As the heat of the 2025 bull market cools, it’s time to think ahead. Just as you wouldn’t wait for the first snowfall to buy a winter coat, you shouldn’t wait for the crypto market to turn bearish to prepare.
🌟 Why prepare now?
- The bull run is over: The exhilarating gains of the bull market may have sent you soaring to the clouds, but remember, only a small fraction will hold onto those gains. The 2025 bull run is over, and now is the time to secure your future. - Regulatory clouds are gathering: The past few years have seen an increase in regulations targeting the cryptocurrency market. This trend is not going away; if anything, it is gaining momentum. Decentralization as we knew it from 2011 to 2020 has evolved into what we can now call “regulated decentralization.” While this may seem like an improvement over centralization, it is important to be realistic rather than idealistic.
🔍 Face the realities of the crypto world - Stay grounded: If 5% of your capital is in crypto, it makes sense to believe in a particular coin. But if you have a lot invested, be cautious. The market is designed so that 80% of participants will eventually lose money, especially during a recession. - Bear market risk: Bear markets are not just about falling prices. They are also when scams, hacks, and frauds spike. Stablecoins, considered by many to be safe, can face significant challenges, including long-term price declines or, in the worst case, outright scams.
🛡️ Protect your investment
- Strategize for survival: The key to surviving the crypto winter is preparation. Whether it's diversifying your portfolio, staying up to date on regulatory changes, or simply holding on.
