Man tracking Bitcoin prices posts eerily similar video of it reaching 'highest price' 11 years apart

It just goes to show that good things come to those who wait

A guy has been dubbed a 'legend' for recreating a viral video from 11 years ago.

Back in 2013, Isaac Miller took to YouTube to celebrate Bitcoin hitting a new high of $100 at market summary, four years on from the cryptocurrency being launched.

There's limited data about Bitcoin about its first year, but it's said that by 2010, it was worth $0.40 per coin.

Fast forward to June 2011, and it hit almost $30, BankRate reports, which seemed somewhat impossible.

It quickly crashed though and finished the year at $4.20.

It was in April 2013 that it hit new highs and surpassed $100 - a moment Isaac documented in a video.

"I'm right here, watching history be made," he said in the 11-year-old clip.

"Bitcoin is now up to $111. It's an all time high and it's continuing to rise.

"I've seen it break three times today and it went up to $110, and this is the highest that its been. It's ridiculous."

And Isaac, an original Bitcoin investor, was right when he said it was continuing to rise as just a few days later it peaked at $230.

But these figures are now pocket change for those who have held onto their Bitcoin cryptocurrency over the years as it recently hit a whopping $100,000.

To mark the momentous occasion, Isaac reenacted his viral video almost word-for-word, but said $100,000 instead of $110.

The original clip has garnered more than 5.5 million views in the three years since it was posted to YouTube.

Isaac posted the video on Thursday (December 5) and in the last 48 hours, the price of Bitcoin has marginally dropped.

At the time of writing, Bitcoin's market summary is at just over $99,750.

People have since reacted to Isaac's new video, and it's safe to say people are loving it - particularly when it's shown side-by-side with his 2013 clip.

"From $100 to $100k. What a legend," one person said.

Another added: "Lmao classic, at least I was here for this one. See yall at $1,000,000!"

A third went on: "History in the making! Let's come back here when we hit 250K, 500k and 1 million!"

While it seems like a hefty figure to achieve, some financial experts have predicted that Bitcoin could be worth an eye-watering $1.5 million by 2030.

As per Fortune, last year Ark Invest made its hopes clear about the cryptocurrency and even said that it 'could be the most compelling monetary asset since gold'.

Part of its 2023 report read: "We believe Bitcoin’s long-term opportunity is strengthening.

"Despite a turbulent year, Bitcoin has not skipped a beat. Its network fundamentals have strengthened and its holder base has become more long-term focused. Contagion caused by centralized counterparties has elevated Bitcoin’s value propositions: decentralization, auditability, and transparency.

"The price of one Bitcoin could exceed $1 million in the next decade."
