Just stumbled on something wild about Bitcoin's early days. Back in 2011, BTC closed the year at just $4.25 on December 31st. Crazy to think about, right? That was up over 1,300% for the year, so people were already seeing serious moves even back then.

Now here's the thing that gets me - if you'd held from that 2011 bitcoin price point until now, you'd be looking at an absolutely insane return. We're talking from $4.25 to $80K+. The current price sits around $80.09K as of today, though it's down about 17% over the past year.

Makes you wonder what the 2011 bitcoin price would've looked like if more people actually understood what they were holding. Most people had no idea crypto would become what it is now. Pretty mental when you look back at the historical data and see how far we've come from those early price points.
