CoinMarketCap is celebrating its 10th anniversary

Hey everyone!

CoinMarketCap is celebrating its 10th anniversary, and it's incredible to see how far both the platform and the crypto industry have come. From the early days of Bitcoin's inception to the DeFi explosion and the rise of NFTs, the journey has been nothing short of transformative.

They have been around since 2013, where the crypto landscape was dominated by Bitcoin and coins primarily used for payments and data trading. Fast forward to today, and we see a diverse range of coins, including those built for smart contracts and app-focused platforms.

CMC has provided a timeline on their website providing a comprehensive look at significant events in the crypto world, from the registration of Bitcoin.org in 2008 to Bitcoin outperforming 97% of all S&P 500 companies in 2023.

For a detailed walk down memory lane, check out the full timeline and stories on their event page.

They also have shared some nice data/videos:

What are your most memorable moments in the crypto world over the past decade?

For me, personally, alt-season in 2018 was really crazy. Also, the 2018 ETH crash from $1400 to $80 to later recover to $4500 a few years later.
