ANECDOTE

1995 Internet Skepticism Mirrors Bitcoin Pushback

  • Daniel Batten recalled proposing to study the Internet in 1995 and being dismissed by professors who hadn't used it.
  • Brady Swenson uses this to parallel today's Bitcoin skeptics who lack hands‑on experience.
INSIGHT

From Exponential To Grind?

  • As Bitcoin matures, volatility may shrink and returns could diminish from early-era multiples.
  • Brady Swenson warns humans struggle with exponentials and may shift to linear thinking about price.
ADVICE

  • Treat Lynn Alden's base case as a loosely held framework rather than a strict short-term prediction.
  • John Haar advises avoiding overanalysis and sticking to long-term trend factors instead of three‑month noise.
