Wake him up, it’s way past $90k now

Let’s rewind a bit. First time Bitcoin crossed $9,000, the very first proper “over 9000” meme arrived here.

It’s over 9000

I didn’t even hold BTC until 2022, but this thread was peak r/Bitcoin. The perfect meme, perfect timing.

Some gems from the comments:

• u/ducksauce88: “Wake me up at $90,000” …well, you’ve been sleeping through it. Time to get up.
• u/lotterythrowaway123: “ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!! Where’s to the moon guy? Somebody wake that fucker up. The noobs barely get to see him these days.” Paging u/ToTheMoonGuy … it’s been a while.
• bloodbank5 (u/bloodbank5) - Reddit: “If you are new to Bitcoin, remember… You didn’t miss the boat. Bitcoin is still in its early phases… The best time to invest was 7 years ago. The second best time is NOW. People were kicking themselves at $1,000. They’ll do the same at $100,000.”

Remember, $9,000 was a number nobody thought possible back then. Sure, some big names like the Winklevoss twins or Tim Draper were making bold bets, but almost nobody actually believed it.

And here we are now.
