Its not a problem actually if bitcoin will create possible lower lows by next year because it only means our opportunity to buy bitcoin and other coins is extended, thus giving us greater chances to be profitable when the final bull market is here. Although its still uncertain if we will witness a new all time high after bitcoin halving, but whatever it is, we should still not resort into panicking as it will only bring a total loss for all of us.
Yes even the bearish season will last longer, it's not a problem for investors who are thinking positively and seeing it as an opportunity to accumulate more.
However not all investors are thinking the same way specially the weak investors who panic everytime the price drop further. Thus, investing is Bitcoin is only for investors who can handle their emotions and able to hold regardless of the situation.
