You seem to have chosen arbitrary time frames. You know that after 2013 it was stagnant for several years, right?

> then crashes to roughly 2x where it started,

I consider it to have started in the beginning of 2017, around $1k.

Fair enough, I was looking at a chart that apparently didn't go back that far. However, looking at another chart that goes back to mid 2010, I don't see it either.

Can you point me to a chart and time frame during which the behavior described was occurring? It looked like it did something sort of like that (but not at the magnitudes described) a couple of times in the runup to $19k in late 2017, and I see a big spike in late 2013, but I don't see any sort of real pattern of any type, other than the fairly consistent small price spike after a big drop that comes from people buying at bargain prices.

I can't find a great one...but if you go here:

And click on 'all' and select 'logarithmic scale' (beneath the chart), you can see it fairly clearly.
