Degrees of Satoshi

Monthly research digest

Four questions.
Evidence you can inspect.

The first observatory edition follows old outputs, reconstructs documented paths, checks Bitcoin claims and records contract powers.

Old Bitcoin

Old Bitcoin: What Happened Next?

When a long-dormant output is finally spent, the first transaction is only the beginning. Follow the immediate receiving outputs at 7, 30 and 90 days—without turning a transfer into a claim of sale.

Degrees through time

Degrees Through Time

Revisit the transaction edges behind complete catalogue paths. Watch a fixed, documented corpus become reachable through time, with every boundary and exclusion visible.

Claims ledger

The Bitcoin Claims Ledger

Widely repeated statements, checked against their underlying records. A selected evidence ledger that preserves uncertainty, corrections and the difference between observation and interpretation.

Crypto controls

Who Can Freeze Your Crypto?

Compare the powers built into specific deployed contracts. Inspect account freezes, pauses, upgrades and administrators at recorded blocks. A token name alone is not a deployment.

What the first edition contains

  • 9 qualifying dormant-output spending events in the registered cohort.
  • 88 independently checked complete catalogue paths.
  • 37 claims, including explicitly unresolved assessments.
  • 37 deployment records with code/state evidence and field-level uncertainty.

This digest contains accepted observations only when the research edition passes acceptance. New source interpretations remain in editorial review.
