Which means that only in 2013 Bitcoin had an increase of approximately 700%.\n\n![Grafica-2013-BTC.gif (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmU4qFxiY2mcKQqKfv38KyZrzg9myudgZAFdGHBpCSAkBu\/Grafica-2013-BTC.gif)\n\nFor 2014 things changed a bit,<br> after having spent 700 USD by the end of 2013 and having spent the 900 USD the first days of January,<br> this time the cryptoactive would be affected by regulations throughout the year that ended up hitting its value .\n\nThese measures included the prohibition of the use of Bitcoin by Russia and the impediment of China to allow financial institutions to trade with this or other cryptoactives. Finally,<br> in 2014 the value of BTC closed at USD312 per token,<br> which represents a decrease of approximately 50% compared to 2013.\n\n![Grafica-2014-BTC.gif (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmcowa1912hz1mfCkScJ84gkjdW7EtRDmvWbwYJVPgzA3D\/Grafica-2014-BTC.gif)\n\n2015 could be considered a \"stable\" year in Bitcoin,<br> as its value did not move much,<br> starting January it had an approximate price of 312 USD and closed the period with a unit price of 426 USD. This was basically due to the same regulatory measures that we mentioned but with the difference that very few companies decided to adopt the cryptoactive as a form of payment,<br> for which BTC closed with a gain of approximately 40%.\n\n![Grafica-2015-BTC.gif (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmagStXLZ1AzBdjnUdsLg3vgRVFoJCBV1tpULbjXp34jMS\/Grafica-2015-BTC.gif)\n\n2016 was a different year,<br> there are even those who would classify it as the year that prepared Bitcoin to shine,<br> because in that period the first cryptoactive rose more than 100%,<br> with positive performance,<br> starting January with a mark of 434 USD and ending December with a value of 961 USD per token.\n\nBy this time,<br> Bitcoin was a topical issue,<br> everyone was talking about it,<br> the term \"Bitcoin millionaire\" had been heard a bit earlier and people wanted to know more and more to make the decision to invest or not.\n\n![Grafica-2016-BTC.gif (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVZoLhABETEHjqz7C5NWPKzCLXTmEMJbjGJU3Ys59Edcm\/Grafica-2016-BTC.gif)\n\nIn 2017 the matter evolves even more,<br> knowing already what happened in 2016,<br> the issue of Bitcoin became massively popular. Many things happened that led Bitcoin to its best year.\n\nFor the beginning of this period,<br> the first cryptocurrency mark was only 998 USD and ended with nothing more and no less than 14,<br>456 USD per token,<br> having previously passed its historic maximum of USD 20,<br>000 in December.\n\nWithin everything that happened in 2017 there are two facts that figure much in this rebound of Bitcoin,<br> one is the sale of futures with two major US firms. UU and the other the forks.\n\nLast year Bitcoin had two bifurcations,<br> of which one played a very important role since the original BTC skyrocketed a lot in the days leading up to the launch,<br> this happens due to massive purchases,<br> since when the network bifurcates,<br> people become the owners of two tokens ,<br> the first and the bifurcated one that in this case would be Bitcoin Cash,<br> as long as the software supports the wallet that it uses.\n\nWhen the Bitcoin Cash chain branched off from the main chain,<br> the owners of Bitcoin became owners of an equivalent amount of Bitcoin Cash. This is because the chains were identical until the bifurcation occurred. If he owned 10 BTC before the division,<br> then he owned 10 BTC and 10 BCH after the division.\n\nAfter the upload,<br> BCH remained as an alternative for some users who refused to pay for the high transaction costs of the Bitcoin network,<br> until the implementation of SegWit,<br> another fork that consists in expanding the size of the nodes so that the operations they are cheaper and run in less time.\n\nThe fork of SegWit2x was responsible for many users returning to the Bitcoin network since it was a waste to send money in small quantities. At the time of writing there are many wallets and exchanges that have implemented this fork in their Blockchains and that allowed the first cryptoactive to recover trading volume at the beginning of this 2018.\n\nIn this way,<br> Bitcoin closed 2017 as its best year,<br> with a margin of profit of more than 1000% and according to experts it will continue to grow in 2018,<br> although its performance so far has not been consistent with that of last year.\n\nBelow is the behavior of BTC throughout 2017.\n\n![Grafica-2017-BTC.gif (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmUdXnxkdmMkr8SLpMDrUoPf5oRd1MrFiLMDxWa9GpRhHE\/Grafica-2017-BTC.gif)",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"bitcoin\",<br>\"blog\",<br>\"news\",<br>\"life\",<br>\"blockchain\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmXodcf4rWsd7GUPunK2jFC4X9NBsJaoC73kakhGAXefQo\/Rendimiento-del-Bitcoin-en-los-ultimos-5-a%C3%B1os.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmU4qFxiY2mcKQqKfv38KyZrzg9myudgZAFdGHBpCSAkBu\/Grafica-2013-BTC.gif\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmcowa1912hz1mfCkScJ84gkjdW7EtRDmvWbwYJVPgzA3D\/Grafica-2014-BTC.gif\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmagStXLZ1AzBdjnUdsLg3vgRVFoJCBV1tpULbjXp34jMS\/Grafica-2015-BTC.gif\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmVZoLhABETEHjqz7C5NWPKzCLXTmEMJbjGJU3Ys59Edcm\/Grafica-2016-BTC.gif\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmUdXnxkdmMkr8SLpMDrUoPf5oRd1MrFiLMDxWa9GpRhHE\/Grafica-2017-BTC.gif\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
