Bitcoin’s Power Curve vs Apple: The Trend Everyone Misses

Show Notes

Bitcoin power curve analysis, exponential vs power-law trends, and why traditional TA breaks down on long horizons drive this episode as Matthew revisits the key differences between Bitcoin, Apple, gold, and the broader TradFi universe. Using long-term and short-term R-squared trend fits, Matthew explains why Apple behaves like a classic exponential asset clean straight lines on log scale and how that contrasts sharply with Bitcoin’s unmistakable power-curve behavior. He shows why forcing Bitcoin into exponential channels leads to wildly misleading models, broken forecasts, and unrealistic million-dollar price targets.
