Most appearances

The top regulars by total appearance count. Thomas Hunt's 100% reflects post-absent-host adjustment: he appears on every episode-with-guest-data except the three guest-hosted ones above.

Longest consecutive appearance streaks

The longest unbroken runs of consecutive episodes per person. A streak breaks the first time someone misses an aired episode, so this measures sheer ride-or-die regularity. Thomas Hunt's run dwarfs everyone else's — he was on essentially every show for years on end.

Comeback patterns

People who took a long break (30+ episodes between consecutive appearances) and then came back for at least 3 more shows. The biggest gaps usually mark a career change, a move out of the Bitcoin space, or a hiatus where the show invited new regulars.

Eras of the show

The show's run breaks naturally into a few eras with distinct panel compositions. Each era card lists the top regulars active in that period, who joined during the era (first appearance), and who exited during the era (last appearance — they never came back). This is how the panel evolved.
