Bitcoin Ancient Supply vs Daily Issuance (10y+)
Compares how fast coins are going dormant for 10 years against how fast miners create new ones. When the dormant side wins, the bitcoin actually available to buy is shrinking. Every point shown is real up to the date on the badge above the chart.
Two daily rates side by side: coins crossing the 10-year-untouched mark, averaged over 30 days, and brand-new coins created by mining that day.
For example, 600 ₿ a day going dormant against 450 ₿ a day being mined means 150 ₿ a day more is leaving the tradable pool than joining it — about 55,000 ₿ over a year. When the mining line is **higher**, the tradable pool grows instead.
Each halving cuts the mining line in half overnight, tilting the comparison further toward the dormant side without anybody doing anything.
In words: the 30-day average of coins crossing the 10-year mark each day, drawn against the fixed daily new-coin payout — the reward per block multiplied by about 144 blocks a day.
Every point on screen was counted by **our own Bitcoin node** — a full copy of the blockchain that we run ourselves — and the line runs up to the date on the badge **above** the chart. A day our node could not count is left as a gap; it is never filled in from another source.
Neither side measures demand, and coins go dormant because of decisions made a decade ago, not today.
Counted by Safu's own Bitcoin node (coins crossing the ten-year mark, averaged over 30 days), set against the scheduled new-coin payout: the block reward times about 144 blocks a day. One point per day from 2019. No outside metrics feed is involved.
