It is not saddening unless you want to make it a saddening thing for you. It is the market, and there will always be a cycle, altcoins have reduced hugely to their historical prices and it is a good time to start buying them now. In this case, you have nothing to lose and you can easily hold for as long as you can. Who does not want second chance? It is just a pity that even though this market is giving a second chance, some people will still end up blowing it away and not taking advantage of it, and in that case, that is when it would be saddening.
