Bitcoin's January 4 price tag tells quite a story over the years. Starting from virtually nothing in 2009-2010, BTC was trading at pocket change—just 30 cents by 2011. Fast forward to 2012 and you're looking at $5.40, then the real climb kicks in. By 2013, we hit $13.50, but here's where it gets wild: 2014 jumped to $760. Sure, there was a pullback to $287 in 2015, but 2016 saw recovery at $431. The momentum accelerated dramatically—2017 hit $1,047, then 2018 exploded to $15,036. After some cooling in 2019 ($3,843), Bitcoin found its footing again at $7,341 in 2020. The bull run was real: $31,329 in 2021, peak at $45,926 in 2022, despite the 2023 dip to $16,863. But late 2024 bounced back strong at $44,180, and by 2025, Bitcoin crushed through to $98,236. What happens next? The chart leaves 2026 blank—that's on you to call.

98,000 dollars... This time it's really going to break 100,000, right? It feels like 2026 will be even crazier.

98k is about to break 100k, this wave is really crazy. Will it directly reach five digits in 2026?

If this 98k can still double and reach a new high, I will completely believe it.

98k has already been broken, what are you waiting for? Just double it by 2026 and it's all done.

What are you still hesitating for with 98k? To go all in or not to go all in, that's the question.
