Forget apple pie and fireworks—Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) just pulled off the most explosive Fourth of July in history, hitting $109,433 during the day. That's not just a milestone, it's a monument.

Back in 2012, a Bitcoin cost you seven bucks and some hope, noted a post on X. In 2016, it was cheaper than a tank of gas.

Now? It could buy you a Tesla Model 3 (costs around $44k to $56K in the U.S.) and still leave enough for a long weekend in Miami.
