Bitcoin’s price history: From its 2009 launch to its 2025 heights

[AGogi2003]

I am doing some additional research about Bitcoin, and I come across the link that talks many things about Bitcoin investment and launch. So I try to share with my fellow BitcoinTalk members, who have not gotten a full explanation about it before since they launched it in 2009. They will have more experience and knowledge about Bitcoin. And some newbie will like to be repeating questions about Bitcoin since they don't have an idea about it. So I see this will give them more explanation about Bitcoin and give them motivation to invest in Bitcoin for the long term.

The following site provides a longest Bitcoin price chart for you and I think you can not find anywhere else with a similar chart of Bitcoin price back to 2009-10-05.

If you want a more summary chart, use this one.

We can adopt a lot of ways to track on bitcoin market performance over time using any platform just as recommended above, however, its not all about using those sites, but knowing about how to make the necessary tracking to apply some of their information rightly.

If you're a newbie, then you may have to learn on how to read the chart, learn on how the indicators works and be able to interpret the information on them, this will give us a clear bearing to the market circumstance, which talks more about the technical aspects.

The link teaches nothing comprehensive or worth while about Bitcoin
Just his price history and I don't think that's what newbie should be checking out.
Like is usually recommended here, I would recommend mastering Bitcoin by Andreas M. Antonopoulos.
It did help me in understanding most basic terms and the forum helped with finishing touches and improvement.

Bitcoin is like the final boss of money. No cap, it’s decentralized, untouchable, and built different. While fiat’s out here inflating like your ex’s ego, Bitcoin’s just vibing on the blockchain, securing the bag for the next gen. Get in or get left in the dust.

Bitcoin is considered risk on and gold is considered risk off. The future bitcoin will be considered risk off in the same manor gold is.
Bitcoin becomes more mainstream and more people adopt to bitcoin the price will eventually stabilize but also the price will follow the stock market. Basically but most people would not have the conviction on holding this much in btc or understand self custody. Self custody is the battle i have with anyone buying bitcoin and its the hardest hurdle to help anyone get over. Bitcoin is no different to buying bitcoin instead of paying down debt.  The end result in both cases is you have debt.  It's just the psychology of it is different. In fact consider p2p options as your first go to since your just starting out, this way you can be very private with your bitcoin holdings from the start. All this bitcoin being custodianed by US is going to eventually be a very tempting honey pot for some future US gov to come and seize in the name of whatever. I'm seeing that it's been in bitcoin since inception when trying to look up history. though mastering bitcoin did actually give a reason why it may not actually be a bug, but rather, room for a future feature that never got implemented and now can't be removed. Someone who has independently made a footprint on the blockchain is a Bitcoiner to me.

If you want to really understand the cryptographic elements behind bitcoin you could go deeper into elliptic curve cryptography.

Mastering bitcoin is good for people if they want to know some technical information about bitcoin like how seed phrase is generated and how addresses are generated. Also if they want to know about bitcoin networks and nodes. It is very useful for people that read it.

But what the OP posted is good for newbies to know bitcoin price history. It can let learn and know when to invest and when not to invest in bitcoin.

The choice about when and when not to invest has always been on the interest of the investor based on his or her investment goals and objectives and risk tolerance level, those that make of the DCA might not necessarily be looking at when and when not to invest as a factor of the market conditions, but might investment invest based on the availability of their investment money to execute by order, some buys through the Lump sum while can also buy whenever there is dip but however, the combination of the strategies will not be bad provided the investor have the financial ability and on the second note the market has been known for it unpredictability making it very difficult to accurately know when to and when not to invest and because of that buying whenever we have our investment money ready is the best if holding is the plan especially for newbies because if they keep looking at the market fluctuation they can not buy or invest, perhaps histories are not guaranteed to repeat itself.

Investors approach timing their investments differently according to their personal goals what they want to achieve and how much risk they can handle.

Some of us use DCA which makes investing simpler and less emotional since they are not trying to guess market ups and downs.

Others prefer lump sum investing which can pay off big in rising market but risks investing at bad time. For those who can afford it mixing these strategies can be smart as market is famously unpredictable making it hard to know perfect time to buy or sell.

Because of this unpredictability especially for beginners it is mostly best to invest consistently when you have funds ready other than waiting for ideal market conditions since past market performance does not guarantee future results. This helps new investors avoid getting stuck trying to perfectly time market.

Those who have believed in Bitcoin and are holding it for the long term include El Salvador, Microstrategy companies and many other countries who are ready to grab the best of Bitcoin.
And they have been holding it for a long time, but there are some strategies for everyone to hold Bitcoin, among which the DCA method plays a role. In this DCA method, from poor to rich and companies follow the DCA method, it is best and reasonable to do it weekly.

