Everyone talks about Bear and Bull traders, whales and small fishes on the market. But what you may be missing is that: Wolf and Sheep tale. Once upon a time there was a herd of sheep's, that was taken care by a very wise sheepherder. Every night, the man scouted the herd back to the fence and closed the gate. One day, illness stroke the man, and then he died. Sheep's where outside the fence, and that's were the wolf pack comes in. It was a massacre. There was no sheep left.
Point of history is: when guard is down, bad things can happen, and that's also valid for crypto market.
No Bull can predict a Bearish season, no Bear can predict a Bullish season. But you can always keep your herd on your fence, if you know where the gate is.
There is always methods to keep wolf's out, and try to be a wolf yourself.
In simpler words, that's the same as saying, you should safeguard your money and try to maximize your potential gains.
And remember:
Both wolf's and sheep's, most of the time, either walk on herd's or walk in pack's.
Don't underestimate the potential of being a valuable and respected member of a group can bring to you. If you feel your actual group don't fit your goals anymore, you might have some options. The hardest one is try to change your group's mindset. The easiest one might be change your mindset, and maybe look for another group. World are full of people who probably think same as you, and probably think differently too.
Also, try to remember the core things that brought you into crypto world too. That might be an internal analysis you need to look into before anything else. I doubt it was just about money. This may help you finding the right crypto to invest. People tends to get into crypto world for several reasons.
It may differ from one to another, and i'm not list all possibilities here, after all, it's a huge scope.
Also, don't be fooled by false advices. They're everywhere. From internet, to family, to your nextdoor neighbor. Remember, safeguard your herd, and unleash your pack to hunt. No Bear, no Bull.
