From the Reddit link...
What you can do with this metric is sum it over a month (to remove daily fluctuations) and divide by total transaction volume, and get an "average holding time". Alternately you could make a graph or table by age of coins spent - how many are under 30 days, 30-60 days, etc. That would give you an idea of spending and saving patterns - how many coins are in current circulation vs being held for long periods.
Is this sort of information readily available and if not, easily produced?
Is this sort of information readily available?
Ans: Yes, everything comes from "blockchain".
easily produced?
Ans: Maybe not for those who don't excel in programming. Basically we need a parser to get what we need from the blockchain. Wonder if Blockchain.info has an API for it.
