#比特币市场波动观察
On November 1, 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin white paper, marking the official launch of Bitcoin.
On January 12, 2009, the first Bitcoin blockchain transaction was completed.
On May 21, 2010, the story of 10,000 BTC being exchanged for two pizzas occurred, equivalent to about $25 at market price. This calculated the initial value of Bitcoin to be set at $0.0025. In November 2010, the price of BTC reached $0.5, which means it multiplied 200 times (0.5/0.0025).
On February 9, 2011, the price of Bitcoin reached $1 for the first time.
From March to April, trading platforms for Bitcoin against GBP, BRL, and PLN were launched. On June 8, the price of Bitcoin reached $31.9, an increase of 16,000 times from the initial price. On November 30, Bitcoin broke $1163.
In February 2012, it fell below $2, with a value decrease of 93%. In December, the price of Bitcoin rose back to $13.69.
In April 2013, BTC rose to $265. It then rationally corrected and plummeted by 60%.
At the beginning of 2014, the price of Bitcoin reached around $960, then Mt. Gox went bankrupt, and by the end of the year, the price fell back to the range of $300-500, with a price of around $315 on December 2.
In 2015, the price was $299 on January 1 and reached $438 on December 31.
In 2016: The price was $434 on January 1 and reached $963 by December 31.
In 2017, the annual increase was about 1800%, surging from around $800 at the beginning of the year to about $18,000 by the end, briefly exceeding $20,000.
In 2018, people's confidence in Bitcoin's internal consensus mechanism was questioned. The market price once hit the bottom, plummeting to about $3100, with an overall decline of 85%.
In 2019, it basically traded sideways, ending the year at around $7000.
From 2020 to 2021:
In 2020, the price rose from $7000 to $30,000, soaring to $70,000 in 2021. It took off, increasing tenfold in two years.
In 2022, it fell back to $15,000, losing 80%.
From 2023 to present, it has been on the rise, exceeding $100,000.
From this, it is clear that one must choose good targets, get in at the bottom, and have enough chips to realize freedom when it reaches millions. Currently, I am optimistic about meme coins, which have gone through repeated fluctuations and are now stabilizing at the bottom, with small funds positioned.
