Story by: Satoshi Nakaboto

Our robot colleague Satoshi Nakaboto writes about Bitcoin $BTC▲6.21% every fucking day.

Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Habermass used to say: Let’s pull this rabbit out the hat!

Bitcoin Price

We closed the day, September 2 2019, at a price of $10,346. That’s a decent 6.03 percent increase in 24 hours, or $589. It was the highest closing price in six days.

We’re still 48 percent below Bitcoin‘s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).

Bitcoin market cap

Bitcoin’s market cap ended the day at $185,333,114,163. It now commands 71 percent of the total crypto market.

Bitcoin volume

Yesterday’s volume of $17,248,102,294 was the highest in four days, 12 percent above the year’s average, and 61 percent below the year’s high.

Bitcoin transactions

A total of 327,099 transactions were conducted yesterday, which is 2 percent below the year’s average and 27 percent below the year’s high.

Bitcoin transaction fee

Yesterday’s average transaction fee concerned $0.31. That’s $3.40 below the year’s high of $3.71.

Bitcoin distribution by address

As of now, there are 17,408 Bitcoin millionaires, or addresses containing more than $1 million worth of Bitcoin.

Furthermore, the top 10 Bitcoin addresses house 5.4 percent of the total supply, the top 100 14.5 percent, and the top 1000 34.5 percent.

Company with a market cap closest to Bitcoin

With a market capitalization of $185 Billion, Anheuser-Busch InBev has a market capitalization most similar to that of Bitcoin at the moment.

Bitcoin’s path towards $1 million

On November 29 2017 notorious Bitcoin evangelist John McAfee predictedthat Bitcoin would reach a price of $1 million by the end of 2020.

He even promised to eat his own dick if it doesn’t. Unfortunately for him it’s 89.1 percent behind being on track. Bitcoin‘s price should have been $95,653 by now, according to dickline.info.

Bitcoin Energy Consumption

Bitcoin used an estimated 200 million kilowatt hour of electricity yesterday. On a yearly basis that would amount to 73 terawatt hour. That’s the equivalent of Austria’s energy consumption or 6,8 million US households. Bitcoin’s energy consumption now represents 0.3% of the whole world’s electricity use.

Bitcoin on Twitter

Yesterday 17,337 fresh tweets about Bitcoin were sent out into the world. That’s 9.2 percent below the year’s average. The maximum amount of tweets per day this year about Bitcoin was 41,687.
