Bearish and stagnant months in the crypto space is for accumulation. It might be too late for you to accumulate when the market goes back on track before the end of this year.
There are so many ways for you to accumulate without the need of spending too much (like mining, it's not for all). Among these options are play-to-earn blockchain games, decentralized finance (DeFi), staking, social media networks which provide crypto rewards, content creation (blogs, vlogs, podcasts), NFT creation and even joining giveaway, bounty and testnet competitions of various crypto projects.
The possibilities are limitless if you have the dedication and perseverance to succeed in the crypto space because succeeding in the crypto space is succeeding in real life. That's self-explanatory, I believe.
