Bitcoin's Power Curve vs Gold’s 800-Year Doubling: Why This Cycle Isn’t Over

Show Notes

In this episode, Matthew lays out a sweeping and data-driven comparison between Bitcoin, gold, and fiat monetary systems, guided by the concept of power-law growth. From analyzing 19th-century gold stability to Bitcoin's modern price action, he explains why BTC’s consistent power curve sets it apart from every other financial asset—including exponential systems built on compounding debt. You’ll get a breakdown of how Bitcoin’s doubling time is slowing (and why that’s a good thing), what it means to hold BTC in relation to purchasing power, and how the black trend line, still holding since 2016, remains the backbone of Bitcoin’s valuation model.
