Traditionally, one of the most effective strategies has been timing market cycles—exiting at the peak and re-entering at the bottom.
Timing the market has never been one of the most effective strategies. It has traditionally been the way for people to lose money.
It's very true to my mind. It's almost impossible to time the market, you are either lucky and sell coins during a right time or there is a very high chance that you'll sell at a wrong price, then it starts growing, you become a victim of FOMO, then market falls, you sell it and you'll be in a loss.
However, the landscape is shifting. New regulations in the EU are tightening control over digital assets, leaving only a few approved options for stable storage.
One dominant player is emerging, but concerns about centralization and potential asset freezes are growing.
This raises an important question: What if the safest move isn’t to trade in and out but to rethink the entire approach?
With uncertainty surrounding off-ramps and increasing scrutiny on transactions, long-term holding may become the best option by default.
Perhaps the era of cycling between bull and bear markets is coming to an end, and the real power play is to stay in the game permanently.
EU banned only USDT but it was never the best stablecoin. There are better ones like USDC and the liquidity is normal, next to USDT. By the way, if someone is afraid of freezes, they should use DAI.
I think that no stablecoin is safe long-term and after lots of thinks, I came to the conclusion that you don't really need to convert your money in stablecoin or stable currency. Convert Bitcoin to another popular currency like Ethereum and try to earn more coins. Don't look the value of your coins in USD, focus on growing the numbers of either Bitcoin or Ethereum. I think that this is the best long-term strategy.
