Bitmain’s new 8.9 J/TH S23 XP Hyd. gives the Bitcoin Mining Singularity model a new real-world test of whether ASIC efficiency gains are beginning to slow.

Power Efficiency Theory provides a framework for measuring the value progression of proof-of-work systems using observable changes in computational performance and energy efficiency. The Power Efficiency Index, or PEI, organizes that framework around several distinct price points: physical price, relative price and actual price. Physical price establishes the observed reference point, while relative price represents…

Bitcoin valuation models often begin with the same problem and arrive at very different answers. PlanB, known online as @100trillionUSD, introduced the Bitcoin Stock-to-Flow model in 2019 as a way to quantify scarcity and relate Bitcoin’s programmed supply schedule to market value. The Power Efficiency Index, developed by BitcoinVersus.tech, approaches valuation from the physical side…

The Power Efficiency Index (PEI) is a mathematical valuation model within Power Efficiency Theory that compares changes in computational performance and energy efficiency with the market price of a proof-of-work asset. Developed by bitcoinversus.tech, PEI measures the growth in a network’s rate of compute alongside improvements in the energy required per unit of computation. In…

Physical price is the lowest observed market price of a proof-of-work digital asset during a defined measurement period, typically a calendar year, and is used in Power Efficiency Index (PEI) analysis as the market’s closest observable expression of a network’s underlying digital-physical value at that time. Rather than representing the total replacement cost of mining…

Power Efficiency Theory (PET) argues that the value of a physical or computational system should be influenced by two things improving at the same time: its performance increases and its energy cost per unit of output declines. In proof-of-work networks, this can be measured through factors such as network hashrate, mining-machine output, and ASIC efficiency.…

The final part of the “Power is Money” series explores the correlation between physics and economics, emphasizing the principle of conservation of energy and the Kardashev Scale. It discusses the significant role of Bitcoin mining in showing how energy mastery and smart resource management can drive economic growth, positioning Bitcoin as a revolutionary asset in…

Bitcoin’s growth dynamics are governed by power laws, illustrating how its metrics interact over time. The relationship between Bitcoin’s price and addresses demonstrates this, with the number of addresses affecting the price exponentially. The hash rate, reflecting network computing power, follows a power law with a smaller exponent, indicating significant but slower growth. Understanding these…

“Softwar,” authored by JP Lowery, offers an original perspective on the strategic implications of Bitcoin, associating it with power projection, a natural mechanism in living beings. Beyond financial utility, Bitcoin symbolizes a stage in abstract communication. Despite controversy surmounting its publisher and escalating its value, “Softwar” serves as a significant discourse in understanding Bitcoin’s intersection…
