Thanks for your nice post.
I'm still quite new to cryptocurrencies and also invested some money in Ether a few weeks ago.
Also think it will go up again and people shouldn't panic.
I Believe in the product itself, so I will invest long term in it.
What most people don't understand, especially newbies, which thankfully you do, is that the only way to really lose money in a market is to panic and sell. Unless something completely dies it will go back up. The stocks always have operated this way, as will crypto (and has btc).
