Kosta Ouzas explains power-law behaviour in returns for Bitcoin, noting that a regression (visualized as an orange line) estimates the power-law exponent at about 5.9 ("basically that close to... six"). He contrasts steep positive tails (large gains) with negative directions (losses) and interprets the average as the overall fitted power-law.

You can have all kind of different value because sometimes this power law is very steep in a positive direction. That means we are getting a gain in terms of returns. Other times is going down. So that is a loss. But in average, it turns out you get the total power load. That is what you get also from regression. You see this is this orange line, which is about 5.9. It is basically that close to power, to the power of six overall power law.
