Lets have a look on Bitcoin On-chain data.

Lightning Network: 13,600+ nodes

The Lightning Network is a sublayer on the bitcoin blockchain. It is intended to make payments fast and cheap transaction.

Lightning is becoming more popular among bitcoiners and the increasing Lightning volume speaks for itself. British on-chain analyst Philip Swift has an update. First of all, the capacity, measured both in dollars and in bitcoin, has grown strongly in recent months. The number of Bitcoin lightening nodes have grown to more than 13,600.


The fact that more BTC is stored on the Lightning Network is also noticeable by the fact that more and more BTC are leaving exchanges.

This holder group buys as soon as the price dips and sells as soon as the price reaches a certain top. This can give the impression that the bitcoin market is determined by a limited group of investors. Also known as whales, they are worth at least 1,000 BTC or more as assets.

But that picture is not entirely correct. It is the small players in the market that are doing good over the past 24 months. As a result, the distribution of the coins becomes more spread out, according to the Dutch analyst Dilution-proof.

“The bitcoin supply distribution keeps improving.

Over the last 2 years, we’ve seen 2 (almost 3) occurrences where the percentage of the total bitcoin supply that is held by relatively smaller entities surpass that of entities with a much larger balance size.”

 

But whales don’t sit still. The whales with between 1,000 and 10,000 BTC on their balance sheets accumulate just as much.
