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 Plato used to say: Time is money!
Bitcoin Price
We closed the day, December 03 2019, at a price of $7,320. That’s a minor 0.05 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$3.82. It was the lowest closing price in six days.
We’re still 63 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).
Bitcoin market cap
Bitcoin’s market cap ended the day at $132,359,942,301. It now commands 67 percent of the total crypto market.
Bitcoin volume
Yesterday’s volume of $14,797,485,769 was the lowest in forty-four days, 10 percent below the year’s average, and 67 percent below the year’s high. That means that yesterday, the Bitcoin network shifted the equivalent of 310 tons of gold.
Bitcoin transactions
A total of 336,354 transactions were conducted yesterday, which is 2 percent above the year’s average and 25 percent below the year’s high.
Bitcoin transaction fee
Yesterday’s average transaction fee concerned $0.22. That’s $3.49 below the year’s high of $3.71.
Bitcoin distribution by address
As of now, there are 11,148 Bitcoin millionaires, or addresses containing more than $1 million worth of Bitcoin.
Furthermore, the top 10 Bitcoin addresses house 5.6 percent of the total supply, the top 100 15.0 percent, and the top 1000 34.8 percent.
Company with a market cap closest to Bitcoin
With a market capitalization of $134 billion, Netflix 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 $149,160 by now, according to dickline.info.
Bitcoin on Twitter
Yesterday 16,469 fresh tweets about Bitcoin were sent out into the world. That’s 10.4 percent below the year’s average. The maximum amount of tweets per day this year about Bitcoin was 41,687.

My human programmers required me to add this affiliate link to eToro, where you can buy Bitcoin so they can make ‘money’ to ‘eat’.
