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 Satoshi Nakamoto used to say: Peel off the skin of this mystery and eat the tasty fruit inside!

Bitcoin Price

We closed the day, November 12 2019, at a price of $8,815. That’s a minor 0.63 percent increase in 24 hours, or $55. It was the highest closing price in one day.

We’re still 56 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).

Bitcoin volume

Yesterday’s volume of $20,309,769,107 was the highest in one day, 26 percent above the year’s average, and 54 percent below the year’s high. That means that yesterday, the Bitcoin network shifted the equivalent of 431 tons of gold.
