Just looked at Bitcoin's August price history over the past decade, and the pattern is actually wild. Started at just $148 back in 2013 when bitcoin price in 2013 was basically nothing, then it took years of grinding through the $600-700 range. But once it got momentum around 2017, everything changed.
The jumps got bigger every cycle. 2021 hit $50K in August, then 2022 crashed down to $25K, but by 2024 we bounced back to $65K. That's the thing about Bitcoin—even the bear years look bullish compared to where we started. And now we're sitting at $80K in May 2026, so the long-term trajectory is pretty undeniable.
If you zoom out, every August for the last decade has been higher than the one before it (except the obvious corrections). Makes you wonder if we're still early in this bull run or if we're approaching the peak of this cycle. Either way, the decade-long trend is pointing up hard.
