I think that this time there is previous history to fall back on. The first time that everything fell people thought the game was up and that all their profits had been lost. Some people stuck it out but probably because they could afford to take the hit or really believed in crypto.
This time there is history to fall back on as well as a lot more money backing the system and a belief in the future. So i think that the main difference now is that the same level of fear hasn't permeated the investors. While the mainstream media is spreading fud in all corners the people who are involved are actually just saying to hold and watch for the upswing.
