Chart with data until 2014-10-14:

Log-scale chart dated 14-10-2014, v1.1: Bitcoin's daily weighted price in green from 2010 to 2014 under a red curve labeled "Logarithmic (non linear) Regression, R² = 0.9886, y = 2.9065Ln(x) - 19.493," with dated markers where the curve reaches $1 (06-04-2011), $10, $100, $1,000 (24-04-2015), $10,000 (22-11-2017) and $100,000 (16-07-2021), and a donation QR code

If we “flatten” the red logarithmic line, we get the spread between the price and the estimated value:

Chart titled "Spread": the percentage gap between price and the regression line from 2010 to 2014, peaking at +1678% in 2011 and +506% in 2013 and ending at -42%

This is how the 2011 and 2013 (1) bubbles look like in linear price axis:

And this is how the 2011 and 2013 (1&2) bubbles look like in linear price axis:
