Famous last words.  A bear market will come but the question is from what level.  1250, 5000, 10000, 100000.  An 80% decline from 10000 is 2000, higher than the current price.  A 90% decline from 100000 is 10000, almost 10x the current price.

Also some people believe it can go far but can take several price dips on the way up; so they try to use that opportunity to increase their Bitcoin holdings.

True, some wins BTC, some looses BTC along the road.

Isn`t it a classic bear indicator when people start believing that a bubble isn`t going to crash anymore?

You`re right that some people believe bitcoin will keep rising and eventually be used as a legitimate currency. But most of those people are active on bitcointalk and reddit, and likely constitute a small fraction of total investors at this point. Most are just waiting for a healthy return, and once they feel the buy support shrinking or if some other catalyst comes along they will run for the exits. It will be a Chinese fire drill when that happens.
Ehhh... :\

People aren't going to sell - they'll instead buy with bitcoin and save on tax fees/etc.
Thoughts?

People are getting into bitcoin because they believe it can go far and be used as a currency.
Whenever it crashes, people quickly buy back.
