Wasn't this crypto-crash (course) needed?

This is actually the third bear market that bitcoin has seen. The first one was in 2011, and the second was a vicious one from 2013 to 2016.

This one isn't that bad because we're still above $3000. Remember the big event was in early 2017 when bitcoin passed the price of gold. It is now holding at three times the price of gold, which is a fair position to be in.
