first time around it was mainly amateur investors who bought , i remember the bubble myself i was trading it. it was all mtgox, there was no leverage or any advanced trading, multiple exchanges, hedge funds etc. it was almost totally out of the radar of the mainstream media
this time it is in the mainstream media. there are btc hedge funds, many different exchanges, futures, etc.
the price is not so crazy, its been a very slow buildup at each point people were thinking it would crash and it didnt. we've got kwukduck saying its a bubble, people convinced technical problems, etc etc.
that is unlike the first time when people were saying it was going to $100,000 per coin, "new elite" almost nobody thought it was a bubble, just seemed to go up and up every day with no doubt about any crash
the truth is theres some professional investors who are buying this time and arent going to sell, this is a very steady strong rally unlike 2013
yeah theres no crash this time dont think its going below $1000 again , sorry guys. if you havent bought it still time. we can go quite high this time, much much higher than last ath
