A tough decision has to be made amid this bearish market: Should you trade in Coins or Tokens?

Coins, Market analysis

After February 6 this year, the leading Coin’s, BTC, market value was expected to see an encouraging recovery and retest the $20,000 psychological barrier . Unfortunately, it was greeted with a sharp downturn followed by a consolidation over the last half-year.

Under these circumstances many cryptotraders became less optimistic in the market, triggering a bear market, and depreciating the value of other coins deposited on many platforms.

2. Tokens, Market analysis

The oldest Token, ETH, witnessed a similar fate to that of Coins.

Starting from April, where it started at $360, the market went bullish with two highs, reaching a maximum of $820, before entering a bear market and losing all the previously accumulated value.

In the current bearish market, the question lies in how to prevent your stored value from depreciating, rather than focusing on earning more, as prices of both Coins and Tokens are volatile.

3. Tokens for preservation, Coins for arbitrage?

In today’s markets, a variety of triangular arbitrages models are employed to keep assets stable and make money. The common elements of most of those Arbitrages models is their use of Tokens with a stable market to store and preserve value, and their use of arbitrage in the more volatile Coins market.

Of course, not everyone invests in Tokens. Should the market go bullish, Coin believers may become millionaires or even billionaires as their assets value can multiply without even actively speculating. These gains could, however, still be increased with the use of good speculative skills.
