Giovanni Santostasi is an Italian Physicist and Chief Scientific Officer at Deepwave Technologies. I discovered his Reddit post “15 years of BTC Power Law” a few months ago, which was a follow-up to a post called “Bitcoin power law, over 10 years, all the way to Genesis Block.”, which he posted 5 years ago. I was instantly triggered because I had read about power laws before, and his username ‘Econophysicist1’ was even more intriguing. In the past months, his model blew up and got more attention on Bitcoin Twitter, so I thought it was time to dive into this super interesting, entertaining, and challenging subject.

6 februari 2024 | 57 min

Aleksandar is an Author and Entrepreneur who ran numerous ventures in the past 15 years. He wrote and published the best-selling book “UnCommunist Manifesto” with Mark Moss and is now working on a next book called “The Bushido of Bitcoin”. He founded “The Bitcoin Times” in 2018, a limited once-a-year-published magazine covering Bitcoin’s current affairs. Aleksandar is currently building open-source AI tools, focusing on the "Spirit of Satoshi" - the world’s first Bitcoin-centric Language model. We covered various topics including the significance of abundant energy, human ingenuity in Bitcoin and energy solutions, capitalism's natural process, the role of meritocracy in an ideal society, and Aleksandar’s optimistic view of Bitcoin's future. The core idea we explore is how beauty, as the antithesis of communism, represents the pursuit of excellence and the highest virtues. I hope you enjoy this episode.
