There are many websites to check Bitcoin price, its price chart but if you are looking for a website with a most comprehensive all-time Bitcoin price history chart, there is only one and the best website for you.

What is it?
It is https://bitcoin.zorinaq.com/price/ (https://bitcoin.zorinaq.com/price/)

Let's see the chart first.

This is the most comprehensive all-time Bitcoin price history chart you will find online. Updated daily. The chart is interactive:

On 2009-10-05 the market price of Bitcoin is first established at $0.000764/BTC by New Liberty Standard, the first Bitcoin exchange ($1.00 buys 1309.03 BTC.) The exchange rate history is available at two archived pages: first (https://web.archive.org/web/20100428024753/http://newlibertystandard.wetpaint.com/page/2009+Exchange+Rate), second (https://web.archive.org/web/20100301174241/http://newlibertystandard.wetpaint.com/page/Exchange+Rate). Their last known exchange rate is $0.005472/BTC on 2010-03-02.

On 2010-04-25 the market price is established again at $0.003/BTC, using the daily volume-weighted trading price of the second Bitcoin exchange, BitcoinMarket.com (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Market) (PayPal USD trades (https://api.bitcoincharts.com/v1/csv/bcmPPUSD.csv.gz)). The owner, dwdollar, actually started operating it on 2010-03-17, however trading data for the first few weeks is—to my knowledge—not available.

After 2010-07-18 the exchange rate is from the CoinDesk BPI (https://www.coindesk.com/price/bitcoin/) v1 API (https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/historical/close.json?start=2010-07-18&end=2022-05-17 (https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/historical/close.json?start=2010-07-18&end=2022-05-17)).

After 2022-05-18 the exchange rate is from the CoinDesk BPI v3 API (https://www.coindesk.com/pf/api/v3/content/fetch/chart-api?query=...) because v1 has gaps in the data starting on that date.

Two exchanges New Liberty Standard, BitcoinMarket.com have their announcement threads in Bitcointalk too. Not surprised as the forum is very important place for first Bitcoin exchanges and Bitcoin community.

  • New Liberty Standard:
    • No official announcement but there are two threads with some information. Market Influence on Exchange Rate (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=70.msg631#msg631) and Contribute to Bitcoin Confidence (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=39.msg224#msg224). The owner, NewLibertyStandard (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=26) account.
    • More information about New Liberty Standard exchange? Do you know a first Bitcoin exchange? What is it, How it looks like? (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5476840.0)
  • Bitcoin Market
    • New exchange (Bitcoin Market) (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=20.0). The owner, dwdollar (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=24) account.

This price chart website is built by Marc Bevand (https://www.zorinaq.com/).

He has his blog with some blog articles about Bitcoin. I choose some of most interesting articles from his blog. Some is off-topic but I think it's worthy to share them as a recognition for Marc Bevand.

  • The Bitcoin Cryptocurrency
    An unexpected use of the herculean computational power of GPUs (https://blog.zorinaq.com/the-bitcoin-cryptocurrency/) - March 2011
  • Bitcoin: The Simplest Non-technical Explanation (https://blog.zorinaq.com/bitcoin-the-simplest-non-technical-explanation/) - January 2012
  • Bitcoin Hits All-Time Trading High — This Time With Increased Economic Activit (https://blog.zorinaq.com/bitcoin-hits-all-time-trading-high-mdash-this-time-with-increase/) - February 2013 and Bitcoin hits $32 on Mt.Gox. It's $32, not $32,000!
  • 1 Bitcoin = 1000 US dollars (https://blog.zorinaq.com/1-bitcoin-1000-us-dollars/) - November 2013.
  • Electricity consumption of Bitcoin: a market-based and technical analysis (https://blog.zorinaq.com/bitcoin-electricity-consumption/) - March 2017.

From $32 to $1,000 and now we are discussing about $100,000. Price moves so fast!

You can compare information from the first image with information in Bitcoin electricity consumption: an improved assessment (https://www.jbs.cam.ac.uk/2023/bitcoin-electricity-consumption/) from Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index's report on their methodology change.
