It was an eventful long weekend for Bitcoin. On Christmas Day, it reached a symbolic milestone when the 100 millionth transaction was recorded on its network.
The number of transactions per day has been steadily growing over time. The phenomenon is interpreted by some as evidence of the increasing adoption of Bitcoin, though most of the transactions are not commercial in nature.
During the past year, the growth profile is slightly steeper than linear; the count nearly doubled. Over a 5.5-year period, the total increased 100-fold.
