The Biggest Ways To Unintentionally Create FUD.

The reality of a different financial situation can be alarming and the crypto bear market is one of such. A lot of people understand the bear market, but it's very difficult to normalize it and this is due to the kind of impact that it brings to the table.

It changes the real-time plans of people and the psychological effect of experiencing such a change is why people still sulk and get depressed even when they know that the bear market is inevitable. Honestly, it's a cycle.

There are so many reasons why this cycle is necessary, one of them is buying back everything you've sold during the bull run. However, it's difficult to accept the reality of the bear market no matter how enlightened we are. This is because there will always be a constant reminder of the "new reality" every day we wake up to a sea of red


How far?


I don't know how far we'll dip, at the moment people are beginning to speculate. These speculations are due to them trying to place meaning on what's currently happening. This is because at the beginning. Everyone thought it was going to be a mini dip, then recovery like we've been having since February.

But in the past two days, the dip has taken a different plunge and people are beginning to get the 2018-ish vibes. In reality, spreading speculations is what will do more harm than good, another thing that will do more harm is being glued to social media.

Places like WhatsApp and Twitter, and people making memes of the dip creating FUD with the gloom. This makes it even more difficult to build because a lot of crypto faithful will begin to imagine if the effort at building or accumulating would be worth it.


Owning BTC....

I don't own that much Bitcoin, so I wouldn't be affected by the FUD created by bitcoin maximalists, however, let's come down to Hive we've seen this thing before. 2018, when the chain was still steemit. The crash was so bad, that it was difficult to cope.

I don't think we'll see that kind of crash again, and neither do I think Hive will hit its ATL. I do not want to create any predictions other than this bear run might be better than what we saw in 2018. I tend to think that creating these predictions brings bigger fears.

So many blog posts are already beginning to create these fears. I'm already seeing these posts and majorly, I think they'll affect the newbies more especially those who signed up when the bull was at its peak.


Any Previous "Bear" Experience?

I have survived one full bear market already and honestly, I've forgotten how I did it, I just tend to think every individual should individually find different ways to cope. This is necessary because following the financial advice of others in a critical moment where sentiment tends to beat the tenets of logic is something that might have repercussions.

For me, I understand my coping mechanisms, however, it might not work for another person the way it worked for me. It's worse when others try to influence others by seeing things from their perspective.

At the moment, everyone's perspective is clouded by sentiments and this is because people are trying to keep their cool, however, it's also still difficult to do this especially when you wake up and your portfolio has taken another hit and you're in anticipation to what the bottom will feel like.


Worry, Fear & What's At Stake

This might probably be the last post I'll make concerning the bear market. It's here and it's inevitable and there's nothing we can do to change it. Let's not forget it's time to build, different people should find their unique way to build and this also extends to building one's life to be detached from the impending disappointment that might occur due to this dip.

Another thing is, that this is the time to grow one's stake on Hive. This might not be motivating enough, because we'd see people who would leave, we'd see people who would contradict their goals, and we'd even see people who would begin to influence others with their negativity. But if you're brave enough you'll understand that these things are not new to Crypto.

Don't let yourself be psychologically keyed into these feelings and emotions. If your plans are good enough, activate them, and don't let the financial decisions of others influence you. I don't know how long this bearish situation might last, but I'm in until it's over.

Exactly, we just need to see out this bear market. Accumulating and building ones account will be vital to the next bull run.

So many blog posts are already beginning to create these fears. I'm already seeing these posts and majorly, I think they'll affect the newbies more especially those who signed up when the bull was at its peak.

This is so true.

At moments like this, you'll hear headlines like, "BTC crashes, Investors lose Billions"

Crashes bawo?
Lose what?

I still believe that you haven't lost until you convert that coin to stable coin and calculate the amount you bought it side by side with the amount you're selling it for.

If you bought 1BTC when BTC was $60,000... you haven't lost now that BTC is $32,000.

The only time we can say you've lost is when you convert your $32,000 BTC to USDT.

However, if you still hold it with the diamond hand that you've got, and BTC hits a new ATH of $100,000 in 2 years or less, then you will understand that the moment of trials and dips are necessary to test our "faith".

You actually understand what's happening so well. The newbies who are into crypto might go crazy, FUD will creep in and they might just begin to panic with fear of the unknown. I actually think that it's important to understand the repercussions to this thread. This is the life we signed up for. Sometimes it's best to just understand what losing actually means. Just like with the situation you've narrated.

Building on Hive is where all the fun is at. Engaging with new people, and creating content, is really a lot of fun. Funny if a few years ago you told me to blog for money I would have said I do not have the time lol

Sometimes it validates the impression that almost everything we doubt about the future might be possible one day.

For someone who is earning Hive while posting... I don't think they should feel worry about its prices for now. They should only focus on collecting as much as they can.

Irrespective, we cannot remove that fear in the mind of People, it's what keeps them in check and at alert. It gets to a stage where it's important to train the mind to do what's necessary.

Like every phase in the market, this bear market will pass, hopefully soon. Although the current bleeding can get really scary, and yes, there's FUD everywhere

Well, you're right, it's a phase and it's going to pass, hopefully we're not in for 2 years or more.

Agree with you, @josediccus. No one knows the bottom of the bear market. Everyone's financial situation is different, so you should make a plan based on your situation.

No matter what happens, we are here on Hive. We will be active, hustling, and growing together.

The bear market is a talk that too many people are talking about but I don't think it's that bad at all. After all, it will let you see who actually believes in those projects and it's the time to build your positions.

I think we're going to have the actual believers winning big time and this is because, people who don't build all through both seasons are short changing themselves.
