randomness is the lack of knowledge of how the end result was achieved.

true randomness is where even with backward engineering/pattern recognition/brute force. no one can replicate the method within their lifetime to get the result.

so again
my first number: 9472957392
if you can tell me what my next number, then you have proved randomness does not exist.
if you cant answer. then no point even suggesting randomness does not exist

The position of bitcoin as SOV has grown with massive adoption and confidence from holders. We keep seeing large acquisition from more wealthy names and individuals. We expect as the marketcap crosses trillion we should see other coins join in that size of figure in the year. This size of fund attracts countries and capitalists around the world to take position like their counterparts before they miss out.

It is not certain if bitcoin will be here for a lifetime. There is still a tendency that it will be replaced by a much more better currency. Just like the fiat currency that we wanted to be replaced with cryptocurrency, bitcoin will also come to a point that people will be tired by it and create much more better currency. But this event will be no happening within a decade starting today since I believe bitcoin will reach the point of being mainstreamed and will be accepted by all countries. But far off in the future everything has a limit and an end and bitcoin is included.

websites like bitnodes list a few nodes ~10k and its easy to search out if their 'network' is amazon or other remote service

https://bitnodes.earn.com/nodes/?q=Amazon.com,%20Inc.
out of 9450 at time of writing over 1000 are using hetzner and 800 are using amazon

......
full node users are not 'miners' a miner is a separate device that is called an ASIC and an asic connects to a pool the individual who has a ASIC in their house gains nothing from 'solo mining' from his own node but does gain something from syndicating with others in a pool where the pool manager has a full node and manages which asic gets which work

whales? nah...
exchanges swapping and cutting up their cold/hotwallets.. yep

for newbies:
the stats do not mean that all coins in circulation are in play and all moved. it means that exchanges do as the example below shows

exchange 10,000btc -> exchange 9,999
                              -> user 1btc
exchange 9,999btc -> exchange 9,998
                              -> user 1btc

transactions like this does not represent on the stats as just 1btc moving per tx. but 10,000 per tx, meaning the example shows 19,999 moved. even though the exchange has only handed out 2btc.
exchanges do this all the time. use large hoards of funds to pay out to smaller amounts, then keep the 'change' and repeat multiple times a day. sometimes doing this even in the same block. without even having any script/code to plan out a proper spending protocol of one tx per block of multiple outputs in one go

take this example
it shows one user has ~37btc. and instead of spending that 37btc once. it spend it and gets back 36.93.. then spends again and gets back 36.90 then spends again and gets back 36.79 ALL IN THE SAME BLOCK..
silly devs allow spending of non confirmed tx's to be put in blocks. devs actually allow spam like tis to occur.

nodes/wallets should be set to only use confirmed tx's as the input. but the crappy RBF feature has made that safety check of only spending confirmed funds unachievable

rant over
