How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2009?

In the very early days of Bitcoin, there were no exchanges that look anything like the offerings today. But there was at least one exchange established in the first year since Bitcoin’s inception.

The BitcoinTalk forum went online in late 2009 and soon enough one regular proposed the idea of an exchange where people could buy and sell Bitcoins for fiat currency. Keep in mind that this was when the block reward was 50 BTC and there were very few people mining.

The BitcoinTalk forum member NewLibertyStandard set up New Liberty Standard Exchange, and another forum user — Sirius — sent him 5050 BTC in exchange for $5.02 through PayPal. This puts the first recorded price at which Bitcoin exchanged hands at $0.00099/BTC.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2010?

Bitcoin’s price never topped $1 in 2010! Its highest price for the year was just $0.39!

2010 is the year in which the famous purchase of two Dominos pizzas for 10,000 BTC took place.

BitcoinTalk forum member laszlo offered the following trade:

I’ll pay 10,000 bitcoins for a couple of pizzas.. like maybe 2 large ones so I have some left over for the next day. I like having left over pizza to nibble on later. You can make the pizza yourself and bring it to my house or order it for me from a delivery place, but what I’m aiming for is getting food delivered in exchange for bitcoins where I don’t have to order or prepare it myself, kind of like ordering a ‘breakfast platter’ at a hotel or something, they just bring you something to eat and you’re happy!

I like things like onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms, tomatoes, pepperoni, etc.. just standard stuff no weird fish topping or anything like that. I also like regular cheese pizzas which may be cheaper to prepare or otherwise acquire.

If you’re interested please let me know and we can work out a deal.

2010 also saw the opening of the infamous Bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox in July.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2011?

Bitcoin Price during 2011

Bitcoin’s adoption started to pick up steam in 2011. The Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) accepted Bitcoins as donations for a couple of months in 2011. Due to lack of legal precedent surrounding virtual currencies this arrangement was quickly rescinded, though this was later reversed in 2013 when the EFF began accepting Bitcoin again.

On February 9th, 2011, BTC reached a value of USD$1.00 for the first time ever. A few months later, in June, the price of one Bitcoin hit $10, then $30 on Mt. Gox. This represented a 100x appreciation since the beginning of the year, when the price of Bitcoin hovered around $0.30.

By the end of the year Bitcoin was trading just under $5, but at least two important psychological barriers had been broken.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2012?

Bitcoin Price during 2012

Bitcoin had a relatively flat 2012, trading within a $0.50 range of $5.00 for the first half of the year.

It then reached its yearly peak at the end of December, hitting a high of $13.45.

In November 2012, Bitcoin underwent its first ever halving. This dropped the block reward from 50 BTC to 25 BTC.

2012 also saw the creation of the influential Bitcoin Foundation by Gavin Andresen, Jon Matonis, Patrick Murck, Charlie Shrem, and Peter Vessenes. The Foundation’s goal is to «accelerate the global growth of Bitcoin through standardization, protection, and promotion of the open source protocol».

WordPress became the first major company to begin accepting Bitcoin for payment in 2012. The online content management system provider did this in response to PayPal’s censorship.

PayPal alone blocks access from over 60 countries, and many credit card companies have similar restrictions. Some are blocked for political reasons, some because of higher fraud rates, and some for other financial reasons. Whatever the reason, we don’t think an individual blogger from Haiti, Ethiopia, or Kenya should have diminished access to the blogosphere because of payment issues they can’t control. Our goal is to enable people, not block them.”

Though WordPress’s move was a big one for the four year-old cryptocurrency, the company wasn’t handling Bitcoin transactions itself. Rather, it used BitPay, which was founded in 2011 and by October 2012 had grown to processing Bitcoin payments for more than 1,000 merchants.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2013?

Bitcoin Price during 2013

2013 saw the first major spike in the price of Bitcoin since 2011. From $13.00 at the beginning of the year, Bitcoin hit nearly $250 in April. It then cooled off for a while, before experiencing another rapid appreciation to over $1,100 in December of that year.

Bitcoin punched through $100 easily, though $1,000 proved to be a tougher psychological resistance level. Despite reaching prices that early Bitcoiners had only ever dreamed about, it took more than three years for the price to reach $1,000 again. The drawdown reached -85% at its bottom and the price of Bitcoin was relatively flat for years.

