Revived Year Profit
Cumulative realized profit per representative vintage cohort - reveals which generations harvested the largest gains across bull markets.
What is it?
Revived Year Profit measures, per vintage class, the cumulative USD profit realized since genesis. For each 2009/2017/2024 vintage, we cumulate the sum of this cohort's spent UTXOs at a profit. Strictly monotonic increasing. This series exposes each generation's historical 'total gains': how much capital has been extracted with profit by this cohort across cycles. Perfect symmetry with #320 Loss: #322 = #321 - #320 gives cumulative net PnL.
How to read
Multi-line USD log scale, monotone non-decreasing. The 2009 vintage typically has the most dramatic cumulative Profit growth (each Patoshi coin sale generates massive profit given the ~$0 cost basis). 2017+ vintages have more moderate but regular growth, accelerated by successive bull markets.
Key zones
Bull markets generate clear inflexions on historical vintages (2009/2017). The 2024 vintage has cumulative Profit still being built (little history) - it will gain weight during the next bull market. Compare slopes between vintages: a vintage distributing more than others at bull end = cycle-end indication.
What to observe
Cross-reference with #320 Loss to observe the balance per cohort. The 2009 vintage typically has a cumulative Profit/Loss ratio > 1000x (almost all spents have been profitable). 2017+ vintages have more moderate ratios (acquisitions at mid-prices, sometimes negative-PnL spents in bear). Watch phases where a vintage suddenly gains Profit: indication of massive OG distribution (typical bull market endings).
Historical context
The 2017 and 2021 bull markets saw massive cumulative Profit inflexions on the 2009-2013 vintages (OG distribution). Post-ETF 2024 generated a new distinctive wave on the 2017-2021 vintages. Trinity starts this series' history at genesis to capture the totality of each vintage cohort's history.
Expert notes
This series uses the class_YYYY_realized_profit_cumulative variants (200 OK on the public API). For premium analysis, compute the Profit / Cost Value (snapshot) ratio per vintage: it is a 'profit-to-holdings' ratio measuring how much each cohort has already extracted vs what it still holds. A ratio > 5 on the 2009 vintage indicates Patoshi-era OGs have already extracted 5x their current stock - evidence of massive historical distribution.
Common mistakes to avoid
Common mistake: assuming high cumulative Profit means the cohort is still actively profitable. Cumulative includes all past distributions - the cohort may now be small (few coins left to distribute). To evaluate future potential, cross-reference with #319 Cost Value snapshot (current cohort size).
