Indeed! All the people who complain about a bear market seem to forget that we made about 100% last year! If that's a bear market in crypto, then I wonder how we'd call it if BTC only appreciates 20% this year 😉 If my stocks did that this year, I would be a happy man!
Looks like many beginners expect a continuous bull run, instead of a YoY climb (or decline, also possible of course).
Any thing, a decline or a bull trend could happen in this year 2020, basically some says the past could influence the market price but with the latest bitcoin halving that will occur, we are still uncertain what could be the price of bitcoin could be. But one thing I am sure of, is that, for the past years, bitcoin is becoming the best investment platform in terms of ROI or the return of investment it could give from its investors even if they are newbies or not.
