That's exactly right, I think most of us knew the risks and accepted that when we made the conscious decision to get into this game. I've been involved with Bitcoin- buying, selling, trading- since 2011 (and I know that I was one of the people who was actually late to the party, so to speak). I've seen extreme highs and extreme lows. I still remember the panic in late 2013/early 2014 when the Mt. Gox drama happened and the price plummeted more than (I think? I don't remember the exact figures without going back to the chart) 75% in a VERY short time span. What people need to keep in mind is that despite all the red in the chart- let's go back and look at where the market was just half a year ago, shall we? We're still up SIGNIFICANTLY from that point. Not only BTC but the entire overall Market Cap. This is just another dip, and the rewards will come to those with the patience to hodl, and the insight to do their own research and invest in currencies based on their actual potential and value, rather than just on the way the prices on the chart look. Cryptocurrency may be hitting some speedbumps along the way, but DO NOT DOUBT- cryptocurrency as a whole is gaining momentum with each passing month and drawing more and more public interest which will inevitably lead to more investors and more money flooding into the market. So just hold tight everyone, this is just another storm that we can weather, and blue skies are ahead in the forecast. ;)
