Bitcoin's upside comes from the asymmetry in people's understanding of it

Most people know very little about Bitcoin. They're uninformed, misinformed and disinformed (by the media and institutions, public and private alike). For example, they've heard about SFB and FTX and think Bitcoin is the same thing, and therefore a scam. That's why the price is so suppressed. We largely underestimate people's ignorance.

The only reason it hasn't seen $100k, $1m, $10m yet, is ignorance. The asymmetry between thaeir ignorance and our understanding of it creates a great arbitrage opportunity. As time and events (more government control, the introduction of CBDCs) remove said ignorance, the mispricing will diminish. In the meantime, I'm grateful for the cheap BTC I can buy, and all the ignorance in the world responsible for it.

Coinmarketcap are listing BCH sites as BTC

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.
