I am present in crypto space years ago and I have witnessed two bear market, and I couldn't take advantage of one because of the condition that I was into at the time, but I heard about every good and bad things about crypto.
But I am curious about something and I will like to ask you old Bitcoin OG on here .
Why is it that bad news always comes in a bear market and when we are in a bull market, all bad news about Bitcoin vanished? Are they doing this on purpose? It's always the bear market, after halving everything will disappear and some bans will be lifted, and so on...
Are we been played? Are these people toying with us, knowing that crypto will work but let's scare the hell out of them and take advantage of the fear? I can't come up with anything that makes more sense than this.
I guess you haven't heard of perma-bears? those individuals who are going to destroy bitcoin by creating FUD and negative things specially in a bear market to bring down the price because that's what they enjoy to be honest.
Well there is a counter to these perma-bears, and obviously, it is the perma-bulls. This even out the situation but the strength of its influence depends on the market season. If the market is bullish, obviously perma-bears have the upper hand and vice versa when the market is bearish.
So may say that we are being played, nevertheless the best thing to do is:
a. don't listen to them, just think of it as something part of the market
b. you said that you have been in 2 bear market, so by now you should know that it's better to accumulate in bear market then listening and be emotional everything you hear attacks on bitcoin.
It is obvious that these two parties wanted to dominate the market and will do their best to influence it. The battle of these two dominant parties always ends up with the minnows being played according to their schemes. So yeah I agree with you that we should be knowledgeable about the market and never let these people play with our emotion.
