Bitcoin price is again in headlines, marking a steep recovery from the last year trading range of 7200 – 7500 USD, it is currently changing hands around at 8,700 USD and climbing steadily. The premier cryptocurrency in the world recovered from bearish state, to attain this new year price improvement. However, in the historical perspective, how has the Bitcoin price typically performed at the beginning of each year, since 2013, when significant trading started to happen?
