Just checked Bitcoin's price action and noticed something interesting when I looked back at the data from a year ago. Back on May 1, 2025, BTC was trading around 96k, which feels like a different era now. Today it's sitting at 80.52k with a slight dip of 0.25% in the last 24 hours. Market cap is around 1.61 trillion at the moment.
What's wild is comparing the two periods. Last year there was this strong ETF inflow momentum pushing prices higher, and people were talking about institutional adoption ramping up. Bitcoin showed some real resilience back then too, especially against broader economic headwinds. Fast forward to now and the bitcoin price landscape has shifted quite a bit.
Interestingly, some regions like Uruguay were already pushing crypto adoption pretty hard around that time with Bitcoin ATM installations and support for multiple tokens. Curious to see how that's evolved. The whole market dynamics feel different now compared to where we were a year ago.
