On Jan. 4, 2019,  aTwitter user @100trillionUSD posted a graph of nonce patterns spanning Bitcoin's ($BTC) history. It showed patterns in what should be a chaotic system since about block 40,000. Four horizontal patterns are easily discernible across equidistant nonce values. Nonce's are part of the block header and introduce entropy to drive the difficulty of Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining. TokenAnalyst and BitMEX research overlaid Bitcoin's nonce distribution with color assortments of active mining pools, discovering Antpool correlates more highly than other pools such as Bitfuryor Slushpool with the patterns. Further analyses showed block 40,000 aligns with the speculated arrival of covert AsicBoost. However, these correlations lack substantiation, leaving the trail cold for now.

I never even knew bitcoin had a nouncing system. I know all transactions are stored in the public ledger, so I suppose it makes sense to have a nonce system. I'm still quite new to the technical aspect to bitcoin.

Cant say that if this could be true because i thought bitcoin is an open source software and is free to everyone and is not like a bank and also source cannot be so true.

This is definitely new information to me. Hmm I will be honest that I do not really even have much of a inkling how the system really works in its innermost technicalities. :D

I really didn't know much about the POW mining until I began mining Alt Coins. It's interesting to learn about and the concept remains true for Alt Coins.
