Looking back at BTC's price trajectory from its birth to 2020, it truly is witnessing a legend.

When it first launched in 2009, it was $0.0008 per coin—basically given away for free. A year later, it rose to $0.08, a hundredfold increase. In 2011, it broke into double digits for the first time, peaking at $32.

In 2012, it climbed to $254, and in 2013 it soared to $1,231—this surge brought countless people’s attention to cryptocurrencies. After that, it pulled back: $680 in 2014, dropping to $499 in 2015.

In 2016, it started gaining momentum again, ending the year at $991. Then came the crazy year of 2017, shooting straight up to $19,785! That year, the word “Bitcoin” was everywhere online.

2018-2019 were adjustment periods, hovering at $17,165 and $13,660 respectively. By 2020, $28,900 set another new high, with more and more signs of institutional entry.

In just over a decade, from a few cents to nearly thirty thousand dollars, that volatility is truly exhilarating.
