Some may have been given up but there are still loyal investors who are not leaving crypto. That's because they were able to earn in the past and still believe that crypto is here to stay. I also believe that digital currency will continue to be lucrative in the future.
This is merely part of the game. Even how much the price of bitcoin goes down, those who know and believe won't leave. It is understandable, that there are low points in the market, even if it is done by whales or not. Those who understand believes that the price of btc will be uphill once again.
I also think that some will be replaced by others and there are enough investors who will hold to the end because they know that after the fall, growth will begin.