Why? If newbies can't learn a thing from this link, they should understand how Bitcoin started from a low-valued project to $100K in price.

Newbies also should understand it takes a period of investing and holding to make profits.

Any Bitcoin articles we come across should be treated as good learning material, and a few things can be learnt from them. Learning in Bitcoin is progressive, not at an instance that makes all materials useful.

Did you make a typo or your logic is broken?

If newbies and people can not learn, how did they understand about anything including Bitcoin. They must learn for understanding and mastering anything and this logic works with everyone.

Bitcoin has gone from 2009 till 2025 to succeed with its price around $100k but it takes a lot of time, in years to reach to this price. It was not built in one night or any short period of time, but takes more than one and a half of decade for reaching this price milestone.

His whole post is just broken gibberish. No newbie is going to learn anything at all by looking at the historical price chart of Bitcoin except "number go up". Most of the articles that he may be referring to are also very superficial garbage. If a newbie really wants to properly understand what is Bitcoin and what gives its value they should read good books.

1. The Internet of Money by Andreas Antonopoulos.
2. The Bitcoin Standard  by Saifedean Ammous.
3. Softwar by  Jason Paul Lowery.

Here is the summary of bitcoin over the years... A pseudonymous entity called Satoshi had the idea of fixing the already flawed cash system back then and then created bitcoin. Launched it didn't gain much hype at first since nothing like that at that time was successful previously. After a while Satoshi disappeared... Adoption began to grow gradually as more people began mining and more also began using it for transactions till date.
The growth of bitcoin is pretty obvious and you don't necessarily need an article to tell you how positive it is. Growing from $0 in worth to over $104k as of now shows just how strong bitcoin adoption network is.

[Catenaccio]

they should read good books.

1. The Internet of Money by Andreas Antonopoulos.

When mentioning about Andreas Antonopoulos but forgetting to name his other books, it's big mistake.

Mastering Bitcoin.
Mastering Bitcoin Lightning Network.
He has many "The Internet of Money" books, and here is one of such books. The Internet of Money. It's downloadable for reading.

2. The Bitcoin Standard  by Saifedean Ammous.

Link for downloading The Bitcoin Standard book.

3. Softwar by  Jason Paul Lowery.

I did not know this book.

Softwar?

[BitHodlers]

When mentioning about Andreas Antonopoulos but forgetting to name his other books, it's big mistake.

It is not. Mentioning to many resources to a newbie is a mistake.

Mastering Bitcoin Lightning Network.

This book is not needed for what we are talking about here. It won't give you understanding of Bitcoin or its value. It is a specialized book for those who want to read about LN.

3. Softwar by  Jason Paul Lowery.

I did not know this book.

Softwar?

It is the last level of my ordered list. Only when you read and understand the other two should you can take up this one.

Unless it’s in a situation where the person want to learn how to read chart and implement it on trading that they will need to learn how to interpret it if not the link and history price it’s very simple to understand it shows what price Bitcoin was at in each year you select by just moving the arrow, and I believe the purpose of such data it’s for history/reference purposes anyone who want to trade will need more than that.

You are right about Bitcoin long term holders and smart way to invest using DCA. Countries like El Salvador and companies like MicroStrategy are buying Bitcoin because they believe it is valuable asset for future. DCA method is great for anyone investing in Bitcoin that can change value quickly. It means you invest set amount regularly like every week. This helps you get better average price over time so you worry less about sudden price changes. It is much calmer way to buy Bitcoin than trying to guess when to buy and anyone can use it from individuals to big companies.

Bitcoin doesn't have a price  it is money.
Money is used to exchange for goods and services, as a means for storing value, and as a means for measuring value.

When comparing different forms of money or currencies, we use an exchange rate  a ratio at which one money or currencies, is traded for another.People mistakenly think of Bitcoin as a commodity (like a stock), so they look at its price in dollars instead of seeing it as money used to exchange for goods and services.
In reality, Bitcoin is money itself, and the dollar is just another currency it’s compared to  that’s why it’s an exchange rate, not a “price.”

there's narrative currently dominating the conversation  because people still don't truly understand what Bitcoin is.
Just like there's a common narrative that Bitcoin is a currency, the reality is Bitcoin is not a currency, it's money.

Very few people understand the difference between currency and money

[BitHodlers]

In reality, Bitcoin is money itself, and the dollar is just another currency it’s compared to  that’s why it’s an exchange rate, not a “price.”

These semantics are not relevant and not needed for most people. Usually what is referred to as price is the exchange rate, mostly these two things are used interchangeably by most of the people in crypto. I only see a minority using the term exchange rate these days.
