You know how people always talk about $BTC price going up in a nice, steady line over time? Yeah… I wasn’t buying it. So I ran a test—like, across 101 different quantiles (from the tiniest 0.001 up to 0.999)—to see if a simple straight line actually fits the price data, or if there’s some hidden curve no one’s talking about.

Here’s the deal: if the quadratic term is zero, cool, straight line holds. But if it swings positive or negative? That’s a red flag—the line's bending, either up or down, and the simple model starts falling apart.

Bottom line? The Bitcoin price story might not be as straight as it looks.
