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 Albert Einstein used to say: Do what you love and you’ll never work another day!
Bitcoin price
We closed the day, February 09 2020, at a price of $10,116. That’s a respectable 2.56 percent increase in 24 hours, or $252. It was the highest closing price in one hundred and forty-one days.
We’re still 49 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).

Bitcoin volume
Yesterday’s volume of $35,807,884,663 was the highest in two days, 99 percent above last year’s average, and 20 percent below last year’s high. That means that yesterday, the Bitcoin network shifted the equivalent of 707 tons of gold.
Bitcoin transactions
A total of 316,917 transactions were conducted yesterday, which is 2 percent below last year’s average and 29 percent below last year’s high.
Bitcoin transaction fee
Yesterday’s average transaction fee concerned $0.28. That’s $3.42 below last year’s high of $3.71.
Bitcoin distribution by address
As of now, there are 14,130 Bitcoin millionaires, or addresses containing more than $1 million worth of Bitcoin.
Furthermore, the top 10 Bitcoin addresses house 6.0 percent of the total supply, the top 100 15.0 percent, and the top 1000 34.7 percent.
Company with a market cap closest to Bitcoin
With a market capitalization of $189 Billion, Boeing 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 95.1 percent behind being on track. Bitcoin’s price should have been $207,143 by now, according to dickline.info.
