True that 2017 was a little more hysterical than 2021 because everyone was like "What the hell is Bitcoin and why has it gone from $1000 to $20,000 this year", but I still recall people losing their minds a bit at the top of the 2021 peak.
I think we might be heading into a "super cycle" this time around because the fiat system is looking very, very weak. Interest rates are going parabolic, and there's more and more talk of the impending financial reset we've been waiting for since 2008.
