In November 2021, during one of the largest bull markets, the price of Bitcoin reached $69,000.
However, during 2014 and 2017, Bitcoin experienced several hard forks, with various factions within the community attempting to alter the direction of Bitcoin. Despite intense debates and multiple forks, Bitcoin today remains robust, with the combined market value of forked coins comprising less than 1% of Bitcoin's total market value.
Another landmark in the price history of Bitcoin is the halving event, which occurs approximately every four years and reduces the mining rate of new bitcoins. The next halving event is expected around May 2024. Many investors consider halving events as one of the most significant factors influencing Bitcoin prices. However, the exact impact and extent of the effect on prices remain a topic of ongoing debate. |
