Giovanni Santostasi: Bitcoin's Power Law — Why $1M Is Coming by 2034
Coin Stories with Natalie Brunell
Why networks produce power laws
Giovanni contrasts network-driven adoption and S-curves, arguing Bitcoin behaves like Facebook/the internet.
Is Bitcoin's price actually predictable? Physicist Giovanni Santostasi, Director of the Scientific Bitcoin Institute, joins Natalie Brunell to argue that Bitcoin's 15-year trajectory isn't random — it follows a Power Law, the same pattern behind earthquakes, cities, and galaxies.
Giovanni breaks down the formula, what makes Bitcoin's "fingerprint" unique, and what would have to happen for the model to break.
If he's right, $1M & $10M Bitcoin isn't a prediction...it's a calculation.
