What kind of price evolution did BTC witness on the special date of Christmas?



Looking back at historical data, you will find a shocking growth story. In 2010, Bitcoin was only $0.25; by 2025, the price has reached $88,000. From a few cents to tens of thousands of dollars, this digital asset has accompanied many through these 15 Christmases.

In the early exploratory stage, Bitcoin was still testing the waters. In 2010, it was $0.25; in 2011, it jumped to $4; in 2012, it only rose to $13. It seems like a slow growth rate, but this is precisely the process of building momentum—each early holder witnessing the birth of a new phenomenon.

The turning point came quickly. In 2013, it surged to $682; in 2014, it retraced to $319; the price began to show significant volatility. Christmas 2015 was set at $456 (a benchmark later frequently cited), and in 2016, it continued upward to $896.

The real acceleration started in 2017. That year's Christmas price soared to $14,027; then, in 2018, after a correction, it dropped to $3,815; in 2019, it rebounded to $7,275. 2020 marked a turning point, with the price skyrocketing to $24,665.

In 2021, it reached a historic high of $50,430, witnessing the frenzy of that bull market. After falling back to $16,831 in 2022, it stabilized at $43,665 in 2023. 2024 set a new record—$98,200, creating the highest Christmas price in history. And as of 2025, although it retraced to $88,000, this is already 192 times the Christmas price in 2015.

From $456 to $88,000, what happened over ten years? Market cycles, technological iterations, institutional entry—all leaving their marks on the price.

ngl the $0.25 to $88k pipeline is literally the most unhinged thesis i've ever seen actually play out... like statistically that's just cope-level returns, right? the p-value on "hodl through 15 christmases" is probably p < 0.000001 levels of absurd

Wait, even $98,200 in 2024 didn't hold? This correction is quite harsh.

After reading this history... I just remembered myself at the end of 2017, fully invested and chasing the $14k high. Now I am truly a professional leek haha. From $0.25 to $88k, this is the process of my tuition fee from a few digits to five digits. Back in the early days at $456, if I had really held on, I wouldn't be analyzing and stepping on pits every day now, but look at my trading records—full of artistic reverse operations. When I hit a new high of $98k, I just happened to clear my position to buy the dip in Dogecoin. This move is a textbook case of negative alpha, the king of underperformance.

Wow, it was only 456 yuan in 2015, and now it's 192 times higher? Why didn't I buy more?
