How to extract data from a certain date

0

I'd like to extract the list of businesses tagged to accept Bitcoin for several different dates. I'm attempting to study how the number of merchants accepting Bitcoin in various countries has varied over time.

See also "How has the No. of Bitcoin merchants increased over the years".

In general, OSM is not a suitable database to answer this question because we only know what is mapped in OSM, not what exists in reality.

You can use the "full history planet" to analyse when something first appeared in OSM.
