She pointed out the irrational exuberance of bull markets invariably attracts bad actors preying on the vulnerable.
Monahan believes the time for accumulation has now passed and pushed for users to put 90-95% of their crypto assets into cold storage.
Monahan also stressed restraint and pointed out that people who "Take on huge debt to get crypto" will not win, but will " lose their house, their kids' savings.

If you're a fan of podcaster Anthony Pompliano, you will be familiar with his frequently reposted advice for what to do in a bull run.
Some users believe the advice is a jinx, as every time he posts it the market appears to turn bearish.
