About this episode
On Sunday, October 13, 2024, at 1 p.m. U.S. Pacific Time, the U.S. Transhumanist Party invites Giovanni Santostasi, PhD, to continue our in-depth exploration of his Bitcoin Power-Law Theory, including questions such as the following:
- What attributes or phenomena enable Bitcoin to have value?
- Why is Bitcoin in particular subject to the power law, and apparently not other cryptocurrencies, including various forks of Bitcoin?
- What does the Bitcoin Power-Law Theory suggest about future prices of Bitcoin?
- What would happen to the price of Bitcoin if everyone involved with it knew about and came to agree with the Bitcoin Power-Law Theory and its predictions?
Viewer questions from the previous (Part 1) Virtual Enlightenment Salon with Giovanni Santostasi of September 29, 2024 – https://www.youtube.com/live/6Ki37j3c93E – as well as newly posed questions will also be addressed.
In Dr. Santostasi’s words, “Power laws are mathematical expressions of the form y=A x^n and are ubiquitous in nature but also in social phenomena and many parameters related to how a city or a nation grows. They are so common because it can be shown mathematically and physically that they emerge any time you have some kind of process where the output becomes the new input in an iterative process.”
Giovanni Santostasi, Ph.D., is a modern Renaissance man (he considers his native Italy’s Renaissance movement a historical precedent of Transhumanism). He has received a Ph.D. in Physics working on gravitational waves and neutron star astrophysics. He has spent over 20 years analyzing complex data in several scientific fields. He is also a neuroscientist and the Neuroscience Advisor of the U.S. Transhumanist Party. Furthermore, he is a financial analyst and is currently the CEO and Director of Research at Quantonomy.
Dr. Santostasi is the author of almost 100 research papers, and his works have been featured in prestigious scientific journals, as well as receiving attention from popular media like Men’s Health Magazine and ScienceDaily.com.
