I'm attempting to download the entire blockchain and then run some analysis of wealth distribution at various points in time and in response to specific events. A website like blockchain.com's block explorer is similar to what I would like, but does not provide the fine detail on a per transaction basis that I would like.
I've already downloaded bitcoin core and disabled pruned storage, but have noticed that the 'blocks' folder contains blk files only up to ~3000, and there are these rev files up to the same number. I'm confused, because this is obviously nowhere near the actual current block height, but as far as I can tell, I should have everything.
