We have seen a massive surge in bitcoin price since we enter into 2021 almost same, trend happen in 2017-2018, only there is a big difference, in a situation today before, I think it was just a pump, but there is a big difference in this year's price rally things that are notable are the following, the influence of Elon musk, Visa considers to enter to cryptocurrency, Paypal decided to open to cryptocurrency, banks, and other institutions open its door to the possibility of using it, suddenly this year pandemic helps cryptocurrency get into the spotlight in the positive note, although there is still negativity being thrown, I think most institution study it and they realize the possibilities and important of blockchain overall.
Bitcoin before was nothing compared to what it is right now and even the pump that occured last 2017. Though things might end up the same way or maybe bitcoin will fall harder than before, still we cannot deny the fact that this bull run is a really special one. We've only expected it to reach $20k or a bit higher than that but all of a sudden, it's getting nearer and nearer to $100k. I was already in crypto during the bull run of year 2017 and 2018 and I gained lots of profits from that, too bad I don't have much holding right when the value is much more higher than the all time high before. Consistency and patience is really important in bitcoin, cause only through that you can experience massive benefits from it.
