Yeah, this is a very common theory that people have posted about time and time again, this one has just tried to put it in literal bitcoin market terms.

So it looks like we're going through these steps right now then:
Step 9. Noobs see value plummeting, panic, and sell (often at a loss) Step 10. Price bottoms out, but not below where it started Step 11. Veterans hike down into the crater and buy, buy, buy. Step 12. Price stabilizes a little bit; noobs think “I’m an idiot”; feel burned and get out of Bitcoin. But some stay.

Yes but this time it was allot more hype Each hype is bigger than the previous. The first one was up to 32, the second to 170, this to 1200. Can't wait to see where the next will lead to!

In percentage terms, the crash of April '13 was smaller than the slide down from the '11 high. IIRC, the very bottom was still about twice as high as it would have needed to go to go as deep as in '11, as a percentage of the peak. Now, in April, the bottom on Bitstamp was, if my data is right, about 17% of the peak. That means that if we stay above 197 USD or so this time, the crash will have been less deep again. We're about to get another data point on the idea that free markets will stabilize themselves. Edit: Incidentally, the current low of 382ish is again about twice as high as the low would be, were this crash to go as deep as the April one did.

But it won't be. Too much speculation. How many times can you re-inflate the same used condom?

This time some people seriously got hurt. That's what is bad about the bulls hyping things up. People proposed selling the house, getting loans, etc to buy bitcoins... That is just ridiculous and could potentially ruin the lives of those that depend on them.

In the good old days that's what you did for a long time. And you kept it in a special box.

Unfortunately I did see some posts about: should I invest my life savings in BTC now or wait for a dip? and you do get "bulls" who just say buy buy buy no matter what, in all circumstances, mainly for their own profit.

It's always a bit odd seeking advice from people in a competitive market...like seriously, how can you trust anyone?

this is happening all the time.
Yes, bitcoin is volatile, but it's also very predictable.
