What happened to the bitcoin price in 2017

Bitcoin averaged $4,006.03 per coin in 2017, surging 604.7% from the $568.49 average of 2016. Annual moves of that size are rare and put 2017 among the most explosive years in the asset's modern history. The defining story of 2017: Major bull run and ICO mania; year-end near $14k-19k with ATH ~$19,700 in December..

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 2017 average of $4,006.03 equals about $5,268 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.
