Never understood this kind of sensational statements without inflation adjustment. Although does not make difference in this case, but all these claims "X has never been this expensive" often ignore inflation adjustment; render them meaningless.

Surely you're not serious. The price of 1 bitcoin was less than a dollar in 2010.
As I emphasized, very clearly, that it does not make difference in this very particularly case, I want to stress, nontheless, that the phrasing of the title is misleading; from what you've said yourself, we need to measure bitcoin price in 2010 dollars then, as the title suggests "first time in history", presumingly Bitcoin history. Guess what it is not there yet. It is 80K in 2010 dollars.
