Crypto investing in bullrun: Doing nothing is doing everything!

[Bobcrypto]

The crypto market is in a rather unusual state: tens of billions of $ have flowed into the market, tens of billions of USDT and USDC have been minted, and many new stablecoins have been introduced, yet we have boredom as the price of BTC fluctuates around $100K.

When BTC price dropped from $108K to $90K two days ago, many investors were scared and worried that BTC price would decrease to $70K. However, today, when BTC price quickly recovered from $90K to $100K, investors became greedy and started talking about $160K or even higher. Looking back, an experienced trader could have made a significant profit by selling BTC at $108K and buying back more BTC at $90K. On the contrary, many other investors might have panicked and sold their BTC when it was at $90K, and they are now regretting not holding BTC more firmly.

After many years in the market, I've noticed that investors always have the expectation of trying to optimize their accounts during bullrun by attempting to sell and buy multiple times to take advantage of fluctuations within each market wave. Unfortunately, they usually fail and hand over their tokens to whales just before the market experiences a massive surge.

In 2025, a similar pattern might be repeating itself, with whales psychologically torturing investors by making them constantly see and miss out on profits, forcing them to consider hypothetical scenarios about optimizing portfolio success. I myself am holding several tokens with large price fluctuations such as AVAX, ADA, DOT, NEAR, IMX and sometimes I feel a bit regretful looking back at the opportunities on their price charts.

Comparing a few % of profit and the risk of missing out on hundreds of % helps me make the best choice for myself right now, which is to continue holding crypto until the market shows clear signs of a trend reversal instead of constantly buying and selling and creating unnecessary pressure for myself. The recent rise in BTC price has already brought me profits and altseason will generate more profits, which is sufficient for my investment plan in this cycle. Avoiding frequent trading also gives me more time to monitor and analyze the market, maintaining a clear head in every investment decision.

Lao Tzu also once said "Doing nothing is doing everything", I find it particularly true for my hold-to-signal strategy in 2025. I focus on my real-life work and avoid making regrettable mistakes with my crypto account.

Are you holding crypto or trying to buy and sell as much as possible to increase the number of tokens and optimize profits from this bullrun?

Just like you have been observing, the crypto market is viewed by some big investors as the greatest opportunity to make massive profits, hence the there is a perception amongst them that they are in direct position to determined price movements as they wish and not some holders or little retail investors.
As for me, i like trading constantly, making profit even as a day trader or swing, both are great opportunity to always refill my portfolio. Bitcoin drives the crypto market price, and trading along side the Btc trends, give me chances to earn more profit overtimes.

For humans, yes, your recommendation is good for them.

Not so much for maxis and bots.

Maxis are going to buy evey dip, peak, and sidewalk left and right. That's just how we are. We've got laser eyes and everything. We're bullish long term.

Bots are trying to turn a profit short term so they will be more picky on when they will buy and sell.

Yeah, for professional traders, trading is necessary and they have their own criteria for capital management and risk management. They trade frequently at small timeframes to generate profits instead of holding for many weeks or months. Clearly, my perspective doesn't align with their investment style and yours, which is completely normal.

I also admire traders because they can maintain their composure and experience the boredom of the market while treating every investment decision the same: always with take profit and stop loss. I hope that in the future, I will also accumulate enough experience to become a trader instead of having to predict the market for an entire cycle and hold for the long term.

My one rule is to get your emotion under wraps, and most times knowing just when to quit would save you from a lot of losses.

I think investment on bullrun is risky. We know bear market is best for investment. Claver investors invest in bear market and wait for bullrun. But we saw some people were demotivated when bear market run but that's same person want to invest when bull session start. And most of time they were loser.

[AlphaBeta]

Yeah, timing is very essential, and once you've missed it, you just have to wait and be ready because the market would always present you with new opportunities.

That's a better option than running into the market because you don't want to miss out from what everyone is talking about.

