Many people moan because many people have lost an incredible amount. Imagine buying Bitcoin at 18k and then lose over half of it? You would also spend a lot of mental energy thinking about the future and when it's going to go up.

They were unfortunate enough to have gotten swept up in all the hype although there were plenty who bought at the last bubble in 2014 but held through the downtrend and ended up benefiting from this one

Smart money comes in when the price is near the bottom not whilst the market is over inflated

But even those who bought at the previous all time high (December 2013) and held would had moaned for a long time, because there's no way for them to be certain of the future. It too almost 4 years for them to recoup their money in 2017.

Imagine if you bought at $20,000 and I told you that it's ok, it will get back there in 4 years. You would actually moan less because at least you have certainty. People who bough at $20,000 don't.
