“D-coins”: bitcoin outputs worth exactly 500 BTC. During the late 2018 crash below $4k, 500+ D-coins were spent in a matter of days (250,000+ BTC). Interesting to watch it happen around the 1-min mark in this animation.

It's officially been 300 weeks since 2020 began. Saving $50/week in bitcoin during that time would’ve turned $15k into 0.58 BTC, now worth over $63k. Saving in gold instead would’ve yielded 7.45 oz of gold, worth just over $28k. Bitcoin’s clearly a superior savings technology.

“M-coins”: bitcoin outputs worth exactly 1,000 BTC. There are currently only 326 M-coins in circulation.

The top 9 cryptocurrencies (excluding stablecoins) have a combined market cap of about 10M BTC. Everybody knows that's way too high. You know it, I know it, everybody knows it.
