### **A Brief History of BTC’s Rise**
* **2009 – The Beginning**
Created by the pseudonymous *Satoshi Nakamoto*, Bitcoin was introduced as the first decentralized cryptocurrency. Early trades were peer-to-peer, with virtually no market value.
* **2010 – First Market Price**
Bitcoin’s first known price was around **\$0.003**, and famously, 10,000 BTC were traded for two pizzas (\~\$41 million today at ATH).
* **2013 – First \$1,000 Milestone**
Bitcoin hit **\$1,000** for the first time in late 2013 during growing global interest, before facing a prolonged bear market.
* **2017 – Mainstream Boom**
Riding a wave of retail adoption, BTC reached nearly **\$20,000** in December 2017—then experienced a sharp correction.
* **2020–2021 – Institutional Era**
Big players like Tesla, MicroStrategy, and Square began holding Bitcoin on their balance sheets. Massive demand and limited supply pushed BTC to its record **\$68,789** in November 2021.
