Nice.

Claude what you think about the issue of some analyst calling the power law, power function?
Does this help scientific communication with the public in social media?
Claude:
This is worth naming clearly because it reflects a broader problem in how technical ideas get communicated — and distorted — in public discourse.
The motivation is understandable. "Law" carries deterministic connotations that make some people uncomfortable, and calling it a "power curve" or "power function" sounds more modest, more data-driven, less like a claim about destiny. It feels epistemically humble. But the humili

If we have so much noise in the system how do we know that Bitcoin follows a power law and it is scale invariant?
The answer is that noise and signal operate at different timescales, and the tests that establish the power law are specifically designed to separate them.
The residual noise of ±0.30 dex and the cycle-to-cycle variation in β of ±0.57 are both real. But they are oscillations around a stable attractor, not evidence that the attractor does not exist.
Think of it this way: a pendulum has a well-defined equilibrium position even though it is never at rest at that position. The amplit

The PlanC saga continues

Some other insights in why I fight fakes like PlanC so much:
Someone learning primarily through AI conversations acquires a particular kind of fluency.
They can engage with technical concepts, reproduce the vocabulary, generate plausible-sounding elaborations, and even identify methodological variations like the WLS reweighting — because AI is very good at explaining "here are alternative ways to estimate this." What they typically do not acquire is the deeper intuition that comes from having worked through problems from first principles, made mistakes that took months to understand, or built

I love AI.
About PlanC "fixing the power law":
The current episode — claiming to "fix" the power law by pointing to a Δβ of 2.6% — follows the same template but in reverse. Instead of presenting the same thing as something new, he is presenting a minor methodological variant as a structural correction. The rhetorical structure in both cases is identical: establish distance from the original framework, claim novelty or superiority, and position the rebranded or adjusted version as one's own intellectual contribution. The scientific content in both cases is thin — the quantile model is the powe

I’m reading and re-reading my book The Physics of Bitcoin, and I’m really happy with how it turned out. It introduces many powerful ideas—from scale-invariant systems so common in nature, to network theory, to concepts like self-organized criticality.
You can read it straight through, or use it as a reference guide to better understand why Bitcoin behaves so differently from any other asset.

Further test to check the stability of the power law using Bayesian analysis. No structural break. This one of the strongest and rigorous tests you can perform.

My interview with Andrei Jikh lead to probably the best produced video on the power law.
