Bitcoin's Power Curve: Stronger Than Inflation Itself

Show Notes

In this clip, Matthew challenges the popular belief that Bitcoin follows exponential growth, explaining instead that Bitcoin tracks a power curve—and that’s a good thing. He compares Bitcoin’s long-term price trajectory to the global monetary base, which grows exponentially at around 10.2–12.7% per year, and shows how Bitcoin’s power curve—growing at ~41%—is far stronger and more sustainable. Matthew explains why this matters: Bitcoin’s adoption isn’t just driven by inflation hedging but by real supply-demand dynamics and network effects. He argues that this pattern is more powerful than inflation data or even monetary base expansion, and concludes by reaffirming that Bitcoin's price trajectory reflects its adoption, not its scarcity narrative alone.
