Year 2018 seems to have the most prolonged dip from what i have seen so far. Some people had serious loss along the line; some vowed never to invest in cryptocurrency again; some sold all their assets and left.
Your encounters though might seem not encouraging, but do you know that you are better of than the person that is just coming in, because of what you now know.
Let go of your mistakes, but whenever you remember them, tell yourself it is not yet over, the crypto space will still get better and you will be glad you're still in the system.
I am glad that I met such a person in spirit. You should never give up if something goes wrong. I started a year and a half ago. Success was not long in coming. But this summer I began to experience difficulties, which pushed me to start developing in this area further. I left some of my savings to approach the topic of cryptocurrencies with a new mind. I have confidence in the prospects of this sphere and I decided to devote the next few years to it. Friends, be cool with finances and they will give you what you are aiming for.
