You might not have even noticed it before last year, but because Bitcoin has been around for a decade, we have lots of price data. Even after the bounce in bitcoin this week, its price is still over 48% below its all-time high reached just over two months ago in mid-April. 48% is nothing compared to prior drawdowns.
