Why Bitcoin is Different
summary
Asserts that Bitcoin wins on credible monetary policy: 21 million supply and tens of thousands (maybe 100k) of nodes with the deepest liquidity, shows altcoins like Ethereum peaked at 0.1475 BTC and sit around ~4.2M sats — roughly down 70% in BTC terms — while Bitcoin is only ~10% off its USD high (123k → ~111k). Compares post‑merge returns (BTC +454% vs ETH no‑stake ~200% / with staking ~240%), cites an eight‑order power‑law fit and a 2045 projection of ~$10M per BTC (~$200T market cap).
