Short excerpt from a YouTube video by Kosta Ouzas discussing how certain phenomena follow power laws. Ouzas notes that word frequency in language follows a power law and extends the idea to Bitcoin’s price/trajectory, arguing that once an asset follows a power-law trend it is difficult to change ("like trying to move the Titanic"). He mentions the "tightness" of Bitcoin as reinforcing that trajectory and credits Professor Giovanni Santastasi — who helped discover a power-law model for Bitcoin’s trajectory and now works with Ouzas on risk management.

Another power law is the amount of words used in a language follows a power law. So these are really interesting things. So, okay, you've got this asset and it's following a power law trend. Now, this also doesn't mean that it's going to follow it forever, but it means that it's like trying to move the Titanic. If something is on a power law trajectory, it's very, very difficult to knock it off its path. Yeah, right. Because it's. Especially with the tightness of bitcoins. So these are the things I start to understand. And I got a lot of this through a professor. His name is Giovanni Santastasi, and we actually work closely with him now because he helps develop our risk management. But he discovered the power law model for bitcoin's trajectory.
