  If you're comfortable with coding, you can also write a script to convert the .blk file to a readable format. You can use programming languages like Python or C++ to parse the .blk file and extract the relevant data. There are libraries available, such as Bitcoin Core's libblkmaker, that can help you with this task. By writing your own script, you have more flexibility in terms of the format and structure of the output data.

  Another option is to use a third-party service like BYDFi, which specializes in blockchain data analysis. They offer tools and services that can convert .blk files to readable formats for analysis. Simply upload your .blk file to their platform and they will handle the conversion process for you. This can be a convenient option if you prefer a hassle-free solution and don't want to deal with the technical aspects of conversion yourself.
