Stop acting like a scared child. If you cant handle the down trend of the market then you dont deserve the green days in the market. Go out here in cryptoworld.
Staying away from the market if done as part of a strategy is completely valid, but if the person is doing this because he is scared about what is happening then you are right, he's afraid and as such he is not going to be able to make the moves that are necessary to make money in this market, people need to understand that if you become a trader you are going to lose money but as long as you earn more than what you lose then you are doing fine.
