Only april and this one.
I regard them as crash-courses (heh) in finance. In the first one, I bought all the way up (also sold according to schedule) which meant I was under the water several days. It was PAINFUL, I couldn't get myself to ride it like all the wiser people here adviced. Plus, the April crash happened along the week previous to my final project presentation, which made me all the more anxious. By the time the July capitulation arrived I was already desensitized. Now? I trade like a boss, and am well in EUR profit anyway.
But I never forget. When my friends showed interest in buying last month (they had heard about Silk Road bust, I had told them about bitcoin in March lol) the first thing I did was play the April crash time-lapse video for them, lest they suffer like I did.

I've been following BTC since April 2010.

I consider bitcoin the compact immersion training course for market psychology yet!
Yep I think all commodity traders should get on here; the only place where you can go through all phases of the market in one year
As for the topic, all of them. Would not miss any, the adrenaline is what makes bitcoin so special (besides being the currency of the future yadda yadda).

i count 15.5 to 7 as #4 for me.
Aye, she was my first, and she got me good! She took 90% of my coins, but she taught me to stay strong through 2013.

I saw the 2 recent "bubbles": april and the current one.

The Architect from Matrix Reloaded had words about this..

tl;dw: I prefer counting from the emergence of one integral anomaly to the emergence of the next. In which case, this is the sixth version.

All 4 mentioned here.
But weren't there several huge ramps followed by 50%+ drops before June 2011? Those would be before my time.

All 4... always painful, until the next one. Still holding on tight.
(although #1 was with a ton of BTC on my hard drive that I had completely forgotten about)
