Early Bitcoin Enthusiast Celebrates First $100 Milestone

The evidence strongly supports the statement that Bitcoin's price reached $100 for the first time. Several high-authority sources converge on a specific time period, early April 2013, as a moment of a significant price milestone for Bitcoin. The Wikipedia article on Cryptocurrency provides the most compelling piece of evidence by citing a Fortune article from April 2013 explicitly titled 'Bitcoin's price just passed a huge milestone.' This is directly corroborated by the 'History of bitcoin' Wikipedia page, which also identifies early April 2013 as a period of major price volatility and increase. Additional sources, while not directly confirming the $100 figure, provide valuable context by citing other primary news sources from that era (such as Forbes, Business Insider, and Reuters) and highlighting the importance of the Mt. Gox exchange, which was the dominant market at the time. There is no conflicting evidence among the relevant sources provided; the sources that discuss Bitcoin's price are either irrelevant because they refer to $100,000, not $100, or they support the historical context of the 2013 price surge. The consistency across multiple credible sources pointing to the same event and time frame provides high confidence in the statement's truthfulness.
