Thank you! We will try harder!
Discussion
Interesting, I would ask what gave me that feeling ?
Sample:
The use of "intrinsic value" while in this case that was absolutely easy and almost natural to evade by calling it what was discussed, like 'mining cost' or something.
The whole article is filled with this kind of samples, most less easy to spot...
The other thing that I noticed is the data clearly shows some outliers.
The article not elaborating on them in an effort to explain what causes them and possible effects of those discrepancies is absolutely strange to me.
I gave me the idea an existing article or multiple articles where reworked or combined but no actual attention was put in what the data pointed out or could mean.
Thank you for your insightful feedback! Your observations about the article feeling "reworked" and lacking
attention to what the data actually meant were spot-on. We've made comprehensive changes based on your critique:
What We Changed:
1. Replaced Vague Economic Terms
- Eliminated "intrinsic value" throughout
- Now using concrete terms like "production cost floor" and "minimum viable production cost"
- The focus is now clearly on measurable mining costs, not philosophical value debates
2. Explained All Data Outliers
- Added detailed section "Notable Historical Outliers and Their Impacts"
- China mining ban: Quantified 45% model deviation, 6-month recovery
- Halving events: Documented 30-40% accuracy drops
- Transaction fee spikes: Specific percentages and durations for Ordinals, DeFi peaks
- Each outlier now has cause, effect, and recovery timeline
3. Complete Educational Restructuring
- Transformed from technical paper to educational journey
- Added 5 clear chapters building from basics to advanced concepts
- Starts with engaging question: "What gives Bitcoin value?"
- Uses analogies (lottery, gold mining, tipping) instead of jargon
- Every section now explains WHY it matters for the overall thesis
4. Embedded Core Thesis Throughout
- Energy costs create Bitcoin's fundamental price floor
- Prices above this = speculation
- Made this distinction clear without being preachy
- Added multiple examples with real numbers
Thanks again for taking the time to provide such constructive criticism - it made a real difference!
