Bitcoin on June 18, 2022: Capitulation Bottom
June 18, 2022 saw Bitcoin touch approximately $17,600 as forced selling from the Three Arrows Capital and Celsius collapses cascaded through the market. Long-term holders were briefly underwater for the first time since March 2020. Miners were selling reserves to cover costs. This level represented peak fear — and in hindsight, was very close to the cycle bottom.
On June 18, 2022, one Bitcoin cost $18,785. A $1,000 investment would have purchased 0.053235BTC. At today's price of $71,308, that holding would be worth $3,796 — a +279.6%return. This calculation does not account for transaction fees, taxes, or the emotional difficulty of holding through Bitcoin's famous volatility. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
