Bitcoins under $6k is not a bad news, it was a very good value for people who wants to earn cryptocurrency today because in this way they can invest while the market price is currently dumping
That's right, it all depends on when you 'bought in' or started mining. I mean compared to all time highs in December 2017, Bitcoin has dropped 50 per cent. But compared to a little over a year ago it is still more than double.
So you're right - how much it impacts you depends on when you started being involved in crypto. I wrote an article about this recently, with a graph of how the top 50 coins have performed over the last 6 months:

The value is still low and encouraging people to take the ways straight towards itself for investment because one can get a lot of Bitcoin on low amount and this collection of the Bitcoins will benefit in a high market. The benefit at the end depends upon the quantity of coins so collect according to your ability.
