Preserving principal is crucial in a bear market. On-chain theft is frequent, and chasing a few percentage points of profit can result in losing everything – a common investment mistake. All investments carry risk, even those held in exchanges or mining. Our top principle is to always have stop-loss and take-profit orders. You must always consider how to handle the worst-case scenario. Otherwise, the most regrettable thing is losing your principal even when a bull market arrives. Be optimistic in investing, but be rigorous in risk management.
