What if the big bull run doesn't happen?

[Lucius]

Let's not pretend too much about some things, the majority "love" BTC because they believe it will bring them profit, the few appreciate it because it is a cryptocurrency with which they can make transactions anytime and with anyone.

What everyone expects to happen in the year of the halving is a big bull run that, if nothing else, will at least double the price of BTC, and somehow most people take that for granted - but the real question is how will people react if something like that doesn't happen?

 I'd be disappointed. What is seemingly a good time to invest because the year is a halving year turned out to be a no profit year. Just thinking about how much time wasted when I could have just invest in gold because its price is more profitable.

When somebody said this election is all about crypto, I thought price could go up because of it. So we still have about few months to find out.

Disappointment is pretty normal to us already when it comes to btc prices. I can't even count how i be one of them. But that's it, selling all my holdings is not an option as well, i will still put a remainder in my wallet.

Well, thinking of price that will go double isn't imaginable yet in my part, but i expect at least quarter of it or at least at 80k-90k range.

[_act_]

I do not know if the bull run is going to be big or mild but I definitely know that bitcoin will get to all-time high. It is also still possible that bitcoin will get to over $100 thousand. 2025 will still be for bulls but the bear market may start in late 2025.

Tons of people would really be that disappointed or simply the entire crypto community if there would really be no bull run that would happen into this cycle.
We are all anticipating for such bull run, if it turns out that there's none and we would be directly having that sideways movement or having that another bearish market
then i wont really be that surprised that there would really be tons that would be leaving out or would hop into other markets and would leave out crypto for sure.

Yeah, just like you, I've spent a lot of time analyzing the market and preparing a very detailed plan to make big profits in the bullrun. It would be a shame if the bullrun doesn't come and BTC can't surpass $100K in this cycle. If BTC doesn't continue to create a new ATH above $74K, but continues to move sideways and decline in 2026, I will sell all my crypto assets to have USDT for the DCA strategy in the next crypto winter.

However, I still have high hopes for the bullrun and the impressive growth of BTC and many ALTS in the crypto market. That is the most likely scenario to attract new investors and capital, helping whales to take profits in the distribution zone. If the bullrun doesn't happen, whales won't be able to make big profits after putting a lot of effort into manipulating the market.

Hmm, for me, it does matter and it doesn't too, it is not like I have all my funds in crypto and these are the funds only I have to survive I cant bear the loss and the bull run is super urgent for me, i can wait for another cycle but I'l expect a decent return at that time as if it still performs average what's the use of choosing a volatile & maturing market.

Waiitng is not a problem, but for sure if in this cycle it doest happen I'll be disappointed and will be more conscious before making more entries, as nothing is promised everything is speculation and based on potential.

I wen with "I will not sell anything more than what I need"

Regarding the question in OP, nothing much will change for me as I certainly won't get rid off bitcoin or sell any significant amount (unless I am aboslutely foced to due life circumstances). Having said that, of course I will be a little bit disappointed as I had some plans if bitcoin reaches 100k+ but that's nothing that can't wait another cycle.

Honestly, I won't care too much because I'm already pessimistic about the future, if it beats by a considerable margin average stock gains and obviously inflation it would still be good for me.  But there will be a lot of opium and denial around, can't wait to see the theories about how evil organizations are manipulating the price and so on, to be honest, a part of me wants that just once instead of a bullish year to have bearish one so we can see the true faces of those believers!

as usual i will sell my assets if i need them later if the bullrun is canceled for the 2025 bullrun session
even though i am disappointed but what can i do because no one can determine market movements. even if it is a big whale

This actually doesn't apply to me since I am selling my Bitcoin portions due to the fact that I have no other source of income but if I had to pretend that I had enough then not selling my holdings will give me higher chance to make good profit when bullrun will happen again. The only problem for us ordinary Bitcoiners is that we tend to sell most of our holdings when needed.

Hmm, Interesting kind of same thoughts but in the direction of holding most of my assets, as I dont need most of them currently, by the way, that's a fact even a billionaire cant change anything in the market, he can manipulate for a short interval of time but the ending is un-controlled. So be conscious always my fellows dont follow the lust and greed of money stay in the realistic zone.

[Wiseman]

I have stepped over this moment with disappointment by not holding on to one asset for years, including Bitcoin, I buy and sell it and do this many times, of course, this is not suitable for everyone, but for those who are engaged in trading or are more deeply dedicated to cryptocurrencies, but still, if you earn cryptocurrency, you do not need to put it aside, you can still increase it with the help of trading.

no one can say that though it’s not like someone is controlling the bull run and he can decide whether to make it happen or not it can’t be just ‘canceled’ and even if the cycle does not repeat itself this year, no one will know until it’s too late no one gets a warning or anything of some sort

even though i am disappointed but what can i do because no one can determine market movements. even if it is a big whale

i think you would get more losses if you try to sell your holdings when the price is going down what if it goes up again? will you try to buy at a higher price? for me i’m just going to keep trusting bitcoin

After the halving occurred the price looked weaker and nothing major happened, it was just close to the last ATH price but was not able to reach the new ATH or at the ATH target most people is $100k++.

It's a little disappointing if the big bull run really doesn't happen, but anything can happen in crypto. When the majority of holders are already disbelieving and pessimistic that a big bull run will not happen, that is where the opportunity for a bullrun begins. 

However, I will still hold and collect as many Bitcoins as I can, put in my bag as well as some of the top altcoins. 

This is my reaction and not necessarily the reaction I have will be the same as everyone else, but this time I will not miss the opportunity to buy more bitcoin before the big bullrun happens.
