from The Robin Seyr Podcast · host Robin Seyr

Stephen Perrenod on Bitcoin, Power law and Gold Flippening.If you want a 1on1 call with me: https://cal.com/robinseyr/bitcoinstrategyTake your Self-Custody seriously and get a Microseed:https://microseed.ioWant to mine Bitcoin? I personally use Simple Mining:https://www.simplemining.io/robinseyrBitcoin's own growth model says the price should be around $137,000 today. It is at $65,000.Astrophysicist Stephen Perrenod walks through the peer reviewed derivation behind that gap: why Bitcoin's price follows a power law with an R² above 0.95, why the same curve shows up against six major fiat currencies and four commodities, and what the model points to next. His read is roughly $300,000 by spring 2028, with an explicit factor of two uncertainty band, and one Bitcoin worth a 400 ounce gold bar by 2034.We also cover why the model would only be falsified below $17,000, why inflation adjustment barely changes the slope, and why a company adopting a Bitcoin treasury is really trying to turn itself from a company into a city.Stephen Perrenod is a Harvard trained astrophysicist, co-author of the peer reviewed paper "Mechanistic Derivation of the Bitcoin Price Power Law" published in Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, and a director at the Scientific Bitcoin Institute. He wrote the foreword to The Physics of Bitcoin.CHAPTERS00:00 The Power Law Held Through The Drawdown08:26 Exponential Growth Versus Power Law Growth15:53 The Internet Followed The Same Growth Law25:55 The Peer Reviewed Derivation Behind The Number34:07 Where The Model Says Price Should Be Now41:05 One Bitcoin For One Gold Bar By 203448:28 Companies Die, Cities Last, Treasuries Choose57:19 The Case For $300K By Spring 2028Not financial advice.
