Traders and developers were cautious; 78.6% of traders and 74.9% of developers felt the bull run isn’t over, compared to 69% of spectators.
Interestingly, optimism spans all experience levels in crypto: 52.7% of 0-3 years, 52.2% of 4-7 years, and 51.8% of over 8 years see early bull run signs.
The survey also found 60.4% anticipate market gains, with 21.3% foreseeing a supercycle, suggesting potential for Bitcoin to surpass $73,000.
