Here is the historical price chart of Bitcoin on Christmas, and interestingly, the story behind these data points.

In early 2013, Bitcoin was only $666 on Christmas, then the next year it plummeted to $323. In 2015, it slightly rose to $455, but by 2016 it broke through $899, showing some signs of recovery.

The real turning point was 2017 — Bitcoin surged to $13,926 on Christmas, demonstrating the madness of that bull market. Immediately after, in 2018, it halved to $4,079, another painful drop.

The following years became more interesting. In 2019, it rebounded to $7,323; by Christmas 2020, it reached $23,736; 2021 was even more outrageous, soaring to $50,822. In 2022, it retraced to $16,822; last year (2023), it hit a new high of $43,665; and this year (2024), on Christmas, it reached a new peak of $94,120.

Currently in 2025, it has retraced to $87,740. Looking at the entire cycle, from three digits to five digits, Bitcoin’s story is like a roller coaster — each Christmas tells a different market story.

Oh my god, in 2017 it surged to 13926 and was immediately taught a lesson... This roller coaster is more exciting than a theme park ride.

actually, if we examine these price swings through the lens of pure volatility metrics... the 2017 peak to 2018 crash is literally textbook boom-bust cycle behavior. empirically speaking, that's when institutional fear really kicked in. ngl the $666 → $94k trajectory hits different when you realize most people bought at the tops lmao

Oh my, that wave in 2017 really made people doubt life with all the gains Just looking at the numbers from 666 to 94120 is already outrageous... but I have no holdings, so I just watch for fun The 2018 halving probably caused many people to jump off buildings, just thinking about it hurts By the way, what does 87740 mean now? Is it time to get on board or continue to watch and wait, everyone? Riding this roller coaster for over ten years, some people made a fortune, some went bankrupt, it's that simple

After so many years of playing, I still think the 2017 cycle was the craziest, $13926 completely blew people's minds. $666 to now $87740, the level of absurdity is truly unmatched... This is Bitcoin. Every Christmas redefines the wealth gap haha. The cut in 2018 was the most painful, even now looking back it still makes me twitch. From three digits to five digits, the early entrants probably achieved financial freedom long ago. But on the other hand, the fluctuations are actually decreasing as the data progresses, it's a bit different.

theoretically speaking, if we map these christmas price points as a recursive state machine... the volatility patterns actually mirror cross-chain settlement latencies? $666 to $87k is basically going from single-rollup to full interoperability across the entire blockchain trilemma 🧵

Wow, that 13,926 in 2017 was really crazy. I was still debating whether to go all in back then, haha.
