There seems to be a somewhat widespread meme that 2025 is bull market year. 

I don’t really remember similar memes for 2017 or 2021. 

Can’t tell if this is collective cope if there’s any weight at all to this prediction.

Maybe a bit of both.  It's definitely a whole lot of copium, but crypto functions more on social hype than fiat does, so enough copium hype *could* potentially jumpstart a bull run.  

Or it could all crash again cuz crypto still isn't really old enough for us to get a real grasp of the patterns and potential.
