🪙 Bitcoin turns 16: How crypto coin went from zero to trillion-dollar asset explained
🎂 Bitcoin is now 16 years old. If we were to choose the best-performing asset of the past decade, there is no doubt that Bitcoin would rank first.
From being worthless to a market value of over $2 trillion, Bitcoin has grown extensively in the last 16 years, so much so that Bitcoin has been the best-performing asset class in the past 11 years, data shows-Satoshi Nakamoto, a name used by the creator (or creators) of Bitcoin, mined the first Bitcoin block on Jan. 3, 2009.
This “genesis” block followed the release of a Bitcoin whitepaper on October 31, 2008, which laid the foundation for the now-leading cryptocurrency.
🌟16 Years of Progress
Since its inception, Bitcoin has undergone remarkable transformations that define its growth and influence.
🌟Adoption in the Early Day
Initially, Bitcoin attracted mainly technology enthusiasts. A notable moment in 2010 saw the first real-world transaction when 10,000 BTC were traded for two pizzas. This event underscored Bitcoin’s early value and its potential as a medium of exchange.
🌟A Dramatic Rise in Market Value
Bitcoin’s market capitalization has expanded significantly. By late 2024, it exceeded $1.42 trillion, placing Bitcoin among the top ten financial assets globally. This growth reflects its increasing acceptance and its role as a significant investment option.

⚠️ Advertencia sobre el posible “efecto Grayscale” en Solana en 2025 🚨
☝️ Analista advierte que Solana (SOL) podría enfrentar una gran presión de precio en 2025 debido a los desbloqueos de acciones de Grayscale Trust.
El "Efecto Grayscale" pasado en Bitcoin causó correcciones severas; riesgos similares pueden surgir para SOL, con fechas clave en enero y julio.
Los inversores deben mantenerse vigilantes y considerar cubrirse o diversificar antes de la posible volatilidad de estos eventos.El “Efecto Grayscale” se basa en experiencias pasadas con el Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).
Cuando Grayscale desbloquea sus acciones, los inversores típicamente las venden para capitalizar el premium — la diferencia entre el valor neto de los activos (NAV) del activo subyacente (Bitcoin o Solana) y el precio de la acción.
🤯 Históricamente, esto ha llevado a un aumento en la presión de venta, caídas bruscas de precios y, en algunos casos, turbulencia en todo el mercado. Lilly señaló que un escenario similar se desarrolló en 2021 con GBTC.
Cuando el premium desapareció, el mercado de Bitcoin alcanzó su pico antes de que se produjera una corrección severa, contribuyendo al colapso de empresas como 3AC, Celsius y Voyager.
