The Shows

Each cell is one month; darker orange means more episodes. The thin line marks a show's lifespan, silences included. Hover any cell for the count; click a row to visit that show's archive. Row totals follow the names. The pale yellow band is BTC/USD — monthly average, log scale — for bear/bull context (blockchain.info).

Twelve years and change, rarely silent, often overlapping. Read left to right and the relay becomes visible: Mad Bitcoins carried 2013–14 nearly alone (542 uploads in two years), flickered back in mid-2017, and went quiet within weeks of Today in Bitcoin launching its daily desk in July 2017. When TIB's daily run ended — eight episodes in May 2018, one in June — the Bitcoin Talk Show went daily the very same month, 24 episodes in June alone. March 2020 saw the strangest double-act: BTS revived for a lockdown spring while the Thomas Hunt Show launched in the same month; BTS faded by summer and THS carried the year through November. Underneath all of it, The Bitcoin Group never stopped — 494 panels from October 2013 to this month, the one constant in the schedule.

• Jul 2017 — Mad Bitcoins uploads fall off within weeks of Today in Bitcoin going daily. The energy moved, not vanished.
• Jun 2018 — TIB's daily cadence stops (8 eps in May, 1 in June); Bitcoin Talk Show picks up daily duty the same month (24 eps). A format handoff inside WCN.
• Mar 2020 — lockdown double-booking: BTS revives (8 in March, 12 in April) and the Thomas Hunt Show debuts simultaneously. BTS hands off by summer; THS runs through November.
• Throughout — The Bitcoin Group is the floor under everything: weekly, 2013 to present, no era without it.
