Bitcoin's Resilience and Market Perception

Despite experiencing fluctuations in price, Bitcoin continues to demonstrate resilience and defies expectations of its demise. The current market does not yet exhibit signs of a full-fledged bull market, as there is a lack of widespread enthusiasm and interest from outside the finance industry. Bitcoin is still regarded as a call option with an evolving narrative and changing perceptions of its potential. Holding onto the asset during downturns and bullish periods has proven to be a unique characteristic among its main holders.
