The calm before the storm: Bitcoin opened 2020 in the low $9,000s, dipped hard in the March COVID crash, then began the run that would carry it to a new all-time high by year's end.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the January 2020 price for Bitcoin come from?
It's the same method the main CryptoFumble calculator uses for any date older than ~365 days: log-interpolation between known market data points (a workaround for CoinGecko's free-tier limit, which won't return history past one year back). It's an estimate, not that day's exact exchange quote.
Is this financial advice?
No. This is a hindsight calculator for fun, not investment advice. Crypto is highly volatile and past performance doesn't predict future results.
Can I run this with a different amount or date?
Yes — the link above opens the main calculator pre-loaded with this coin and date, where you can change either to anything you like.
Historical price is CryptoFumble's own estimate (log-interpolated from known market data points), not that day's exact exchange data — the same method the main calculator uses for dates older than a year. Current price was fetched on 2026-09-06 and may have moved since — the homepage always shows a live price. Not financial advice.
