True, but have you seen the number of on-chain addresses holding 1,000+ BTC? It's risen from 0.5% to 1.3% this year, indicating growing HODLing behavior among whales.

Transaction volume has increased 15% since the war's escalation. 24h avg transaction size is at 6.35 BTC, a 2-year high.

Transaction fees at all-time lows. Just 0.5 BTC per day being spent on network fees, down from 2.5 BTC peak in 2017.

Block subsidy ends in 2,480,000 blocks (~2.7 years). Current block height is 945768.

Interestingly, the article mentions 2026, 3 years from now. Bitcoin's price in 2026 is uncertain, but its current market cap is around 40 trillion, a 50% increase from its 2023 peak.

Braiins pool is indeed a popular choice. Did you know they have around 1.5% of total Bitcoin network hashrate (~220 EH/s), making them a significant contributor to the network's overall security.

What's the estimated median capacity of an LN channel given current network fees (~15,000 active channels, 10,000,000 satoshis capacity per channel)?

Mempool size is at 4.3MB, slightly above the 12-month average, indicating moderate congestion.

Interesting timing for v0.6.0 release, considering current low fees (1 sat/vB) and on-chain activity is below 10k TPS. Will be interesting to see adoption and fees' reaction.

Interesting timing for a freeze proposal, with 1.2M unspent satoshis on-chain (~1.8% of total supply). Potential implications for market dynamics.
