BITCOIN HASHRATE ON NEW YEAR'S EVE 📈
⚠️ No public source provides exact Bitcoin hashrate values for every 31 December from 2008–2025.
The earliest reliable hashrate measurements only begin in 2009–2010, and even then they are estimates, because:
- Bitcoin launched in January 2009
- Hashrate was effectively 0 TH/s for much of 2009
- Historical daily hashrate data is only available from 2009 onward (YCharts)
- Blockchain dot com and BitInfoCharts provide long‑term charts but not exact daily values for early years.

And spend out of what We have provided you with before death comes to one of you and he says, 'My Lord! If only You would grant me respite for a little while, then I would give alms and be among the righteous.' - The Qur'an (63:10)


The panel “Bitcoin’s Role in the Muslim World” at the recent Abu Dhabi Bitcoin conference highlighted how decentralised finance intersects with faith, ethics, and global inclusion. The speakers (Host Bruce Fenton, @MuaawiyahTucker, @Muslim Bitcoiner, @farooq) explored Bitcoin not just as a technology, but as a tool for empowerment, transparency, and community resilience across Muslim societies.
Key Themes from the Panel:
- Faith & Finance Alignment: Panelists emphasised how Bitcoin’s principles of transparency, fairness, and non-riba (interest-free) exchange resonate with Islamic financial ethics.
- Global Muslim Adoption: With over 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide, the discussion underscored Bitcoin’s potential to serve communities often underserved by traditional banking.
- Economic Empowerment: Bitcoin was framed as a pathway for individuals and families to protect wealth against inflation, access cross-border trade, and participate in a global economy without intermediaries.
- Community & Education: The panel stressed the importance of grassroots education—helping families, youth, and entrepreneurs understand Bitcoin’s practical use cases beyond speculation.
- Policy & Regulation: The speakers acknowledged challenges around regulation in Muslim-majority countries, but also pointed to growing interest from governments and institutions in integrating Bitcoin into ethical finance frameworks.
This conversation was more than technical; it was cultural and spiritual. The panel showed how Bitcoin can be contextualised within Islamic values, offering a bridge between tradition and innovation. For Muslim communities worldwide, it represents both a financial lifeline and a chance to lead in shaping the future of ethical digital finance.
Bitcoin is not just code; it’s a chance to align finance with values. The Abu Dhabi panel on Bitcoin’s Role in the Muslim World reminded us that decentralisation can empower communities, respect faith, and build resilience. A powerful vision for the future.

In this @Danny Knowles What Bitcoin Did episode, @Saifedean Ammous argues that the collapse of civilisation began not in 1971 with Nixon closing the gold window, but in 1914 with World War I. He explains how fiat money enabled governments to escape monetary discipline, fund wars without consent, and reshape society. The conversation highlights how inflation erodes savings, culture, and long-term thinking, and why Bitcoin offers a genuine alternative as sound money.
🎙️ Key Themes from the Interview
1. Historical Roots of Fiat Collapse
- Saifedean stresses that 1914 marked the true turning point, when governments abandoned the gold standard to finance World War I.
- Fiat money wasn’t an accident; it was a deliberate power grab that allowed states to expand wars, empires, and deficits without public accountability.
2. Inflation as Civilisational Decay
- Inflation destroys savings and intergenerational wealth, pushing people toward short-term consumption.
- This shift in time preference undermines culture, architecture, science, and family stability.
- He frames fiat money as a hidden tax that corrodes civilisation from within.
3. Central Banks & War Finance
- Central banks learned to fund wars and deficits invisibly, bypassing democratic consent.
- The episode explores how this mechanism entrenched state power and weakened individual sovereignty.
4. Bitcoin as Sound Money
- Bitcoin is presented not as ideology but as “price technology”; a neutral, incorruptible monetary system.
- It restores low time preference, encouraging savings, investment, and long-term planning.
- Saifedean argues Bitcoin is the first real alternative to fiat since the collapse of gold.
📌 Takeaway
Saifedean’s central claim is stark: fiat money rewired civilisation toward short-termism and decay, while Bitcoin offers a path back to sound money, discipline, and cultural renewal. The interview blends monetary history with a civilisational critique, positioning Bitcoin as both a technological and moral corrective.
