Who runs btc oak, and why.

Josh is a pseudonymous builder who runs btcoak.com — a free, open reference for Bitcoin’s most-cited on-chain, cycle, and macro charts. The interest in Bitcoin is narrower than the usual pitch: it is the only asset class where the entire ledger is public, the issuance schedule is fixed, and a careful chart can actually be reproduced from raw data rather than taken on faith. The last few years have been spent shipping public-data tools and design systems for non-technical readers — work that translates directly to the editorial problem here, which is making 44 quantitative charts legible without dumbing them down.

btc oak exists because the obvious free references stopped being free. LookIntoBitcoin paywalled the canonical cycle charts in 2024; the cleaner derivatives and seasonality views sit behind paid dashboards; most replacements are SEO farms wrapped in affiliate links. This site publishes the same family of models — MVRV, Puell, Pi Cycle, Rainbow, Hash Ribbons, Power-Law and the rest — updated daily from the full history, with the methodology written down on every page. Every chart has to teach as well as plot, or it doesn’t ship. There are no ads, no email gates, no affiliate links, and nothing on this site is investment advice — these are observations, not instructions.

Corrections and disagreements are welcome and read carefully. The fastest channels are email at hello@btcoak.com or a GitHub issue at github.com/josh37293/btcdata. Useful: a methodology you’d compute differently, a dataset that looks stale, a chart that misleads at a particular zoom level. Less useful: partnership pitches, token launches, or anything that ends with the word ‘synergies’.
