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 Faraday used to say: We’re on the highway to hell, so let’s ride!
Bitcoin Price
We closed the day, November 24 2019, at a price of $7,047. That’s a notable 4.74 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$350.71. It was the lowest closing price in one hundred and ninety-five days.
We’re still 64 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).

Bitcoin volume
Yesterday’s volume of $30,433,517,289 was the highest in one day, 87 percent above the year’s average, and 32 percent below the year’s high. That means that yesterday, the Bitcoin network shifted the equivalent of 649 tons of gold.
Bitcoin transactions
A total of 267,237 transactions were conducted yesterday, which is 19 percent below the year’s average and 40 percent below the year’s high.
Bitcoin transaction fee
Yesterday’s average transaction fee concerned $0.20. That’s $3.51 below the year’s high of $3.71.
Bitcoin distribution by address
As of now, there are 10,771 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 14.7 percent, and the top 1000 34.7 percent.
Company with a market cap closest to Bitcoin
With a market capitalization of $127 billion, United Technologies Corporation 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 $142,816 by now, according to dickline.info.
