This maybe have been posted before, if so sorry, but I thought it was pretty cool. Just happened to be explaining to my wife the NASDAQ Y2k bubble, and showed her the chart, and I knew it looked it looked familiar! ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi44.tinypic.com%2Fo6i5qt.jpg&t=665&c=GKFpTXOOrVQ65g)

The bitcoin chart shows a downtrend of red before recovering, and the NASDAQ chart hasn't yet reached that downtrend. Compare each rise and fall one by one to see what I mean.

People overinvesting in things they don't understand is pretty much what defines a bubble.

It was a bubble. Anybody would tell you that. well I guess what I'm trying to say that it wasn't necessarily a bad bubble. I mean companies like google and amazon came out of it. Unlike the real estate bubble, which was propped up by government housing subsidies.

My take from the two charts, is this; NASDAQ took decades to blast off and then begin solid forward movement. BTC is doing the same thing in years.

wow guys thats really prolific - put in a small egg now and retire in years not decades! Beyond pure btc investments, there are also btc company asset shares that can be purchased from bitfunder. We've even got Rich Winklevoss twins pushing for a public btc etf...those should all be signals to buy in now...not after its too late and they are 3k a coin mainstream. (3k is a wild fantasy of a guess and i'd likely cash out long before they hit that value)

Not only NASDAQ, the global stock market rise, the price of bitcoin go up, otherwise the price fall.
I noticed this before.

Were you posting this to tell us you have a wife or the correlation of the two charts? I'd bet on the first if it was verifiable.

Unintentionally funny. Saying something is not X and then "proving it" by describing X.

You can't compare these two graphs. They only shows the same phenomenon which is bubbles. They are everywhere and that's nothing wrong about it. I believe some time later there will be another btc bubble. ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)
