A Guided Reading of Bitcoin's Original White Paper

How does Bitcoin work? Why does it work?

I get it, researching these questions can be frustrating and the white paper is a bit dense. It's much easier to browse Reddit for insightful comments and get the latest blurbs from your favorite news outlets. However, if this has been your strategy, you should proceed with caution. Crypto has become a space where information and news are incredibly biased. It's a reality in large part due to how easily sentiment can sway prices.

This is why I started the White Paper Center. The goal of the podcast is to provide impartial, simplified guided readings of cryptocurrency white papers. Those long technical papers can now become easily digestible in just 10-20 minutes of a well-structured podcast.

Every week or two, I plan to add new episodes. This week, we have a guided reading of Satoshi Nakamoto's 2008 white paper, "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System."

Hope you all enjoy.

Under here: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin/ They have links to https://bitcoin.com/ and https://forum.bitcoin.com/ which are no longer BTC sites; they're BCH sites. I'm not good at twitter and don't have many followers but I've tweeted at them here: https://twitter.com/bitplane/status/955918445014585344 Can we raise awareness of this and get them to change it please?

15 years of BTC Power Law

5 years ago I made a post in this subreddit showing that BTC is a power law: Price=A*days^n, (days from Genesis Block), n=5.8. Many didn't believe me and said the past doesn't predict the future. Well, after 5 years it turns out that BTC continues its power law behavior with similar exponent. A power law is not another formula or model but the same mathematical behavior behind river formation, mountains growth, cities development, GDP vs population, and metabolic rate. Everything important is ruled by power laws, so BTC. BTC is a force of Nature.
