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. ⚡🤯image

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. 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

In bitcoin terms, prices fall. In dollar terms, they rise. Choose your unit of account wisely.

Improved the modal view's look and functionality on my site. In modal view, double-tap to zoom in on visualizations and again to zoom out. There's one more small optimization I'm working on now...you probably won't even notice it once it's finished though. 😅

You may not like the kinds of non-standard transactions miners are including in blocks today, but one day, you might need one confirmed yourself. It’s a strength of the network that transaction inclusion asymmetrically favors the minority.

For this Bitcoin UTXO distribution analysis, I excluded UTXOs worth 0 sats & OP_RETURN outputs from the KPIs but included their counts and the value burned in OP_RETURN outputs at the bottom of the table: 5,112,996,066 sats (51+ BTC) that'll never see the light of day again. image
