From Where do Bitcoins Come? 13 September 2016 Visualization querying Neo4j database of the whole blockchain transaction graph. For each block from 0-400,000, it shows the source of its inputs across all previous blocks (grey to red according to the percentage contribution). E.g. the highlighted point shows 61.08% of the inputs to block#392,193 come from block#103,165. Shows the expected high velocity of Bitcoin transactions demonstrated by the clear red region close to the diagonal, and also discrete Satoshi activity mopping up coins from early blocks. |
