Is there anything more painful than entering the altcoin market in their absolute lows and riding the wave and HODLing all the way down?

I have a few shitcoins that did 10-20x, and now worth cents. Or less.

I can never forget the time in 2017 when altcoins that were doing 3-5x were considered bad returns. LOl. People on crypto twitter were like if it is less than 10x, it's not worth investing.

How time changes. Now a 20-30% pump in a random coin grows hope of a bull market. Everyone starts predicting coins that would pump massively.

Well, if nothing else, it has taught me several financial lessons. Good times ahead.
