How can it be the biggest bubble in human history when it peaked around 200bn and had nowhere near that much actual cash pumped into it? Minuscule compared to the dotcom and housing bubbles. A bubble, sure, but biggest ever doesn't make sense.

If you look at the graph in the article comparing different bubbles, Bitcoin peaked at 60 times the starting price, which is the largest relative peak in the graph. It is the largest in relative, not absolute, terms.
