#数字资产市场动态 Why are bear markets often the best opportunities? When most people give up, true players are quietly positioning themselves in the shadows.

The current market is indeed tough; some have already been worn down to the point of losing confidence. But this precisely indicates — you might be closer to a turning point than you think.

Consider this logic: if the market is full of optimistic spot holders who are all steadfast in their positions, what can the main players use to trigger the next wave of gains? Without capital inflow, where does the rise come from? So, this process is essentially about cleansing those with unstable mindsets, pushing 99% of participants out, and creating space for that 1%.

Financial markets are always zero-sum games. The current squeeze and torment are dividing winners from losers. History repeatedly confirms this rule — when prices are low, no one pays attention; only when prices are high do people wake up. Those who lie in wait silently ultimately cash out amid cheers.

The current hardship is precisely testing your patience. Those who can endure this "despair window" will have the chance to seize the subsequent celebration.

$BNB, Bitcoin, Ethereum — can their current prices really make you smile and add to your positions? If you're still hesitating, maybe ask yourself: is it a lack of confidence, or do you simply not understand the trend?

BNB-1.01%

BTC-1.12%

ETH-1.69%

Sounds good, but how many can actually add positions happily? I'm the 99% who got wiped out, haha.

Sounds like chicken soup... but honestly, bear markets are indeed easier to make money in. --- It's the same old rhetoric again, clearing out retail investors, 1% winners, despair window... I've heard it until my ears are calloused. The key is whether you can really hold on. --- How painful is it? People who cut their losses and run now must be regretting it to death. --- Adding positions now... are you out of your mind? The confidence bottom has been broken. --- Buying coins at low prices sounds simple, but when it comes to actually executing, everyone’s mental state collapses. Don’t fool yourself. --- I just want to know how that 1% is surviving. Watching the decline every day makes me need to take a few pills. --- The logic isn’t wrong, but the problem is I have no idea where the bottom is... --- Adding positions with a smile? Ha, I can't even smile right now.

Bro, I'm tired of this set of talking points. Does the 1% really make money while 99% exit? I think most are still just bagholders.

A bear market is just filtering out the smart people; 99% of people are being washed out, and only the winners remain. --- It's the same old story, but experience has shown me that the hardest times are often the closest to a reversal. --- Smiling and adding to positions? I'm currently gritting my teeth and adding, it hurts like hell. --- Zero-sum game is correct, but I want to know more — when will the main players start truly accumulating? --- The term "despair window" is used perfectly; right now, that's exactly how it feels. --- That phrase "no one pays attention when it's cheap" hits hard. No one believed it a year ago when I said it, now they probably regret it. --- I can't stand this torment; I feel like my mindset is about to collapse. --- Instead of waiting for a 1% chance, it's better to preserve the principal first. --- It sounds very reasonable, but who knows where the bottom is? --- This wave is really testing who can survive and come out alive.
