The Physics of Bitcoin
Book •
Giovanni Santostasi's The Physics of Bitcoin argues that Bitcoin's price, adoption and hash rate follow power‑law scaling typical of natural and social networks, not simple exponential or S‑curve models.
The book introduces foundational concepts—self‑organized systems, network theory, and scaling invariance—and applies them to Bitcoin to explain long‑term trajectories, volatility structure, and a persistent price floor.
Santostasi presents empirical tests, dynamical analyses, and falsification criteria to show the pattern's stability over many years.
He frames Bitcoin's growth as sustainable and adaptive because power‑law growth slows as scale increases, unlike unsustainable exponentials.
The work also points readers to companion resources and the Scientific Bitcoin Institute for further research and data.
