How do you feel about this bull run's results?

Lately, analysts have been throwing around different opinions on how long this bull run will last. Some are saying it's over and we might be heading into a bear market, while others think we're still riding high and it could carry on into next year. But that’s not the main point here. Before this bull run kicked off, there were all kinds of predictions floating around about where Bitcoin’s price could go. The big number everyone was talking about was $100k, and some folks even thought it could soar past that. Just for reference, Bitcoin's all-time high is $124,290.93. So what do you think? Did Bitcoin meet your expectations during this bull run, or did it fall short?

I thought bitcoin will get to $100000 and fall back but it went as high as $124400. That is above my expectations. Bitcoin has always been performing above my expectations since I know it in 2019. It is still above $100000 till now and it is still doing as if it is not coming back to $100000.

If I am not mistaken, the highest price of Bitcoin was $124. For Bitcoin to hit this price, it means it performed above my expectations. I can't tell if we are still in a bull market or if we are in a bear market, but if this is the bear market, then it's fine. There is no need to expect so much from the price of Bitcoin; expecting too much can lead to disappointment because it can't be predicted. I think Bitcoin has performed very well in the bull market. Right now, it's just better to buy more Bitcoin and hold; there's no need for high expectations.

I don't have high expectations for Bitcoin in the near future or this year, as I only hope to sell it when the price reaches $1 million. However long it takes, I'll wait. While Bitcoin is unpredictable, I remain optimistic that its price will surpass its previous all-time high of $124,290.93 by the end of the year. Even if that doesn't happen, it doesn't matter to me, as my goal is to hold Bitcoin for the long term, and for my retirement, which is likely still a decade away.

Asking if I’m satisfied definitely yes, honestly bitcoin performed so high this period besides I didn’t expect such high performance and I was surprised when bitcoin surpassed $100k the common price prediction. When predicting bitcoin price there’s no hard feeling attach like what might happen if bitcoin never gets to the price expected, bitcoin unpredictable state should be considered when making prediction like mentioned if the bear market comes any time soon no one can still predict the outcome so I’m expecting anything the market brings.

The expectation has been reached. It was along the line that some people's expectations began to shift higher compared to their first prediction based on Bitcoin's fast performance to reach their first target. Personally, I will say Bitcoin has even overperformed what most of us expected of it, and there is still more left to achieve before the end of the bull season, or are we already counting the bull to be over?

I could remember the moment when bitcoin hit the $100,000 all time high and how the excitement got over the whole community and many investors were so amazed this came in more earlier than expected, it's of a fact that we mostly predicted 100,000 and the market surprisingly got to $124,000 and still yet, we believe the last all time high have not been reached for this bullrun season. Many of us got beyond our expectations that at least the market crossed $100,000 and make it to where we are  and we are still very positive about further rising to $150,000 or something close, while all about this bullrun for the season may not last more than the end of this year, we should be getting prepared next year for another seasonal phase or circle.

Honestly, I didn’t expect Bitcoin to reach this current ATH. When the run started, I thought it would probably stall far below that mark but with the level of adoption we’re seeing, institutional demand, ETF inflows and even the growing interest from countries exploring BTC integration into their reserves, my expectations have shifted. Right now, I actually see this ATH as just a stepping stone rather than the peak. The fundamentals behind Bitcoin are stronger than in any past cycle, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we go way beyond here before it’s all said and done.

Bitcoin performance recently is be good, I don't know what anyone was expecting if they believe that the performance of Bitcoin is below their expectations. Although I have learnt not worry about the bull or bear market when it comes to Bitcoin, although this is my thoughts and not a financial advise, I trust Bitcoin will always come back even if a bear market comes in so I don't bother myself with analyst looking for attention.

Bitcoin has always outperformed our expectations and this time too, it made a new all time high that we did not anticipate until it hit $100k, you are right about the very early predictions when Bitcoin was in the range of previous all time high to $75k, at that time, $100k was a big target for Bitcoin. Everyone is saying Bitcoin can only hit $100k and then it will be bear run, but Trump won, market's sentiments changed, it became more bullish due to the adoption on bigger level, in short bro, the market outperformed as always and it can still surprise us with high all time highs.

It is very dependent on people entries and different people will different entries would feel different about the market. Like people who DCA bitcoin since 2023 and hold it till 2025, I believe that they would have gotten very good profit and would feel happlily. People who did not DCA but bought bitcoin around $15,000 or $20,000 would feel enough with profit now. Oppositely, people who about bitcoin around $100,000 or $110,000 would feel it's not enough and they expect Bitcoin price continues to rise to $150,000 or $200,000. From $15,000 to $117,000, the ROI is very good and it is only about 2 years and 8 months of holding.

