$BTC

Over the past 12 years, the Bitcoin (BTC) market has experienced several notable upward trends. After its creation in 2009, Bitcoin remained relatively obscure until 2013, when it first surged past $1,000. In 2017, BTC saw a massive rally, reaching nearly $20,000 before crashing back down. However, this crash was followed by gradual recovery and growth. In late 2020 and 2021, Bitcoin experienced another major surge, hitting new all-time highs above $60,000 as institutional investors and large corporations began adopting BTC. Bitcoin's price volatility has been high, but it has maintained long-term growth, driven by increasing mainstream recognition, adoption, and its reputation as "digital gold." Despite setbacks, its market has evolved significantly over the last 12 years.
