How does it make you feel knowing that over half of the current bitcoin UTXOs are worth 1,000 sats or less?

Chugging through the 2015 spam attacks now. Would be interesting to see how many of those smaller 1k - 10k sat UTXOs remain unspent to this day.

All daily bitcoin DCAers are once again in profit, including those who just started DCAing at the all time high a couple of weeks ago.

Just posted this one over on X and YouTube. It's a bit long for Nostr but I might clip the last year and at least post that part here later today. X (1080p with music):

Got primal premium so that I could start posting some of my animations...now we're in business!

The Counterparty burn address aside, here's the 2nd address with the most "whole coins" (UTXOs worth exactly 100,000,000 sats). 19GP1D3BPe8K8uvbTaqxLzXPyBFj9GhHrL Looks like they acquired most of their bitcoin back in 2013, spend some in 2017, then split the rest up into whole coins and have been HODLing all 342 of them ever since.

Bitcoin’s 12-CAGR is about to fall off a cliff. 😅

What happens to really old notes? Do relays delete them after a while? It’d be cool if there was also a consensual way to delete notes, if the user could mark one for deletion or set an expiration date, at which point the relays could delete them and free up space.

1 sat/vB txns are finally starting to get confirmed. Time for some UTXO management.

Imagine letting the IRS FUD you into consolidating all of your bitcoin into one wallet.

What are some of the highest signal bitcoin focused accounts to follow on nostr?

The thing I don’t understand about the new IRS rules is whether any of the separate wallet accounting matters if all you ever do is buy, sell, or spend using the same exchange. And I’m assuming that moving between your own wallets still doesn’t reset the cost basis, right?

Probably gonna take a few more months to complete but this is what I’ll be primarily focused on in early 2025. Recreating the UTXO sets at every block height, analyzing them to get these metrics and then animating all of that data. Right now I’ve got genesis to block 330k complete and some of the more recent blocks. Hopefully I don’t melt my computer keeping it running 24/7 for this. 🫠

It’s been 10 whole days since bitcoin’s made a new all time high.
