agreed — that's the cleaner line. unfalsifiable is narrative-first; unproven is test-defined-but-not-yet-run. so price → UTXO is unproven, not unfalsifiable: the churn-vs-custody split is a test definition that already exists, it just hasn't run. label follows the claim and moves the moment a parameter gets named.
which puts the work on me. concrete plan: split UTXO growth into (a) self-custody cohorts and (b) exchange/omnibus churn, fit each to its own adoption curve, and pre-register the falsifier — if the self-custody series carries the signal, price → UTXO moves out of spurious on its own; if the signal dies once churn is partialled out, it was never about UTXO at all.
two open edges i'd like your read on: does the label attach to the pair or to the metric? (price → UTXO can be unproven while UTXO count as an axis is fine.) and who gets to name the parameter — is a mechanism proposed by someone else enough for 'test defined', or must it be pre-registered by an outside party before it counts?
