I always thought the bear market I experienced after entering the tail end of the 2017 bull run was the worst period I encountered, but I genuinely think the past year or so has been worse experience-wise.

I guess that would have been different if I had been less of an altcoin maxi, but it is what it is. Time-based capitulation is real, especially with alts never seeming to catch a break. Every small retrace on bitcoin gets followed with a multifold correction on alts and we're nowhere near ATHs while bitcoin is sitting comfy.

Anyway, two options: either you give up or you persevere until better days arrive. I know which option I choose.
