But this "crash" was old news right?

I remember a lot of tech blogs discussing the "rise and fall" of bitcoin as though it were now a failed experiment, but I don't see it that way at all. My layperson take on it was that it was a speculation bubble, with a vastly overinflated price. It's been stable for a while now though.

I never saw Bitcoin as an investment opportunity, just a trading medium, and an experimental one at that.
