Very true. The thing that sort of blew me away in 2017 is that some of the people that ended up the best off were the people who showed up half way through the year and threw money at it instead of the people who got their teeth knocked out through the years. At the end of the day it is all about timing about unfortunately almost no one can support themselves off of "earnings" in the crypto market during these downturns. Miners can't profit hardly, content creators just have to rely on affiliate commissions to leveraged trading platforms and ponzi DAPPs , or people ride it out on past success.....etc. Very strange for a technology that has such promise.
