The bear market makes people volatile, you have people who are nervy and edgy and spend their day listening to crypto experts talking about doom. It's inevitable. Each crypto cycle brings different emotions.

When people experience a tremendous surge in the price, for example, they're prone to predicting outrageous prices, because they're overwhelmed by the figures they're seeing every time they check their wallet.

However, it's the same with people when they experience the "dip" the effect of the fall makes people wonder what the bottom will feel like, and because of this panic, they often predict or wait for worst-case scenarios, especially since crypto itself isn't a sentimental asset.

Since it's not, it's surprising to know that it's we the holder are the ones who are sentimental. We tend to predict "highs" and "lows" based on the emotions we hold as decided by the market.

Why is this?

These sentiments can be toxic. Originally people should expect these things, since crypto is volatile, we can still predict the outcome of the seasons and the impact it'll have on our finances, and how it'll generally test our overall faith in crypto.

Irrespective of this, we still find ourselves slotting into newer FUDs whenever we see the epic beginning of an epic dip.

Sometimes, the bear market brings a certain purification, that is when it gets really bad, the weak hands begin to sell and jump ships, it's not because they don't understand these patterns and cycles but because they (weak hands) will always exist.

Stable-minded People Dealing Unstable Assets

Now, it's a common practice for people to stay glued to their wallets especially when there's a rapid price change. There's a change in our needs, a change in our desires, and a change in some of the expectations we hold, but naturally, we cannot blame ourselves for always checking our wallets, the external inclination to do so is often stronger than our will to ignore the market movements and actions and focus on building and accumulating.

Another reason why we constantly check our wallets, even if this can test our resolve is that we're stable-minded people dealing with an unstable technology with its mindless capacity and chaos. We have real lives that need money to take care of real problems and needing money at all times, makes us seek the means to be constantly up and doing.

There's no constancy to crypto and that's why volatility is general putrid to man and his systems. People are being paid to spread FUD about projects which some others are duly invested in and even in the Hive blockchain, this is evident and no exception.

There's this guy who is always going around talking about how the Hive ecosystem is a sinking ship. While this might not have any effect during a bull run, it'll surely do during a bear market.

Telling people their project will go to shit creates a realistic concern, this is because most people are already edgy, watching prices and contemplating whether to leave or stay.
Loool

Sentimental Value & Real Value

Since holding sentimental value towards one's assets will equip them towards holding on, it's also important to be emotionless when it comes to dips and how it tends to mess us up. One thing is vital, staying away from people spreading FUD goes a long way.

Many people's actions are driven by the negative or positive influence of the market and it's crazy to still imagine that we never get tired of being hopeless during the bear market and being extravagant during the bull market.

Most people become made for life during the bear season while some lose the opportunity to be "made" as well. This translates to the fact that we need a personal and strong conviction to relate to the bear market and all the challenges that come with it.
