6 Ways to Sell Dogecoin in Nigeria Legally and at the Best Rates

May 29, 2025

Crypto market? Cryptocurrency is often called the wild west of finance – fast, unpredictable, and full of opportunity. One day, Bitcoin is soaring; the next, it’s dropping.

But here’s the thing: these cycles aren’t random. In fact, they closely mirror traditional economic cycles, as described by hedge fund legend Ray Dalio.

Understanding these patterns is the key to turning crypto’s chaos into long-term gains. Let’s break it down.

Market cycles: the Boom, the Bust, and the Comeback

Every financial market – stocks, real estate, and yes, crypto – moves in cycles. Here’s how they typically unfold:

  1. Accumulation Phase: Prices are at rock bottom. Smart investors quietly buy in while everyone else panics.
  2. Bull Market: Enthusiasm grows, prices soar, and FOMO (fear of missing out) takes over. Even your uncle starts asking about Bitcoin.
  3. Distribution Phase: Early investors cash out, prices become unstable, and uncertainty creeps in.
  4. Bear Market: The hype dies down, prices drop, and weak hands sell at a loss. But this is where smart money gets back in.

Sounds familiar? Crypto follows this same rhythm – just at turbo speed.

Why crypto moves differently (and faster) than traditional markets

Unlike the stock market, which is influenced by earnings reports and interest rates, crypto is shaped by:

  • Investor Sentiment: Social media hype can send prices soaring (or crashing).
  • Technological Innovation: New developments in blockchain can trigger bull runs.
  • Regulatory News: A government crackdown? Prices tumble. A pro-crypto policy? The market rallies.
  • Liquidity and Leverage: More trading, more volatility. When leverage is too high, markets correct fast.

In 2021 Bitcoin dropped by over 50% when China banned crypto mining. But within months, it rebounded as adoption grew elsewhere. Savvy crypto users are able to track what’s happening in one part of the world and establish correlation with other markets.

Timing the market? Good luck. Understanding Cycles? Now That’s Smart.

Trying to buy at the lowest point and sell at the peak? Nearly impossible. Even the pros don’t get it right every time.

What works? Recognizing the signs of each phase:

  • Bear Markets = Buying opportunities (when everyone else is scared – check crypto fear and greed index)
  • Bull Markets = Smart profit-taking (before euphoria turns into a crash).

The key? Long-term thinking. The S&P 500’s average annual return is around 10%. Bitcoin’s 10-year return? A mind-blowing 1,576%. Even after downturns, crypto has consistently rebounded faster than traditional assets.

Stablecoins: your secret weapon against volatility

For those who want to stay in crypto but avoid wild swings, stablecoins offer a solid middle ground. These digital assets are pegged to stable currencies (like the US dollar), providing:

  • Financial stability in regions with currency devaluation.
  • Lower remittance costs – traditional services charge up to 8%, while stablecoin transfers cost cents.
  • Fast, borderless transactions without banks or restrictions.

Stablecoins such as USDT can provide a safe way to store value in countries where currency devaluation is a real concern.

Big players are getting in – should you?

The days of crypto being a niche asset are over. Major institutions are now fully engaged:

  • MicroStrategy, Tesla and BlackRock hold billions in dollars. MicroStrategy holds over $27b, Tesla holds over $1.076b and BlackRock owns about $56b.
  • PayPal and Visa now support stablecoin payments
  • Central banks are exploring digital currencies

If the biggest names in finance are taking crypto seriously, it’s not just speculation – it’s the future.

The winning strategy: stay calm, stay invested

The crypto market will always be volatile, but that’s not a bad thing. For those who: ✅ Understand market cycles ✅ Use stablecoins for stability ✅ Avoid panic-selling ✅ Think long-term.

Recognizing market cycles, leveraging stablecoins for stability, and understanding the broader macroeconomic landscape all contribute to a well-rounded investment approach. The rewards can be massive.

Cryptocurrency isn’t just a trend – it’s reshaping global finance. Those who stay the course will not only survive the volatility but thrive in it.
