Bear Market Stories

I’d like to hear from people who are going through their second, third or fourth bear market and what it was like back then? Right now everyone is saying that this time it’s different, this time a real crypto winter is going to come along and stay for a few years. I’d like to hear what it was like when the market crashed in the previous years and what did you do with your funds and if you were experienced already or fought with yourself, considering selling it all to cut the losses? Right now it just feels like throwing money down the drain. It stings, but i want to believe (Agent Mulder Style) that the bull is gonna come riding in and everything’s going to pay off in the end. But who knows? Would like to hear some stories how you dealt with the anxiety and what it was like to get back in the green and what were your takeaway points from this experience? Thanks!
