> *The best is to have no expectations and to do your best day in, day out without being affected by the price of your tokens...*

very good advice. I find it really effective. It's what I do already LOL! If I focus on the value vs fiat, I won't be as motivated to post at least once a day. :P thank you for your insights esp. about emotions when investing or trading. We can't control the market unless we have a majority share in everything :P well, I'm waiting how it all unfolds. For the meantime, it's not a bad idea to have fun while waiting it out. Happy week ahead!

All the people who are using the craze at the moment are very worried and tired because it has been a long time and they are seeing their money dwindling and some people who are more afraid. They sell their stuff and they never make a profit. This is the time when the market will be moved up and down so that the people who are there sell their things within the market. 

>If you went into crypto it's probably also because you kind of stopped trusting fiat currencies. So why do we always measure the value of tokens in fiat???

does it because mot of us are not really losing trust on fiat, but rather trying to get more fiat by getting their hand in crypto? Well that is one way to think about it.

The faucet were the first attraction for me also. Unfortunately when I come to k ow about the crypto the BTC was already booming. But I must say I have accumulated good Doge and convert them into Hive over the time. 

The low market is also an opportunity for investment, choose your favorite tokens and build your collection.  

And yiu are very true less posting also means you will get less in USD but good in HIVE

> But do you have less hive than yesterday?

That's a powerful sentence. 

We often look at the total assets' value in USD but we forget that we have the same amount/number of assets before the price drop.

Wonderful post, Achim Beda!

the bear market have affected me because all my earnings are in crypto and right now are lower in comparation to  other times.. but i know this wont last forever and soon we will be earning a lot!

I started Hive when it was still riding high over $1. I couldn't have imagined it falling to these prices we have now.

Oh, being in crypto 95% over anything else is painful at this moment... I remember very well the last painful bear market in 2018 that I "survived"... It wasn't pleasant at all, and I said that I will not allow the same happen again... Well, I wouldn't say that I have failed (lol), as it is a bit better now... I learned some basics about not selling low, HODLing good tokens, etc... but still, it hurts to see the token value going down, even if you don't "convert" them into fiat value... If you have to buy bread, it is more expensive in HIVE too... 

Anyways, every bear market is a good time to accumulate tokens, that's for sure!

Yes You are saying right. When the hive price increases the number of posts update also increases. Greater the chances of earnings.

> You build your fortune when prices are down

This is so true. I have learnt to appreciate this statement, when I gained a lot Hive/HP when Hive was low last year.

Six years ago I found this blogging platform. And since then I have been writing what happens to me on a regular basis, regardless of the value of the crypto, I am more limited by the time I have available. 
But it is true that when Hive is worth more, then I am worth more. It's a kind of satisfaction. But, lately, we're all vegetating more together...

Oh, salt in the wound) In fact, I had already forgotten when there were pleasant surprises about cryptocurrencies. I guess it upsets me more. In the mix with the economy and war, it's a full house of aces and jokers.)

Very well said! I noticed that we suffer more in our minds and emotions than in reality during the bear market. If we could just forget about the fiat value and focus on the tokens then most of the suffering will disappear. But it's really a work in progress for our brains are hard wired to keep an eye on the dollar value because that's the only way we know to measure things :) 

Spot on @achim03! I've been here every day building, growing, and saving, posting, and engaging, regardless of what Hive's value is in relation to fiat currencies. You said it exactly, why do we measure Hive's value in fiat terms? I don't. Learning to leverage our assets is very powerful, and something I've been learning here more and more! Hive will explode at some point, and I'll just keep chugging along, building, growing, and saving! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
