A few days ago, I saw a social media poll that asked whether people think bitcoin’s most recent upswing from $40k to $55k is a bull run, bull trap, or too early to tell. 63% picked either bull trap or too early to tell. Either we have a lot of people in disbelief that bitcoin’s price can go up from here or the poll’s respondents were excessively bearish.
