#TradeOfTheWeek Bitcoin has surpassed a $2 trillion market cap, making it the fifth-largest asset in the world—outpacing giants like Google and Amazon. This milestone marks a major leap from its humble beginnings in 2008, when the pseudonymous Satoshi Nakamoto released the Bitcoin whitepaper, introducing a peer-to-peer digital currency. Since then, Bitcoin has evolved from an experimental idea to a globally recognized asset. Factors fueling this surge include easing U.S.–China trade tensions, growing institutional adoption, and favorable regulatory shifts—like states allowing crypto investments. With Bitcoin’s price reaching new highs above $100,000, its rise underscores the power of decentralized finance and blockchain technology. And to think… it all started with a whitepaper.$BTC
