I think it's easier for those of us who invested early, not because we've seen the ups and downs many times already, but because a lot of us early adopters (notice how I didn't use the word speculators) were believers in the technology, the reason for the technology needing to exist, and the financial situation the first world might find itself in a few years.
For those that invested for the reasons stated above, it's looking more and more like we're going to need this technology more moving forward, so when speculators looking to make a quick buck (and by quick I'm talking about less than 5 years for a return by traditional standards) just remember that it's not about the quick buck, it's about carrying a technology forward that the world is going to need. I'm looking at you, bitcoin and the lightning network..
