Launched in January 2009, Bitcoin has come a long way from its minimal value to record highs. This journey continues to inspire investors and analysts worldwide.

Bitcoin Origins: From Zero to a Dollar

Created by the pseudonymous developer Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin initially had a near-zero value. In its early days, there were no exchanges like we have today, and transactions were direct trades: in 2010, for example, 5,050 BTC were exchanged for $5.02.

Growth Stages: Key Milestones

Significant changes in Bitcoin's price began in 2011 when it first reached $1. Later that year, the price climbed to $10, then $30. In 2013, Bitcoin's price rose from $13 to over $1,100, and in 2017, it almost hit $20,000.

Current Value and Predictions

The latest major surge occurred in 2021, with the price reaching $69,000. In November 2023, it nearly hit $100,000, setting a new record.

Bitcoin's history is one of dynamic changes and impressive growth. Despite fluctuations, it remains a key asset in financial markets.

Hyperliquid HYPE's Revenue Model Sparks Debate

Despite pushing around 215 billion in weekly volume, Hyperliquid HYPE's price remains down about 47% from its all-time high. This disconnect is attributed to the platform's unique revenue model, which directs 100% of its revenue into buybacks, creating a direct link between usage and token value. Analysts are debating the sustainability of this model and whether the market has fully priced in the transparency premium it offers.
