Which bullrun has been the most profitable since the beginning of crypto

[Thenticity]

I wasn’t really active untill 2019 and crypto and blockchains have existed way before that.

My first bullrun experience was 2020 and to me no bullrun is yet to topple its record since then. This cycle looks promising but unless it lasts longer, I do not think it is still going to break that record.

What do you think?

It's 2017, I here when that happens, and so it's from $1k to almost $20k in December, with the whole ICO boom and then airdrops and then CME and CBOE entering offering Bitcoin future contracts.

And if my number is right that will be around 1900% right?

If my memory serves me right, the next bull run is around $8k-$60k'ish, so that's around 700%.

Are you referring to the general crypto market or a token?

That's a good point.

You can even get a highly profitable portfolio in a bear market , as all you need to have profit is an allocation in a good token that will skyrocket.

However, in general, there was much more volatility in past cycles, so past cycles are more profitable in general.

For example, em 2016 bitcoin was $500 and it reached $20k in 2018 (40x).
In 2018 it reached 4k and it moved to 60k in 2021 (20x only), and now it moved from 16k to 100 (only 6x)

During 2016, the price of BTC was around $400 (if I remember correctly at the time of the halving), and by the end of the year it increased to $1000, and then finally stopped at around $20k at the end of 2017. So we can say that that bull run ended with x50, which caused great media interest and put BTC in the spotlight.

In 2018 the price fell to only around $3000 and the next bull run stopped at $69k - and now it all depends on whether you look at the price relative to the last ATH or the lowest it touched in the last cycle.

The most profitable was to buy BTC while it was still worth a few $, or to mine at least one block of 50 BTC while it was still possible with an ordinary computer.

A lot of those users who have been around since 2016 always remember the ICO time where even the bounty hunters are making $100k and above at the peak of bull market.

The altcoin market wasn't that good after that time. It's like people have learned a lot to avoid altcoins because of how bad it turned out in the bear market.

A crypto bull run represents a period in the crypto market when crypto prices rise and investors become more optimistic. The primary highlight of the crypto bull run is the entry of new investors and increased trading volume. This issue is ongoing and the number of new members in the crypto is constantly increasing with the increase in the price of bitcoin. Each crypto bull run prediction will focus on important characteristics of a bull run such as rising prices, investor optimism and increasing trading volume. ICO gained momentum during the crypto bull run in 2017 and invited more media coverage for cryptocurrency.

If there’s a bear run after a bear market and vice versa, surely they’ll always be a bull market. Isn’t that how the cycle works?

Also about altcoins, I myself am very cautious when I deal with them. Right now, I only invest in an Altcoin that has real utility.

I believe the most profitable bull in the history of Bitcoin can be dated back to 2017, During January Bitcoin was just around $1,100, but when the bull run started, the price of Bitcoin magically skyrocketed to a new ATH of almost around $20k in December same year. I think what fueled this remarkable growth was the launch of Bitcoin futures by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and that was also the year that the first Bitcoin ETF was introduced. I think that has been the highest so far till date.

What do you think?

I am sure that you know about the word "early investor". Early investors are those who have invested in a coin i.e. cryptocurrency since its starting and are currently making huge profits.
What I understand from these things is that the initial journey of each coin is not comparable to its future journey like in todays, as already mentioned by Bitmover, after 2016, Bitcoin made about 40x profit in the 2018 bull season and then 20x in 2021. And speaking of now, the maximum we can see is 8x in this bull season.
So definitely 2018 was the most profitable ever and I don't think that it will happen again in the future.

Nice comparison bitmover 
I remember in 2017 when I started mining ETH
I'll also cite 2017 as the best bull run because everything was profitable
I bough a lot of GPUs and in a few months they were paid with the money of ETH
You could buy almost any coin and the next day you were in profit

However, it was my first cycle and I practically didn't sell anything, so I ended 2018 with a bag of coins that had devalued by almost 90% or more...

Yes, absulatly correct opinion you could express in your post. I also know that in 2018 bitcoin price is also increase 6x profit. I also believe that in this time bitcoin carried in bull run in cryptocurrency market. I think that within a short time bitcoin price is also increase gradually in cryptocurrency market. Because we know that US president donald trump also support in cryptocurrency. So i believe that it will be best turning point for crypto currency market. So i also believe and expect in bitcoin bull run in cryptocurrency market.

I am assuming that OP here is principally talking on bull run by Bitcoin and based on that I made some Google search so we can have a confirmed data. Based on an article from Kucoin which is a reputable crypto exchange operating for years, it is known that 2017 bull run got the record of 1,900% dramatic rise for BTC.

Here is an excerpt: "A Bitcoin bull run is a period of sustained, rapid price growth, often driven by key events like halving cycles, increased adoption, or regulatory shifts. The earliest bull runs, such as in 2013, saw Bitcoin rise from around $145 in May to nearly $1,200 by December, a 730% gain fueled by early adoption and infrastructure development. Later, the 2017 bull run was marked by heightened media attention and retail interest due to the Initial Coin Offering (ICO) boom, with Bitcoin soaring from about $1,000 in January to nearly $20,000 by December—a staggering 1,900% increase. The 2020-2021 bull run, catalyzed by institutional adoption and growing acceptance, drove Bitcoin from around $8,000 in early 2020 to over $64,000 by April 2021, a 700% jump."

While we are looking for a good bull run in the coming 2025, I think the record established in 2017 is something already impossible to tackle on.

Profitable bull run? I don't think there is any measure that one can use to compare one bull run against the other and measure the profitability. But yes, this is pretty much spot on.

However, in general, there was much more volatility in past cycles, so past cycles are more profitable in general.

[joniboini]

I second the opinion that past cycles are more profitable. No surprising considering the nature of low volume and potential upside that were much higher in the past. I got some random airdrops in 2017 and at ATH it's worth more than $3k, even though they disappeared as soon as the bull market ended. I don't think I'll see another one in the future. I don't think that's a reason to stop trading or investing for the next cycles though. You'll still make money anyway and if you're looking for the next 100x tokens I bet you there'll be a new trend (whether it rises organically or not) that you can jump on if you're a bit lucky.
