The price change of Bitcoin on the special date of Christmas Eve can be regarded as a history of the evolution of crypto assets.

Looking back at the market data over the past years: in 2010, when it was still around $0.25, Bitcoin was like a forgotten corner of the market. By 2011, it rose to $4.22, but in the following years, it hovered between $300 and $900, with limited market recognition.

The real turning point came in 2017 — that bull run pushed BTC to a high of $13,983, and investors began to take this asset class seriously. The subsequent sharp correction in 2018 brought it down to $3,779, causing many to experience a roller coaster. But starting from $7,193 in 2019, the market entered a longer-term upward channel.

In 2020, liquidity easing after the pandemic drove BTC to $24,705, and in 2021, it even reached a peak of $50,440. The bear market in 2022 pushed it back to $16,828, but the rebound in 2023 brought it back to $43,146. By the end of 2024, Bitcoin had risen to around $94,000, and in early 2025, it remained at approximately $87,313.

From the data, Bitcoin's long-term trend remains upward, despite intense fluctuations in the middle, with obvious cyclical characteristics. This may be why it has grown from a marginalized asset to a market focus of global attention.

0.25 to 87313, this is a dream... but it depends on when you get on board. If you get in the wrong position, you'll still get cut.

If I had known in 2010, I would have gone all in. What's the use of talking about long-term upward trends now? I would have been financially free long ago.

Damn, this increase is unbelievable, from 0.25 to 87k, it's really like a rocket. By the way, how are the guys who held early on doing now? They must be going crazy. That 2018 wave was really tough. A friend told me they got completely trapped and lost everything back then. Now they don't even dare to look at the market. But these cyclical things really do resemble each other—when it drops, everyone calls it dead; when it rises, people go crazy with FOMO. Human nature. At the 87k level, should we keep pushing forward or expect a correction? Looking for some expert advice. If this had happened a few years ago, who would have believed Bitcoin could play like this? Truly a moment witnessing a miracle. I just want to ask, what does mentioning this on Christmas Eve imply? Or is it just a meme?

Wow, from $0.25 to 87k, now that's the real wealth code. The early investors who bought back then are probably financially free now, right?
