Before the bubble I play with caution, inside the bubble, I free myself more, I have more concentration and patience

The best strategy is to do everything to get to the prize zone. But, of course, this does not mean that you need to fold all the hands :)

When you're close to the bubble, don't venture out unless you know 100% that you're leading with your hand and over the river, and after entering the bubble if you have an ok stack, I suggest a lot of patience, opportunities will arise to have move forward, if your stack is running out you have to make big waves with hands that looked weak before 😀 just don't abuse it because you're getting yourself out.

I think, if You have less chips on bubble, than your opponents for the table, then the best desicion, by my opinion, will less your "body movements":
this means patiently to wait of prize zone, and play only at last resort, beacuse on bubble You can to lose with any hand...

It depends on your stack size.

Since almost everybody is afraid to get eliminated just before the money the big stacks can often bully the medium to relatively small stacks. But if the really small stacks know that it can be difficult to fold into the money they should gamble with a wider range.

If i have a big stack, i will bet big and bully the small stack every opportunity i get.
If i have a small stack, ill play more tight and cautious till i reach itm.

My best strategy is to steal chips and play from the card.

Depending on the stack size and aggressiveness of the players, try to steal the pot and especially the blinds. In particular, the players who let the time run out attack, as they try to fold themselves into the money.

It depends. How much is at risk. If making the money is meaningful play for that. If the money bubble is peanuts fight for more chips.
I all depends on stack size too. Making the FT with no chips is meaningless.
