On 2 June, Blockhain.info registered a record number of bitcoin transactions. On that day bitcoin community members made more than 150,000 digital currency transfers.

According to Blockchain.info, on 2 June users registered 150,907 transactions in the public ledger. For the first time in the history of bitcoin, the number of daily transactions surpassed 150,000.

Reddit users became aware of the new record before the professional analytics. The general impression among the forum users was rather positive.

“Transactions are meaningful. It means Bitcoin is used more which is the most important aspect of its utility,” wrote a user under alias “knircky”.

Bitcoin system development speeds up bitcoin adoption and boosts the number of daily transactions. At the end of 2010, the number of daily transactions would not exceed 1,800. In the middle of 2012, this number surpassed 50,000, whereas at the end of 2013 users made more than 100,000 transactions a day for the first time in history.

Fall of Mt. Gox led to a significant drop in the number of daily transactions. During the first half of 2014, it fluctuated between 50,000 and 100,000. Then the wave of “big adopters”, including Dell and Expedia, caused a significant rise.

In February 2015, Blockchain.info recorded more than 125,000 transactions per day. Now the number stands at about 150,000. Some people think that there is a connection between the new record and a sudden rise of bitcoin price, while others consider the growing pace of bitcoin adoption to be the reason.
