Bitcoin Doubling Analysis
According to a report of crypto analytics company Chainanalysis on the 19th of November, the liquidity levels, as well as the flows of exchange, have been continuously changing very dramatically from the time the prices of Bitcoin have been slashed down to half.
This business enterprise of analytics identifies the illiquid or the investor based Bitcoin that act as wallets which send below 25% BTC that is received by them. However, the remaining of the wallets are called liquid Bitcoin or the trader based Bitcoin.
The data gathered by Chainanalysis reveal the number of BTC which has been declining and has been available for the new investors. On the other hand, illiquid Bitcoin has been rapidly surging during that time. According to Chainanalysis, the total number of BTC which is presently liquid is estimated to be as low as that of 3.4 million.

Paul T. Jones, manager of the hedge fund, has compared purchasing BTC with investing in companies like Apple and Google. Also in companies like Square that has an investment of about $50 million which is almost 1% of the entire asset of Bitcoin.

However, Glassnode Studio had recently reported that the mining revenue of Bitcoin has once again returned to pre-halving levels. Before this report, BTC miners had been able to earn an annualized record that showed $21.2 million in revenue on every single day.
