I think that the bull market will come when everyone stops waiting for growth. It will happen in about 1-2 years.
The last major bear market was 14 months and there was much less going on in the space then. Given we are already 8 months in, I would be amazed if it lasted another year, let alone 2.
Yes, we have to find the real value, market is in a consolidation phase, everything is preparing, updates, investors - everything is coming, but this progress is slow so that is why crypto investments are long term.