When it comes to the crypto market patience is key and fundamental because the market can become volatile sometimes times but you can't use little volatility of the market to panic and sell off you Btc I get your point that a lot of BTC holders are greedy because when the price of Bitcoin is up they would have used it to sell their Bitcoin asserts and reinvest by buying more when the price is down but the fact is different people has different views of things so a lot of people are emphasis more on holding rather than selling so what I will say is that every one should do what he or she feels like is the best but for me crypto currency especially Bitcoin is still expected to rise in the coming days so we should still hold on for a while before selling so we could reinvest it back by buying more crypto asserts

Yeah, the scary thing is I've seen many Holders turn into Traders because they believe they can take advantage of market fluctuations to increase their profits, making up for their late entry into the market. Sometimes they succeed when they sell at a high price and buy back at a lower price, but sometimes they also fail and lose their tokens because the token price does not decrease as they expected.

I think seriousness and consistency are necessary for investors, they need to understand their strengths to take advantage of and turn that strength into profit. More transactions do not mean greater profits, sometimes taking a break and temporarily not paying attention to market news is the most effective and leisurely investment method!

In my opinion, they were traders from the beginning, but in the middle, when the market conditions were not good, they came out and said they were Bitcoin holders.
I also know someone who has made good profits by selling during this period of high and low prices, but now he is in a bit of a trap because his entire holding fund is now in stable funds and he is not getting the right price to invest. In fact, if a plan strategy is not completed, then one can find oneself in such a difficult situation. Although he did not lose, he is no longer able to touch the target he wanted to sell.

Those who do this, that when the price of Bitcoin increases, they sell it and when it decreases, they buy it and then sell it later, are basically trading knowingly or unknowingly and in the case of trading, it is very important to have the ability to understand analysis skills and market psychology. And when someone does not have this ability, they still trade, as a result, they make profits several times, but in the end they face huge losses.

Doing nothing or in this context is holding, I think it only applies to some coins with good fundamentals, considering that not all tokens or coins will be able to survive for a long time, and there are also coins that can only be profitable in the short term...

Currently, the coins that are best monitored are SOL and XRP... Solana has interesting fundamentals and use cases, while XRP we know that the government is now starting to side with crypto and XRP is one of the coins that has a big impact on Trump's political response...

Both coins can be said to be suitable for the long term, like BTC... strong liquidity and very good fundamentals make everything worthy of being left in the wallet.

It's better to be in the middle of things.
Though, honestly speaking, aping BTC is always a great idea

I have observed one thing very well that whale investors can profit more when the market is bearish. When ordinary investors panic and are worried about selling their Bitcoin, whale investors are able to buy Bitcoin at a relatively low price at that time. If investors do not have the courage to invest in Bitcoin, then it is better not to invest because when the price of Bitcoin continues to decrease, they will panic again and give profits to the whales. If an investor has the ability to invest for the long term, then he will definitely able to make profit.

whales will buy potential coins like bitcoin and top coins when the market is sluggish then they hold it until the market improves again and maybe because their capital is large they do not panic and remain calm waiting. While small investors sometimes panic when the market goes down and that makes them rush to sell.

I am agreed with you, whales will never going to buy shit coins, because their fund is big, so they will never take such a big risk with random coins, so they need to buy potential coins, and they focus to tightly hold in the long term, on the other hand small investors always try to make their initial investment 2x-3x in a short time, so they taking big risk, and when they see the market is going down and they are make panic sell with big loss.

holding your coins could be the best strategy after all the market goes up every cycle. BTC is $100k it used to be just less than $1 when it started. i would hold my coins i it were just going up all the way but the cycle is not called cycle when its not going down every time.

there are coins i always trade whenever it reaches its ATH price. sometimes i lose some of them when waiting for the price bottom. unfortunately the bottom is not exactly predictable as well. but sometimes i also win especially the doge. so yeh good luck to Lao Tzu.

Yeah, there are individuals who prefers holding than trading bitcoin, and actually bitcoin move according to its circle. There are bound to be ups and downs on the market at intervals over Bitcoin circles.
Many investors do not understand some of this features, unfortunately they turned emotional and most times engaged in panic selling.
In addition, crypto is difficult to predict, it is obvious that no one can be 100% certain of the price even the bottoming price is not known.

Trading is more advised during the bullrun season, while if we are planning for a long tern investment in bitcoin, then we had better adopt a profitable investment strategy or wait till the market dumps before we set in for our investment, hence we should only invest in bitcoin when we have the patient of waiting for a longer period of time before we can make any decision of selling our holdings.
