* % change figures from prev. week

We have movement! On the bright side, number of addresses w/ a balance greater than 1M sats continue to grind higher, all the way through balances greater than 1 full BTC. Week in and out this has been consistent! A big downside I see from previous week is almost a 4.5% DECREASE in number of full nodes reachable. Will keep a close eye on this one in the next few weeks.

As we all know, price went down, a lot. Yet hashrate continues to soar! Price / hashrate multiple has to be one of the lowest it's been (if not ever?), almost 17% DECREASE in one week. I'd really like to understand what's driving this hashrate increase lately! Putting it into perspective, my estimates show hashrate has increase 25% in the last 5-6 months alone, all while Bitcoin price has remained essentially flat from early March until now. What gives?
