In just hours, #Bitcoin 's inflation rate will be cut in half, dropping below that of gold. The halving makes Bitcoin's fixed supply even scarcer and supports its position as an inflation hedge in a world of expanding fiat money supply h/t @Sina_21st for the insightful chart

2/14 First, a quick physics recap. "Jolt" or "jerk" is the derivative of acceleration. Just like acceleration is how fast velocity changes, jolt is how quickly acceleration itself changes. In other words, it's the "change of change."

@LauraDeming Yes, in the sense that the funding circuit has its own pop culture in terms of what’s hot, and it’s generally helpful to be on point in terms of keyword bingo. General pop culture? If there’s a way to reference it in a manner that makes the product more relatable

7/14: Unfortunately, our brains aren't wired to intuitively understand jolt. We tend to project linearly, even when trends are exponential. This is called "exponential myopia," and it can lead to missed opportunities or underestimated risks. 👀

8/14: How can one adapt to this concept of "jolt"? 1) Adopt a mindset of constant learning. 2) Use predictive modeling with higher-order derivatives. 3) Foster a culture of agility to adapt to paradigm shifts quickly.

4/14: Look at AI research. Not too long ago, advancements like GANs or Transformer were groundbreaking. Now, similar leaps happen more frequently/unexpectedly, leading to an increased rate of acceleration - look at @tri_dao ’s work with FlashAttention-2 as one example.

5/14: The jolt in tech isn't just about faster breakthroughs but also as rapid paradigm shifts. In hardware, things may rapidly transition from node improvements (5nm→3nm), to 3D memory / neuromorphic computing / quantum. These shifts themselves are happening more frequently.
