An illustrated history of bitcoin bubbles

There has been some angst and amazement in the mainstream media about the current Bitcoin bubble.

How does it compare to previous Bitcoin bubbles?

November 2010


Approximately 1000% gains.

June 2011


Approximately 6000% gains.

April 2013


Approximately 1600% gains.

December 2013


Approximately 1200% gains so far.


During any given bubble a newcomer only sees the colossal tidal wave of value that must soon obviously crash.

Notably in every instance the previous bubbles, however massive at the time, are generally invisible or insignificant on the charts when compared to the height of latest bubble. They are blips in the rear view mirror even though they were tsunamis.

Post-bubble values generally seem to steady off at 50-60% of peak value.

This time is different?

I don't know.
