OP is spot on.  Never ceases to surprise me how and why people can expect a kind of non-stop, indefinite bull run.   Bear markets is essentially a fundamental part of the cycle.   More so in crypto because it still is in its infancy, despite the fact its been going on for a while.  The fact its not widely adopted yet or that the apples, the amazons or silicon valley folks of this world haven't adopted it means a much more slower evolution of blockchain tech, consequently the viability or feasibility.   I have read many horror stories of folks who have lost their homes, investing in bitcoin with quick returns of huge profits.  This attitude has to change.
