2008 - 2025: How Bitcoin Goes from Worthless to Peak Price
In the ever-changing digital currency, Bitcoin has been born since 2008, like a rising star, climbing from worthless to peak price, writing a legendary journey.
In 2008, Satoshi Nakamoto published the Bitcoin white paper on the Internet. The following year, the Bitcoin Genesis Block was born, with an initial price of only 0.05 yuan, and almost no one was interested. At that time, the financial market was dominated by traditional currencies and investment systems, and Bitcoin, a virtual digital currency, was regarded as a niche toy for geeks. But over time, the decentralized nature of Bitcoin attracted a group of early technology enthusiasts and libertarians.
In 2010, the highest price of Bitcoin reached 3.4 yuan, and it began to emerge. In 2011, the price of Bitcoin soared to 220 yuan like a rocket, thanks to its application in dark web transactions and the optimism of some investors about its future value.
In 2013, the price of Bitcoin exceeded 8,000 yuan, and global media competed to report on it, attracting more investors to enter the market. In the following years, although there were price fluctuations, the overall trend was upward.
In 2017, Bitcoin ushered in a crazy bull market, with the highest price reaching 140,000 yuan. The popularity of blockchain technology, global liquidity easing, and investment speculation and other multiple factors superimposed, pushing the price of Bitcoin to soar. In 2021, the highest price of Bitcoin soared to 440,000 yuan, and the entry of institutional investors provided strong support for it. Although there has been a correction since then!
But in 2024 and 2025, Bitcoin reached highs of 735,000 yuan and 780,000 yuan respectively. The rise in Bitcoin prices is the result of the combined effect of multiple factors such as technological innovation, market demand, and investment speculation. But at the same time, its sharp price fluctuations also reflect the high-risk characteristics of the cryptocurrency market. In the future, whether Bitcoin can continue to stand at the peak of price steadily is still full of variables.
