So the strategy for getting rich in a bear market is... holding absolutely nothing?

Wild times when people think staying completely out means they're winning. Sure, cash is a position, but watching from the sidelines while accumulation opportunities pass by? That's one way to play it.

The irony hits different when you realize the best entries often come when everyone's convinced owning crypto is financial suicide. But hey, zero exposure means zero stress, right?

Just fascinating how bear market psychology works.

Speaking of which, the ones who make the most money in a Bear Market are those tough individuals who dare to buy the dip.

Laughing to death, they still want to buy the dip like this? Those who dare to go all in when the market is falling like this are all gamblers.

Wow, I can win just by having a Short Position? What have I been doing these years?

Ngl, this is a typical case of fear psychology at play, missing the best opportunity to enter a position while self-comforting by saying it's for risk aversion.

This mentality is really amazing, you can make money just by sitting and counting money?

Well said, the ones who dare to buy the dip often make the most money in a Bear Market, while the Short Position holders are really just winning a lot.

Alright, is this what they call "not losing is earning"? I actually want to see how these people explain it when the Bear Market is over.

It's so damn ironic that people are now hiding in cash feeling good about themselves, only to miss a historic buy the dip opportunity.

Nah, this logic is flawed. A Short Position means lying flat, and the missed opportunities hurt more than holding a coin and losing.
