Another big crash (50–80%) is always possible, because it’s a volatile, risk-driven market.

Crypto doesn't carry any intrinsic value like gold.

Cryptocurrency is a set of algorithms and ideas wrapped up in a lot of hope and wishful thinking.

Is it a security? No, absolutely not; it doesn’t represent some other asset (e.g., ownership of a corporation, a debt, etc.). It’s not an asset because it has no intrinsic value to anyone for anything; it’s literally a series of bits in all its forms, unlike a dollar (often represented as bits), which can exist as a bill. It’s not even really a currency; I have never had the opportunity to spend my ether.

So what happened? People realized that they held something of little value and dumped it. If I had bought a significant amount of cryptocurrency, I’d have dumped it long ago; I’m only HODLING because it’s an amount of money I mentally gave up on 18 months ago for this experiment. It’s just like gold; it has crested $2,000 twice in my life, but today is only worth about $1,200 an ounce. However, gold does have intrinsic value; people use it to make jewellery and electronics. Still, lots of people bought at $2,000 and lost fortunes.

1. Never invest money you can’t afford to lose

Crypto can drop 50–90% quickly.
Your safest shield is limiting how much you expose.

🧊 2. Stick to strong, proven coins

Historically, these survive crashes better:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)

  • Ethereum (ETH)

Most altcoins (meme coins, new tokens, hype projects) often:

❌ lose 90–99%
❌ never recover
❌ vanish completely

📉 3. Don’t use leverage

Margin trading = the fastest way to get liquidated during crashes.

Avoid:

  • Futures

  • Options

  • 5x–100x leverage

  • Borrowing against your crypto

Even professionals lose money with leverage during volatility.

🪙 4. Diversify — don’t put everything in one coin

Spread your investments among:

  • BTC

  • ETH

  • Stablecoins

  • Maybe 1–2 high-quality altcoins

This reduces total damage if one coin collapses.

💰 5. Keep part of your capital in stablecoins

Having USDT, USDC, DAI ready gives two advantages:

  • You protect some money from a crash

  • You can buy the dip if you want to

But don’t put 100% into any one stablecoin — they also have risks.

📅 6. Use DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)

Instead of investing a lump sum, invest small amounts regularly:

  • Weekly

  • Biweekly

  • Monthly

This reduces the risk of buying at the top.

🏦 7. Store long-term crypto in a hardware wallet

A crash gets worse if:

  • An exchange freezes withdrawals

  • A platform collapses (like FTX)

Keeping your crypto in a ledger / trezor protects you during exchange failures.

🧠 8. Don’t panic sell during volatility

Selling emotionally during crashes often locks in big losses.

A better approach:

  • Set limits or targets in advance

  • Don’t check charts every hour

  • Have a long-term plan

📊 9. Set stop-loss levels — but wisely

Useful if you trade often (not recommended for beginners).

Example:
“Sell if Bitcoin drops below $XX,XXX.”

But note:
Stop-losses may trigger during panic wicks, causing unnecessary selling.

🔐 10. Watch for red flags early

Recognize signs of an upcoming crash:

  • Too much hype

  • Extreme greed in the market

  • Sudden regulatory news

  • Exchange insolvency rumors

  • Large liquidations in futures markets

If you exit early, you avoid big losses.

🌤️ 11. Rebalance your portfolio regularly

Example strategy:

  • 60% BTC

  • 20% ETH

  • 10% stablecoins

  • 10% altcoins

During bull runs, take some profit from altcoins and move to safer assets.

🎯 12. Have a clear goal before investing

Ask yourself:

  • Am I holding for 5+ years?

  • Am I trading short-term?

  • What price will I take profit?

  • What price will I cut losses?

If your plan is clear, crashes affect you less.
