Not going to lie, falling from $109,000 to $78,000 was rather unsettling, for me at least. I know we’ve HODLED through similar and even worse corrections in previous bull markets, percentage wise. But for me, it feels a lot worse when you’re watching your net worth dump by so much money. The money involved now is so much more than it was when our coins were losing $40 each per day or something at the same % dip as we saw from $109,000 to $78,000.
Exactly this! Seeing your net worth (FIAT-wise) decrease drastically feels the worst this cycle. But don't forget 1BTC=1BTC. 

watching a wallet drop from $218000 to $156000 hurts.

but

watching eggs go from $1.39 to $10.00
watching lamb roast go from $39 to $67
watching lamb steaks go from $12 to $20

watching a loaf of bread go from $2 to $5

watching my garbage pickup go from $250 a year to $1500 a year.

watching my house insurance go from $500 to $1200
watching my car insurance go from $1000 to $3000 no claims in 30 years

is way more frightening and depressing.
