With the fact that there can ever only be 22 million Bitcoin in circulation, BTC has always been bound to be scarce over time as the asset flourishes in mainstream adoption while its value continues to rise. 

According to the latest data from the on-chain analytics firm, Glassnode, the amount of BTC that is dormant is beginning to surpass available Bitcoin for purchase on exchanges. Co-founder of Bitcoin-focused research firm Reflexivity, William Clemente, noted: “There is now more Bitcoin that hasn’t moved in at least 10 years than there is on exchanges.”

Bitcoin On Exchanges Less Than BTC That Are Dormant 

The Glassnode data indicates there could be a fast accumulation of BTC which has now put the amount of BTC on exchanges in a down-only mode compared to BTC which is dormant. The rapid growth and adoption of the crypto market have made the industry more crowded than ever.

Compared to 10 years ago when buying BTC might be quite tasking, purchasing BTC in these modern days is now as fast and efficient as possible so that literally anyone on the internet can have access to the asset given the various number of Bitcoin exchanges in the market.

How Bitcoin Has Revolutionized the Crypto Market

Coinmarketcap notes that there are over 500 exchanges in the market and more than 50% have Bitcoin listed. As of February 27, Glassnode revealed that there are only 2,272,798 BTC held by all exchanges combined.

This figure is relatively low compared to the amount of BTC that is dormant for 10 years or more which is 2,645,956 BTC accounting for 16% more than BTC on exchange reserves. Notably, the number of BTC held on exchanges hit an all-time high of 3,202,326 BTC as of March 2020 and has plummeted ever since. 

BTC Gearing For A Bearish Move?

While Bitcoin has been experiencing a change in circulation, the asset’s value hasn’t been left out. Since the beginning of the year, Bitcoin has surged by more than 40% after moving from a $16,000 low seen late last year to tapping as high as $25,000 earlier this month.

Bitcoin Two-Month Rally Slows Down, What’s Next?

2 years ago

However, the crypto asset’s rally has slowed down, up by less than 2% in February alone compared to its significant rally last month. BTC has only added about $1,500 to its value this month after trading above the $25,000 market for the first time in recent months. 

Furthermore, the BTC price chart has shown ambivalent moves in the past few days leaving traders in a bewildered state. Yesterday, the asset rallied by nearly 3%. Meanwhile, today, BTC has indicated a bearish trend, down by 0.2% in the last 24 hours.

Viewing the 1-day time frame, BTC is still above the support of $22,800. Should BTC break the support, the assets could be in for a continuous downtrend to take all the sell-side liquidity till it trades just above the $18,000 region.

Meet Samuel Edyme, Nickname - HIM-buktu. A web3 content writer, journalist, and aspiring trader, Edyme is as versatile as they come. With a knack for words and a nose for trends, he has penned pieces for numerous industry player, including AMBCrypto, Blockchain.News, and Blockchain Reporter, among others.

Edyme’s foray into the crypto universe is nothing short of cinematic. His journey began not with a triumphant investment, but with a scam. Yes, a Ponzi scheme that used crypto as payment roped him in. Rather than retreating, he emerged wiser and more determined, channeling his experience into over three years of insightful market analysis.

Before becoming the voice of reason in the crypto space, Edyme was the quintessential crypto degen. He aped into anything that promised a quick buck, anything ape-able, learning the ropes the hard way. These hands-on experience through major market events—like the Terra Luna crash, the wave of bankruptcies in crypto firms, the notorious FTX collapse, and even CZ’s arrest—has honed his keen sense of market dynamics.

When he isn’t crafting engaging crypto content, you’ll find Edyme backtesting charts, studying both forex and synthetic indices. His dedication to mastering the art of trading is as relentless as his pursuit of the next big story. Away from his screens, he can be found in the gym, airpods in, working out and listening to his favorite artist, NF. Or maybe he’s catching some Z’s or scrolling through Elon Musk’s very own X platform—(oops, another screen activity, my bad…)

Well, being an introvert, Edyme thrives in the digital realm, preferring online interaction over offline encounters—(don’t judge, that’s just how he is built). His determination is quite unwavering to be honest, and he embodies the philosophy of continuous improvement, or “kaizen,” striving to be 1% better every day. His mantras, “God knows best” and “Everything is still on track,” reflect his resilient outlook and how he lives his life.

In a nutshell, Samuel Edyme was born efficient, driven by ambition, and perhaps a touch fierce. He’s neither artistic nor unrealistic, and certainly not chauvinistic. Think of him as Bruce Willis in a train wreck—unflappable. Edyme is like trading in your car for a jet—bold. He’s the guy who’d ask his boss for a pay cut just to prove a point—(uhhh…). He is like watching your kid take his first steps. Imagine Bill Gates struggling with rent—okay, maybe that’s a stretch, but you get the idea, yeah. Unbelievable? Yes. Inconceivable? Perhaps.

Edyme sees himself as a fairly reasonable guy, albeit a bit stubborn. Normal to you is not to him. He is not the one to take the easy road, and why would he? That’s just not the way he roll. He has these favorite lyrics from NF’s “Clouds” that resonate deeply with him: “What you think's probably unfeasible, I've done already a hundredfold.”

PS—Edyme is HIM. HIM-buktu. Him-mulation. Him-Kardashian. Himon and Pumba. He even had his DNA tested, and guess what? He’s 100% Him-alayan. Screw it, he ate the opp.
