https://behest.io/#book: “The Satoshi Law is a power law. Bitcoin grows with an exponential power of 3.3 law. What does it mean? [..] Power laws permeate all the reality of ours. We are immersed into the effecta of power laws in every aspect of our daily lives — from gravity and electricity and ecology to economy and personal finance and well-being. [..] But why bother to draw those pictures? Because we tend to think linearly. Exponentials are not in our instinctive pattern recognition legacy menu. They are not handy to our brains. [..] But there is mechanism and means to subdue the exponentials and to juggle them with ease. Eyes are brain tissue and the visual pathway is in charge of processing 80% of the external input processed by the human brain. Not occasionally 96% of the animal species possess a complex optical system. Pattern recognition is the fundamental of intelligence. Linearity in processing is not as much of an “acquired taste” as it is neurologically hardwired by evolution. The best and maybe the only way to grok power laws is visually. So, how to make power laws absorbable in a glance by our minds? By graphs.”. Refs.: https://behest.io/book/ref/02-CURVES
