Bitcoin crosses $1,000 for the first time since the 2013 crash, reclaiming the milestone after three long years in the wilderness. The price had collapsed from $1,100 to under $200 following the Mt. Gox disaster and China's first ban. This recovery signals the start of the legendary 2017 bull run that would carry BTC to nearly $20,000 by December. Those who held through the bear market are vindicated -- and HODL culture is forged in fire.
