So after you find the missing seed, how to make sure the owner of that wallet won't lose it and correlated fund to you? There are few tools to use and recover wallets offline. |

The retail game cannot beat the institutional one: there are infinite orders of magnitude between their money ammo and those available to poor consumers. The bitcoin market changed its face for good, forget 2017.
You can not say institutes beat retailers and vice versa. They are two mutual components of any market. In different phase, one component dominates the another and it flips at different market phase. Mid-point of the parabola rise is around, according to some speculations - This tweet
- My calculation (with same assumptions that not count for bigger power in current and future market. I meant if taking into consideration of bigger power from institutes, retailers as increase of adoption, price would be higher than what I calculated)
- Mayer bands (it is only in Bullish extension, not Overbought yet)
- My calculation almost matches with this chart (upper bound but BTC can rock over upper bound)
- The party is here but please be cautious of hiccups
Bitcoin $BTC is redefining the concept of "overbought." Bull markets become and remain overbought. Major bull markets become overbought majorly. Historic bull markets become historically overbought. Red arrows mark midpoints of parabolic advances

Happy new year and I have my first update in 2021 for you. - Price maintains its rise since the massive weak down with the return of Western market after a very long holidays.
- Price sets it new all time high.
- Volume: I talked about volume in previous posts and here you go with new all time high in daily volume (in $) within a first week of 2021
- Reminder: there is new all time high for volume but it is in $ value. Keep in mind that daily volume in BTC traded is different and has not yet reached new all time high
- The bar chart is for top-20 days in daily volume

They used over-killing fee. Around the time of that transaction (5:26 AM UTC), fee at 50 sat/(v)byte (even 10 - 15 mins before that time-point) can help to get confirmation next 1 block but they used 100 sat/(v)byte. They over-charge on miner fees because if they didn't, they would be overwhelmed with questions like where is my bitcoin? My bitcoin hasn't arrived in over an hour, etc. I knew and as I said, they want 1-attempt action and finish it (Replace-by-Fee is marked as No). Hence, the 100% higher transaction fee is acceptable if taking the core approach of exchange: Don't want to waste resources and replace transactions to save fees. The rest more than 90% of withdrawal fee after a deduction for transaction fee goes to their service operation, maintenance, technical things. It is fact and a thing to accept before people start to use exchanges. Fair or not fair for both sides (exchanges or customers), I don't bring it here. My message for this thread readers is beware of this fact and try to use non-custodial wallets if they are not trading. I know there are alternatives to withdraw funds (in altcoins): Dogecoin, Litecoin, XRP, TRON, etc. Some alternatives charge withdrawal fees but almost zero in USDT value. It is not the main purpose of this thread but as someone are discussing about it, I admitted I used alts for my withdrawals if possible but for every batch, it is not a huge fund. If I move a huge fund, I use bitcoin.
It's not true for all the exchanges. For instance, ftx.com doesn't charge any fee on withdrawal in most of the cases unless total withdrawal amount is bigger than the users trading volume
You are correct. I know some crypto gambling sites waive the fee but not sure about exchanges. All and most are different in meanings and I should use most (corrected it already). I used ftx, not much and did not make withdrawal with BTC so I did not notice it. Thanks.
for Doge is just 50, that's 0.50$ Doge barely has fees, so this is 98% profit for the exchange. I've seen withdrawal fees for XLM as low as 0.0001 (or even more zeros?), I don't get why they only want to make a profit on certain fees. All cryptocurrencies (or most ? -- if I missed something) charge fees for their transactions. Fortunately, the transaction costs are different and partially depends on value of each cryptocurrency. A transaction fee with one Dogecoin is different than with 1 XRP, and very different than 0.01 ETH, ie.
Your discussions remind me about one fact in my nation: - Schools charge fee for infrastructure maintenance. Personally, I think it sucks and they can publicly charge all in tuition fee. Charging additional fee and call it as infrastructure maintenance fee is sucked and somewhat corrupted or faulty analogy.
- Imagine: Do I have to pay for infrastructure fee when I go to a hotel and take one room?
- I don't know whether the infrastructure fee is charge at schools in Western/ developed nations?

