Bitcoin Long-Term Holders Signal Patience in Market
According to Glassnode, long-term holders (LTHs) are defined as investors who have held bitcoin (BTC) for at least 155 days. CoinDesk Research indicates that one reason bitcoin has ye to reach new all-time highs has been selling pressure from these long-term holders. However, zooming out, Glassnode data shows that the percentage of bitcoin's circulating supply that has not moved in at least three years currently stands at 45%, which is the same level observed in February 2024, one month after the launch of the US exchange-traded fund. Three years ago, in July 2022, the market was in the midst of the leverage crisis triggered by the collapse of 3AC and Celsius during the last bear market, when bitcoin was priced at $20,000, which shows the conviction of LTHs. Meanwhile, the share of circulating supply that has not moved in at least five years is at 30% and has remained flat since May 2024. So, even though long-term holders are selling, as they typically do when prices climb higher, these data points suggest that the broader cohort has not significantly changed its aggregate behavior for over a year now, implying that many are waiting for higher prices before making further in to access your portfolio

The emotion of a Kenilworth Custard Corner marathon runner
Custard Corner is not for the street's yellow colour, hence its name, only the brave need apply - at least when running enough laps of it to cover the equivalent distance of a marathon. And in a heatwave no rather than "exhausted", what Ian Beasley had to say of Saturday's feat - on a jaundiced section of Station Road in Kenilworth - was "awesome" and "emotional".He was running in memory of his best friend and best man, known as Noggins, who took his own life in February 2024. Mr Beasley notched up roughly 600 laps of Custard Corner during the event he organised, raising money for the Samaritans charity as he said members of the public turned out to support him and fellow runners, with the marathon taking place against a backdrop of "Mexican waves, people singing along to buskers [and] bells ringing".He told BBC CWR that his Custard Corner challenge, which saw him run 26.2 miles, had raised more than £12,600 for the cause so far, and he would like to organise another one next year. Mr Beasley, an optometrist who lives in Kenilworth, has previously described Noggins as "a one-off" who was "adored by everyone".For the final 0.2 miles, Mr Beasley arranged for the group of participants to run in silence while he carried a photo of his friend. Noggins' favourite song, Find the River by REM, was played."I was in tears during that 0.2 of a mile," Mr Beasley said."That was really emotional." Mr Beasley said he was delighted that the marathon had raised thousands of pounds for charity, but his personal highlight of the day was seeing men open up about their mental health had three conversations at the event with men who spoke about the issues they faced, he added."I don't think that would have happened had we not created the environment [for it]," he said.
