THE DAY BITCOIN CHANGED EVERYTHING
Share
There was no explosion. No fireworks. Just this number. This line. This peak that everyone had been waiting for for years like someone watching the horizon. On the morning of Friday, July 11, 2025, one Bitcoin was trading for more than 100,000 euros. It remains there now, around €100,535. A few hours earlier, it had already reached $118,388, marking a new all-time high in USD value. And this time, Europe was not far behind.
A turning point. Not an end. Not a victory. But a confirmation. The €100,000 threshold was psychological, almost mystical. A kind of Holy Grail. It didn't stay below it for long. It was touched, crossed, confirmed. And that's enough to leave its mark. Because more than the price, it's the symbolism that strikes. The currency that was said to be dead, useless, outdated... is now exchanged for six figures. Whether in dollars or euros.
By July 10, the signs were already there. In the space of twenty-four hours, Bitcoin crossed a series of milestones at breakneck speed: $113,000. Then $116,000. And up to $118,388, according to several platforms. Unprecedented. The United States was the first to witness this meteoric rise, carried by a massive institutional wave. American ETFs are reaching record volumes. BlackRock, Fidelity, VanEck—they're all in the race. Money is pouring in. Demand is historic. Acceptance is total.
In the wake of Trump's reelection, pro-Bitcoin signals are multiplying: SEC reform, creation of strategic BTC reserves, tax exemptions. The narrative is shifting. Bitcoin is moving from the political shadows to the political spotlight.
And Europe? It's watching, and it's taking note. Thanks to a favorable exchange rate, Bitcoin has crossed the 100,000 euro threshold on several European markets. The symbolism is immense. For the first time, the ancient currency of the Old Continent is facing a force beyond its control. A force it cannot manipulate. A force it cannot control.
On the forums, the old-timers speak in blocks. Genesis. Halving. SegWit. Taproot. They remember the winters. The bans. The mockery. In the streets, the conversations are simpler. Can you imagine? A hundred thousand. And behind these words, there's always this mixture of admiration, incomprehension, and regret. It's not a bubble. It's not a mirage. It's not a fad. It's a crack in the system. Bitcoin has established itself not as a technical alternative, but as a global counter-power. A free, neutral, incorruptible currency.
Central banks can raise rates, print, regulate. Nothing works. Bitcoin, however, continues on its way. Beyond borders. Beyond schedules. Beyond cages. And now? Nothing is certain. Volatility may return. The price may fall again. But this Friday, July 11, will be remembered. For the first time, Bitcoin crossed the €100,000 mark. And for the first time, it reached $118,000. This isn't a peak. It's a signal. That the old world is trembling. That another world is already here.
One hundred thousand euros. One hundred and eighteen thousand dollars. One code. One block. One era.
