Tough times don't last, tough people do. Every major Bitcoin crash in history: 2011: -94% ($32 → $2) New ATH in 29 months: $1,150 2013-15: -87% ($1,150 → $150) New ATH in 35 months: $19,300 2017-18: -84% ($19,300 → $3,200) New ATH in 35 months: $69,000 2021-22: -77% ($69,000 → $15,500) New ATH in 16 months: $73,800 2025-26: -52% ($126,000 → $60,000) Recovery time: TBD The pattern holds: Bitcoin doesn't just recover, it obliterates previous highs. Every crash looked like the end. Every recovery proved them wrong.
