"Never before in history was there anthing like bitcoin" The problem here is that you believe that bitcoin is being treated differently than anything that's come before. Its booms and busts are a sign that it is being used/abused for its familiar qualities, and not as much for its novel ones.

There is not necessarily any step 3.
