It’s a bit of an understatement to say that Bitcoin has had a wild run in the past couple of days, hitting an all-time high above $18,000 on Thursday only to plunge about $3,000 within hours. By mid-Friday, Bitcoin prices seemed to be in a slow, rocky descent. And Twitter, of course, was there for market watchers to chronicle the madness.

Whether trolling for retweets by promising to share nonexistent Bitcoins or updating favorite memes, there was plenty of fun to be had. Here are some highlights:

A boy asked his bitcoin-investing dad for 1 bitcoin for his birthday.
Dad: What? $15,554??? $14,354 is a lot of money! What do you need $16,782 for anyway?
