You've been in crypto for awhile you must be up handsomely no? Besides people forget crypto was never about making a dollar in fiat terms, the price appreciation over time is a subsequent function of sound money relative to other currencies, and normies who don't know any better FOMO in all at once as soon as they see number go up.
im not complaining myself, but like many noobs this time around, I too, took some arrows to the knees, mostly to ignorance. that's the only thing im pointing out.
