Market downturns aren't always a dead zone—if you know where to look, there's real money to be made.

The key? Stay sharp and move when opportunities show up.

Take the $ZAMA NFT situation. Early participants who grabbed these are sitting on solid gains right now. Each NFT is valued at around $4,000 in token equivalent at current market rates. For those who managed to accumulate 3-5 of them? We're talking $12,000 to $20,000 in holdings. That's not pocket change.

The pattern holds: when you combine market timing with strategic positioning in emerging projects, the upside potential becomes pretty compelling. The difference between the winners and the rest usually comes down to execution and timing.

Bear market bottoming out, earning more than in a bull market

Honestly, a bear market is the best time to scoop up bargains; it all depends on whether you're willing to take the plunge. If I had known back when ZAMA was around, I would have gone all in. Seeing other people's account numbers now makes me uncomfortable. Timing everything... sounds easy, but executing it is really tough.

NGL, bottoming out in a bear market is really how you make money; the key is to have a good sense of smell.

I've always said that timing is everything, but unfortunately most people still buy high and sell low.

Honestly, ZAMA Nabo did indeed buy the dip and profit, but such luck is too significant... Most people still get cut off and lose their lives.

The idea of bottoming out in a bear market has been heard too many times. But can it really be executed to the bottom? ZAMA indeed made quite a profit in that wave, but it's survivor bias, everyone. It sounds easy, but actually executing it is a whole different story.

Making a profit during a bear market truly depends on vision and quick reflexes

Alright, just for ZAMA this wave, early birds really made a killing --- Again, timing decides everything. I was just a little off --- 3-5 ZAMA directly earned 20k, now that's a big hit --- Downturns are the time to scoop up bargains, see who reacts fastest --- Sounds nice, but execution is the key. I'm still a slowpoke --- 4000 bucks for an NFT, how early do I need to get in to bottom fish --- Stop with these, the key is to know which project is the next ZAMA --- Early participants are indeed sitting pretty, the rest of us just have to wait and see

You can make money even in a bear market, the key is vision and quick reflexes. Wow ZAMA, those who bought in the morning really made a killing; 4k for an NFT is no small number. This is the information gap, brother. While others are cutting losses, you're buying the dip. But to be honest, most people simply don't have the execution power for that.
