BTC_POWER_LA

It occurred to me that understanding both Bitcoin and the power law resembles the way we understand any complex subject at progressively deeper levels: elementary school, high school, university, and finally the level of active research.
At the most basic level, people see a single power-law line and ask whether the price is above or below it. But the idea that there is no uniquely privileged line—and that the dynamics of the system matter more than its exact price at any particular moment—is already a university-level understanding.
The deepest language is the language of local slopes. What m

Zeno of Elea "proved" 2,500 years ago that motion is impossible.
How he did it? Using pure logic.
Achilles races a tortoise with a head start. To catch it, he must first reach the point where the tortoise started — but by then it has crawled ahead. So he must reach that point, but it's moved again. And again, forever. Infinitely many steps can never be completed, so Achilles never catches the tortoise. The logic seems airtight.

Lecture on owning your AI at Torino's Blox, a Bitcoin hub where the Scientific Bitcoin Institute is located.

We are doing the Physics of Bitcoin show today given we had another podcast yesterday.
Show start in 10 minutes 3:15 PM CET and 9:15 am EST.

Home sweet home.

Come home Ulysses.

At 15:00 CET, 6 AM PST, 9 AM EST, we will have a new episode of the Physics of Bitcoin.
Stephen's Agenda is below. I will discuss the Scientific Bitcoin Institute dashboard and Bitcoin economy courses we are building in our website for the SBI's members (anybody can join with a small donation to the Institute).
The show will be here on X, YouTube and Twitch.

Let's Athena guide our voyage.

Being a Bitcoiner is a bit like being Ulysses.

Starting to look very good, just the beginning.

Prototype of the SBI members dashboard. It is going to look very nice.
Let me know if you have suggestions for features you would like to see.
