In 2012, Bitcoin's price started around $5, gradually gaining traction as awareness grew. By mid-2012, it reached $10, doubling its value. The latter half of 2012 saw significant growth, with prices climbing to around $13 by year-end. The real surge began in 2013, driven by increased media attention and adoption. By April 2013, Bitcoin hit $266, only to crash to around $50 shortly after due to exchange issues. However, it rebounded strongly, reaching over $1,000 by November 2013, fueled by speculative interest and growing acceptance. This period marked Bitcoin's transition from a niche digital currency to a mainstream financial asset.
