"What doesn't work in a market downturn:
• Panicking and selling your core assets at a loss.
• Over-leveraging to try and 'revenge trade' your way back up.
• Listening to hype-men who promise a 100x recovery by tomorrow morning.
What actually works:
• Keeping 3-6 months of cold, hard cash completely liquid.
• Accepting that markets move in cycles. Volatility is the price of admission.
• Accumulating solid, high-utility projects only when everyone else is terrified.
Capital preservation is a boring strategy, but it’s the only one that guarantees you survive to see the next bull run."
