In a bull market full of glory, participants become the focus of attention in a bear market. Early movers are seen as visionaries, while latecomers chasing the high are viewed as harvesting the leeks. This is the harsh truth of the crypto market: a complete zero-sum game. Your gains are someone else's losses, and vice versa. There is no middle ground, no fairy tale of win-win. The winner takes all, and the losers are out. In this brutal game, tears won't change the outcome.
