I created this SWaN using NetLogo complexity modelling tool.
By rewiring just 8 links out of a hundred we got close to an optimal small world for this instance.
Clustering is still dense relative to a much reduced average path length. This rewiring means normally distant connections have been brought closer to home.
This is a model. In a Bitcoin network small world there would be a lot more clusters less densely packed I expect.
But you get the idea.
The question is, will the Bitcoin network form into a small world if left to its own devices - the intensely competing commercial operators of nodes.
