Feel free to add any other stats you find interesting

Very interesting statistics that you provide, whether with these statistics can guarantee the future for an increase in Bitcoin in 2020. I more often see predictions that say the middle of 2020, there will be an increase in Bitcoin. But that is without any statistics, maybe only with analysis.

Good stats. We all expect bitcoin to perform better this year than last year because of the upcoming bitcoin halving that will see a block reward reduced from 12.5BTC to 6.25BT per block reward. This year will be a year of survival of the fittest for good projects. More world attention on bitcoin.

Nice stats, some info that I don't read yet were included. I can't remember the last article which says bitcoin is dead. It seems long that I read it and reach that number now. Let's hope that btc will perform better now than last year as halving will happen this year.

New to bitcoin but love how fast it is to send around to my brothers!

Every historical shows clearly that investing into bitcoin is a sure bet to win in the future if you are patient enough. However many crypto technical analysts share so many negative comments about the future of bitcoin making it seem like it ain't worth investing into and they do this mainly so that newbies can sell of their bitcoins cheaply. Don't panic folks, bitcoin is surely going to rise with time, this is the time to accumulate as much as you can.

Really? How do you determine this? Is it assuming one address = one person?

Another exciting stats is Bitcoin is just about 132 days away from the next halving! This year and the next should be really interesting for crypto space.

There are a variety of online tools that show the distribution of wealth across the Bitcoin network, e.g. by showing the number of addresses holding X amount of bitcoin and other ways, e.g;

https://bitinfocharts.com/top-100-richest-bitcoin-addresses.html
https://btc.com/stats/rich-list

These are two such tools, but there are dozens of others.

That is very interesting information for me to. I wonder where this data about Bitcoin users come from. It's well known fact that the number of Bitcoin users is very hard to determine and the number of Bitcoin addresses definetely can't be criteria. So, every data about users I found so far is based on very rough estimation and exact number can't be determined.

Lol, how many times has it been declared a ponzi scheme?

Indeed that catches my attention too.  It would be best if OP provided some links to back up his claims.  I think this one is a poorly estimated data because no one will really ever know how many wallet address an individual is holding.

In a report I read today in the Cointelegraph, Bitcoin hash rates were going up to the highest levels in history.
As you can see here;

This seems, something is coming for us :) I think that way.

I think 379 times is far fewer times than the actual deaths Bitcoin has been given. It's now 10 years old, or even older, depending on how you look at it, and I bet even in the first couple of years alone people have poured all kinds of deaths on them a thousand times. I hope this year even more do that. It seems only when people think it's dead that it can truly grow.

Well not a lot of people were paying attention during bitcoins first few years and it's value wasn't at all significant to consider those first "deaths". I expect a few more this year and a couple of resurrections as well lol.  Quite a good job of taking down the stats :) some are quite interesting to know.

That would be great if that will happen. We all hope on that to happen. There are really many factors to consider. And with that statistics there's really hope. Its been already a long period also that the price really not going that high enough. And I guess a year is like too long for it to be low or steady.

Interesting. But you're missing something. That's the link. It would be great if you included the link(s) where you get those information. Of course you didn't compute that on your own. It's really hard to determine accurate information like this so most of this are just the average computation I guess. You can't know the exact number of people and amount of Bitcoin all people have.

Actually of all the stats listed, this one is the most interesting to me,
since I am involved with Bitcoin I have heard this rhetoric from high
profile financiers and people of interest and I am so proud that we have
all to date proved them wrong.

Very accurate stats .  This shows that adoption of the use of bitcoin in the mainstream financial ecosystem will be very soon.  But for people to actually agree with you on the stats above, you should always add references and the source of your info with regard to how you obtain the stats.

Great stats though we need to quote reference to support each stats. The most interesting I found was Bitcoin declared dead 379 times. Whenever people say bitcoin is dead that’s the time to buy bitcoin since price at that time will be at its lowest.

Its gonna be a great year for bitcoin,of course it has been very consistent at the top since the past years,but this time,I'm sure it's gonna reach an all time high again

I quite happy with how stable is Bitcoin this month and I think that the stats above are quite accurate. Of all the things that happened this past month in the world and most of them are negative like war, earthquake, eruption, wildfire and recently, the novel virus, it is very surprising to me that cryptocurrency is quite stable. I hope we will get more positive news about Bitcoin and cryptocurrency for the whole year.

