"Most people communicate to synchronize their arbitrary value systems, hoping to receive confirmation as to feel socially integrated. Nerds communicate to receive peer reviews of their thoughts, hoping to be proven wrong as a means to fuel their learning."

Imagine you write an article about Bitcoin for Bloomberg and claim, that Bizcoin was "now about 12 years old" πŸ˜‚

If you see that chart: would you buy the asset? πŸ˜‚

nostr:npub13hgvezq9gm04a9hqs3uzmv869tm3wk26ql2tf3q037j59zk76c7spvhjry I made it over here after all from bsky, enough anthropology. Do you have any recommendations whom to follow for inspiring thoughts transcending the ubiquitous crypto memes?

I liked the video and the thesis behind it even more so. Started digging into the 4 years cycle of everything since 2008 and am finding a ton of correlations that fit the thesis. Would love to read the full paper, but it's behind a massive paywall of 4k$.

Damn funny - new generative AI creates pop music hookline with vocals out of text prompt.

Bad music can now by auto-generated at near zero cost.

Trying to capture even more of the signal with a formula as short as possible.

First component: power law growth

Second component: oscillation with period of 4

I've heard people call these data points being "random" - they only see the third component: noise.

Quite amazed by the simplicity and accuracy of this formula - found it today via regression. Note: t = years since genesis block
