I still believe that one of the less risk way to make money from the cryptocurrencies market is through hedges. I have succeed in it and that makes it to look worthwide. Because of the ways other currency fluctuate against bitcoin if you calculate very well there is no way you will not make money from the market.
You are wrong if you are thinking that giving your money to a hedge fund and allowing them to take care of your assets is a safer way to deal with the risks of a bear market. Remember that in cryptocurrency you cannot trust anyone with your money. If you own your coins then you should not share those because in case of theft, you have no legal grounds to fight and get back the money that you have sent.
Again there is no method to hedge your money by not giving the entire control of the funds to a third party. After all trust is always a issue here. But if you are hedging your funds on your own against other markets then it is not a problem.
