Investors take profit

Investors who deposited their bitcoins in 2013 did so when the BTC rate was between $ 134 and $ 1,151. In 2014 and 2015, the average bitcoin rate fluctuated between $ 500 and $ 750..

Meanwhile, on November 30, 2020, bitcoin closed the month at $ 18.702. Accordingly, the profit of long-term investors could have been from 1524% to a staggering 13 856% by that time..

According to the statistics of Unchained Capital on bitcoin hodlers, in November, 1.19% of the total supply of BTC came out of hibernation, left storages and became active in the network.

If we proceed from the fact that at the time of writing the total supply was about 18,561,000 BTC, this means that we are talking about more than 220,000 BTC. At current prices, their value is estimated at about $ 4.2 billion..

Hodlers don’t give up

However, judging by the data, long-term investors do not adhere to any one strategy, and the overall picture looks rather motley. Most of them are not only hoarding coins, but also increasing the size of their reserves..

Indeed, the proportion of coins stored for five to seven years has declined. However, for bitcoins with a period of inactive storage for more than 10 years, the same indicator increased by 0.19% from 9.73% to 9.92%.

The increase is observed in other categories as well. So, for bitcoins that have been sleeping for seven to ten years, this share increased slightly from 7.08% to 7.28%, and for those that were kept motionless for three to five years, it jumped by 0.69% from 10. 06% to 10.85%.

In general, over 61% of the total supply of bitcoins has not been in motion for over a year. This may indirectly confirm the opinion of a number of crypto enthusiasts that bitcoin is no longer perceived by investors as a speculative asset and is turning into a store of value and a hedging tool against inflation..

In mid-November, we already talked about the GlassNode data, according to which the rate of new addresses created on the bitcoin network soared to the maximum value since January 2018..
