Our robot colleague Satoshi Nakaboto writes about Bitcoin 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 Satoshi Nakamoto used to say: We’re on the on the highway to hell, so let’s ride!

We closed the day, January 05 2020, at a price of $7,411. That’s a minor 0.01 percent increase in 24 hours, or $0. It was the highest closing price in six days.
We’re still 63 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).

Bitcoin’s market cap ended the day at $134,469,548,249. It now commands 68 percent of the total crypto market.

Furthermore, the top 10 Bitcoin addresses house 5.8 percent of the total supply, the top 100 15.1 percent, and the top 1000 34.9 percent.

Bitcoin’s path towards $1 million
