Research hub

Every dataset on the site, in one place

This hub is the index of the record. Each entry below is a dataset the site publishes, with a plain description of what it contains, the period it covers and the source it was compiled from. The curated reference tables can be downloaded as CSV, and the methodology page explains in full how each figure was prepared and where its limits lie.

The site keeps two kinds of data, and it is worth being clear about the difference before you use either. The first is the live series: the spot price and the daily candles, fetched from the Coinbase Exchange public API by the site's canister and cached for a few minutes at a time. Those figures move, and every one of them carries the moment it was fetched. The second is the curated historical record: the yearly returns, halvings, drawdowns and milestones, which were compiled once from published sources and change only when the dataset is deliberately republished. Those tables are the stable spine of the site, and they are what the CSV export below contains.

Nothing on this page is a forecast, and no figure here is adjusted for inflation, fees or taxes. Where a calculation would genuinely help — a return on a purchase, a compound growth rate, the outcome of a steady accumulation plan — the writing points to a tool that does that work properly rather than embedding a calculator in the reference material.

Research by network

Most of the site's record is about Bitcoin itself. The five sub-hubs below collect the pages that set Bitcoin against other networks and against the arrangements built on top of it, each judged on its own stated design rather than on a single scoreboard.

Research by topic

The Bitcoin-side clusters are hubs in their own right, each with its own introduction, its own grouped contents and its own place in the navigation. They are listed here so the master hub is the single entry point to every part of the record, not only the network comparisons above. Each link below is a plain anchor to a declared route, so the whole map is reachable without JavaScript.

Three requested topics have no hub of their own because their pages already sit under an existing one: Bitcoin History, Bitcoin Markets, Crypto Market Research. Bitcoin's dated record is filed under the history and cycles clusters, and the market-structure pages sit under the market data cluster and the altcoin research hub. Rather than split those pages into thin new hubs, the master hub points at the clusters that already hold them.

Download the curated tables

Each curated reference table can be downloaded as a comma-separated file. The export is built in your browser from the data already loaded on this page, so nothing is sent anywhere and the file is available immediately. Every file opens with a short preamble recording the dataset's vintage and source, so a copy that travels away from the site still carries its provenance.

The live spot price and the daily candle series are deliberately not offered as downloads. They are fetched on demand and change between visits, so a saved copy would be stale the moment it was written. Read them on the price history page, where each figure carries its fetch time.

How the record is kept

The curated tables were compiled from published exchange and block-chain records, then checked against one another where two sources overlap. The early years are the hardest: before 2015 there was no single dominant exchange, and the quoted price of bitcoin differed materially from venue to venue. For 2010 to 2014 the site uses Bitstamp and CoinDesk series, which are the most complete surviving records for that period, and it says so on every table that reaches back that far. From 2015 onward the figures are taken from Coinbase Exchange daily candles, which are published in a consistent format and can be re-fetched and re-checked at any time.

The full account of each source, its vintage and its known limitations is on the data sources and methodology page. The short version is that these are compiled figures, not audited ones, and that a reader who needs a number to a particular standard should go back to the primary source rather than to this site.

Where to go next

The hub is a map rather than a destination. These three pages carry the detail behind it.

Derived series and explainers

The tables above are the raw record. The pages below are the derived series built from it — rolling windows, holding periods, recoveries, halving windows and the inflation-adjusted price — together with the explainers that set out how each measure is calculated and where it stops being informative.
