According to BitMEX Research, Bitnod.es now reports 1,576 live Bitcoin node peers and climbing as of Nov 7, 2025 (source: BitMEX Research). The figure reflects the current live BTC node peer count visible via Bitnod.es as reported in the update (source: BitMEX Research).

According to @BitMEXResearch, so‑called anti‑spam chains are likely to attract the most spam, inflating on‑chain activity metrics that traders often use for momentum and fee‑sensitivity signals; source: @BitMEXResearch, Nov 6, 2025. According to Coin Metrics network data, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) has historically processed fewer transactions than Bitcoin (BTC), supporting the comparison noted by @BitMEXResearch and highlighting the risk of misreading demand on lower‑usage chains; source: Coin Metrics network data, 2024; @BitMEXResearch, Nov 6, 2025.

According to @BitMEXResearch, the account stated "Last chance to buy over $100k" in a post dated Nov 4, 2025, drawing attention to the $100,000 threshold for buyers (source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 4, 2025). Traders can treat $100,000 as a key observation level and monitor buy-side depth, liquidity sweeps, and funding conditions if price trades above that mark to gauge momentum and risk, based on the statement’s emphasis on the $100k level (source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 4, 2025).

According to BitMEX Research, the team launched a basic website that tracks the reported Bitcoin clients used by the live active peers of some of their nodes, providing a dataset derived from their nodes’ connected peers rather than a full network crawl (source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 4, 2025). BitMEX Research stated this approach differs from Bitnodes, which crawls the network to identify all reachable nodes, so figures from the two methods are not directly comparable (source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 4, 2025). For trading desks monitoring BTC network infrastructure, this offers an additional reference point for observing client usage distributions based on peer-reported data from BitMEX Research’s nodes (source: BitMEX Research on X, Nov 4, 2025).

According to @BitMEXResearch, a Bitcoin transaction dated 5 Nov 2013 is identified as mined by Luke Dashjr, with a direct on-chain explorer link provided for verification, source: BitMEX Research; mempool.space.

According to BitMEX Research, Bitcoin Knots and Bitcoin Core were largely written by the same developers, making Knots an ineffective protest client against Core. Source: BitMEX Research on X, Oct 17, 2025. BitMEX Research points to its 2018 report Competing with Bitcoin Core, arguing that replacing Core is structurally difficult due to shared code and contributor overlap. Source: BitMEX Research, 2018. The comparison to the prior large blocker effort to 'fire Core' underscores governance cohesion across implementations, a context traders can use when evaluating BTC fork-risk headlines and client-diversity narratives. Source: BitMEX Research on X, Oct 17, 2025. Net takeaway for BTC trading: narratives claiming Knots can displace Core lack technical basis per the cited analysis, informing governance risk assessment for BTC.

According to @FarsideUK, Farside Investors posted the term OP_RETURN and linked to a BitMEX Research post on Oct 17, 2025. Source: Farside Investors on X and BitMEX Research on X. OP_RETURN is a Bitcoin script opcode that stores arbitrary data in transactions and makes those outputs provably unspendable, influencing blockspace usage and the UTXO set. Source: Bitcoin.org Developer Guide and Bitcoin Wiki. Higher OP_RETURN usage increases average transaction size and can push fee rates higher, affecting short-term BTC transaction costs and miner fee revenue. Source: Bitcoin Optech Newsletter and Bitcoin.org fee market documentation. For trading, monitor mempool congestion and fee-rate bands to time BTC transfers and evaluate miner revenue sensitivity during periods of elevated OP_RETURN-driven activity.

According to Farside Investors, the account drew attention to OP_RETURN by sharing a BitMEX Research post on X on Oct 17, 2025, without providing additional metrics in the post. Source: Farside Investors on X. The post links traders to BitMEX Research on X for the underlying OP_RETURN context and details. Source: BitMEX Research on X. OP_RETURN is a Bitcoin script opcode that embeds small pieces of data in provably unspendable outputs, which consumes blockspace and contributes to network load that traders track for fee risk. Source: Bitcoin.org Developer Guide; Bitcoin Core documentation. When demand for blockspace rises, fee rates tend to increase as blocks fill, raising on-chain transaction costs and the fee component of miner revenue that can affect BTC settlement timing and costs.

