Bitcoin (BTC) bulls were euphoric when the price soared to $69,000 on Nov. 10 because the 14.5% gain accumulated over five days meant they were in for a $715 million profit on Nov. 12’s options expiry.

When you look at cryptocurrencies trading at only a few dollars — or even a few cents — a token, it’s hard to imagine them becoming the next Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC). After all, that cryptocurrency star recently surpassed $60,000 a coin. But it’s important to remember where Bitcoin started.
