The last bear market was the toughest by far. Brought me to my knees on more than one occasion. $69K highs to the teens. I was still stacking hard but man it was not an easy time to be a “bitcoiner”.
I feel zero guilt for this bull run. I always saw it as my own startup business. Talk to anyone who starts a business & they make sure to remind you of the hardest times & near bankruptcy. Nobody really sees that though. They only focus on the success. “Well you made it so now tell me how to do it”