Bitcoin’s record-breaking run pushed the cryptocurrency’s market capitalization over $1 billion for the first time ever. It also attracted a lot of attention. In February of 2013, Coinbase reported selling more than $1 million worth of Bitcoin at an average price of $22.

The world’s first Bitcoin ATM was installed in Vancouver, allowing people to turn their cash into crypto.

The internet’s first cryptocurrency also gained some notoriety after the People’s Bank of China prohibited Chinese financial institutions from transacting in Bitcoins. This came in December 2013 and led to the shutdown of BTC China — at that time the world’s largest Bitcoin exchanges — and a sudden drop in price.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2014?

Bitcoin Price during 2014

2014 got off to a good start, but things quickly turned sour for Bitcoin.

Just one month after it closed, BTC China reopened for trading and Chinese Yuan deposits in January 2014.

However, in February Mt. Gox – still one of the largest and most important crypto exchanges – suspended withdrawals. Users had been reporting issues with withdrawals for months, but the exchange called it quits once and for all and filed for bankruptcy. It also reported that it had lost 744,000 BTC of user funds.

The price of Bitcoin reacted by selling off more than 55% from the beginning of February to April.

Despite the bear market, a number of big companies announced their support for Bitcoin. Overstock.com began accepting Bitcoin for all purchases on its website, as did Microsoft in the Xbox and Windows stores.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2015?

Bitcoin Price during 2015

The price of Bitcoin in 2015 started off weakly, with a -50% selloff in the first two weeks of the year. This included a -24% drop in just one day on the 14th of January. This may have been inspired by the announcement from prominent European exchange Bitstamp that they had lost 19,000 BTC in a hack. Coinbase had better news, though, as the exchange raised $75 million in its Series C funding round.

$150 marked the local bottom for the year, though. In fact, January 2015 was the last time you could ever buy 1 BTC for $150. The price of Bitcoin topped $500 for the first time in over a year later in 2015.

In June, the New York State Department of Financial Services began its investigation into Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. This investigation would eventually lead to the creation of the BitLicense.

In November, the Unicode Committee adopted the current Bitcoin currency symbol (₿), giving the internet’s first widespread native currency its own character.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2016?

Bitcoin Price during 2016

2016 saw the Bitcoin network’s hash rate top 1 exahash/second. The hash rate reflects the amount of computing power committed to Bitcoin and is an important measure of the strength of the network.

The price of Bitcoin continued its slow but steady appreciation over the course of the year. After a spike to $750 in June, Bitcoin retraced before closing the year just shy of the all-important $1,000 mark.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2017?

Bitcoin Price during 2017

2017 is a year that lives in crypto history. As you can see in the chart above, the year saw a steady appreciation in the price of Bitcoin followed by a huge blow-off top to nearly $20,000.

This 1,300% increase in price wasn’t the largest yearly growth – that title belongs to 2013 with its 6,600% gains – but it was the first time that Bitcoin truly broke into the mainstream of public opinion.

A $19,000 Bitcoin is impossible to ignore.

Bitcoin once again broke the $1,000 resistance on January 1st for the first time in three years, and after the 28th of March it never revisited that level.

The massive appreciation in price over the course of 2017 was driven in part by strong retail interest in the cryptocurrency. Trading volume on Bitso — Mexico’s leading exchange — grew 1,500% in the six months ending March 2017. Poloniex experienced 600% growth in the number of active traders on its platform throughout the year.

Despite the huge increase in price and subsequent attention paid to Bitcoin, 2017 was not without difficulty for the cryptocurrency. This was the year of one of the most contentious and hotly-debated events in Bitcoin history: the Bitcoin Cash hard fork.

While many were concerned about the effects of this fork on Bitcoin, with the benfit of four years’ hindisght its safe to say that Bitcoin Cash lost the war it started. Today, its market capitalization is less than 1% of Bitcoin’s.

On December 11, Bitcoin futures trading opened at the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the largest U.S. options exchange. Bitcoin rallied 12% that day, though its stellar run came to an end just five days later. The high of $19,000 would not be broken for almost three more years.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2018?

Bitcoin Price during 2018

2018 was a tough year for many in Bitcoin, both seasoned investors and those new to the space who had been attracted by the hype of 2017.

Bitcoin’s year-on-year (YoY) return for 2018 was a painful -73%.

