From $250 to $100,000: Bitcoin’s Journey from Skepticism to Success
When I first started working in crypto, Bitcoin was worth just $250, and most people dismissed it as a bubble, a scam, or a tool for money laundering.
When I first started working in crypto, Bitcoin was worth just $250, and most people dismissed it as a bubble, a scam, or a tool for money laundering. I heard it all, skepticism, ridicule, and outright rejection. Bitcoin was seen as something on the fringes of society, a passing fad that would fade away.
Today, Bitcoin has crossed $100,000 for the first time in history, cementing its role as a cornerstone of global finance. It’s no longer just a curiosity, it’s a legitimate asset embraced by institutions, governments, and investors around the world.
The journey from $250 to $100,000 has been nothing short of remarkable. And now the question on everyone’s mind now is, How high can it go?
The truth is no one knows, but several factors show that Bitcoin’s ascent is far from over:
Institutional Adoption: Major institutions and nations are integrating Bitcoin into reserves and treasury strategies. Talks of a Bitcoin Strategic Reserve for the U.S. signal growing acceptance at the highest levels.
Regulatory Clarity: Bitcoin is increasingly recognized as a unique, legitimate asset by global regulators.
Hedge Against Fiat Printing: Central banks like the Fed, ECB, PBOC, and BOJ have been printing money recklessly for decades. Bitcoin stands as a hedge against this inflationary monetary policy, offering a solution to the rising cost of living driven by fiat devaluation.
Bitcoin has been the best-performing asset class in the world for 10 of the last 13 years. Its potential to continue outperforming in the decades to come seems inevitable. This milestone is not the summit, it’s just the beginning. Bitcoin is still in its early stages, with less than 2% of the global population owning any.
