How to Lose Money in *Both* Bull and Bear Markets Like a Pro!

Gather 'round, gather 'round, future financial wizards and current market victims. Somebody asked, "Do people lose more money in a bull or bear market?" and honestly, that’s like asking if you gain more weight from fast food or dessert. The answer? Yes.

Let’s break this down, with a mix of cold-hard truth and a little slap-in-the-face motivation.

Ah, the sweet, seductive bull market. Prices are going UP. Your neighbor suddenly thinks he's Warren Buffett. Your Uber driver is giving crypto advice. Your cousin who still owes you $50 is now a "financial guru" on TikTok.

What do people do? They FOMO in. They see green candles and go full send, throwing money into stocks and crypto, not because they understand them, but because "Bro, it's only going up!"

This is mistake #1: buying high, fueled by euphoria and hopium. But don’t worry, the pain hasn’t started yet.

Then, reality slaps hard. Prices dip. The media starts screaming "RECESSION! CRYPTO IS DEAD! SELL EVERYTHING!", and people panic.

So what do they do? They sell low. They cut their losses. They give up. Because fear always wins over logic.

This is mistake #2: selling low because you forgot the number one rule: Buy low, sell high. Instead, you did the opposite. Again. Like 99% of retail investors.

Oh, but we’re not done. Let’s say you did make money in the bull market. You bought BTC at $10K, it hit $50K, and you sold. NICE! You made 5X! You feel like a genius.

Then BTC goes to $100K. Then $200K. Now you’re sitting there, staring at your screen, realizing you left millions on the table.

You didn’t technically lose money, but you sure as hell lost potential money, which hurts even more.

The answer: Everyone who doesn’t have a plan.

Markets go up, markets go down. But people who don’t understand cycles, risk management, and patience? They lose in both directions.

Moral of the story:
✅ Stop buying just because something is going up.
✅ Stop selling just because something is going down.
✅ If you’re gonna play the game, study the damn rules first.

Or, you know, just HODL and check back in 10 years. Your call! And guess which route I'm taking...

🚀 Now, go make smart moves! Or at least dumber mistakes than last time.
