Bitcoin's Volatile Price History Raises Questions About Next Market Crash

Bitcoin's price history has been marked by periods of rapid growth and sharp declines. In its first decade, the cryptocurrency experienced a recession and three major crypto winters, which significantly impacted its value.

During this time, Bitcoin rose by approximately 13,600%, but also saw steep declines. For instance, it reached $20,000 in 2017, only to sink as low as $3,200 during the crypto crash of 2018-2020.
