After reading this (I started with reading the conclusion) I'm glad that I didn't waste my time with the remainder of the article. This doesn't seem to be an objective article, but just subjective ranting.
That is the more fitting word, instead of 'all time high market cap'. See our before-it-was-famous academic debunking of Bitcoin: http://www.pds.ewi.tudelft.nl/~victor/bitcoin.html
