I think that in the nearest future the time of bear market will end. All short positions will be closed and we will continue growing. As for me, I always invest on long term, it makes bigger profit than fast trades.
As for long term investment, have you still consider to do such action in order to limit your loss? Such as if the coin you are holding is dropping on its value, you sell it to a stable coin? That kind of things that traders are doing. Because I am convinced to invest more on a particular coin in a long term basis.
