I have come a long way to understand that a magic wand is not needed to become a good investor. Like any other activity in life, investing requires one to be knowledgeable, well-disciplined, and data-driven.

I have been lucky enough to have experienced 2 crypto cycles (the 2018-2020 Bear market and the 2020-2021 bull market). I'm in my third cycle right now, another bear market.

All the experience I gained along the way has made me realize one thing. The bear market is where you have a lifetime opportunity to make good profits from your investment.

I built an underdog portfolio during this bear market and I will see how that goes during the next bull market. The estimated returns for that portfolio is $826,350 with only $992 currently invested.

The potential returns estimation = Number of Shares X Previous ATH

Most of the assets in this portfolio are down more than 70% on average and based on my personal research and opinion I think they may survived the bear market while coming back stronger in the bull market.

As you can notice, most of these assets are in the gaming and DeFi sectors, two sectors that I believe still have a stronger use case for years to come.

Here is a breakdown of the portfolio:

Please, keep in mind that this is a personal opinion on the selected tokens. No one really can't tell for sure how a token will perform in the future. But the one thing that can be true is that a project that stays active delivering and communicating during the bear market is always a good sign.

The bear market is full of opportunities, you just have to find them, invest what you can afford, and wait for the storm to clear. If things go your way, you will be making the most of your investment.

"Be fearful when others are greedy, and be greedy only when others are fearful." – Warren Buffett

In other words, bear markets are often the best time to buy.
