Bitcoin's Hidden Power Law: What Changed in 2017?
We found something fascinating in Bitcoin's historical data.
From 2010 to mid-2017, three strong power-law relationships emerged:
- Price vs. time: exponent = 5.48, R² = 0.900
- On-chain transactions vs. time: exponent = 3.95, R² = 0.930
- Price vs. transactions: exponent = 1.33, R² = 0.896
In other words, Bitcoin's price scaled approximately as the number of daily on-chain transactions raised to the power of 1.33.
Then something changed around 2017.
The rapid growth in on-chain transactions slowed dramatically, eventually becoming relatively f

What you earn from trading is never a fortune made overnight,
but an upward earnings curve built by steadily stacking one manageable small win after another.

You don't need to chase dazzling profits from a single trade; lasting consistency is the goal.
One standout trade may be luck;
delivering consistently is true strength.

On the trading journey, choosing the right guide is key to finding the right pace.
I never rely on flashy screenshots from a single day to grab attention,
but on the system and results built up day after day,

Leaders at Google, Google Cloud, and Mandiant published an analysis titled “Security 2027” on Google’s official blog. They noted that enterprise software is shifting from static applications to autonomous agents managing core business operations, bringing a fundamental change to cybersecurity, and outlined key defense priorities for 2027.

Companies are handing core operations over to AI agents while asking security teams to figure out how to keep them from going off the rails—like hiring an all-around housekeeper and installing a dashcam on their first day.

#ShareWeekly Crypto Market Faces Heavy Selling Pressure as Bitcoin Falls Below $74,000

The cryptocurrency market is experiencing significant selling pressure on November 12, 2026, as Bitcoin struggles to recover above $74,000. Bitcoin recently dropped toward $72,700 before recovering slightly, while Ethereum declined toward $2,050. The global crypto market capitalization also weakened to approximately $2.51 trillion.

Several factors are contributing to the downturn, including stronger-than-expected US inflation, rising Treasury yields and institutional ETF outflows. US spot Bitcoin ETFs reco

A solid carbon-steel manhole cover weighing nearly a ton left only a single blurry image on a high-speed camera during a nuclear explosion, then shot into the desert sky and was never found.

The event took place in August 1957, when the U.S. military conducted an underground nuclear test codenamed Pascal B in the Nevada desert. The shaft was about 150 meters deep, with a nuclear warhead at the bottom. The original plan was to test a low-yield fission reaction in a sealed space. To contain radioactive dust, the engineering team placed a 900-kilogram, 10-centimeter-thick carbon-steel disk over

Something remarkable happened to Bitcoin around 2017.
Our latest research at the Scientific Bitcoin Institute reveals a striking coincidence.
On-chain transactions, previously growing according to a power law with an exponent near 4, experienced a dramatic slowdown.
At approximately the same time, the volatility (σ) of Bitcoin's Price Power Law Daily Slope more than doubled between 2016 and 2017.

October CPI has shifted the Fed debate from whether there will be a hike to how large it will be. But before the December 8–9 meeting, there is one more important data point still to come, and it lands this Friday.

The October producer price index report is scheduled for release on November 13 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Time. It is the last major inflation release before the December FOMC, and it could determine whether the base case remains a 25 basis point hike or whether the market begin

Half-drunk Elvis couldn’t wait until dawn. He flew 1,400 kilometers overnight just to eat a giant sandwich from a Denver mining-town restaurant.

Late on February 1, 1976, he was drinking and chatting with two police officers who served as his bodyguards at his Graceland mansion in Memphis. When someone mentioned the sandwich, it immediately made his mouth water. He put on a leather jacket, took his bodyguards straight to a private airport, climbed aboard the Lisa Marie, his luxury private jet converted from a Convair 880, and ordered the pilot to take off.

$SNDKB Currently trading at 989.48, up 15.40% over 24H, with the rally continuing. The 1H and 4H structures are both bullish, with RSI at 78 and 69, respectively. Price is nearing resistance at 1011.14, but volume is only 0.27x the average of the last 20 or so bars, making the breakout attempt look somewhat weak. The bulls will have room to continue only if price breaks above and holds 1011.14 on increased volume. If price falls below support at 854.83 and fails to reclaim it, the bullish structure will be invalidated. Going forward, the key point to watch is whether price can hold above 1011.