I don't buy it either, this number is way too high, if it was true, this forum would be full of Bitcoin millionaires. Most likely they just used the logic that 1 address = 1 person, and then took addresses with more than $1mil, but it's obviously deeply flawed, as one person can and usually does own multiple addresses. And then there are exchanges which hold enormous amounts of coins, and many of them are in cold storage so it's even harder to determine how many coins people own.

Much better to prove that stats with basis and proof. I'm also thinking if the stats about 30k-60k people holding worth more than $1M of bitcoins.

Let's not forget that bitcoin has reached $13,000 last June 27, 2019. I think this is viable to be added to that stats list and there's a proof for that because we've seen that before.

If we consider smaller amounts like less than 0.05 than there would be lacks of addresses holding that amount of bitcoin. What OP did is perhaps just counted addresses having larger amount of bitcoins considering those are active holders but there also are other people who like to prefer holding smaller amounts onto their exchanges and leave rest of the amount in hardware or cold storage which would never be possible for us to count because already there are a number of hardware wallets and cold storage which people use to safely store their coins without the thread of getting hacked or lost.

There already are a number of bitcoins mined and only classifying people with maximum number of bitcoins would not be good as the statistics should be comprehensive.

This is happening in preparation of halving that is about to happen this 2020. Investors are now trying to invest in bitcoin because they know that sooner or later, the value of bitcoin that they have bought will for surely gonna increase. Lets just wait for its halving to take effect because the value of bitcoin might be tripled.

Yeah right, the investors are waiting for the Halving moment, we are all waiting for that too, Many predict the price of Bitcoin will increase after Halving, and I believe that. Bitcoin price correction has been a long time and now it's time for Bitcoin to show an increase. Prepare yourself from now.

I think Bitcoin will do well this year. Many investors are ready to invest in bitcoin because of bitcoin halving. This is just my opinion. After bitcoin halving, the market will see a good impact. We hope this year will end with a steady run. The last bitcoin halving (2016) gave birth to a bitcoin historic bull market (2017). Hope this halving giving us something good.

It would also be nice to make statistics for weeks and months, and try to connect it with events from this period to see what and how can affect the price.
Some bursts in registering bitcoin wallets, or changes in hash-rate. Much more can be added.

So, if you bought bitcoins at the beginning of 2019, you would have been garanteed of a 17.4% profit on your investment (Maximum one day move 17.4%) ...you just need to wait it out and sell when it reach a specific target percentage. You can set your own goal for the year and sell at that target price for a profit.

People tend to look at overall performance for the year, but within the year, there are ample opportunities for traders to make some very good profits on their Bitcoin investment, if they time everything correctly. <buying low and selling high>  ;)

Would be nice to see online wallet statistics, if you can get hold of that.  :P

What you are saying sounds nice in theory but no one is that professional and lucky to salvage every high and low. So better is to set one's own targets and sell immediately when the price reaches the target price. There will always the feeling of regret afterwards as the price sooner or later will cross your target price but it's better to forget that and set new targets and so on.

But I have feeling too that this year will be unprecedented year for bitcoin and most probably we will see ATH this year.

All time high as well as all time low price should be added to the statistics. Bitcoins have already moved much vigorously which makes bitcoins more popular in terms of having benefits from trading with bitcoins. Moreover, there are not much people holding bitcoins so I might agree with OP that only 30,000 to 60,000 people might be the active holders of bitcoins and whole amount of bitcoins already mined should be divided among those number of people.

We should never forget that most of the bitcoins are either lost in the transaction or scammed or maybe people forget about their bitcoins which makes them unspent and useless in some wallets. Also these details should be added to the OP.

Always avoid making uncertain conclusions. Not to be a pessimist but do play the game that you would be safe from regrets. It is okay to assume that this would be a good year for crypto but do not be carried away too much.
Always expect for the negative side, because it would save you from unrealistic expectations. The year has just began but so far, it seems to be in favor for the market but that is not enough. It is still a long way and there are many things that could happen. Just note how the market behaves in nature. Ups and downs should always be expected when it comes to the market value of Bitcoin and also, other cryptos.

