Collateral + Deposit Bitcoin Strategy for Bear Markets

I keep part of my position posted as collateral and place another portion in a deposit, only touching the deposit if the situation turns bad. This lets me preserve liquidity and avoid forced liquidations while keeping exposure to Bitcoin (BTC).

I believe this approach is especially effective in a bear market when traders are burying Bitcoin and miners start to shut down — credit rates (% on loans) often fall in those conditions, and there may not be much further downside to the market.
