I guess you do not believe that all the cryptocurrencies have equal chances in the future.
Will you bet for or against some cryptocurrencies ?
All I can say for myself is that I use certain cryptocurrencies in order to increase the amount I have of other cryptocurrencies. The ones I play the shorting game with are very obvious scams or most likely will not make the cut because of whatever "x" reason. In that sense, I am helping other coins by reinvesting profits from one coin to another coin which I see as having a future anchored in reality.
Either way, it's a lesson learned, and was the right decision at the time based on the knowledge at the time, so there shouldn't be regret as no one can easily predict the top or bottom. In the next bull run they won't make the same decisions again hopefully.
This is a good way of thinking, this point of view is good for mental health.
