I’m surprised they don’t spend more time taking about the “soft fork” that voided the coins. For all the talk about the immutability of bitcoin transactions, it’s worth mentioning that things were once a lot more fluid.

I think orphaned blocks still happen regularly? Although blockchain.com's graph drops to 0 in August 02017, I think that might just be a bug in their metrics collection.
