RE: Coinbase might be the sole reason why Bitcoin is slow - they are spamming the network 😠
Thanks for posting this is an important aspect of the network for us to monitor and be aware of. I'm curious if you know of any way to track large chunks of crypto-capital (10s/100s of millions) flowing into and out of the space, either at the exchange level or the individual coin level. The flash crashed that occured the other day represented 108+ billion moving out of the markets in a 4 hour time-frame. So I'm wondering if there's anything we can do to figure out how this happens.
The blockchain is completely transparant and you could try investigating yourself through a blockchain explorer. There are also rich lists around, and usually the biggest accounts belong to the exchanges. I think if you search on google you may find some people who did prior research: I've come across addresses which people claim belong to Bittrex, Binance or Coinbase. Once you have those you can simply see every transaction made to, and from it. Also in a historic sense, so you could theoretically investigate the exact period you're describing. In reality I imagine that so many transactions make it into and out of Coinbase at any given time, that it'd be like sifting through a haystack
