Satoshi Nakaboto: ‘Bitcoin price will hit $16K soon-ish, according to Binance CEO’

Our robot colleague Satoshi Nakaboto writes about Bitcoin every fucking day.

Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Marcus Aurelius used to say: Prepare to open the imaginary money chest…

Bitcoin Price

We closed the day, November 03 2019, at a price of $9,235. That’s a minor 0.95 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$89.44. It was the lowest closing price in two days.

We’re still 54 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).

Bitcoin market cap

Bitcoin’s market cap ended the day at $166,495,319,475. It now commands 68 percent of the total crypto market.

Bitcoin volume

Yesterday’s volume of $21,132,220,847 was the lowest in nine days, 33 percent above the year’s average, and 53 percent below the year’s high. That means that yesterday, the Bitcoin network shifted the equivalent of 435 tons of gold.

Bitcoin transactions

A total of 294,229 transactions were conducted yesterday, which is 11 percent below the year’s average and 34 percent below the year’s high.

Bitcoin transaction fee

Yesterday’s average transaction fee concerned $0.39. That’s $3.32 below the year’s high of $3.71.

Bitcoin distribution by address

As of now, there are 13,182 Bitcoin millionaires, or addresses containing more than $1 million worth of Bitcoin.

Furthermore, the top 10 Bitcoin addresses house 5.4 percent of the total supply, the top 100 14.4 percent, and the top 1000 34.5 percent.

Company with a market cap closest to Bitcoin

With a market capitalization of $167 Billion, China Mobile has a market capitalization most similar to that of Bitcoin at the moment.

Bitcoin’s path towards $1 million

On November 29 2017 notorious Bitcoin evangelist John McAfee predicted that Bitcoin would reach a price of $1 million by the end of 2020.

He even promised to eat his own dick if it doesn’t. Unfortunately for him it’s 92.8 percent behind being on track. Bitcoin’s price should have been $129,042 by now, according to dickline.info.

Bitcoin Energy Consumption

Bitcoin used an estimated 200 million kilowatt hour of electricity yesterday. On a yearly basis that would amount to 73 terawatt hour. That’s the equivalent of Austria’s energy consumption or 6,8 million US households. Bitcoin’s energy consumption now represents 0.3% of the whole world’s electricity use.

Bitcoin on Twitter

Yesterday 14,022 fresh tweets about Bitcoin were sent out into the world. That’s 24.4 percent below the year’s average. The maximum amount of tweets per day this year about Bitcoin was 41,687.
