In 2013 we had a bull run but at that time bitcoin was not known to me. I myself saw the 2017 bitcoin bull run and then we had a massive altcoin bull run. We were expecting the same to happen in 2021 but it did not happen. Some people say that bull run is delayed and some say that next bull run will be after the next halving in 2024.
Don't bother about 2013 because like you we have no idea what is Bitcoin or even crypto market so we are not part of that era, what we need now is the present and tomorrow because other than that we must be active and starts investing and accumulating because we knew what is the capacity of this currency .
I sometimes think that bitcoin and crypto market are now matured and we may not see extended bull or bear runs. Bitcoin will reach a hunderd thousand dollars or more but it won't be a parabolic move. What are your thoughts on this ?
Maturity is already there, for 13 years of existence ? (of Bitcoin of course) i believe that this market is getting mature more each day so yes let it be there.
