But we saved everything 🙂.

Thorn has previously compared BTCUSD values in real 2010 dollars versus nominal terms, highlighting changing price levels over time. He has also noted that OP_RETURN usage remains under 0.1% of Bitcoin blockspace following the Bitcoin Core v30 release. These analyses reflect ongoing attention to technical and market factors in Bitcoin’s development.
