Is Bitcoin still the same bet it was 18 years ago?

Oct 31 marked 18 years since Satoshi released the Bitcoin whitepaper. BitcoinMagazine's Halloween list tells it in one line: $200 in 2013, $61,840 in 2021, $109,604 in 2025, $77,400 in 2026.

Today $BTC trades near $77,923, up 0.72% in 24h, fear still at 34.

My take: this is not just a birthday post. The bigger story is how an experiment became the asset institutions argue over in portfolio models, while still sitting well below its 2025 print.

What must the next 18 years prove: adoption, or simply survival?

Not financial advice. DYOR.
