People holding stocks may never see ATH either, it’s the risk we take for the mental construct we believe in.
History says they probably will, as long as they hold a diverse portfolio.
Unfortunately crypto has become just a leveraged bet on the stock market and has lost much of its uncorrelated asset status. If the stock market recovers, crypto recovers even harder. Ethereum price is like a higher leverage TQQQ if you check the charts. I liked it better when it was uncorrelated.
