Amid a sharp plunge for Bitcoin and other top tokens like Ethereum and Solana, some cryptocurrency investors say they’re taking a long-term view of the market to weather the storm
“Crypto is very volatile,” she tells TIME. “We’re going to have nasty downturns. And that’s okay. People get confused and think, ‘Oh, I’m going to have massive gains all the time’—but that’s not the way things work. Because we have volatile massive gains, we’re also going to have volatile massive downturns.
Price dips can also serve as an opportunity to buy more of a coin that you have faith will perform well in the future, says Lea Thompson, the founder of“I’m really invested in projects that I think will have a lot more value long-term than where they are currently,” she says. “For me, those are Bitcoin and Ethereum. If you’re flipping a NFT or trying to get a great return on some other alt coin, there’s a lot of potential money to be made.
“I think any experienced trader will tell you that unless you really know what you’re doing, you’re setting yourself up for a challenging time,” he says. “Leverage is great when the market goes up, but if there’s a sudden downturn, you can get liquidated. That’s something I’ve experienced personally and while it wasn’t a devastating loss, things like that help you learn to minimize risk.”

If you have these set criteria for yourself, when the market does turn, you can just go ahead and execute based off the assessments you made.
