With a long-term outlook, saving in bitcoin has historically outperformed saving in gold. This chart shows a $50/week DCA into both starting in 2021. Even after bitcoin’s recent drawdown and gold’s strong rally, bitcoin still emerges as the superior long-term saving vehicle.

24,113 verified bitcoin-accepting merchants worldwide, with 2,046 added in the last 30 days alone. Gradually, then suddenly.

Pretty fun to watch the number of merchants on BTC Map explode over the past couple of years. I'll try to have an animated version of this dashboard ready to post by tomorrow. 🍻 image

There are now over 170 million OP_RETURN outputs on Bitcoin. You can frame that as a success or a failure. ✅ Success: 170 million fake pubkeys didn’t bloat the UTXO set. ❌ Failure: 170 million pieces of non-monetary data still got on-chain. image

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.
