The post 13 Years Since Bitcoin First Hit $100 appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News
On April 1, 2013, Bitcoin traded above $100 for the first time, a major milestone in its early market journey. Just four years earlier, Bitcoin had little to no monetary value. The surge past $100 came during a period of rising global financial stress, including the Cyprus banking crisis, which increased demand for alternatives to traditional banks.
