About us

Who we are

bitcoin-powerlaw.com is made by Julian Bechtold and Hans Maier. Julian is responsible for the technology: the Power Law model, the data and the site itself, which we program ourselves without site builders or third-party widgets. Hans is responsible for content and marketing: the magazine, the texts and making sure people find the site.

Our mission

We want everyone to be able to look at Bitcoin with a clear head: with numbers instead of promises. That is why we compute our Power Law model ourselves, publish the formula, parameters and data in the methodology and show where every number comes from.

Why this site exists

There is a lot of shouting about Bitcoin and very little calculating. People who save for the long term need something else: a calm view of where the price stands against its history, calculators for their own plan, a goal to hold on to, and a magazine that explains the basics, taxes and security.

What we stand for

• Reproducible: every model is open and the data can be downloaded.
• Independent: we sell no coins and manage no money. Paid content is always marked as such, see Advertising & guest posts.
• No tracking: no cookies, no third-party trackers, see privacy.
• Not investment advice: we show models and data; the decision is yours.
