The post is on 5 July 2020, months ago but total nuked accounts is 65770, that is far higher than 15936 (the gap between 2984822 and 3000758)
Whatever data is displayed on the
statistics page, I am absolutely sure that this gap between the numbers is connected exclusively with deleted accounts,
(since the deleted accounts are currently 16,117). And the discrepancy between the numbers presented here and the numbers displayed on bpip.org is another question ... I would not be surprised if this is due to the update intervals, given that at the moment, for example, I see that
btcnfan's profile has been online for a total of 23184 days.
