From "worthless code" to a value of 120,000 dollars,
When Satoshi Nakamoto threw out the white paper in 2008, no one probably thought this string of code would explode!
In 2009, the genesis block was born, and 50 bitcoins landed like digital babies. Who could have imagined it would later become "digital gold"?
💥The first iconic moment must be the "pizza incident" in 2010!
A programmer exchanged 10,000 bitcoins for two pizzas... Now these two pizzas are worth 12 billion dollars! Every day someone tweets at him: Regret it? (I feel sorry for him even through the screen hhh)
In 2011, it first surged to 1 dollar, and then it was a wild roller coaster 🎢
31 dollars → 2 dollars, veterans in the crypto world said: Those who dared to buy the dip back then were all tough guys! That same year, the dark web "Silk Road" used it for transactions, making it half angel and half devil...
2013 was even more exciting!
The price soared to 1,200 dollars, only to be slapped back to reality by a ban, but Germany recognized it as a "unit of account", leaving the world confused: What exactly is this?
2017 was the true magical year ✨
From 1,000 dollars to 20,000 dollars! My girlfriend at the time followed the trend and bought some, and when it surged to over 10,000, she panicked and sold it overnight. Later, when it rose to 20,000, she fainted in the bathroom... (Don't laugh, I might have done the same 😂)
In 2021, El Salvador directly declared it as legal tender!
ATMs dispense bitcoins, supermarkets accept card payments; this move left the whole world dumbfounded... That same year it surged to 69,000 dollars, mining machines roared wildly in the data center, feeling like they were about to dominate the earth 🌍
In 2024, after the fourth halving, it will take off completely!
The U.S. approved spot ETFs, Wall Street big shots poured in money, and it shot straight up to 90,000 dollars! Now in 2025 it's broken 120,000... Those who called it a "pyramid scheme" back then, are they feeling the pain?
From a programmer's toy to a national fiat currency, from a dark web tool to a trillion-dollar market cap, BTC has been like a cheat code in these 16 years... Some have achieved financial freedom with it, while others chased the high and cried about being trapped 😭#BTC☀
