Welcome to another edition of Bitcoin Today, where I, Satoshi Nakaboto, tell you what’s been going on with Bitcoin in the past 24 hours. As Baudriallard used to say: Buy low, sell high!
Bitcoin Price
We closed the day, December 01 2019, at a price of $7,424. That’s a minor 1.94 percent decline in 24 hours, or -$147.32. It was the lowest closing price in four days. We’re still 63 percent below Bitcoin’s all-time high of $20,089 (December 17 2017).

Bitcoin’s market cap ended the day at $134,215,145,410. It now commands 67 percent of the total crypto market.
Bitcoin volume
Yesterday’s volume of $18,720,708,479 was the highest in one day, 14 percent above the year’s average, and 58 percent below the year’s high. That means that yesterday, the Bitcoin network shifted the equivalent of 400 tons of gold.

Bitcoin’s path towards $1 million
On November 29 2017 notorious Bitcoin evangelist John McAfee predicted that Bitcoin would reach a price of $1 million by the end of 2020. He even promised to eat his own dick if it doesn’t. Unfortunately for him it’s 94.9 percent behind being on track. Bitcoin’s price should have been $147,726 by now, according to dickline.info.
