What happened to the bitcoin price in 2014
Bitcoin averaged $527.24 per coin in 2014, surging 173.7% from the $192.65 average of 2013. Annual moves of that size are rare and put 2014 among the most explosive years in the asset's modern history. The defining story of 2014: Mt. Gox collapse (Feb); start of multi-year bear market; year opened ~$760, closed ~$379..
Bitcoin's 2010s took it from a fraction of a dollar to a global asset. After its first real pricing in 2010, it ran through the 2011 and 2013 bubbles, the Mt. Gox collapse and a multi-year bear market, and finally the 2017 mania that carried it near $20,000.
Adjusted for inflation, bitcoin's 2014 average of $527.24 equals about $718 in today's dollars. The conversion uses US Bureau of Labor Statistics CPI-U annual averages, so treat it as a close approximation rather than an exact figure.
