Just looking at Bitcoin's price journey over the years - it's wild how far we've come. Back in 2010, the bitcoin rate was basically nothing, just $0.09 per coin. Fast forward to 2012 and it jumped to $687.5, then the real explosion happened in 2018 hitting $20K. The 2021 bull run pushed it to $49K, and now in 2026 we're seeing it around $79.62K. The trajectory is pretty insane when you actually lay it out like this. From pennies to tens of thousands - that's the kind of long-term chart that makes you realize why people got so bullish on Bitcoin in the first place.
