It may be a language thing, but I believe teekert meant bitcoin exploded, as in, took off and was temporarily valued at ~$1,300. So, you mistook the meaning as the exact opposite of what the author intended (I believe).
Also, the other reply to you mistook you for not understanding that your link is satire, which I believe you understood.