Assuming the bull run has over, I'm not satisfied yet because I expect it at least double from the previous ATH. $129.6K was the goal, although $124.4K is close enough, not that bad. I think people only expect $100K in this bull run has low expectation, if Bitcoin only reach $100K, it will be very very long to reach $1M. Gladly I've sold some when the price was $117K, I will wait it drop to $100K, then I will buy it.

Bitcoin’s performance in this bull run really depends on where you entered and what your expectations were if you started accumulating during the long consolidation back in 2022–2023 with prices around $15k to $20k then hitting an all time high above $124k looks extraordinary that’s a life changing return in less than three years and for those investors the bull run clearly exceeded expectations. But for people who entered much later at $90k or $100k the story feels different they’re sitting on smaller gains or maybe even waiting to break even so naturally their outlook is shaped by hoping for $150k or even $200k targets when the market slows down after hype those late entries can feel frustrating. In a way bitcoin’s run above $124k is both above and below expectations above in the sense that the recovery from the lows was faster and stronger than many predicted but below in the sense that the most hyped predictions of $200k haven’t materialized (at least not yet). Overall the cycle has shown once again why patience and consistent buying strategies like DCA make more sense than chasing peaks the long term holders who stayed through the quiet years usually come out ahead while those who jump in at the height of optimism often end up waiting longer for the payoff.

In my opinion, Bitcoin has grown much more than I expected in this bull market. I am satisfied with $100,000, but reaching $100,000 to $124,000 is even more than I expected. I never imagined that Bitcoin would reach $100,000 in 2024. We always imagined that Bitcoin might reach a maximum of $80,000 in 2024, but instead, Bitcoin reached $100,000 in 2024, and in 2025, Bitcoin did not decrease, and it pumped more and reached the highest position. Moreover, I think that Bitcoin's bullish season is not over. There is definitely a bullish season ahead and we hope to see more Bitcoin prices in that bullish season.

That price per Bitcoin might never happen, you need to be realistic, a million dollars per Bitcoin might take more than 20years to happen, we hardly get to 120k this time around and we have been dreaming about 100k since 2021. Millions of people would have died before Bitcoin turn to one million dollars per BTC, to even see $500,000 happen will take years, I believe Bitcoin is even able to reach this present value because of ETFs and a BTC fan  President.

Obviously bitcoin outperformed everyone's expectations. Not that we aren't having a bullish sentiment on bitcoin but we know very well that price moves in a trend and would at some point give us a bearish reversal before continuing it's upward trend. But bitcoin actually did more than was expected. It moved consecutively in few months breaking every new highs until the recent one which threw it back down. Honestly I'm really amazed by how bitcoin performed this year and we are expecting more to come before the year ends. But let's not put our hopes too high as price might just want to play out in a consolidation for long...

I've said it a number of times, this one is just different due to a shift in the cycles. The problem is not that bitcoin is doing bad in this bear market but that it's not meeting people's expectations. Many investors think that they will have a blow-off top followed by a 70% crash, but this is most likely not going to happen. Instead we'll get this little ATH like when it goes from $100k to 120k and then pulls back to $100k. We'll probably reach a new high this year but it's going to be something like 129k and another pullback below 120k. Get ready for a boring bitcoin. I'm fine with that because I bought my coins long ago and this bull market was around 2x which is pretty good for an investment. If I get to add another 50% on top of that in the next 2 years I'll be more than happy. I do feel for people who bought after the ETF news somewhere at $100k and after a year they're up 10%. That may feel like a pathetic return because you'd have similar results holding money in a bank.

If we consider the bull run to be over now, then I would say it has performed below my expectations because I am expecting for it to peak again before the year ends so if it doesn’t then my expectations have fallen. Though if we are to talk, price wise I think that bitcoin has performed pretty well and evenly with how most people expected it to perform.

I am not satisfied with the current price of bitcoin but if from last year predictions, I think it has done really really well. But for this year after everything has happened I expected anything above it's current ATH, I still hope it reaches a good height the rest of this 2025. But if bitcoin is now going towards bear market then I am not satisfied yet because the ATH came too soon and is going too early.

Firstly the truths is that individuals do not know what bitcoin is going to do next, people just invest with trust and faith And the reason why the coin is trusted is as a result or it's past performance, the coil has proven to be reliable and trust worthy, that Is why people invest in it, not because some people who claim to see the future of the market, nobody really knows, I also invest based on trust and past results. In my perspective bitcoin went above my expectation, especially when it hit $100k it was like so unreal, that a coin that was once $5 grew up grew a fortune, The fact that I could once but more than 100 of the coin is just so mind blowing, And now can't even afford one it's crazy The coin has changed alot in the world today, and it such a wonderful experience. It has taught a lot, it's has a very heavy impact in the world today.
