Cryptocurrency

The Wikipedia article on Cryptocurrency has been edited 3,684 times since it was created in 2012, by 1,280 distinct accounts and IP addresses. That averages about 262 recorded changes a year — a steady weekly rhythm rather than a constant one.

Within the revisions retrieved for this report, the ten busiest contributors account for only about 31% of the changes. Editing that dispersed means no small group dominates the page; most changes arrive from editors who touch it once or twice. In the same window, about 11% of the retrieved revisions came from bot accounts, which handle routine work such as link repair and reference formatting.

Within the retrieved window, 2024 carries the most recorded activity, with 151 changes. 7 of those revisions fall in the last 90 days. The most recent recorded edit was 31 days ago.

Readership is cooling: the last three months of pageviews run about 45% below the preceding period. The clearest peak in that record falls in January 2025. Traffic spikes and editing spikes often line up, but the revision record alone cannot tell you which one caused the other, or whether an outside event drove both.

This report is built from the 500 most recent revisions retrieved from Wikipedia, about 14% of the 3,684 recorded edits. Figures drawn from that window describe the window only, and the report cannot establish why a change was made or whether it was correct.
