Update on Transactions and Hash Rate
Yesterday, the Bitcoin blockchain saw 325,947 transactions recorded on it. Regarding growth in actual usage of the blockchain for transactions, observe that over the past 7 days daily transactions have risen by about 2.08%, though it should be noted this past week the trend should be described as not clear — at least on a two-week basis. If Bitcoin does regularly grow transactions, it may need to derive its value as money for buying certain goods/services. In terms of transaction fees, the average cost for sending Bitcoin yesterday ended up being approximately $0.48 US dollars. The average transaction fee has been declining at a rate of about 3.97% per week, but the average amount of money sent in transactions, in US dollars, is down 9.02% week over week. Regarding Bitcoin’s hash rate, which serves as a measure of the network’s computational power, it has managed to trend upwards over the past 30 days. It has been growing daily by a rate of approximately 0.44%. Ultimately, the security of Bitcoin is improving, because the hash rate trend is upwards — which implies the trend in mining strength is now more intensive. This may help Bitcoin attract more high-value transactions.
