No one is currently talking about the bull run again and this is because BTC has refused to drop below 38k or currently go above 45k for weeks now. The good news is that some stability is good for futuristic price progression. The bad news is, it might take long to see another hallmark price leap, it's not necessarily bad news, it's just that, when expectations are dashed, it sort of becomes a mental disappointment even when there's no factual cause to feel bad.
On the bright side, nobody is talking about the bear market either, and this is because we're in that phase of the market where nothing is really happening. One thing about BTC is that the excitement lies in the ups and downs, and a little bout of stability creates boredom. This isn't the same with some other alt projects that have another form of growth to build or sustain or projects to develop. This isn't discrediting BTC, after all, it's the mother coin, the original alpha project, and why we're all here in the first place.
For example, while a few people might be talking about the price of Hive not being motivated, I must say that the general objective of focusing on other aspects of the Blockchain keeps a lot of people going. Without alt projects BTC becomes boring. Why? Depending on price action to stay happy is not a way to live, and of course, alt projects bring essence and color to the general market. Of course, we're all looking to BTC to always kickstart anything. I don't think this will change.
Why?
The money flow in crypto will always remain the same, as long as BTC remains the biggest and recognized outfield coin. This isn't a problem as all Crypto projects basically have their role to play. So back to hive. I think ignorance is bliss. What do I mean? I think everyone should just keep doing their thing and avoid checking or comparing the price of hive to other projects. Infact I implore anyone who cares to listen to ignore looking at the price for the next six months. (This might be impossible because of dapps like inleo or peakD) or better still, look at the price, but don't be over-emphasized about the price and just see it as figures.
Once again, I'll use my regular cliche; "the market will do its thing" So the best thing is to completely stay ignorant, not chasing after ETF news and all that. I get that most people are anxious. They cannot take away the anxiety of wanting to know when they'll exactly become rich. For some, it's the endless years of wanting to get it right after they messed up in the last market. These sentiments make the process seem a bit slower when in actual terms, there's nothing amiss at the moment.
It's not in our nature to want to stay unaware or ignorant. When it comes to things like health and money, it's difficult to stay disciplined and choose to be ignorant. It's a human thing. However, maybe it's my numerous hospital sessions that have made me unaware of the market. When the last run happened, I was in college struggling to stay active and didn't pay much attention to the market, now it's my health condition.
It's not easy to choose to be completely ignorant of the market, I mean, some people have coinmarket bookmarked, and they have itchy fingers. We're prone to anxiety when we're filled with expectations. At the moment, the market is not moving much and I suspect this might likely remain the same for many months.
