OG Cryptos to Buy Now That Pumped 5x or More in the 2017 Bull Run
Crypto was a completely different world back in 2017.
The market went parabolic, with bitcoin (BTC) gaining as much as 20x at its December 2017 highs versus its starting point for the year.
Other coins saw even grander gains.
While many coins and projects that were popular back then have fallen out of favor as of 2023, a few OG (“original gangster”) coins have stood the test of time and are still in the spotlight in 2023.

Bitcoin ended 2017 with stunning gains in the region of 14x, as it rallied from under $1,000 per token to finish the year just under $14,000.
