it is all about point of view. some people look at the empty half of the glass and some people look at the full half of it. obviously when you look at the ATH at any time we will be below it, even a second after ATH was hit we will be below it! but a better POV is to see that a year ago price was barely 5 digits and wasn't long before that price was $3000 and now it is so much higher than that.

even a better POV is that when price was $3000 people were also panicking and selling their bitcoins.
