It depends. If you're just a no-skiller with a get rich quick motivation, then your options are very limited. All other people know how to benefit from this market in various aspects, and for that reason chase stable income.

It's mostly only the noobs that get hyped up when the price is going up or down. All others remain calm and see that the market going down offers opportunities, and for that reason isn't something negative.

In other words, if you don't know what you're doing, money is indeed hard to earn. If you know what you are doing, and thus have various options to benefit from in this market, you'll be doing fine all the time.
