Bitcoin hit $1 USD for the first time in February 2011

Just a PSA: on February 9th, 2011, Bitcoin hit $1 USD for the first time - 2 years after its launch. It had already been declared dead once before this, at a price of $0.23 by “The Underground Economist,” and was well on its way to many more death declarations. Most of us here weren’t buying or mining BTC in 2011 - but imagine where it all began and the excitement miners would’ve felt at this huge milestone. We’ll eventually get through this bear market into crypto spring and start seeing rises again - feel our own versions of this excitement whether it’s through BTC, ETH, Reddit avatars, or another rising alt. We may not be early to crypto, but we’re not late, either. Remember to be smart with your money, avoid the fomo, and have an exit strategy for when the green candles return!
