It's just rough for the people that put money in near the top, and it limits attention. People only talk about BTC when the price is going up, at least people not yet in the space.
I'm absolutely bullsih on crypto in general for the long term, I bet it starts picking up again as we near summer, but we really need some good news, some working products, and some adoption, whether from people or from companies using the blockchain. SMT's could be big for the whole cryptocurrency space
