New Visualization:
Bitcoin Cycle Low Multiple 

Added two different alignments for this visualization: Block Height and Days After Halving. You can cycle through them on my site by using the up and down arrows.
Another day of perfect bitcoin issuance. Miners mined 144 blocks, hitting the target of 450 newly issued bitcoin. 🎯 

This Time Is Different™
New Visualization:
Bitcoin Halving Cycles (Block Height Aligned) 

We’re living through hyperbitcoinization. Gradually, then suddenly.
Witness the evolution of the future global monetary base layer. Bitcoin’s unstoppable. Tick tock, next block.
Decided to add a bunch of events to this visualization. The animated version should be pretty sick...processing the rest of the frames now. ⏳


Added a couple of extra KPIs to this block size dashboard: number of blocks added year-over-year (underneath the block height), blockchain year-over-year growth, and the 1-year average block size underneath the color bar. 

Block by block, sat by sat...save and HODL bitcoin for a better future.
In dollars, prices of houses have more than doubled. In bitcoin, they continue to collapse, trending toward zero. Wake me up when the average new house costs less than 1 BTC.
"The Bitcoin bull run's definitely over now." 😏 

Only twice in Bitcoin’s history have October and November both closed red: 2011 and 2018.
Every 7 years, it seems…time to break the pattern or keep it alive in 2025?
My friends were in El Salvador, sent me a Lightning invoice for their meal, and I paid it from thousands of miles away in seconds. Their minds were blown. ⚡🤯

It’s a good day to reread the white paper and remember how far Bitcoin has come. Ignore the noise and anyone who would make you believe Bitcoin has failed at being the best money the world has ever seen. Less bitching about what others use it for, more using it as money yourself.


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. 

In bitcoin terms, prices fall. In dollar terms, they rise. Choose your unit of account wisely.
Bitcoin just hit its 200th daily close above $100k.
