Just looked back at bitcoin price history and it's wild how much has changed. Back in 2011, BTC closed the year at just $4.25 on December 31st. That was actually up over 1,300% for the year, which sounds crazy when you think about it. Fast forward to now and we're looking at $81.98K per coin. The contrast between what bitcoin price in 2011 was versus today really puts things in perspective. From $4.25 to six figures - that's the kind of journey that makes you wonder what early holders must be thinking. Daily price data for bitcoin goes back to mid-2010, so there's a lot of history to dig through if you're curious about those early days.
