The graph below shows the Jensen-Shannon divergence for the Daily Slopes.
This is what ChatGPT says about the result.
1. What this plot actually measures (in plain terms)
Each point on the curve is the Jensen–Shannon divergence (JSD) between:
the distribution of normalized daily slopes in a rolling window and a reference distribution (from an early baseline window)
So the curve answers:
“How different is the current statistical behavior of normalized growth compared to the early scaling regime?”
Important:
This is not price divergence.
This is distributional divergence of the noise around th

Even across bubbles, crashes, institutionalization, and macro shocks, the normalized slope distribution never leaves the same statistical family.
In physics terms: the system undergoes renormalization of fluctuations but remains in the same universality class
This is strong evidence that: Bitcoin’s growth dynamics are governed by a stable scaling process regime changes modify volatility structure but do not change the underlying attractor.

Each row is a state bin of the current Daily_Slope (quantile bins from very low to very high).
Each column is a forecast horizon H (days ahead).
Each pixel color is the Jensen–Shannon divergence between:
the future distribution conditioned on being in that state today
vs
the unconditional future distribution at the same horizon.
So each cell answers:
“If Bitcoin is in this normalized-growth state today, how different is the distribution of normalized growth H days in the future from baseline?”
This is a state-conditional memory map of the normalized dynamics.
This map independently supports:

Large fluctuations have short memory (about 2 months). They condition the price behavior for short times but they don't have lasting consequences.
The dominant scale behavior is what is left and defines the long term trajectory.

This map independently supports:
✔ Scaling law is the dominant organizing principle
✔ Deviations are structured noise with short memory
✔ No persistent state-conditioned dynamics
✔ No regime breaks in normalized coordinates
✔ Institutions damp extremes but don’t alter universality class
In short:
This is exactly what a complex adaptive system near a scaling fixed point should look like.

The sequence of the Daily slopes or normalized returns is the most stable BTC parameter. It tells us the core behavior of Bitcoin statistically.
It includes both its stochastic behavior and the long term power law deterministic growth.
Even during these chaotic recent changes the parameter behaves in a similar fashion in the past.
Its mean is around 5.9 that is the same slope we observe using regression. It tends to regress to mean if push too much in either direction.

This is a zoom-in of the daily slopes.
Aside from the recent large spike — comparable in magnitude to some of the largest corrections we’ve seen in past cycles — the overall behavior is not fundamentally different from historical regimes. In other words, the volatility of the short-term growth rate looks dramatic in isolation, but it is still well within the envelope of what Bitcoin has exhibited before.
Crucially, the system is still growing along the trajectory implied by the power law. What has changed is not the underlying scaling behavior, but the reference level around which price is osc

I think all serious Bitcoiners should learn how to do covered calls, on IBIT or Bitcoin itself.
Using the latest Monte Carlo simulation of the power law slopes indicators one can establish a reliable strike price with a 2 weeks expiration date.
This strat works 97 % of the time statistically and it is possible to get a Bitcoin yield of about 2 % a month easily.

Happy birthday, Galileo — my illustrious countryman who showed us how to lead the way. Your way of thinking and teaching helped me understand Bitcoin better.

Bitcoin is not a hedge against chaos but it thrives on the edge of chaos.

This core idea is not bad at all. I already made many times the claim that the Bitcoin ledger reminds me of the conservation laws in physics.
But execution on this idea is fundamental, most of the equations and statements that follow are problematic.

Imagine we lived in a simulation where time itself worked like Bitcoin’s block-time.
There is some cosmic consensus process, with an analogue of proof of work, and a “tick” of the clock only occurs when a certain procedure succeeds and a block is “mined.” In this picture, reality advances in discrete steps, one block at a time.
But this does not actually solve any of the conceptual riddles associated with time. The proof-of-work process, the causal interactions that lead to a block being produced, and the physical steps required to carry out that computation would still have to unfold in conti

Ok It didn't take me long to see that the paper is very "amateurish". I support the idea of linking Bitcoin to physics (that I have been doing for 12 years) but it has to be done with an approach that is valid and understandable to other physicists.
The claims in this paper are mostly not valid (starting with the core proposition).
Here is a breakdown of main problems with the paper thesis:
This is an ambitious, rhetorically strong abstract — but it mixes sharp intuitions with several sloppy category errors, overclaims, and weak analogies. I’ll break down the main weak points and why they’re

Why so many lobsters references in AI?
Accelerando is a near-future to post-Singularity science-fiction novel that follows three generations of one family as humanity transitions from late-stage capitalism into a radically transformed, post-human civilization dominated by artificial intelligence, uploads, and machine economies. The novel is structured as a sequence of interconnected stories that track the accelerating pace of technological change—so fast that human institutions, values, and even biological cognition struggle to keep up.
One of the early and most memorable elements is the appe

A lot of people treat the 200-week moving average as some kind of powerful predictive indicator. In reality, it has no intrinsic predictive power on its own.
What it really does is reveal an underlying structure that already exists.
Bitcoin follows a long-term power-law growth. If you average Bitcoin’s price over a window of about four years (~208 weeks), you are effectively smoothing out the short-term oscillations around that structural trend. The deviations from the power law get damped, and the long-term pattern becomes visually cleaner. That’s why the 200-week MA “works” — not because the
