It wasn’t shouted from the rooftops. In fact, the actual number might’ve hovered just below that line. But in crypto, even rounding errors can be historic. It was a moment of validation for a technology that had been dismissed (often gleefully) as nerd money or internet funny-money. Instead, Bitcoin had just earned a seat at the “unicorn” table,a title usually reserved for high-growth startups valued at over a billion dollars. Of course, comparing Bitcoin to a startup is a bit like comparing a currency to a share of Tesla. Not quite apples-to-apples. But still, the milestone mattered, and still does.
