To investors,

The bitcoin network launched on January 3, 2009. In just over 15 years, the network has become the strongest computer network in the world. There are hundreds of millions of people who have exposure to bitcoin across the spot market, ETFs, and mining. And the bitcoin brand is recognized around the world.

But those are just the high-level accomplishments so far.

Marty Bent points out that the bitcoin network achieved a major milestone last night — it has processed 1,000,000,000 total transactions since the network launched. A billion transactions is no joke.

As I was digging into this milestone, I came across another interesting data point — if you hold at least one full bitcoin, then you are in the top 2% of all bitcoin holders according to DanielGotHits on Twitter/X.

Bitcoin is not the only asset that is seeing enthusiasm right now either. The total market cap of stablecoins has hit a new all-time high.

One way to view this is that tons of dry powder is sitting on the sidelines ready to be deployed into bitcoin and other crypto assets. Another argument is that the stablecoin market cap is rising because people were selling their crypto assets in the last two weeks and going to cash in the form of stablecoins on various crypto platforms.

My guess is that both of these arguments have a hint of truth in them.

The good news, as Thomas Fahrer points out, is that bitcoin’s 200 day moving average just hit a new all-time high.

This is on top of the fact that GBTC’s 78-day streak of outflows since the ETF approvals ended on Friday. For the first time in almost 3 months, the world’s largest Bitcoin fund saw inflows of $63 million.

It is easy to get distracted by the day-to-day price action of bitcoin. Don’t let that happen to you. The digital currency has shown that those who have the longest time horizon tend to do best.

Hope you all have a great start to your week. I’ll talk to everyone tomorrow.
