There is no such thing as the normal or standard price of BTC.
If this post was written 2 years ago when the price was less than $1000 then you would assume that we may never see prices above $10k.
Because a price that high was simply unthinkable at that point - now when we know that bitcoin can go as high as $20k+ you are basing your opinion on that.
Price of bitcoin is totally fluid and the market will shape it at will according to supply & demand law.
