This is the day now known as "Black Thursday": Bitcoin lost nearly half its value in 24 hours as a broader market panic hit every asset class at once, exchanges buckled under the trading volume, and plenty of people called it the end of crypto for good. It ended up marking the start of a multi-year recovery instead.
Frequently asked questions
Where does the Mar 13, 2020 price for Bitcoin come from?
This is the actual recorded intraday low from March 13, 2020 (source: CoinDesk Bitcoin Price Index) — not a log-interpolated estimate like the year-anchor scenario pages elsewhere on this site.
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.
Buy price is the actual recorded market price for this specific date/event (see FAQ for source), not a log-interpolated estimate. Current price was fetched on 2026-09-06 and may have moved since — the homepage always shows a live price. Not financial advice.
