   Hi,   
      
   Some BTC net restructuring seen. This is   
   constantly happening. Data center providers   
   can afford to have a turn over of their   
      
   infrastructure. Applies also to data centers   
   that have a share of BTC nodes. The same   
   web site shows me:   
      
   Pv4: -2.6% / IPv6: -7.1% / .onion: +2.4%   
   https://bitnodes.io/   
      
   Don't know what the scale is, over one year?   
   Also don't know what the implications are for   
   the life time of BTC.   
      
   My speculation it will go to 30'000.- USD or   
   3'000.- USD. On the trading side via captial   
   rotation. On the infrastructure side,   
      
   by simply abandoning BTC nodes. Many hard   
   core Bitcoiners ignore that this continuious   
   restructuring is part of the BTC infrastructure,   
      
   and if it follows economic principles, it might   
   quite well get rid of BTC nodes all together,   
   like an automatic garbage collection.   
      
   Bye
