Originally, I wanted to generate the metric “number of addresses with a balance greater than zero” myself, directly from my own node, because I saw somewhere on Twitter that it peaked exactly at the 2017 price peak. I thought it could help me predict the next cycle tops.

Well, generating that turned out to be way harder than I initially estimated, but the process eventually led me to develop a solid piece of software capable of generating all kinds of on-chain metrics on my own.

So, I learned a bit of web development and launched the website a few years ago, I think it was right after the FTX implosion in 2022.

Since then, I’ve kept improving it in my spare time (I still have a fiat job), adding new metrics and visualizations. I mostly use it for my own bitcoin price analysis, since traffic is low and I don’t have a meaningful number of subscribers.
