Crypto sees a historic moment as Bitcoin crosses the symbolic $100,000 threshold.
Once dismissed as a fringe asset of cypherpunks and tech enthusiasts, Bitcoin (BTC) has climbed through milestone after milestone, from $1 in 2011 to $1,000 in 2013, and now to the coveted six-figure mark in 2024.
Bitcoin’s latest ascent speaks to its evolution from a curious experiment to a legitimate global financial asset.
But the journey to $100,000 was far from a field of green candles. The cryptocurrency has been declared “dead” more times than one can count, yet it rose from its grave every time.
