Bear market does make many things difficult, investment top coins feel slow and even continue to decline, and investments in new coins such as roller coasters that can rise and fall significantly, and for now we must limit to invest in new coins.
Investing into top projects may look slow to you, but they are actually quite good and they could make a good return from it if you just wait. It might "feel" slow, but in reality, it is something that should have been the right amount of time to begin with and nothing more.
I personally feel like the best thing to do would be investing into top coins during this period, even if only just bitcoin, and wait for it to go back to bull season, it will definitely work there is no doubt in my mind. After we are in the bull season and prices go up, then you can start risking a smaller amount to brand new projects, but not right now.