Agree with most analyses now that retail fomo won't be as strong as in the past, but that is only with the past and current demographic of developed economies. The East Asian fomo, with a significant population of high disposable income should lay the foundation for a new breed of retail fomo... Not to mention later from emerging economies.
Bitcoiners' Demographic over years- Surveys have many things with their survey designs, then analytical methods and analytical process. Those stats in that thread are all for reference with zero guarantee on their accuracy.
- From my reading time, I found out that older generations have been more interested in bitcoin. It makes sense as they are most conservative people so if they accept bitcoin, are readily to spend capital to bitcoin, the younger generations will have more adoption on bitcoin.
As someone above said, it's only just getting started!
A lot of people who refused to touch BTC last time around will get in this time.
As being said, I expect bigger effects from both institutes and retailers. Game is set but beware of hiccups along the adventure in 2021. The estimate in OP is 'naive' estimate, with many assumption from past data. It is impossible to calculate or estimate power of new investor sources. That price is still lower than some other speculation.
In reality, institutes will have effects (probably bigger), and retailers might have very bigger effects than what they created in 2017.

is it actually revenue, or just recouped costs? we need a deeper analysis. i once dug into some of binance's wallet consolidations during high congestion periods and as i recall, they pay very significant fees to ensure on-demand withdrawals. even when network fees are cheap, exchanges may feel the need to hedge against future high fee periods too.
They used over-killing fee. Around the time of that transaction (5:26 AM UTC), fee at 50 sat/(v)byte (even 10 - 15 mins before that time-point) can help to get confirmation next 1 block but they used 100 sat/(v)byte. It is not a new discovery that exchanges usually use over-killing fees for their transactions. They need to prepare for sudden rise in mempool AND don't want to spend sources to do Replace-by-Fee. They want something absolutely is done with 1 attempt. The over-killing transaction fee (100 sat/vbyte) can be accepted but earn 93.1% of withdrawal fees (in BTC) is what I brought here. It is not an attack on Binance as it exists with all exchanges. |

Google trend with bitcoin keyword (globally) is on a rise and it is currently about 25% lower than its all time high in 2017.
Wrong time frames are being compares here, but it is interesting to see that the trend is already going up this soon. All time high in 2017 was the end of the bull run after lots of rises and when the bubble was reached whereas now is just the beginning of the bull run and if anything it is more like the beginning of 2017 rather than its end. Thanks. I know that and this thread is for very robust overview on the market with some assumptions behind: - Gogole Trend does not change their algorithm for those stats over last 5 years.
- Beware and accept biases from Google Trend stats
- Assume the power or force of retailers on the market in 2 periods are the same
- Skip other power/ force from institutes in near future
In reality, institutes will have effects (probably bigger), and retailers might have very bigger effects than what they created in 2017. The hype is just getting started  I am speechless, it is not what I expected hours ago.  |

As per the above data it seems that 2014 was the worst year for bitcoin. It had the lowest number of positive streaks and highest number of negative streaks in 2014.
You can see the difference in total rise / fall streaks in bearish or bullish year. In bullish year, rise streaks dominate the data, and longevity of streaks look longer as well as percent of gain in every streak tends to be higher and vice versa for bearish year. Bitcoin gains were moderate as of 2020 but if it keeps growing on this rate then 2021 might be a very good year for bitcoin. Chances are there we might break the positive streak record of 2017.
Records (for Rise) are 2 parts: - Total streaks within a specific year
- Max value of % gain among all streaks in a specific year. It makes sense to take profit
- Unfortunately, it is purely data, and does not give you safe heaven to end with profit. Entry and exit points with correlated period are key to finish your trades/ investments.
If you don't mind which tool do you use to get the bitcoin price for each year/month ? Is there any API or something ?
I maybe forgot to mention data source in OP (that I usually do), it is taken from coinmarketcap.com. |

From the visual chart, it seems that retailers (old, new) rejoin or join the party again. The time-series line for Google trend with bitcoin keyword (globally) is on a rise and it is currently about 25% lower than its all time high in 2017. The thread is to announce the potential of a new wave from retailers. A reminder is you do know what sort of retailers' effects and their longevitty, then what will happen after that. It is a very simplified view. Sometimes, we need to be as simplest as possible. From the data points around 15k (Bitcoin Google trend) to 20k, it is ~ 33% increase for Bitcoin Google trend. Within the same period, the price of bitcoin rose from $15455 to $19140. It is about 23.85% rise. If history repeats itself, the price of bitcoin from current all time high at $34778 will rise up to $ 43072. That price is still lower than some other speculation. Again, it is not my financial advice, just my opinion and another different way to view the market.

