i found a transaction that probably caused the bitcoin days destroyed spike. It was in block 412183. [...]

Interesting, thanks. That would suggest more people are withdrawing BTC than depositing at whichever exchange that is.

According to bitinfocharts it's the #3 Richest Bitcoin Address moving coins.

https://bitinfocharts.com/bitcoin/address/3Kg7Cmooris7cLErTsijq6qR1FH3cTiK2G

The same address provoked a reddit thread when it previously moved coins a year ago. Nobody proved who owned it, but the last poster guesses it belongs to a big exchange. During the latest transaction it sent 67,272 BTC back to itself, and 1,527.77775556 BTC to each of 18 addresses. I only studied one, but it had so many small transactions passing through it that I assume it's an exchanges hot wallet.

This is the transaction.

This is a quote from the reddit thread about it moving coins a year ago.

Given the timing and the fact that a lot have ended up here https://blockchain.info/address/3Kg7Cmooris7cLErTsijq6qR1FH3cTiK2G yet a bunch are still here https://blockchain.info/address/3HyULbPVM739jPVk4i3PKZ4LibhYP1HsLc it seems like a hot and cold wallet and given the size of the funds it looks like an exchange to me.

wowzers very old coins on the move.

The old coins could also just be change from a smaller tx from an old wallet (ie just noise)... anyone looked at the tx ?

EDIT: Or maybe it's Craig Wright lol

i had the same though.
i wouldn't be surprised if it was him, moving even a small amount of bitcoin from 2009-2010 probably makes the days destroyed chart spike like mad.


I checked the transactions with the most bitcoin days destroyed at the bottom of the page here http://blockr.io/trivia/tx

The highest recent one this year was caused by 20,844 old coins moved on 2016-01-07, but the latest one doesn't even show up in ten pages of results.

This is the one from 2016-01-07

Has anyone tracked down the transaction(s) responsible for the latest spike?

crash back  to 420 imminent
Nope. You can't stop the unstoppable.
Every day thousands of people are opening their very first bitcoin wallet.

What if the old coins on the move offsets the thousands of people are opening their very first bitcoin wallet every day? Does that mean the price won't do anything?
i had not considered that

extremely stable price imminent

456 will be sticky as fuck.


hahahahaha

I like your flexibility Adam... you seem to be getting a bit back to your old self....  Wink



Three completely different predictions in the past 4 hours.

1) $460 imminent
2) brace yourselves for $420
3) we're gonna be sticking at $456 for a while...

Better than watching a WWF match.   Grin

Even if those coins are meant to be sold the offset will last for a very limited amount of time. You can't stop the unstoppable.

BTCE hit $457 and OKcoin is $455 so the 3rd world exchanges are no longer behind the west for the first time in like a month.  Price is definitely going up.

The bitcoin scenery keeps getting dumber and uglier everyday.

Or perhaps you simply paid less attention to scenery when prices were more exciting.

You can use BTC as collateral to short Eth.

I don't see it going that far. Might even be happening now (I never can make sense of ETH). At some point very soon, a big holder is going to drop the hammer and giggle into his coffee he's beat everyone else to the dump, including DAO itself.

My neither. I just enjoyed reading the exaggeration that bitcoin advocates try to use. I find the whole thing quite amusing that people like roach are the current most active proponents for bitcoin here. The bitcoin scenery keeps getting dumber and uglier everyday.
ETH isn't a smart choice for any long term investments. Too many variables in the fundamentals that are not yet set. But it's excellent for daytrading. It's momentum (up or down) is mostly strong and fades gradually, and that gives it predictability. BTC momentum is weak, short lasting and unpredictable. BTC is only attractive to "I'll just buy some, and then sit on my ass for years, while hoping really-really hard that I'll get rich" thinking people.


Even though I agree overall with your description of recent performance of ETH as compared with BTC, you should recognize that past performance is not a very exact indicator of future performance.... but yeah, your indication that BTC is likely a much more secure long term investment relative to ETH seems a valid assessment, in spite of your apparent efforts to make fun of it for such attributes.

Good morning Bitcoinland.

Still in the $450s I see.

BTC looks sooo fucking weak right now and that only few weeks apart from Halving, not the best sign imo.

A stable price is a great thing. It shows that we can hold the $450s no problem, even with over $1.6 million in mined coins being sold each day.

Imagine what happens when that number is cut in half.

Very good point indeed. Halving effect is even stronger in a market with very low volume.