Traders should monitor mempool size and sat/vB fee bands to gauge potential changes in BTC transaction costs and settlement latency around OP_RETURN-related activity. Source: mempool.space data.

According to @BitMEXResearch, FTX, as a leveraged exchange, was supposed to match assets exactly to customer liabilities and not rely on a pooled set of high-risk assets to cover those liabilities. Source: @BitMEXResearch post on X dated Oct 15, 2025. This view aligns with the U.S. CFTC’s 2022 complaint alleging FTX and Alameda misappropriated customer funds and failed to segregate client assets, undermining one-to-one backing of liabilities.

Source: FTX Debtors Second Interim Report by John J. Ray III, April 9, 2023. For trading, the clarification underscores that exchange counterparty risk can reprice quickly via wider basis and negative perpetual funding; in November 2022, BTC and ETH perps saw sharply negative funding and fragmented liquidity as exchange-risk perceptions surged after FTX’s collapse.

According to @BitMEXResearch, the team publicly asked where the market is in the current AI cycle if it mirrors the early-2000s tech bubble, signaling a focus on cycle-phase timing rather than issuing a trade call (source: BitMEX Research on X, Oct 7, 2025). The post provides no valuation metrics, timeframes, or sector-specific signals, so it should be treated as a prompt for market debate rather than actionable guidance (source: BitMEX Research on X, Oct 7, 2025). The post does not reference cryptocurrencies or tokens, so no direct crypto market impact can be inferred from the text alone (source: BitMEX Research on X, Oct 7, 2025).

According to @BitMEXResearch, the team resurfaced material from a 2015 presentation, noting they have not seen Mike Hearn’s Bitcoin views stated this clearly for a long time and asking whether those views are coming back into fashion.

According to @BitMEXResearch, @boomer_btc’s view mirrors Mike Hearn’s earlier position that Bitcoin miners may prioritize the network’s long-term health over maximizing immediate next-block fee revenue when selecting transactions (source: @BitMEXResearch, Oct 6, 2025). According to @BitMEXResearch, this miner transaction-selection incentive issue has been debated endlessly within the community (source: @BitMEXResearch, Oct 6, 2025).

According to @BitMEXResearch, 10.4% of peers connected to its two BTC nodes (124 peers each) are running Bitcoin Knots, up from 6.2% on June 23, 2025 (source: BitMEX Research on X, Oct 5, 2025). Using bitcoin-seeder, @BitMEXResearch measured 9.0% of discovered nodes as Knots and noted the tool likely excludes Tor by default (source: BitMEX Research on X, Oct 5, 2025).

According to @BitMEXResearch, Bitcoin (BTC) usage should be determined by the market rather than by implementing effective filters that exclude arbitrary on-chain data storage, indicating a pro-market transaction selection stance. Source: BitMEX Research on X, Oct 1, 2025.

According to @BitMEXResearch, the post amplifies Eric Lombrozo’s view that using filters as a social signal on your own Bitcoin node is acceptable, while pushing back on efforts to impose such filters on others.

According to @BitMEXResearch, the latest review of the OP_RETURN policy limit highlights tension because filter proponents are asking other node runners to degrade their own node performance at their expense to benefit the wider ecosystem, source: @BitMEXResearch, Sep 30, 2025. According to @BitMEXResearch, this frames a concrete trade-off between individual node efficiency and network-level filtering goals that directly affects how data-carrying transactions are relayed, source: @BitMEXResearch, Sep 30, 2025. According to @BitMEXResearch, traders should monitor any relay policy shifts around OP_RETURN filters as signals for potential changes in transaction propagation dynamics that can impact BTC execution timing and liquidity conditions, source: @BitMEXResearch, Sep 30, 2025.
