One unit of Bitcoin had the same properties when it was worth 1 cent, when it was worth 20,000 dollars and now when it is worth 7,000 dollars. Meaning, there is no pivot point derived from Price-to-Book Ratio, Price-to-Earnings Ratio, Bond Ratio, Interest Rate or Balance of Payments like in stocks, bonds or fiat currencies to determine whether its current price is cheap or expensive. Since it is not legally connected to property like fiat money is, where we know exactly how many units of newly created money corresponds to a property that a borrower offers as a way for a bank to secure the loan, even 1 cent for bitcoin may be too expensive. So believing that the price will go up just because someone in the past was willing to pay up to 20,000 dollars for one bitcoin is just wishful thinking. In a Tulip mania people paid as much as 100,000 florins for a tulip bulb. To put this in perspective, the value of a suit of clothes was about 80 florins. Thus, past prices are completely meaningless when discussing either value or future prices of something.
