Fractals are awesome. What do you protect the magnitude of the gigaquake to be?
The power of the Richter Belmont scale is not summative; it's exponential. Therefore if the mega-quake brought us to a $1200-ish peak, we cannot simply extrapolate that the next quake will be three times higher ($3000-range) just because the preshocks are three times higher .
In fact, because it's exponential, we should see 32 x 1200 or $10,800.
Now the only uncertanty is whether we reach critical financial mass for a financi-nuclear fusion. That critical mass is currently unknown. If we do reach the event horizon for financi-nuclear fusion, or "hyperbitcoinization" as some call it, then we will slide up from the $10,800 peak into full blown million dollar bitcoin land - and at that point all fractal energy tectonics get thrown out the window.
If we don't reach critical mass and there is no event horizon, then you can expect a blunted and slow slide down from the $10,800 level.... which will of course lead up to a 2017/2018 TERAQUAKE (which will likely be the final fractal movement in this series before we reach escape velocity).
