Old coins don’t leave vibes — they leave spent outputs.
I bucketed every 2024+ BTC spend by coin age and priced it in USD on the spend day.
Since Jan ’24, 5y+ coins moved:
• ~1.49M BTC
• ~$123B notional
Moved ≠ sold. But old-holder distribution should show up here.

Appreciate the generous zap
I initially plotted it up to 500 sats/vB but the curve goes completely flat after that first spike
I will take a look at plotting the percentage of the BTC supply tomorrow

yo @nprofile…as5u , here is the analysis you requested!
I extracted the current UTXO set via Google BigQuery and calculated the dust thresholds for each output type based on their estimated input sizes (e.g., ~58vB for Taproot, ~68vB for Native SegWit).
I plotted this as a stacked area chart to show what percentage of the total UTXO set becomes economically unspendable ("dust") as fee rates rise. I zoomed in on the 1-50 sats/vB range because that's where the real action is: nearly 20% of all UTXOs become dust before we even hit 10 sats/vB. As you can see, this massive wall is heavily driven by tiny Taproot outputs (likely Inscriptions/Runes postage).
Hope this helps! Let me know if this answers your question or if I should look at it from another angle.

The fascinating part is that Google is focusing this entire discovery on our "Bitcoin bags"

The quantum threat to legacy P2PK and P2PKH outputs is wildly exaggerated
Even assuming the absolute worst case where every single legacy UTXO is exposed
It would take less than a single day to migrate 95% of the at-risk supply to safe addresses
50% of the risk sits in just 13.5k UTXOs which clears in 30 minutes
80% is in 56k UTXOs which clears in under 3 hours
95% is in 451k UTXOs which is about 18 hours of block space
The network can process a full migration of the concentrated wealth effortlessly
There is no crisis here

Maintaining a Node for 5 years with 8MB blocks would cost you over $570 in SSD storage alone today
The current Bitcoin standard keeps that cost at a manageable $85

People still argue for bigger blocks in 2026 as if they didn’t learn anything from the past
If Bitcoin had scaled to 8MB blocks in 2017 with current relative utilization, the chain would be at 2.88 TB today

Monthly Update: Small & Solo Bitcoin Mining – January 2026 Edition
The small & solo mining network share (90d SMA) continued sliding in January, now sitting around ~1.8% after the drop from ~2% in December. Monthly blocks found remained soft, similar to late 2025 levels. The chart shows this short-term weakness against the powerful multi-year upward trend since early 2023.
Despite the recent pullback, the decentralization story is alive and well – more and more capable home miners are coming online. Folks upgrading from ~1.3 TH/s Bitaxe units to stronger setups like FutureBit's Apollo series (2–3 TH/s) or PowerMiningFarm's NerdQaxe++ (4.8 TH/s) keep improving their solo chances step by step.

This chart is a lesson in market deception.
One line offers a dopamine hit (+264.9%). The other offers a discipline test (-19.1%).
Humans suffer from Action Bias. We instinctively equate "motion" with "progress." If an asset isn't moving, our survival brain assumes it’s broken or dead.
But in markets, volatility is often a distraction, while stillness is where the structural work happens.
Bitcoin isn't stagnant; it’s digesting. It is absorbing massive institutional shifts and ETF inflows without the fireworks. It’s a transfer of ownership from the impatient to the convicted.
Chasing the vertical line feels good today. Surviving the flat line pays off for the decade.
Stagnation is the gatekeeper.

Mid-2024–Now: Blocks are packed but fees -97% from peaks.
My take: It’s all about urgency—or lack thereof. In Bitcoin, “urgency” hits when high-time-preference users (think retail rushing payments) bid up fees. But now? Low time preference rules: Big players like exchanges batch their transactions and wait through congestion, no rush.
Low fees? Miners don’t seem to care—hashrate’s still climbing (~1,066 EH/s, near ATH).

2025-12-13 12:32:59 CET

Blocks Full, Fees Down. How does that even work?
#Bitcoin blocks: >150% utilized vs. legacy 1MB baseline (SegWit magic since 2017). Daily fees? Just ~2.65 BTC today.

