<p>In this conversation, Giovanni Santostasi discusses his new book &#39;The Physics of Bitcoin&#39; and the application of power law analysis to understand Bitcoin&#39;s growth, value, and long-term behavior. The conversation covers the scientific basis of Bitcoin&#39;s patterns, the significance of power laws in natural and social systems, and how this framework challenges common narratives about exponential growth.</p><p><strong>Timestamps:</strong></p><p>(00:00) - Intro</p><p>(02:14) - Why write &#39;The Physics of Bitcoin&#39;?</p><p>(06:18) - The significance of Bitcoin’s Power Law </p><p>(10:28) - Bitcoin&#39;s growth: Power law vs Exponential models</p><p>(21:41) - The nature of Bitcoin as a network effect</p><p>(29:46) - How would bitcoin’s power law be falsified?</p><p>(37:30) - Bitcoin’s price floor</p><p>(41:35) - Can it break to the upside?</p><p>(43:14) - Will Bitcoin hit a saturation point?</p><p>(52:51) - Sustainable nature of Bitcoin&#39;s growth</p><p><strong>Links: </strong></p><ul><li><p><a href="https://x.com/Giovann35084111"><u>https://x.com/Giovann35084111</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="http://thephysicsofbitcoin.com"><u>http://thephysicsofbitcoin.com</u></a> </p></li><li><p><a href="https://scientificbitcoininstitute.org/"><u>https://scientificbitcoininstitute.org/</u></a> </p></li></ul><p><strong>Stephan Livera links:</strong></p><ul><li><p>Follow me on X:<a href="https://twitter.com/stephanlivera"> <u>@stephanlivera</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://plinkhq.com/i/1415720320"><u>Subscribe to the podcast</u></a></p></li><li><p><a href="https://stephanlivera.substack.com/"><u>Subscribe to Substack</u></a></p></li></ul>
