Despite Bitcoin flirting with $80K recently, top industry names say the real bull market hasn't even begun.

Speaking at the LONGITUDE by Cointelegraph event in Paris, MN Capital founder Michael van de Poppe argued that today’s chaotic dip could mirror the 2020 COVID crash — when BTC fell 40% in a day… and then surged 20x from the bottom.

🔁 “These pullbacks? They're setups,” he said.

Messari CEO Eric Turner doubled down:

“We haven’t had a real bull market. We’ve had ETF hype and memecoin noise… the real rally is still ahead.”

🗳️ Meanwhile, Mantra CEO John Patrick Mullin pointed to growing support from the U.S. government. Trump has appointed crypto-friendly names like Paul Atkins and pushed forward stablecoin regulation. But…

📉 New tariff hikes, labeled "Liberation Day" taxes by Trump, are triggering market fears — spooking investors across both crypto and U.S. equities.

So, are we in a pre-rally shakeout, or something deeper?

🤔 What do you think — are we early or already mid-cycle?
