From $0 to $78k: Bitcoin’s Journey

2010: 1 BTC was used to buy 2 pizzas (~$0.0025)
2017: The first rally surpassed $19K, followed by a crash
2021: All-time high of $69K, followed by a prolonged bear market
2025: New ATH of $126K, followed by a correction
2026: Consolidating around $78K, with institutions beginning to accumulate more aggressively
15+ years, thousands of “Bitcoin is dead” claims — but its network has continued running nonstop since 2009.

From pizza to ETF, how many times has this narrative changed? At its core, it’s still that same peer-to-peer cash.

WWaveAnalyst2026-09-06

The past 15 years have seen too much FUD, but on-chain activity has never stopped.

VWAPFollower2026-09-06

Retail investors were already on board when institutions started to FOMO.

MemeWatcher2026-09-06

Those two pizzas from 2010 are now worth over $200 million—the ultimate nightmare and dream of a Holder.
