I just got back from celebrating my parents' 25th wedding anniversary in my hometown, which gave me the chance to catch up on many of my favourite YouTubers. One thing that I often wonder when watching these guys, is how they're coping with this bear market in terms of the money they might have lost since December/January time.
As someone who is a content creator in this space myself, I thought I'd share a 100% honest and transparent video about how difficult and challenging I've found this bear market to be.

I remember you said that in your last post about a 25th wedding celebration, actually to call for celebration, like I said. It is worth celebrating. I pray they will witness more years in good health to celebrate mire or it.
Me too brother, I couldn't imagine what they would be going through now with their investments being lost without nothing to do to it other than to wait, maybe couple years or so who knows. Well, we should always be optimistic about this bear market of a thing if we don't want to breakdowm, thinking of what the price would be tomorrow.

Here is my info:
-99% in crypto
-Was introduced to the market in Oct. 2017
-Went all in by December 2017
-More than 80% of my savings
All in all, this time basically is killing me little by little and yet I know that I'll weather it out because I understand what Blockchain is and how it will change face of the financial world.
".........There is just nothing that I can do to stop that. It is completely out of my hands, so all I can do is grit my teeth and weather the storm.........."
This is how I feel too. In the end it comes down to whether we trust the decisions we made in the past and stick by them. Of course we would have to apply all that we have learned during this period and make the appropriate course correction.
Let me also say that I am infinitely grateful that I have examples like you and a few other people here that I can learn from. What you guys are sharing here means a lot to some us and thank you for that!

Speaking candidly about such an emotional topic regarding money is important. To gain trust you first have to be genuine and I've always felt that was you.

I guess it's pretty difficult. I think you shouldn't have a problem in the long term if you keep your content's quality consistent.
Just keep on doing what you are doing - similarly to how it is a good idea to accumulate coins in the bear market, in anticipation of a bull market.

Excellent video. Agree that I was very discouraged I didn't handle the up run better. For me there was a lot of personal problems that had me paralyzed from making big moves cause I didn't want taxes or return to show to high.
Regret not unloading more and would love it to go up but it may take longer than the space realizes. When we were at 1k then 10k seemed like it was decades away. As we get closer to the havening and more adoption it will eventually have to find its real value.
I do believe the huge run may have been manipulated by exchanges and we may be more around where we should truly be.

Have you created new profit taking strategies because of the past year? I haven't been as good at tracking but trying to sell around each thousand up and buy back each thousand down. If we get in a range it is still enough to gain some btc along the way.

Great video @louisthomas! If you keep interviewing crypto friendly businesses, it'll go a long way in facilitating the mass adoption of crypto. Keep it up!

The beer-based cryptocurrency - we are Beerchain, creating the beer-based cryptocurrency Beercoin. The beer market is a billion-dollar industry which has not seen many innovations in recent years and is currently decreasing in volume in many parts of the world. While the consumer base is shrinking a lot of new competition, in form of craft beer breweries, is trying to find a solid foothold in the market.

IMHO having a clear understanding the technology and more importantly a realistic understanding the technology road map is the key to "staying sane" and retaining faith in crypto. I firmly believe that the technology will win out in the end, but I also feel that it may take much longer than many people think and that we may be in for a prolonged bear market until that happens.

As you mentioned “it’s only a paper loss!”. Even people who bought bitcoin when it was at it’s beginnings kind of feel they are loosing money. At $20k they felt like the profits are already theirs, if you know what I’m talking about. I personally feel the same way about crypto. On one hand I just simply know it will eventually go up and we all will finally start making nice profits. On the other hand I know this subconscious feeling asking myself “what if I’m wrong? What if it’s all over with crypto?” That’s absolutely not going to happen. Crypto is like a litle baby growing day by day. If crypto was at $20k, most of us wouldn’t sell anyway and whoever would, good, let’s get rid off those who are here for small quick profits. Some of my cryptos are still profitable such as ETH or BTS and some are a bit under water such as LTC, EOS, BTC and IOTA. But whatever, we all have to get through this. Just don’t loose sleep over this bear market, it’s not worth it.

deal with this bear market is not easy, I think that for a good balance would be good idea to keep money invested in conservative portfolio for these cases.

I'm finding it amazing how cool I am about it. I think it has a lot to do with listening to people like you and @taskmaster4450. It's the technological developments and the process of creating the regulatory and technological infrastructure necessary for institutional investors to join that interest me at this time rather than the price action on the markets.

I know this feeling when you can’t do anything to prevent this selling pressure. It’s like having something inside your body that doesn’t belong there, knowing about it, but still you can’t take it out. At this point all we can do is to be patient. This selling allowed me to lower my average buys and that’s how I look at it. I’m not 100% in crypto just yet, but it’s not just a few $’s either. We can’t let panic take over our emotions. All we have to do now is to be patient. I know, It’s taught to be patient, I understand. But there is not much we can do at this point. How would you feel if you sold now and in two years Crypto hits new all time highs and beyond? If I did sell now, that’s when I would feel like a looser, that’s how I would loose my sleep. The risk/reward is just worth it. Look at the people who invested in bitcoin when it was worth few cents. Everyone laughed at them. Everyone looked at the as crazy people throwing away their savings. It still hasn’t changed and look where the price of bitcoin is now. Still billions and billions people are laughing at crypto and crypto investors. More and more people will realize about crypto being very important and necessary part of their lives.
