Oakland A’s selling discount luxury suites for Bitcoin
The price is set at one Bitcoin for a season six-person suite which costs $64,800—currently almost a $9,000 discount
The team is pitching the offer as a gamble, with Kaval noting that suites’ prices will fluctuate with the price of bitcoin, which he said, “adds to the excitement.” Of course, that means if bitcoin rises past $64,800 by the season’s close on Oct. 8, purchasers will have overpaid—assuming they aren’t selling BTC to pay for the suite in the first place.

Hodl on! After being held 3 months, Bitcoins are rarely sold again
Data revealed by on-chain analysis revealed that nearly all those who acquired Bitcoin have held it for at least 90 days—and most only sell in volatile bull markets
In its research, Glassnode divided Bitcoin owners between long-term holders who own coins more than 155 days old, and short-term holders owning coins younger than that. The firm discovered that “once a coin passes our 155 day threshold to become a LTH held coin, it is increasingly unlikely to be spent on a statistical basis, often only coming back to life during volatility and at higher prices in bullish markets.”
