#My2026FirstPost
Happy New Year! On January 1, 2026, Bitcoin kicks off the year around $87,500 – down from 2025’s peaks but light-years from its $0 origins.
From free mining in 2009 to pennies, dollars, thousands, and now nearing $100K despite crashes and endless obituaries, BTC’s long-term trajectory remains upward. Every cycle, it felt “late” to those inside it.
Volatility tests conviction; time rewards holders.
The question for 2026: Is this growth curve ending… or just accelerating?
Still early. Hold strong. 🚀
