If you are among people that start trading, or investing in cryptocurrency from 2016, you shouldn't be complaining of been rekt. You should have make more than 100% of your capital investment before now. So many people makes x20, x50 of their each trading during those periods, because we saw unbelievable pumps then that made peeps money.
I can remember then turning 150k to over 850 under a month, that's how juicy those periods are.
When i see how much I've achieved compare with what I started with, I always be glad because I started nearly with nothing.... That has been my console and everybody that started from 2016.
So, forget about this bear period be glad with what you have achieved with cryptocurrency.
Hey it seems you're mistaken when you say people who invested in 2016 are complaining, as far I see all those who have been complaining are people who bought it when it was at it's peak i.e. 20k. These guys have every right to complain, but at the end they need to hodl it. Indeed the period from November 2016 to December 2017 will be remembered as the golden period in bitcoins history. I'll agree there's nothing one can do about prices, instead one should enjoy what they have, and if you see current charts it looks like prices are already shooting up, now let's hope the bulls phase begins.
