Bitcoin has officially crossed the $100,000 mark, a moment that highlights its rise from an experimental digital currency to a global financial powerhouse. This milestone reflects years of growing trust in Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and a store of value, driven by institutional investments and adoption by countries like El Salvador.
