>aren't we at the tail end of the cycle
Seems to be what a lot of people think
>why put it into bitcoin then bitcoins
Because if we are at the tail end of the cycle we are (probably) either going to take off or crash pretty soon.
If the market starts moving up and you feel confident about the direction then pivoting to lower marketcap coins means that $30k has a much better chance of doubling, tripling, or whatever.Whereas if you left in bitcoin even if it doubled you'd only have $60k which isn't going to do a lot for you considering your losses.
Likewise, if the market goes down a 10% drop in bitcoin isn't going to do a ton of damage.but alts will probably be down 20% or more by then.
>leaving it in cash and waiting for bear market
The thing is you don't know if we're going into bear market.
I think it's also hard for most people to jump in if price has already gone up, they might be in disbelief still and hold off until they get prices from just a week or two prior.
Either way it's your call.
