Back from vacation and #Bitcoin is still here, nice! I don't know how accurate the # of full nodes stat is depending on the day of the week that I pull it but we're seeing just over a 3% increase in nodes on the network (reachable) which is wonderful. That's the highest number in 23 weeks, the only other above 17k reading goes back to July this year.

We did lose some LN capacity, still hovering above the psychological (nothing more) 5k BTC capacity. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before this number takes off again. LN nodes and addresses relatively flat, hashrate hovering right around 500, which is still wild.

Right after I said it might be a good time to pay some bills last week we get almost a 7% increase in price. Sounds about par for the course, trying to time price action is quite silly. Bitcoin has it's own rhythm.

Have a great week as we head towards the end of the year. Trying to find some grace and presence during these times myself.