Google, Twitter and Facebook all passed bans on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency advertisements on their platforms, with the latter claiming that they were «frequently associated with misleading or deceptive promotional practices.»

Bitcoin closed 2018 at $3,693 – more than $10,000 down from where it ended the previous year.

The good news for investors (though they wouldn’t know it just yet) was that the bottom of Bitcoin’s bear market had come on December 15, when the price hit $3,122.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2019?

Bitcoin Price Today & History Chart

2019 was a rollercoaster ride for Bitcoin hodlers. Starting the year under $4,000, the price of Bitcoin rose nearly $10,000 to hit $13,880 by the middle of the year.

Yet these gains did not prove to be sustainable. Bitcoin bled out over the next six months, a handful of pumps notwithstanding, and ended up closing the year around $7,160.

Still, the bounce from $3,500 to $13,500 proved that Bitcoin was not dead, despite the naysayers of the 2018 bear market.

2019 set the stage for what would prove to be one of the most extreme years in Bitcoin’s history: 2020.

How Much was 1 Bitcoin Worth in 2020?

Bitcoin Price Today & History Chart

Bitcoin rose strongly from $7,000 at the beginning of the year to more than $10,000 in mid-February.

$10,000 proved to be a critical level for Bitcoin throughout the year, though it would take until October for the price to leave the $10,000s once and for all.

First came the March crash. Triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic, a global liquidity event, and exchange liquidation engines run amok, Bitcoin sold off nearly 40% on March 12. It hit a low of $3,850 before doubling in price over the next six weeks.

Bitcoin then entered a months-long accumulation pattern, before charging above $10,000 in late July. It hit a high of over $12,000 before dumping back to below $10,000 in early September.

This proved to be the final fakeout, though. From September to the end of the year, the price of Bitcoin rallied 185% to close at just under $29,000. This was more than $10,000 above the previous all time high set in 2017.

From the agonizing March crash to the parabolic move into the end of the year, 2020 was a year of extreme highs and lows for Bitcoin.

This was driven in part by institutional investment. MicroStrategy’s purchase of more than $1 billion worth of Bitcoin at an average price of $15,964 over the course of 2020 made headlines. So did the Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, spending more than $100 million on Bitcoin. This was a watershed moment for the cryptocurrency, as insurance companies are known to be conservative in their investments.

2020 proved that Bitcoin can bounce back strongly from major global events. In fact, it may even be stronger as a result. Many investors are looking to Bitcoin as a safe store of value in the face of unprecedented money printing in many countries.

While it’s impossible to tell the future, one thing is for sure: 2021 is shaping up to be just as important a year in the history of Bitcoin.

