What would you do if the bear market hits?

I for one don’t think it’s here yet but all those bearish posts got me thinking. What would the majority do during it? We all say we will buy the dip like madmen but do we all really have the balls to do that when we see our portfolio going -90%?

I have been in 2 crashes and been DCAing in the dips and thus I am still sitting in gains territory. But most people will sell especially new retail investors. I have heard people saying that they will HODL and just wait. While some optimist believe they can time the market.

I will just continue with my DCAs, staking and HODL.

And whenever we see some nice green gains I might take out my initially investments.

What would you do when it happens?
