Which is what the "days destroyed" measurement looks to compensate for https://blockchain.info/charts/bitcoin-days-destroyed https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Bitcoin_Days_Destroyed



Yeah, it's a very nice metric. But I don't think it's related to adoption. I mean if bitcoin is used as a currency and quickly changing hands you wouldn't expect many "bitcoin days destroyed" (as opposed to when e.g. exchange is reorganizing its funds)


You would actually expect to still see it climbing week over week though with the odd spike.