Instead of combine data from those sites (I also don't know how to download data from their charts), I use data from Google trend with 2 keywords: bitcoin and bitcointalk.org. I use the multiplier 200 to make the chart more visual comparative. A combination of two variables for bitcoin, bitcointalk.org and Bitcoin price (daily close price from coinmarketcap.com), here you go with the time series chart. What do we have here? - Google Trend with Bitcoin keyword has sort of correlation with bitcoin price
- In contrast, the Google Trend with bitcointalk.org keyword does not have correlation with bitcoin price

At least one output is a change address so at most 73 customers  Initially, when I wrote OP, I forgot about change address but minutes later, I thought of it but still not sure there is or is not change address in that batch. The possibility of having change address is big but it is not 100% probability. It is reason I hesitate to edit OP. Anyway, thanks for the correction.
but it can not be accurate because exchanges withdrawal fee are not the same, they are different from exchanges to exchanges.
I left a note that for other exchanges or other periods, do your own research and calculations. Having a noncustodial wallet has been the best, not even only about transaction fee, but also about bitcoin and other crypto security and safety, exchanges are not safe and secure by design, they are often hacked.
It is not, at least IMO. You are overestimate the non-custodial wallet and security for your funds. Think of it this way: - Exchanges (big ones) have big security teams and they have multiple layers for their systems. But they are main targets of hackers so consequently the risks of attacks, hacks on exchanges are high or higher.
- Non-custodial wallets mean you have to fully control and secure your devices, your wallets. I am sure not all people are using non-custodial wallets keep their devices clean. Or they don't do multiply layers of protections. Or they regularly do stupid things.
To sum up, if you are doing stupid things on your devices, non-custodial wallet is worse than exchange wallets. Sometimes, exchanges can automatically protect your accounts from compromises. If you have healthy web-surfing, and don't often trade on exchanges, let's go with non-custodial wallets.
we as the users shouldn't assume 'withdrawal fees' equivalent to 'network fees'.
They are different things but somewhat can be connected IF exchanges apply dynamic withdrawal fee. In reality, most of exchanges are using Static (fix) withdrawal fee that does not correlate to transaction fee on the network.
Oversimplistic way of looking at things.
Those exchanges need to make money, what to you might look like a simple payment has people verifying, monitoring, and giving the go-ahead for it, it has support, it has an infrastructure to pay for all of it. Yeah, they make money from withdrawals fee, it's normal, I would be more amazed if somebody would do it for free.
There are many factors behind and as I wrote in OP, it is not an attack on exchanges. Instead, it is a reminder to people to beware of what they get from exchanges (chances to trade, etc.) and what they get loss from exchanges (withdrawal fees, ie.) I know exchanges need to have teams behind to keep their services operating safely. They need to have salary budgets for their staffs, and so on. If people decide to use exchanges, they automatically accept those (dis)advantages. Exchanges get their incomes from many sources: maker/ taker fees, listing fees, withdrawal fees, and partnerships with crypto projects, or manipulate their order books and make liquidations, etc.
Definitely, their fees could be cheaper, but fees are there for companies to make money and maybe for clients to keep as many coins on the exchange as possible so that their liquidity would be as high as possible.
Higher or lower, community can make voices but must accept ToS to use exchanges.
Look at it in % of BTC is better as the figure in USD will be changed with bitcoin price. The percent is not small -- 93.1% go to exchange, the rest (6.9% is for transaction fee to miners) |

Excellent data compilation, thanks.
You are welcome. It is my love to do this as I am stats enthusiast. I like how stable is the Min of close price in the second graph. This shows us that the price is steadily rising even the fluctuations.
Truly it is. This fact (growth of bitcoin price) is also reflected through the yearly lowest price. Check details (stats and charts) there. Despite of some ups and downs, the yearly lowest price almost rises in 2 consecutive years. The exception is year 2015, when price ($171.51) has -40.7% compares to yearly lowest price in 2014 ($289.3) |

