Bitcoin hit $100? No jokes. Learn the truth & Get 50% OFF with code APRILGIFT50 [24 hours only]
Bitcoin Was $100 Thirteen Years Ago Today. No, Really.
If someone told you Bitcoin once traded at $100, you'd assume it was an April Fools' joke. But it isn't.
Thirteen years ago this week, Bitcoin did the unthinkable and crossed the $100 milestone for the very first time. Back then, critics laughed and called it a bubble. Today, it’s financial history.
Today, that same $100 feels like ancient history. But the story of how we got from there to here is worth remembering.
The Stats That Still Feel Unreal
- The Million-Dollar Pizza.
In 2010, a programmer named Laszlo Hanyecz paid 10,000 BTC for two pizzas, the first real-world Bitcoin transaction. By the time Bitcoin hit $100 in April 2013, those two pizzas had become worth $1,000,000. Today, that same order would cost over $800 million.
- The Billion-Dollar Club.
Crossing $100 pushed Bitcoin's total market cap past $1 billion for the very first time. At the time, that number seemed almost absurd to most people. Now it barely moves the needle.
- The Supply Squeeze.
Just over 11 million BTC were in circulation back then, compared to nearly 20 million today. The scarcity that Bitcoin was built around was already doing its thing.
What Actually Changed Since Then
The critics who called Bitcoin a bubble at $100 went quiet somewhere around $1,000, then again around $10,000. The asset that was written off as a niche internet experiment became one of the most debated financial topics of the last decade. Whether you love it or hate it, nobody's ignoring it anymore.