These statistics have each basic information about bitcoins. You should try to  update this thread with updated statistics about bitcoins. This might surely be helpful for a lot of people who have a desire to start with bitcoins. Bitcoins are really doing great in terms of daily movement. We can't find these profits in any other commodity trading like stocks/forex, gold, etc.

Bitcoins being most volatile also gives us a lot of opportunities to make profits from the price movements. I was not known to the last fact you mentioned about bitcoins being declared dead for 379 times? This really should be a major point to be considered here.

There are not much who holds? I don't think so. If you ever see those stats made by voluntary research about how many bitcoins were being hold by the people

There is a lot of it that's being on held right now. Holders doesn't want to sell at any price right now and this make it contrary to what you are saying about people who are holding.

Well, you have a point in there, they kept hold until they will gain profit on it. These stats made me optimistic, I am really looking forward to the Bitcoin's price to rise within the year. As far as I remember, one of the stock markets in China has declared that it had around 2.7 million new Bitcoin wallet and around 500k of new wallets in the Ethereum network. Halving really affected the price though. Before the bull run last 2017, --halving was also there and the reason why it arouses. Indeed, perhaps this is the time of Bitcoin to shine again.

I don't see anything wrong on holding bitcoins until now and not selling it because as for me myself I am still holding bitcoin right now and still hoping that it will shines again just like what happened on the year 2017 in which bitcoin and other cryptocurrency are shining all over again so I am hoping that this year indeed will become a good year for bitcoin as well as the whole crypto market. If the China declared that there are so much new bitcoin wallet in them so that means there is a sign that the bitcoin and the cryptocurrency as well that it will shine right now.

I think that bitcoin will be declared dead many more times. There are always people who do not believe in anything or do not understand something, therefore they want Bitcoin to not exist. And those who understand the technology and understand its prospects earn decent money by investing in bitcoin.

All that you have said is true but this is the best and this is one of the reason why Bitcoin is still here :D.

This is just the start of it. Many are believing that Bitcoin will be a better year than last year because of halving. TBH, I don't see Bitcoin to reach new ATH this year but one thing is for sure. Bitcoin is here for us.

Except for this. Can you provide some statistical data that there are around 30,000-60,000 people who are holding $1,000,000 worth of BTC.
I don't believe in this. Yes whales are always there to pump and dump the market but the exact people who are holding kind of amount isn't near to that number.

We can't blame them, Bitcoin might be a possible enemy in their business or maybe they failed to earn profit in using bitcoin and try luring others not to try it and putting a bad image into it  :-\. As a bitcoin user for a year I think it is better to just ride the waves that bitcoin makes and get a profit into the fullest, Ofcourse I praise the wise idea of satoshi that he make it possible and now a technology that others are imitating.

you dont have to wait for the middle of 2020 because we are now going up in January and February so lets see if this will continue.

i know that it is hard to expect but we have no choice now but to do such waiting and keep the Holding strongly guys.

we are now months before the halving so expect more pressure in bitcoin price but i am very confident that all my waiting will have fruits.

The information you have provided here is not enough to prove that there is going to be increase this year, but anyway, we all wants the price of Bitcoin to increase this 2020 and we are strongly believing that there is going to be an increase. And yes I have seen a few analysis that were done by experts to prove that there is going to be increase this year.

But trust me, as long as it’s cryptocurrency that we are talking about here anything can happen. You can wake up and anything will happen. I did believe those predictions but that wasuntil yesterday when I started seeing news about US government auctioning 4000+ Bitcoin.

Everyone has a mindset of holding until it reaches back to $20k or more. To be honest, those new wallets doesn't really count for me. What matters is the new businesses and investors that are actually investing money to bitcoin and shares the same thought of holding and not selling at any point.

This creates scarcity which impacts the price of bitcoin. Halving is one of the greatest events for bitcoin and again, some are comparing the upcoming halving with the halving that Litecoin made because it has no impact but there's no point of comparing it.

Decent details, some information that i do not peruse yet were incorporated. i can not recall the last article which says bitcoin is dead. It appears to be long that I read it and reach that number at now . we should always trust that btc will perform preferable now over a year ago as splitting will happen this year.
