For those that lived through previous bear markets, how were you rewarded in the bull afterwards?

What sort of % gains did you see? Did you make life changing gains, or at least made your finances a lot more secure? Which coins did you stack during bear, and did all of them give you profit? Were you mostly in BTC? Also feel free to share anything else that you think might be interesting to all of us who are going through first bear.

I know these questions have been asked a lot, but its always good to hear about people that made it. It's been a long winter so far and a little bit of hopium never hurts.
