I can say that I buy cryptocurrency for all the purposes that are indicated at the beginning of the topic. Two years ago I bought cryptocurrency mainly for the sake of trading, the last year mainly for the sake of investment,bearish market can not be eternal.
In that case I presume you already accumulated a good amount for the bull run.
There is a cycle in the market, thus bearish market cannot stay forever, otherwise this market will be boring and investors will go away.
Patience is just the thing that we have to do if we are investing in crypto, as price does not grow instantly.
