Today, September 8, 2023 is 10 years since the price of #Bitcoin first crossed the $1.00 threshold. This was a major #milestone for Bitcoin, as it marked the beginning of its #acceptance as a legitimate currency.

It showed that the currency was capable of gaining #mainstream #acceptance and that it had the potential to be a viable alternative to traditional currencies. In the years since, #Bitcoin has continued to grow in popularity and its price has fluctuated wildly. However, the $1.00 milestone remains an important marker in the history of Bitcoin.
