Bitcoin reaching new Heights: A Great 2025 Up Ahead?
The Journey of Bitcoin has seen some remarkable roller — coaster ride from its inception in 2008 and the story continues to soar in 2025. From being ridiculed at the beginning of 2010s to being hailed as the “Digital Gold” as the new decades come along, it has certainly come a long way in a span of couple years. Let us look upon the Historic rise of Bitcoin to its peak in 2024 and can this be a catalyst for the DeFI Space heading into 2025?
Six Figures Finally……
For years now, the term “Bitcoin” iS synonymous to the Cryptocurrency Space as it sits on the pinnacle of the Market Cap amongst other Cryptocurrency. The journey that started as a revolution toward the traditional finance space and fiat currency which grew unsustainable as we head into the 20th century has gone on to be fond and adored by the whole community along with institutions who are willing to seize on the once in a lifetime opportunity.
This revolutionary idea behind Bitcoin may be traced back 40 years in history before the Bitcoin whitepaper was introduced in 2009. It goes to a brief invention called Digicash which became the first implementation of a Digital Currency created by David Chaum in 1989. Digicash was popular across its own community as the first and only way to send money online but over the years failed to gain massive adoption from the worldwide audience.
This Idea was perfected by many banks and financial institutions with the rise of the internet as a way to expand financial services to the world helping create easier transactions. Credit Card and Internet Banking achieve a part of the idea laid out by David Chaum but its centralization and security still present an issue that needs to be tackled. Bitcoin with its Blockchain Technology was created anonymously in the wake of the Great Depression in the hope to solve some of these concerns.
Bitcoin’s main appeal to the financial space lies in its Decentralized Nature which unlike the Traditional Financial Space, operates through a Peer to Peer Network of independent communities without the need of central authorities. Bitcoin was also defined as a Cryptocurrency due to “Cryptography” as a means to secure every transaction within the blockchain and its halving mechanism which maintains its supply over the foreseeable future.
Bitcoin then in the wake of the Financial Crash was seen as a Fresh breath of change to the traditional financial space and its deflationary was seen appealing to many. Bitcoin then in the 2010s was popular amongst the Tech community as people see the potential in all its features but struggle to determine its value or use case in its real life. This confusion was exemplified in the now famous “Bitcoin Pizza Day” where Laszlo Heyneckz exchanged 10,000 BTC for 2 Pizzas in 2010, now worth Billions of dollars.
Bitcoin first received its value in the same year 2010 as the first Cryptocurrency Exchange named “BitcoinMarket.com” was announced in March. For the first time, users can exchange Bitcoin over the platform and its value quickly grew from a measly $0.30 in 2010 to the peak of $29 in 2011. This began to draw the attention of the larger community towards Bitcoin and its user base quickly skyrocketed to millions of people.
Like all good things unfortunately the 2010s didn’t really come to a great start as Bitcoin would come back down to $5 by the end of 2011. Bitcoin would then achieve its next goal of breaking $100 in April of 2013 before ultimating reaching the $1,000 mark in November. Its rise grew more rapid as the 2010s rolled by and generally many different innovations to the cryptocurrency space building to the DeFI Space we know as of today.
Bitcoin forms the catalyst for the rise of the DeFI Space and its role transitioned from its original vision of being a Digital Currency to Digital Asset which people Trade or Hold. 2017 then became another remarkable year for Bitcoin spurred by the 2nd Halving, its value grew from reaching $2,000 mark in May to closing the year by reaching another milestone of breaking the $10,000 mark by November and ending at $19,188 in December.
Bitcoin quickly established itself as the fastest growing asset within the 2010s beating more matured assets such as Gold, Stocks or Bonds and its adoption quickly grew as everybody wanted to get their hands on this elusive asset. From Retail Investors to Institutions, Bitcoin Mining farms became a trend in the late 2010s and expectations were high as it would skyrocket towards the late 2010s before the Covid Pandemic became a humbling experience.
Bitcoin would achieve in the early 2020s breaking the $50,000 Mark in May of 2021 before settling into its all time high by November that year. Its remarkable achievement would transition its role once again as Institutions and even governments are looking to finally adopt Bitcoin as its reserves and investment instruments. It would lead to a 3 year back and forth fight for Bitcoin to finally reach its next milestone of breaking six figures in late 2024. With this kind of momentum, who knows where its ultimate potential might be in the near future.
A Great 2025?
Looking back to history, analysis and predictions will always preface that Bitcoin momentum is going to continue for as long as it can be and it might be that way. Bitcoin and the general DeFI Space will always look to break its milestones as Adoption and Interest continues to grow from time to time but it also will have some neutralizing period as it gains momentum. Right now we are seeing this factor into effect as Bitcoin hovers within $70,000 and $80,000 in March 2025.
What is for certain is that the Rise of Value in Bitcoin always triggers a Great Period for the other Digital Asset and the whole DeFI Space to grow exponentially. We see this in 2017 where concepts such as Stablecoin and Dex start to take shape while also in 2021 with concepts such as Tokenization and NFTs becoming the adoring factor for the community. A Great 2025 may also lie in the adoption of concepts such as Artificial Intelligence and Real World Assets by the community.
External Factors may also play a part as high interest rates may discourage investment towards the DeFI Space while failing market value could lead to investors switching to safer assets. The Election of many new leaders including President Trump and a clear regulation framework in fostering the development of the DeFI Space may provide a fresh air to many analysts hoping that Bitcoin will end in a record breaking high in 2025.
Through its decades-long journey of ups and downs, Bitcoin is still trying to find its maturity and adoption amongst the global community while volatility still remains in the shadows. No one ever knows the next move of Bitcoin in the future but it’s always about when it will break its Six Figures Milestone again. With the enormous adoption and development that is continually going on within the DeFI Space, it should leave you with a taste of excitement of what’s to come in 2025!
