Not a flippant reply but it really depends what time of what day you ask me.
To polarise your opinion into bullish or bearish is impossible for some and foolish for others.
That said, I wouldn't be holding BTC if I wasn't mid to long-term bullish.
If I was bearish I'd be holding more fiat or other altcoins than I do.
If I was REALLY bearish I'd not have a cent on any exchange.
I think a resource based economy is still far away, and I'm not sure how bitcoin will get us there, but I do believe bitcoin could be a big step forward from where we are now at least. I like how it is a movement created from the bottom up, and how it can challenge the status quo in a non-violent manner. That's a big reason why I want to be a part of this, I'm an ideological bitcoin enthousiast who isn't scared to lose money over it as long as it achieves its goal of freeing us from the shackles of the current destructive economic paradigm. I learned about bitcoin in 2012 when I was doing research into the global economy but didn't really try to understand the concept of bitcoin seriously until it suddenly gained value quickly this year and I saw it climb above $40. I almost wanted to panic buy at that point but I decided I needed to learn more about it first and I was also worried this could be a bubble that was about to pop. After becoming really enthousiastic about it I wanted to wait for the price to come down first but then decided to buy anyway since I'm in it for my ideals and not for the money. Lost quite some value when the big correction took place but didn't panic and just bought some more coins between $50 and $70. Now I'm usually between 70/30 and all in on BTC/fiat, I prefer to just purchase more coins when the price drops instead of selling high and hoping it goes down again. I just can't feel comfortable for some reason being bearish about bitcoin. This is my bias I know, but that's fine because I'm not a serious trader anyway.
