early on bitcoin was, for a long time, regularly crashing to ~50% then rising to ~200%

2 - 10 - 5 - 20 - 10 - 40 - 25 - 100 - 50

when it crashed to 50 from 100 in 2013? 2012? i really wanted to buy 10 of them as i had observed the pattern for a long time. wish i had. oh well.

so clearly now it's going to rise to ~40k (kidding)

Maybe I'm remembering it wrong, but I recall a point in time where it first rallied up to about $33 then crashed down to something like $2.

Why wouldn't it? If it is truly being used by financial institutions to transfer wealth then those are big pressures for an upward slope.

transfer wealth - what a joke.

You will transfer a hell of a lot less wealth today than last week - what a great method of transferring wealth!
