It's interesting to see how the price of Bitcoin has evolved over all these years. When I looked at the historical data, I was amazed at how wild the growth was. In 2010, the coin was worth just 28 cents, and then it all started. By 2012, Bitcoin's price reached over $12, and that seemed like a huge jump for that time.
The subsequent dynamics were just crazy. 2013 brought the first real bull run up to $813, then a correction in 2014-2015, followed by recovery. 2017 was legendary when Bitcoin broke the $8,700 mark. But the wildest part started later. 2020 gave us $18,000, 2021 soared to $59,000, then there was a dip in 2022 down to $16,000.
And in 2023, it recovered to $37,000, and 2024 ended at around $95,500. This is simply an incredible trajectory over 14 years. From cents to tens of thousands. Do you understand why people are so obsessed with this asset?
