No matter how much I study Bitcoin, there’s always something that amazes me.
Today I discovered something really cool: If we consider the “beginning” of the modern stock market in 1971 – when the US abandoned gold – Bitcoin has been online longer than the stock market.
Since 1971, the stock market has had 10,737 hours of active trading hours.
Bitcoin – 38 years younger – has had 123,774 hours of active trading hours.

Wow.
At first I was thinking good god no shit it has more hours , it’s a 24/7 exchanged traded asset, the stock market is not. But then thankfully my assumption was wrong lol. This is actually really fascinating. I mean both are such a big part of my life and things I advocate for greatly, but I never woulda thought we had already hit that mark. Says something yall, love it
