Overall we can say that crypto has had a good run this year so far and I am confident that this is not where crypto will end. I am sure that we will see much more good news for the whole crypto community in the next following months.

The community has not stopped growing ever since and more and more people are being influenced to finally take the step and invest.

Yeah, this start of year is already great and this gives us to set the expectation that the bull run is going to be greater as it starts.

Halving was done and before the date of halving came, we've seen the ATH reached and crossed over and that's why it's giving that positive speculations before this year ends and for the next year to come.

yeah i also expected something very big after this halving so I kept holding up to now and planning not to sell until I set my goal price to selling all my holding.

this year is the waiting time , but there are lots of speculative thread that we will be seeing that 6 digits or that 100k price not this year but in 2025 , are you also agree on that mate?

We have to wait, the bull run soon will come and that's going to show how dominant it is for this and next year.

That's okay, there's no need to rush. This year is okay, next year is okay. That still suits the 4-year cycle that we're always experiencing but we don't know if this will be different in the past.

If it will be different, I hope that it will be better than the past bull runs.

Yeah the start of the year I feel like definitely set the whole mood for the rest of the year and now after the halving we can start speculating just how high can the price go up to in the next following months extending until next year.

Lots of investors definitely expressed positive sentiment about the market although the past few days where bitcoin was dipping made a lot of them anxious. We are back on track though it seems.

The Bitcoin market will make a new ATH after the price halves, but the bull run will increase more significantly. We have to move forward with positive thoughts in the market. Bitcoin and Ethereum, along with other altcoins, will rise in price to provide context for the cryptocurrency's performance. The increasing interest of people to invest in Bitcoin to increase the value of Bitcoin will push Bitcoin to higher heights.

How does the halving event specifically contribute to this bullish outlook? Additionally, what factors are driving the increasing interest in Bitcoin investment, and how might this impact the broader cryptocurrency market?
