BTC — Bitcoin

Digital money that belongs to nobody and of which there will never be more than 21 million units; people buy it to store value where no government can inflate it.

What it is for

Set out to
digital cash without a bank, payment directly from party to party.
Today in addition
above all a store of value.
Notable
the only chain without an issuer, a fixed cap of 21 million, the longest unbroken history.
Strength
nobody can change the rules.
Weakness
slow and expensive for payments.

Contract address

Bitcoin-Blockchain — its own chain, no contract.

The asset is the currency of its own chain and does not sit as a token on someone else’s. An empty field here would stand for a missing figure — but nothing is missing.

The four cycles

Measured on daily closing prices, never on daily highs or lows. The cycle boundaries are Bitcoin’s own highest and lowest daily closes: January 14, 2015, December 16, 2017, December 15, 2018, November 8, 2021, November 21, 2022, October 6, 2025 and the current low on June 30, 2026. A day counts only if at least ten thousand dollars were traded on it. The price against Bitcoin is given in satoshi — one satoshi is one hundred-millionth of a bitcoin.

If the high of a window comes before the low, the rise is calculated from the low to the next interim high within the same window.

Bitcoin is the benchmark. The “against Bitcoin” column is omitted here, because it would be zero in every period.

Finding

Fees required in BTC, but 0.77% of the block reward

Investors and partners: Fair launch — no presale, no capital backers — awards no points, because projects with large backers did not perform better.

Nexo: Carried by Nexo — purchase page documented on September 1, 2026.

No investment advice, no price forecast, no buy or sell recommendation. A high score does not mean “will rise”. It means the asset scores better on these questions than the others.
