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 Isaac Newton used to say: To infinity, and beyond!

Bitcoin Price

We closed the day, November 18 2019, at a price of $8,309. That’s a notable 3.08 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$264.68. It was the lowest closing price in twenty-four days. We’re still 58 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).

Bitcoin’s market cap ended the day at $150,025,712,267. It now commands 66 percent of the total crypto market.

Bitcoin volume

Yesterday’s volume of $21,579,470,673 was the highest in two days, 34 percent above the year’s average, and 52 percent below the year’s high. That means that yesterday, the Bitcoin network shifted the equivalent of 457 tons of gold.

Bitcoin’s path towards $1 million

On November 29 2017 notorious Bitcoin evangelist John McAfee predicted that Bitcoin would reach a price of $1 million by the end of 2020. He even promised to eat his own dick if it doesn’t. Unfortunately for him it’s 94.1 percent behind being on track. Bitcoin’s price should have been $138,737 by now, according to dickline.info.
