Looking at the present state of the market, it could be very disheartening. But one thing is certain is that blockchain technology has come to change our society. And Crytocurrency which runs on the blockchain will continue to wax stronger and stronger, stay above fear. Life surely goes on with or without the enemies of crypto.
Yeah, and when i look at the present state of my portfolio its the same, very disheartening. And right, life goes on. i still love crypto even though i lost alot of capital in this market.
You will make it back, believe me. BTC will remain in the downtrend for a couple months, but eventually it's going to bounce back and reach for the stars

Every single asset has its bull and bear markets, you just don't see it that often in the stock market, because the sentiment changes once every 5 years, sometimes you have to wait much longer. In crypto everything happens much faster and you usually are in another cycle every 2 years. For instance the whole 2013 was a bull market, 2014 and 15 were bearish, 2016 and 17 were bullish again, 2018 is bearish...
