Wow, look at Bitcoin's price journey from the beginning until now. In 2011, Bitcoin was only $2.49 during Thanksgiving—imagine buying 1,000 coins for just $2,490. Then it slowly rose until 2013, exploding to $813, but dropped immediately to $376 the next year.
What's interesting is that from 2015-2017 there was a big rally, from $328 s to $8,771 in two years. But 2018 crashed hard to $4,015. After that, it recovered slowly until 2021, reaching a peak of $58,927—that's when everyone started taking crypto seriously.
2022 was very bearish, dropping to $16,353 during Thanksgiving. But 2023-2024 saw another recovery, rising to $37,035 and then $95,531. Now in 2025, it's still around $91,600. From $2.49 to $91,600 in 14 years—that's why many say early adoption is important in this space.
