In 2013, the price of Bitcoin experienced a significant rise and significant volatility. The year began at a price of around $13 per Bitcoin, but as media and investment interest in the digital currency increased, its value began to rise dramatically.
By April 2013, the price of Bitcoin reached around $266, but soon dropped sharply to less than $100. After that, the price continued to rise again gradually until the end of the year, reaching a then-historical high in November 2013, exceeding $1,000 for the first time.
2013 was the beginning of intense global interest in Bitcoin and led to increased recognition of it as a digital currency with high investment potential.
