24,113 verified bitcoin-accepting merchants worldwide, with 2,046 added in the last 30 days alone.
Gradually, then suddenly. https://blossom.primal.net/933f50896706759508d1c7f9f3868937d6c56a578c11bc77573662739376dad0.mp4

Over 5.5 million of the ~19.9 million bitcoin in circulation have moved at least once at prices above $100k. https://blossom.primal.net/e2b4958bbce844db449074de89ba6a93caf83bb517dfe6be2690eae6d341a736.png

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

The top 9 cryptocurrencies (excluding stablecoins) have a combined market cap of about 10M BTC. Everybody knows that's way too high. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it. https://blossom.primal.net/ddc00cb0b26eb2d32387a3bf090ef05a83be34be918e3836c7ae7e705f2072cb.png

No plans to do that anytime soon tbh. They wouldn't be super useful anyways since they require you to have these massive postgresql tables derived from your own locally running node.

The world’s currently valued at 4.1 billion bitcoin. But here’s the thing…there will only ever be 21 million bitcoin. https://blossom.primal.net/6877d131ff32aecaf781d43104c8fd366f92a48a2a05dd08c35dfb621ec3b63b.mp4

Updated this Daily DCA Cost Basis animation to include indicators at each halving, showing the cost basis if you had started DCA'ing on that day. Remaking all frames now...will post the animated version in a bit.

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

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

2025-04-02 13:27:38 UTC

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

It's interesting how the support line (in log scale) for previous epochs kinda aligns with the all time high in the next epoch. Probably nothing. https://m.primal.net/PuKM.png

Can you think of any other coin values & names that'd be fun to analyze?
Half-coins: 0.5 BTC
Deca-coins: 10 BTC
Hecto-coins: 100 BTC
Kilo-coins: 1,000 BTC
Planck-coins: 6.62607015 BTC
Tau-coins: 6.28 BTC or 6.28318530 BTC
Phi-coins: 1.61803398 BTC
Count-coins: 1.23456789 BTC? 😅

...and yet I'm sure you still buy stuff, and even if you're using fiat for those purchases, the opportunity cost is fewer sats that you could've otherwise stacked. You see...spending fiat is no different than spending bitcoin. In both cases, it means you have less bitcoin.

You might've missed it, but Bitcoin recently hit a new all time high mining difficulty above 110 trillion.

Weird that they don’t accept bitcoin as a form of payment. And because it’s a subscription, prepaid Visa cards don’t work either. 🫠

The fact that every other L1 blockchain is now needing L2s to scale (or has become overly centralized instead) should be the only signal needed for everyone to realize that Bitcoin + L2s was the answer all along and that these shitcoins never actually solved any important problems.

People will always hustle to earn bitcoin because it will always get more valuable as our productivity and propensity to save it increases. This will launch human civilization into a renaissance of economic prosperity and financial resilience.

Don't get over of your skis. Stay humble and stack sats. Then take them into self custody.

Lump sum (LS): one initial all-in purchase
Dollar cost averaging (DCA): even purchases made over a period of time
LS is a much better #bitcoin savings strategy compared to DCA.
The following analysis calculates the returns of each strategy across multiple time periods.
The longer the time period, the more likely LS will outperform a daily DCA strategy. In general, LS outperforms on up swings and DCA outperforms on down swings. Over the 3 & 4-year periods, the only time DCA outperforms is near cycle tops!
🟠: Lump Sum > DCA
🟢: DCA > Lump Sum
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fo9CkjcWYBYOyk-?format=jpg&name=large
These figures show the returns for each analyzed period and with varying degrees of an initial LS + daily DCA. The bottom represents a 100% daily DCA strategy and the top represents a 100% LS strategy. The middle would be a 50% initial LS + 50% daily DCA strategy.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fo9C-5PWYAUO_Fo?format=jpg&name=large
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fo9DAP-WYBwmeyL?format=jpg&name=large
Over all time periods, the median return of the LS strategy is much greater than the median return of the daily DCA strategy. The longer the time period, the more pronounced this difference becomes.
LS is a high risk, higher rewards strategy. DCA is a more conservative strategy.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fo9DrlxXsAE9jRk?format=jpg&name=large
In summary, the LS strategy consistently outperforms the daily DCA strategy across every analyzed time period and throughout all of #Bitcoin's history.
When saving in #bitcoin, time in the market beats timing the market!
