Bitcoin lost much of its excessive ‘froth’ in the September crash, Nikolas and the other analysts said. But the cryptocurrency is still priced about 13 percent higher than its ‘estimated intrinsic value.’ Which, according to the JP Morgan folks, works out to be a little below $10,000 (read $9918 to be precise).
