Deep dives

Reflections on the Bitcoin Bull Market

The conversation reflects on the recent rapid rise in Bitcoin's price, which peaked over $90,000, sparking mixed feelings among enthusiasts. Participants note a perceived lack of excitement and creativity in meme culture compared to previous cycles, where engaging content would accompany price surges. This change is attributed to the swiftness of the current bull run, leading to an unusual atmosphere devoid of the typical celebratory memes that usually thrive in such periods. The speakers express a desire for more engaging and humorous content to rejuvenate community spirits and foster a sense of enjoyment.
