In case anyone is tempted to buy Bitcoin because it’s “cheap” relative to the high, bear in mind that this is not like (say) the tech stock bubble bursting. There is really _no_ objectively measurable value in Bitcoin as an asset. It’s value is solely based on consensus subjective perception that it has value. It _can_ go to zero. Look at charts of the tulip bubble and see where it ended.
