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 Hannah Arendt used to say: Crack open this tasty lobster!

Bitcoin price

We closed the day, February 27 2020, at a price of $8,784. That’s a minor 0.46 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$40.60. It was the lowest closing price in thirty-one days. We’re still 56 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).

Bitcoin’s market cap ended the day at $160,238,496,932. It now commands 65 percent of the total crypto market.

Bitcoin volume

Yesterday’s volume of $45,470,195,695 was the lowest in one day, 139 percent above last year’s average, and 9 percent below last year’s high. That means that yesterday, the Bitcoin network shifted the equivalent of 870 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 96.1 percent behind being on track. Bitcoin’s price should have been $225,955 by now, according to dickline.info.
