Jimbo 2012 went from under $5 to over 12, I know because I started researching it around June around $5ish,  I studied up on it a little and kept telling my wife this is big, then looked at price and it was nearly $7.  I figured I would by when it came down a little because it had risen so fast (I thought).  December it was over $12, I said ###K IT and started buying.

2012 was only a bear market in "bitcoinland".
