The Complete Graphic History Of "Bitcoin Is A Bubble"

• https://www.zerohedge.com, by Mark Jeftovic

Just in case you may think "It's a bubble" and "Tulips, backed by nothing" is a next-level, unique argument that no Bitcoiners have ever heard before, we humbly present, the history of "Bitcoin is a Bubble" in graphic terms, going back over a decade.

2013 Cycle

We start in 2013 when The Economist magazine declared Bitcoin to be a bubble in November as BTC cracked the $1,000 handle for the first time – they also declared "Bitcoin is expensive" and looking like a bubble earlier that year, in March 19, 2013 – when the Bitcoin spot price was… $59.

2017 Cycle

The next cycle peaked out in 2017 and by January, 2018 had plummeted all the way down to the $10,000 / BTC area, it prompted the New York Times to eulogize those foolish investors who tried to glom onto the phenom… "Remember Bitcoin? Some Investors Might Want to Forget" on December 28, 2018 – when the Bitcoin price was $3,653.13/BTC.

Even by this very next cycle, 2013 looked like a rounding error.

You'll never guess what happened next…

2021 cycle

One of the staunchest sound-money advocates in the world became one of the most vociferous critics of Bitcoin ever seen on social media.
