Stephen Perrenod | The Geometry of Bitcoin

Stephen Perrenod explores the intricate geometry of Bitcoin, its power law behavior, and how it may be understood through the lens of physics, complexity science, and logarithmic time. He posits a powerful idea: if we want civilization to last, we should start thinking in logarithmic time. Discover how Bitcoin's structure reflects natural laws and what this means for its future evolution.
