If you create deflationary currency you get bubles again and again.

i guess if the value stabilize and people use it as a real currency, then people will stop saying bubble, but now even Steam has stopped accepting BTC

Bitcoin isn't a currency, it's a commodity (akin to digital gold). It can't be naturally deflationary and used to facilitate day-to-day trade because, by design (and with all else being equal), you're better holding on to the bitcoin than spending it.

Fiat currencies are the opposite - inflation encourages spending because the money slowly trends towards being worthless if you don't spend or invest.

It was a bubble at 1000$ and it did burst (to some degree).

The pops before then ($30, $266) were much steeper in percent

Fyi
