We are talking about bearish because that's what we feel in more than a year already.
You are lucky if you are experiencing a bullish market because that simply means you are profitable.
Though we can't generalize as there are people who make money in any market situation but it's noticeable that majority are hoping for a market improvement.
We're all in the same market. Look at the charts, Bitcoin is up quite a bit over the last year. So, even coins that are trading for a little less Satoshi value than they were last year are actually worth more or about the same as they were in USD. I'm not sure what projects you're in, but the ones that I have invested in are worth more than they were when I got in last year. I just don't see how you could lose money in a 100+% year.
