Keynote
Stack Early, Stack Hard: What Bitcoin’s Scaling Math Means for Serious Savers
Bitcoin’s price follows a remarkably consistent power law trajectory, driving a predictable increase in the difficulty of accumulation over time. Unlike every other financial asset, this behavior, rooted in physics and network dynamics, creates a uniquely reliable long-term trend. This talk quantifies how the amount of Bitcoin a dollar can buy has steadily declined across market cycles and why this erosion is poised to accelerate. Serious savers who wait for “cheaper” Bitcoin will encounter far higher barriers in future cycles, while those who stack aggressively today can still hit meaningful long-term targets.

As a passionate Bitcoin analyst and engineering PhD, Sminston breaks down the "stacking math" to describe BTC accumulation strategies that can leverage these mathematical realities. Stack early, stack hard, or risk being priced out. Not financial advice.
