to visualize bitcoin's cyclicality alongside other data, back out its power-law growth. a year-over-year example (date, bitcoin network age, price): 2021-11-21, 12.9 yr, $59.0k 2022-11-20, 13.9 yr, $16.2k ($16.2k / $59.0k)^(1/6) * (12.9yr / 13.9yr) = 0.75 YoY and chart:

3. the above suggest considering the age of the bitcoin network as multiplicative rather than additive, i.e. using a logarithmic axis. the gray line illustrates power-law growth using round-number parameter values.

1. the average age of the stock of bitcoin has grown in proportion to the age of the bitcoin network. this suggests using a relative lookback period rather than a fixed (absolute) period.

8. these charts are intended to frame bitcoin's growth rather than to support making precise predictions. let's see how well this approach frames bitcoin's growth over the next few years. see detailed descriptions at clockworkpartners.com/price/

Gyre on fire! Yeats: "Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold"
@profplum99 the "null hypothesis" in understanding bitcoin is that its growth continues in 2021 in a fashion well in line with its own history (charts below). the key question: will bitcoin "merely" overtake silver and gold, or will bitcoin also take a big chunk from bonds?
