Article Description

This study presents an innovative approach to estimating network adoption curves by analyzing price trends without referring to specific assets or fundamental historical data points. It introduces a methodology centered on identifying the lowest price points within a given temporal framework and explores their significance in understanding long-term growth patterns in network-based assets. By employing a unique "square root time" scale, the research offers a nuanced perspective on the adoption rates and intrinsic valuation of networks, drawing parallels to the diffusion processes observed in technology spread.
