You are working with a limited view of Bitcoin price history if you think there have only been two prior bubbles or peaks. There have been something like 6 Bitcoin 'bubbles' and busts since 2011. The very first major bubble is attributed to Senator Chuck Schumer in June 2011 advertising to the world that you could buy drugs with Bitcoin on silk road. That took the price from $1 to $32 before crashing.

- tedks 11y agoI remember that summer. Such a beautiful and simple time for bitcoin. I frantically unloaded the bitcoins I bought at $8 when the price crashed from $30 at around $15/coin, withdrawing my entire initial investment and feeling bummed about not getting out when the getting was good. Then in a few months the 2 coins I kept were worth hundreds apiece.
