The current BTC price is going to touch the $13000 but this price surge doesn't mean it is a bull market. It is too early to call it a bull trend for the obvious reasons, there are no fundamental reasons to look for the bull market signs. During the 2017 bull market, everything was new and people have kept buying cryptocurrencies because of the lack of knowledge about the crypto industry, they had one reason: to jump the bandwagon.
I agree with you. There were too many people affected by the FOMO during 2017 when everything was new and attractive. The situation right now is not the same as it used to be in the past. People are more aware and lose their belief in bitcoin. I think it is good because it will make those people who only care about money while investing coins stay away from the community. We dont need those kinds of people.
However, from my perspective, there have been many companies, firms, corporations and rich people pay their attention to this digital asset. Many have shifted from traditional investment into cryptocurrencies because of the high potential profit, new technologies and a variety of benefits. Therefore, if everything goes well, we can easily observe another bull which totally different from what we have witnessed in 2017.
