Today, on February 21, 2024, the price of Bitcoin fluctuates frequently due to market demand and supply dynamics. As of now, Bitcoin's price stands at $89,543.34.
Bitcoin, launched in January 2009 by an anonymous person or group known as Satoshi Nakamoto, had an initial price of effectively $0 since it was mined rather than being traded on an exchange. However, its first recorded price on an exchange was in 2010 when it was valued at less than $0.01. Since then, Bitcoin has experienced significant price fluctuations, including periods of rapid growth and sharp declines, making it a highly volatile asset in the financial markets.
