I'm already plus and I have no reason to be broken even if by 2019 we will fluctuate between 6,000 and 7,000. The growth will be, just everyone will begin to invest more strongly in altcoins and new projects to earn and there will be no such volatility in bitcoin.
The truth is that almost everyone should be breaking even, only those that invested in cryptocurrencies when the market was clearly overvalued and those that sold their coins because they thought the market will crash are the ones losing money, everyone else should have profits or as you said at least breaking even and if they are not then that is their fault for making those mistakes.
