What is sad about that story? The basic facts about investments are that they can go down as well as up so you need to be prepared to act accordingly in all situations. What you have under $200 is a bonus opportunity to purchase some cheap Ethereum, what you should have been doing when it was continually dropping was selling some or all and transferring it into FIAT or USDT as a hedge.
If we do have hope in Ethereum then there's nothing to be sad still, its just a cycle soon it will rise again without us noticing it so dont be sad at all ethereum will have its time again.
