many people say that bitcoin bubble, honestly I still do not understand what is meant by the term bubble earlier?

until now I am still curious


When you say an asset is a "bubble", it means that it would not prosper or last for a long time. It may gain its peak quickly, but after a while it would be doomed and plummet in value similar to how a bubble may abruptly float and then pop. I think that description is not applicable to bitcoin because it has been present for a while now, for about a decade to be exact. And although its value is going up and down at a very quickly, I think its just one of its features because its not backed by any reserves like the traditional currencies, which pumps value on it readily to avoid the effect of inflation.
This is very spot on! Until now cryptocurrencies has not had many use cases, but in 2018 a lot of applications are being released and I think it will be the best year of cryptocurrencies ever so far.
