* % 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?

Seems like big players have begun mining on extremely cheap energy. Nation states perhaps?

Yeah I’m not sure but it’s crazy. It looks like the multiple was lower than 64 before. Most of November and December last year (low of 55 on 11/22), March 10-11th this year and June 15th this year. Outside of that it’s the lowest it’s been.

Whoever it is, it seems they don’t care much about the price as it is today