If you are looking to buy or sell Bitcoin, Binance is currently the most active exchange. What is Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency. It is a decentralized digital currency that is based on cryptography. As such, it can operate without the need of a central authority like a central bank or a company. It is unlike government-issued or fiat currencies such as US Dollars or Euro in which they are controlled by the country’s central bank. The decentralized nature allows it to operate on a peer-to-peer network whereby users are able to send funds to each other without going through intermediaries. For more information on Bitcoin, do read CoinGecko’s How to Bitcoin book. Who created Bitcoin? The creator is an unknown individual or group that goes by the name Satoshi Nakamoto with the idea of an electronic peer-to-peer cash system as it is written in a whitepaper. Until today, the true identity of Satoshi Nakamoto has not been verified though there has been speculation and rumor as to who Satoshi might be. When was Bitcoin launched? It was launched in January 2009 with the first genesis block mined on 9th January 2009. How does Bitcoin work? While the general public perceives Bitcoin as some kind of physical looking coin, it is actually far from that. Under the hood, it is actually a distributed accounting ledger that is stored in a form of a chain of blocks, hence the name blockchain. In a centralized system like the ones operated by a commercial bank, given a situation where Alice wants to transact with Bob, the bank is the only entity that holds the ledger that describes how much balance Alice and Bob has. As the bank maintains the ledger, they will do the verification as to whether Alice has enough funds to send to Bob. Finally when the transaction successfully takes place, the Bank will deduct Alice’s account and credit Bob’s account with the latest amount. Bitcoin conversely works in a decentralized manner. Since there is no central figure like a bank to verify the transactions and maintain the ledger, a copy of the ledger is distributed across Bitcoin nodes. A node is a piece of software that anybody can download and run to participate in the network. With that, everybody has a copy of how much balance Alice and Bob has, and there will be no dispute of fund balance. Now, if Alice were to transact with Bob using bitcoin. Alice will have to broadcast her transaction to the network that she intends to send $1 to Bob in equivalent amount of bitcoin. How would the system be able to determine that she has enough bitcoin to execute the transaction and also to ensure she does not double spend that same amount. Here is where mining takes place. A Bitcoin miner will use his or her computer rigs to validate Alice’s transaction to be added into the ledger. In order to stop a miner from adding any arbitrary transactions, they will need to solve a complex puzzle. Only if the miner is able to solve the puzzle (called the Proof of Work), which happens at random, then he or she is able to add the transactions into the ledger and the record is final. Since running these computer rigs cost money due to capital expenditure for buying the rigs and the cost of electricity, miners are rewarded with new supply of bitcoins that is part of its monetary system and some amount of fees paid by the person who wishes to transact (in this case it is Alice). This makes the Bitcoin ledger resilient against fraud in a trustless manner. While it is resilient, there are still some risks associated with the system such as the 51% attack where by miners control more than 51% of the total computation power and also there can be security risks outside of the control of the Bitcoin protocol. How to keep your Bitcoin safe? When transacting coins, you would typically be doing it on your personal computer. Since your personal computer is connected to the internet, it has the potential to be infected by malware or spywares which could compromise your funds. Hardware wallets such as Trezor and Ledger are strongly encouraged in mitigating that risk. These are external devices that look like USB sticks. A hardware wallet secures your private key that holds your Bitcoin into an external device outside of your personal computer. When you intend to transact, you would connect the hardware wallet into your personal computer, and all the key signing in order to transact would be done in the hardware itself outside of your computer. However, if you physically lose your hardware wallet without a key phrase backup, there is no other way of recovering your funds ever. As such when setting up your hardware wallet, always remember to keep a copy of the key phrase and put it somewhere safe from fire or flood. Bitcoin Halving Bitcoin Halving or sometimes also known as the Halvening, refers to the reduction of block reward to miners by half. This is part of its built-in monetary policy, in which after every approximately 4 years, the mining reward will be halved towards the limited capped supply of 21 million Bitcoin. Once 21 million of Bitcoin have been minted, there will no longer be new supply of it rewarded to miners, and miners are expected to earn revenue by way of transaction fees. In order to follow the real time of when the halving will take place, you can bookmark the CoinGecko’s bitcoin halving page. This is seen as a significant event for couple of reasons. Firstly, traders may speculate on the possible scarcity of Bitcoin making way to high volatility. Secondly, as miners’ rewards will be reduced, we may see some miners exiting the market as they could not sustain the lower profitability. This in turn may cause the hashing rate to reduce and mining pools may consolidate. Due to this, the bitcoin network may be a little unstable during the halving period. Is Bitcoin a good investment? We do not provide investment advice. The price of bitcoin started off as zero and made its way to the market price you see today. It appears that the market is placing value for the following reasons. Digital Gold — It is a viable digital store of value due to its digital scarcity Payment — Almost instant and low cost transaction with anyone on the internet Speculation — This may be due to inefficiency in the market, but there are people speculating that Bitcoin may be the asset class of the future That being said, Bitcoin comes with risks. In order to determine for yourself if it is a good investment, it is important to understand the risk and only invest amount that you are comfortable losing. There is a probability of Bitcoin price going to zero. This can happen if the project fails, a critical software bug is found, or there are newer more innovative digital currencies that would take over its place. If you recall Bitcoin was worth nearly $20,000 in 16th December 2017. But in 17th December 2018, the price of Bitcoin was at its low of about $3,200. Bitcoin is a highly volatile asset class and requires a high risk appetite. As much as Bitcoin is a digital gold, it has only been around for about 10 years. In comparison to gold which has been a widely known store of value for over hundreds of years. Can I short Bitcoin? Yes, as bitcoin has grown to become more widely adopted, there are various derivative products being launched that allows you to short sell bitcoin. If you are an institutional investor, CME and Bakkt provide regulated bitcoin futures products which you can participate to long or short bitcoin. Alternatively, there are many other cryptocurrency derivative exchanges such as BitMEX, Binance Futures, FTX, Deribit, and more. These derivative exchanges are not formally regulated and can provide even up to 100x leverage. Derivative contracts are high risk products, you might want to understand what you are doing before participating in it.
