brew master is right
a kind of more fair valuation would be to take all the UTXO and to 'price' each coin based on when it last moved as most people 'value' coin when then send/receive it
at the moment the 18,673,250 coins in circulation has a utxo movement value total of about $328bill
(research: realized cap)
Does that matter? The Bitcoins bought at mere cents during 2011, and HODLed can be sold at the current market price today. That would make sense if ONLY those 2011 coins, or whatever year they last moved, can only be sold for the last price they last moved.
you have no clue.. i guess you did not research realized cap.. typical
people dont sell at a loss.. and when those at break-even/profit do sell, the new buyer values the coin at the price they bought it at
todays $59k wont remain at $59k if everyone was to sell their coin.. the 18mill coins are not all worth $59k
ill try to emphasise this three times to avoid your misunderstandings requiring me to repeat basics again
emphasis: not all coins will get the todays price of $59k
emphasis: coins are not all equally at a price of $59k
emphasis: those selling will only sell if they can atleast break even/profit
what you realise is as the price goes down people stop selling if its less than the price they paid for it.
^i wont repeat it but read the above line in your head three times
so if the price went to below $10.
only the people buying 2012-2009 would still selleveryone else will hold
these basic facts of trading. lean into things like 'support lines' and valuations
i hold btc from 2012 when coins were $6.. and i dont actually care bout todays price as i automatically know that i could profit even if the price tanks down by 99.98%
the value of btc is always the value when it has sold. .. i have not sold. so i have not valued btc at $59k
someone buying in February at $60k wont be selling while bitcoin is below $60k.
they hoard and keep a $60k value in their mind even when the price went down to $55k last month
i think you may need to spend some time on a term called 'realized value'..
learn the psychology of things like 'buy low sell high'. 'never sell at a loss'.'hoard'. 'hodl'
i mean i did give a little hint in the end of my message about researching realized value
