JUST IN - 95% of the 21 million bitcoin has now been mined.
Only 5% left to be mined over the next 114 years! ⛏️ https://blossom.primal.net/273224ff3a25b5d0e3934e4762b923b34343e98cef2d63c3e18c01d5a3b3f931.mp4

It's officially been 300 weeks since 2020 began. Saving $50/week in bitcoin during that time would’ve turned $15k into 0.58 BTC, now worth over $63k. Saving in gold instead would’ve yielded 7.45 oz of gold, worth just over $28k.
Bitcoin’s clearly a superior savings technology. https://blossom.primal.net/a4f14e187b132dc88ec92d5d9cf3bf2dfec94b32554ff0ed06acdbee0a81ab12.mp4

Congratulations if you were sitting on the sidelines with some fiat dry powder. Your bitcoin denominated net worth just went up but it's only on paper until you sell that fiat and secure those gains.

Another LSP hub whose rates for inbound liquidity are relatively low.

Progress has slowed further as I process the last two years of data. My computer froze and restarted several times while running 4 parallel instances, so I've reduced it to 2, which analyze about a month's worth of data per day. ⏳ https://m.primal.net/QGRA.png

Empty mempool and 1 sat/vB fee rates...time to open another Lightning channel and get a little more inbound liquidity...because why not. ⚡

Green is where current price is above the daily dca'ers cost basis (i.e. they're in the green/in profit on their investment) and red is where current price is below (i.e. they're in the red/at a loss on their investment).

Please remember to consolidate your UTXOs only after fee rates are back above 100 sat/vB. 🍻 https://m.primal.net/QCtz.png

Yeah, this ain't no 80IQ'er chart...sorry. 😂

Updated the x-axis labels on this Daily DCA Cost Basis chart from days to years for clarity. For example, someone who's daily DCA'd over the past 6 years has a cost basis of about $20k, while someone who's daily DCA'd for 4 years has a cost basis just under $40k. Make sense? https://m.primal.net/QCrr.png

Not for long. I bet most of it will be transferred to the traditional banks once they begin to offer "bitcoin savings accounts"...not that that's gonna be much better though.

JUST IN - 94.5% of the 21 million bitcoin has now been mined.
Only 5.5% left to be mined over the next 115 years! ⛏️ https://m.primal.net/QBmt.mov

Just finished processing all the 2020 data...only 4½ more years to go. However, the rate of progress has slowed significantly...it now takes 30 minutes per instance to analyze one day's data. With 4 instances, I'm analyzing about half a year's worth of data daily. https://m.primal.net/PxGV.png

Who could've seen this coming? Those damn bitcoin maxis were right again...everything trends to zero in terms of bitcoin. https://m.primal.net/PxGC.png
