Next year? or next two years? or when the halving comes.
Don't be so bored with the market, its testing your patience.
Yup! I also expected for bitcoin to make a bull run next year, This year will be bearish and considered to be a slow pace in the movement of bitcoin, Well a lot on the Crypto market will be on the same movement as bitcoin so nothing will be great at the time being, But in my opinion the price right now is considerably better than in the past value bitcoin have, And like what you have said we need to have the patient to wait and be on guard when that time comes!
Consider that this year is going to be the year for the bear but we can't also deny that the next years will come for the bull to get in.
There's a reason why its not yet moving upward and as I've said, this is testing the patience of most.
I think it will take long time because the gap is big and to cover this gap bitcoin will have long way to go. Nobody tells the exact time when will the price reach to $20k, but it is clear that in the future the price will grow more and investors will make huge profits against their investment in bitcoin. Now the price is increasing normally and it is the reason that it will take long time.
