Big update on the hashrate paper by Teo Geldner and me, which admittedly I am a little bit proud of! 💡

We are the first to propose a hashrate filter derived from Bitcoin's protocol features (block arrivals, Poisson luck).

Our filter removes 94% of day-to-day luck.

OPEN-source chain analysis! 👀

I built an open-source chain analysis tool that anyone can use.

It requires no payment, no login, and no data you search is ever seen by Tracey’s server.

Everything you search in Tracey is processed directly in your browser.

All of Tracey’s heuristics are public and have clearly described shortcomings. The entire website comes with tooltips explaining to you what each step does. Most of its clustering rules are pulled from the disclosed research papers, some I wrote myself to be more conservative.

I built Tracey for myself, but thought it might be useful to other people as well – especially in light of all the recent thefts of funds. It can’t help you create evidence, but it may help you find some leads on where your money is moving on bitcoin. 1/4 🔽

So you are telling me Bitcoin is already in the middle of its lifecycle and that it is only down from here?!?

A newly published BIS database documents 568 historical currencies dating back to 1850.

The median lifespan of those currencies? Just 33 years.

In other words, Bitcoin has already existed for more than half as long as the median government-issued currency in the dataset.
