We only need data since 02/26/2018 (Bitcoin Core segwit release date).
I'm kinda interested to see how many 3-addresses are in use before SegWit.




By 2017-08-24 (the day block 481824 was mined ) there were:

Legacy Add Count        426910
P2SH-Multisig Add Count           86988
Bech32 Add Count            17
Legacy Total Balance   1292594.113662 BTC
P2SH-Multisig Total Balance      356041.326315 BTC
Bech32 Total Balance        51.999394 BTC

as there are 17 Bech32 addresses, there might some P2SH-Segwit as well. So I looked one day earlier as well.
2017-08-23
Legacy Add Count        705680
P2SH Add Count          134520
Bech32 Add Count             0.000000
Legacy Total Balance   1977622.672343 BTC
P2SH Total Balance      386197.053188 BTC
Bech32 Total Balance         0.000000 BTC


It is curious to see that the total number of P2SH decreased the day after segwit was activated
47.532 address (~35% reduction) and 30K BTC (~8% reduction).

Could this be something related to BCH fud?
