The Bitcoin (BTC-USD) chart, explained
Bitcoin is the original cryptocurrency and the bellwether for the entire digital-asset market. Its price history is defined by roughly four-year boom-and-bust cycles, each with a towering peak and a yawning bear-market valley.
From a few thousand dollars in 2017 to nearly $69,000 in 2021, down to the mid-teens in 2022, then to fresh all-time highs after US spot ETFs launched in 2024 — the chart is a series of dramatic mountains that make for one of the most epic tracks in StonkRider.

Bitcoin chart FAQ
Why does Bitcoin move in cycles?
Its supply schedule (with roughly four-year 'halving' events) and waves of adoption and speculation have historically produced multi-year boom-and-bust cycles.
Does the BTC track cover the whole history?
It uses Bitcoin's real historical prices, so you ride the actual peaks and crashes of its major cycles.
