This post revisits analyzing Bitcoin in R in the year 2022
read moreRetrieving Bitcoin transaction data
Bitcoin data is no longer easily available at the transaction level easily as far as I know.
There are some options. In R you can use the short time series that you can get with getSymbols('BTC').
Or you can download a year at a time to get data starting from 2010 via coinmarketcap.com.
The data ends up looking something like this using chartSeries(xtsdat['2024-01-01/'], name='Bitcoin'):
Some drawdowns listed from this dataset:
