1. The long-run convergence — the gold dashed power law prediction and the teal 4-year median have been converging steadily since 2013 and are now essentially on top of each other at ~38–42%. This is arguably the single most compelling empirical confirmation in the book: the 4-year smoothed return is tracking the theoretical prediction from a mathematical model fitted years earlier.
2. Cycle amplitude decay in CAGR terms — peak 1-year CAGRs fell from 27,628% (2011) → 9,900% (2013) → 1,641% (2017) → 1,002% (2021) → 135% (2025). The oscillations are dampening toward the power law baseline, exact
