My game plan when bears show up in 2026? Stack during the dip, lock in the strongest projects, and stay patient. Most traders panic-sell at the bottom—that's when the real opportunity window opens. The ones who survive downturns aren't the ones trying to time every bounce; they're building conviction on quality assets and letting the cycle do its work. Boring maybe, but it works.

I'm just worried that when the bear market really hits in 2026, I'll still be impulsively selling off my holdings. It's easy to talk about, but it's really hard to do.

That's right, it's all about having that mindset. That's exactly how I did it last year. While others were cutting losses, I was quietly building positions. Now looking back, I feel great. The key is mental resilience; most people just can't handle that panic.

Listen, when the bear market comes, it's the time to buy the dip. Those panic selling are all newbies.

That's right, just don't panic. Last year, watching those people sell off at a 10% drop made me laugh so hard. The ones who bought the dip ended up winning in the end.

When the bear market comes, buy the dip. I've figured out this trick long ago; the key is to hold back and not act.

Buy when it drops, we'll see who panics first when the time comes

2026 Bear Market? Uh, your way of thinking sounds a bit different from the on-chain data I’ve seen. When retail investors are bottom-fishing, the whales have already calculated the distribution of chips long ago. You think you're bottom-fishing, but actually they’ve already hit the point.

Holding chips during the 2026 bear market? That's old news. The ones who truly make money are never those who chase highs, but rather those who hold firm at the bottom without selling.
