Bitcoin up 500% Since Historic Crash Below $16,000 Two Years Ago

by

As a seasoned crypto investor with a knack for spotting opportunities amidst market turmoil, I can confidently say that the cryptocurrency world never ceases to surprise us. Two years ago, when Bitcoin plummeted below $16,000, many investors were left shaken. But for those who saw it as a golden opportunity, like me, we’ve been handsomely rewarded with returns over 500%.

Two years ago today, Bitcoin experienced a significant plunge, dipping below $16,000. This steep drop created apprehension among many investors, yet for those who seized the opportunity, it has proven to be incredibly rewarding. BTC analyst Pete Rizzo, posting on X (previously known as Twitter), reminisced about this event, commenting, “Two years ago today, Bitcoin fell below $16k. Those who purchased at the dip have seen a return of over 500%.

In November, it was two years since FTX filed for bankruptcy, an event that significantly disrupted the crypto market and caused Bitcoin prices to plummet. Reminiscent of its pattern, the crypto world has once again gained prominence in 2023.

Bitcoin approached a surge toward the $100,000 milestone, setting a new peak. At the point of writing, the leading digital currency increased by 2.34%, trading at $99,050. Earlier, it had touched a record high of $99,543. Since early November, the cryptocurrency market has seen an increase worth over one trillion dollars.

Bitcoin up 500% since 2022 crash

According to Rizzo’s analysis, Bitcoin has experienced an increase of more than 500% since it dipped below $16,000 two years ago. This recent surge in confidence has overshadowed the recollection of a market crash that occurred in 2022. This crash happened concurrently with the downfall of several crypto platforms, including Sam Bankman-Fried’s FTX cryptocurrency exchange.

The present trend of Bitcoin might suggest that the cryptocurrency sector has completely bounced back following the incidents of 2022. Now that the bull market is thriving once more, two years on from the FTX event, it’s clear that the world of crypto has undergone a permanent transformation.

Bitcoin’s latest surge towards $100,000 is being fueled by positive sentiments within the cryptocurrency sector. If today ends positively, Bitcoin will have recorded its fifth consecutive day of growth.

The most recent US developments included Securities and Exchange Commission Chair Gary Gensler’s decision to step down on Jan. 20. Gensler’s tenure was marked by a flurry of SEC crypto enforcement actions, which the industry anticipates will subside.

The company MicroStrategy, which specializes in Bitcoin, intends to quicken its acquisition of the cryptocurrency. Additionally, the launch of options for U.S. Bitcoin exchange-traded funds has boosted optimism this week. Over the past few weeks, a collection of around 12 U.S. ETFs that invest in Bitcoin have experienced a net increase of over $6.8 billion. The total assets managed by this group now surpass $100 billion.