Common wisdom says: "Miners who filter spam lose revenue." Because they leave fee-paying transactions on the table.
I checked the on-chain reality (Avg Fees per Block, last 30 days):
🟦 Ocean (Filtered): ~0.0222 BTC (Fees) 🟧 AntPool (Unfiltered): ~0.0211 BTC (Fees)
Surprise: Ocean actually earns slightly more in fees per block than the unfiltered competition. Quality > Quantity?
Filtering the blockchain doesn't seem to hurt the bottom line.

Methodology Note: The Whale and Retail flows presented here are derived from the net change in balances across clustered wallets over the last 100 days.
Wallet classifications are defined as: • Retail: Wallets holding < 1 BTC. • Whales: Wallets holding > 1k BTC.
This analysis reflects a change in supply held, not simple transaction volume.

2025-12-10 10:32:14 CET

We are witnessing a complete restructuring of Bitcoin's ownership over the last 100 days.
The data reveals a brutal truth about market psychology:
1. October (FOMO): Retail (<1 BTC) chased the price aggressively. Whales distributed into strength.
2. December (Fear): Retail is capitulating at the bottom. Whales (>1k BTC) are absorbing the liquidity.
📉 Retail Flow: -80,000 BTC (Panic Selling) 📈 Whale Flow: +110,000 BTC (High Conviction)
Wealth is transferring from the impatient to the sovereign.

Yesterday, we analyzed WHO is actually supporting the strict rules (only ~1.4%). See the full Hashrate distribution chart here:

Yesterday, we saw that the Knots/Ocean "rebellion" is only ~1.4% of the network Hashrate. But are these miners actually filtering "spam" (large inscriptions) from their blocks?
I analyzed the average transaction size of blocks mined in the last 30 days. The difference is undeniable:
🟦 Ocean (Filtered): 572 Bytes
🟧 AntPool (Unfiltered): 669 Bytes
AntPool's blocks contain transactions that are, on average, ~17% larger. This confirms that Ocean is actively filtering out the largest data blobs.
They are walking the talk.

Methodology Note: This chart identifies blocks specifically tagged with known Ocean/Knots coinbase parameters. Solo miners using Knots without tagging cannot be distinguished from Core nodes via BigQuery public data.
👀 Tomorrow: I will analyze the actual block data (avg transaction size) to prove if this 1.4% is truly filtering "spam" or just talking about it.

The debate around Bitcoin Knots, block filtering, and "spam" is loud, but how much Hashrate is actually enforcing stricter rules on-chain right now?
I queried the on-chain data for the last 30 days to find out. The result is stark:
🟦 Knots / Ocean: ~1.4% 🟧 Core / Others: ~98.6%
The on-chain vote remains clear. For now.

Buying. 'Front-running' implies accumulation. They are trying to scoop up the coins before the ETF demand hits the order books, not dump into it.

Overlayed IBIT volume with whale activity (>10 BTC).
The correlation is tighter than I expected. Whenever institutional volume spikes, native whales aggressively compete for the same coins.
They aren't selling to the ETFs. They are front-running them.

BTC price is chopping, but the chain is awake.
I queried all transactions >10 BTC over the last 30 days to see if the big players are stepping back.
They aren't. Transaction count for whales remains elevated despite the red candles.
Retail gets bored. Smart money gets busy.

The myth that #Bitcoin is more unequally distributed than the traditional financial system is false. When adjusting for exchange wallets, Bitcoin's Gini coefficient is roughly 0.82. The global fiat system scores worse, around 0.88 according to the UBS Global Wealth Report.
The key difference is the trend. Fiat wealth continues to centralize over time. Bitcoin is distributing. In 2012, whales controlled 62% of the supply; today, that figure is down to 34%. One system is concentrating, the other is dispersing.

#Bitcoin miner revenue is still mainly coming from subsidy, but the share of fees is slowly on the rise. 🚀
Massive spikes have been driven by high network demand during bull markets and crazes like Inscriptions.
Is Bitcoins security budget sustainable in the long run? 👇🔥 https://image.nostr.build/9e2c5dcd88b6b16436def67fc0f00c2c0dfe8c6524f3d3e392f5b6a570c39817.png
