Over the last couple of weeks, bitcoin has been enjoying a well-deserved bull run, characterized through rapid price increases within a short timeframe. During the last 30 days, the cryptocurrency has managed to surpass its previous all-time high of $20,000, thereby establishing a new record of $41,940. The market was quick to celebrate, gasping in awe.

Many analysts warned that this was a bubble and that a price correction was imminent, whereas others were firm in their belief that the bull run was only getting started.
