After this recent rally, a lot of people started asking:
What to do next when the bear market hits the bottom, and how to position❓️
I think the answer is simple—don’t rush to chase or search for those so-called “100x coins.” The market logic has changed. First, make sure you understand the core assets.
In this cycle, the truly worth holding long-term is only a handful of key targets (DYOR):
Cryptocurrencies: BTC (the king of value storage), ETH (the ecosystem leader), HYPE (emerging, high-upside potential), BNB (benefits from the trading platform), SOL (a high-speed new-generation chain).
Stocks: MSTR (a pioneer in the financialization of Bitcoin), CRCL (related ecosystem), COIN (crypto trading platform), HOOD (retail entry point).
These are steady return👆
Each of these assets represents a different logic: some protect underlying value, some capture ecosystem expansion, and some directly benefit from trading flows and Bitcoin leverage upside.
In my own value investing approach, I prefer the strategy of “slow is fast.” The late stage of a bear market is often the best entry window for ordinary people—but the condition is that you’ve chosen the right core assets and then hold patiently, rather than constantly switching positions. The real gap in returns is never about how many trades you make, but about holding quality and your understanding of the cycle.
Some people like a steadier approach and can sleep well; others are willing to endure volatility for higher returns—both are fine. The key is to match your risk preference and don’t let FOMO cloud your judgment.
The biggest gift the market gives ordinary people is often this: in the right large cycle, pick the few high-quality assets, then quietly wait for compounding to take effect.
