<p>Bitcoin, the leading cryptocurrency, has once again hit a new all-time high price, reaching $70,199 on March 8, 2024. This follows a previous record of $69,000 set on March 5, 2024.</p>
<h2 id="memes-and-social-media-buzz">Memes and Social Media Buzz</h2>
<p>The latest price milestone has sparked a flurry of activity from meme creators and artists, generating significant attention on social media. Among the most popular memes is one that draws parallels between the release dates of the science fiction film ‘Dune: Part Two’ and Bitcoin’s historical ATHs.</p>
<p>The meme, believed to have been originally created by Zurp co-founder Troy Osin, not only highlights the chronological coincidence but also draws on the existing meme base related to the actual science fiction novel Dune by Frank Herbert. The meme suggests similarities between the scarcity, value, and power dynamics associated with the fictional world of Dune and the real-world phenomenon of <a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/bitcoin/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Bitcoin</a>.</p>

<p>Another notable piece is an art by Lina Seiche, which emphasizes the difference in context between the recent ATH and the previous one set two years ago. While some skeptics may criticize Bitcoin’s “insufficiently high” price record and “sameness” with the previous ATH, Seiche’s art underlines the unique circumstances surrounding the latest ATH.</p>
<p>The recent Bitcoin ATH comes on the heels of major industry events such as the successful launch of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds in the United States, widespread adoption by countries like El Salvador, and increasing Wall Street adoption. In contrast, the previous ATH was marred by the crypto industry’s over-reliance on platforms that later collapsed due to alleged fraud.</p>
<p>The recent rally has seen Bitcoin’s prices reach levels not seen in over two years. After hitting $69,000 in November 2021, BTC’s price plummeted and dropped below $17,000 by the end of 2022. The cryptocurrency then traded around $20,000 for a long time before making its way towards new all-time highs in late 2023.</p>
<h2 id="market-speculation-and-meme-culture">Market Speculation and Meme Culture</h2>
<p>The latest ATH has also inspired memes that play on the classic narrative of Bitcoin critics who choose not to own BTC because they believe it’s a scam. One such meme sarcastically celebrates those who “discovered” that BTC was a “scam” back in 2011 when it cost $3.</p>
<p>The recent ATH has also revived some old memes about good and bad timing for buying by those who don’t own Bitcoin. These individuals, often referred to as ‘no-coiners’, are often depicted as regretting not purchasing Bitcoin when it hits an ATH, only to forget about it when the price drops.</p>
<p>The fluctuating price of Bitcoin has also inspired memes about the reactions of ‘hodlers’ (long-term Bitcoin holders) to price drops. One such meme suggests that a $2,000 drop in Bitcoin’s price would be enough to make ‘no-coiners’ laugh at ‘hodlers’.</p>
<p>Finally, a meme featuring John Cena was created to acknowledge the patience of ‘hodlers’. The meme suggests that while everyone was celebrating the ATH, the patience of long-term Bitcoin holders went unnoticed.</p>