It is not a new story, a new theory. Exchanges always do batch payments for their customers' withdrawal requests. They do only one batch payment in a single transaction for 10, 20, 50 withdrawals from 10, 20, 50 customers. For each customer, they charge a fix amount of withdrawal fee. Hey. Let's see how they earn profits from the type of fee. This transaction has: - 1 input (from the exchange)
- 74 outputs (to 74 customers)
- Each withdrawal will be charged with 0.0005 BTC as fee.
- Net withdrawal fee: 74 x 0.005 = 0.037 BTC
- The fee the exchange paid to miner is: 0.002554 BTC
- Profit = 0.037 - 0.002554 =.034446 BTC
- Profit in USD: 0.034446 *31000 = $1067.826
You can check this fact whenever you make your withdrawal on any exchange.
A simple message - Choose a non-custodial wallet and use it to store your bitcoin and to broadcast your bitcoin transactions if you are not trading on exchanges.

I saw this tweet and it was released last week, not today. I agree that it is a most stupid, brainless FUD.
1 Bitcoin is always 100,000,000 Satoshis
I love the chart from coinmarketcap but not the original chart. The one I love is after all indicators: marketcap, Price, and 24h volume are hidden. What is left after that? - Only one orange horizontal line that represents 1 BTC is always 1 BTC
- 1 satoshi is always 1 satoshi
- Only 2 things change:
- Price of bitcoin/ satoshi
- The changes in intensity of bitcoin usage to satoshi usages in transactions

Its the same as Bitcoin, has its "losses", and has its winning streaks, and no matter what statistical data you show, there will always be people who claim Bitcoin has died, despite proving time, and time again its actually moving in a upward trend in the long term.
Streaks, I have it for both rise and fall streaks. Below is the part of table for 2020-streaks. In the last year (2020), there are 10 streaks in total (with my streak definition is for 5 +-days at least to be considered as a streak) and only 2 of them (20%) are Fall streaks. The rest 8 streaks (80%) are all Rise streaks. The last streak (also a rise) is lasting since late 2020 till early days of 2021 (yesterday) and might continue if bitcoin can bounce well today after dip few hours ago. 50% of 8 rise streaks have their duration (longevity) last from 6 to 8 days (I have to round the raw results) with the median is at 6 days. The shortest and longest rise streaks are 5 and 9 days, respectively. 50% of 8 rise streaks have changes (in %) range from 12.3% to 26.3% with the median is at 16.9%. The smallest and largest streaks are 8.8% and 32.2%, respectively. Raw results variable | N mean sd p50 p25 p75 min max

Let me take this chance to bring my thread to life discussion again. - Sending BTC to BCH or whatever coins, vice versa. Don't do this, newbies !
- Something to note when you are making a transaction
- Check the ticker first
- Check the warning message on the platform you are using (whether additional details are required as tag)
- Check the chain (for USDT transactions, ie. there are few chains: OMNI layer on BTC chain, ERC20, TRC20, EOS, etc. Move your USDT or coins cross-chains will cause losses)
- Check the address (first, and last few characters if you don't check all characters)
- Check the amount you send out and the % of fee. Sometimes people send out a transaction that is eaten up by transaction fee.

The year 2020 ends with the last rising streak from 29 December 2020 to 2 Jan 2021. It is also a 55 th Rise streak and 75 th streak (for both Rise and Fall streaks) in history of bitcoin. The close price on 2 Jan 2021 is $32,127 so if today the close price is higher than that, the 75 th will keep going. Let's see. When I have spare time in coming days, I will make the analysis for Weekly streaks that will be an upgraded from Daily streaks. Stay tuned! |

3 Jan anniversary! Today is the anniversary day for Bitcoin's genesis block. Let's me use this remarkable day to make a plot for Bitcoin close price on 3Jan-dates. There are 2 exceptions: in 2013 and in 2021. Data from coinmarketcap.com in 2013 is from 29 Apr 2013, and this year, the date 3 Jan 2021 has not yet ended. What a growth! You can also look at price history for yearly low price in previous post. The year 2020 ends with the last rising streak from 29 December 2020 to 2 Jan 2021. It is also a 55 th Rise streak and 75 th streak (for both Rise and Fall streaks) in history of bitcoin. The close price on 2 Jan 2021 is $32,127 so if today the close price is higher than that, the 75 th will keep going. Let's see. When I have spare time in coming days, I will make the analysis for Weekly streaks that will be an upgraded from Daily streaks. Stay tuned! |
