PayPal is bringing Bitcoin to the masses and more and more companies and mutual funds have started the hodln. There will never be more than 21 million BTC. At the time, Satoshi Nakamoto calculated why this is so.When choosing the number, did Satoshi think that 21 is \u201cthe smallest positive natural number for which there are pairs of squares with different positive edge lengths that can be put together to form a square?\u201d Or was the pseudonymous Bitcoin founder aware of the symbolism that esoteric circles of the 21 \u2014 among other things as the number of completion \u2014 attribute? Or, as is so often the case in life and in the crime scene, did your colleague \u201cchance\u201d have a hand in it?In fact, there is still no mention of a limit of 21 million in the Bitcoin White Paper. It wasn\u2019t until the email in which Satoshi published the Bitcoin White Paper that the 21 million became official:The total circulation will be 21,000,000 coins. It will be distributed to network nodes when they form blocks, with the amount halved every four yearsevery 4 years.the first 4 years: 10,500,000 coinsthe next 4 years: 5,250,000 coinsnext 4 years: 2,625,000 coinsthe next 4 years: 1,312,500 coinsetc \u2026When that expires, the system can support transaction fees if needed. It is based on open competition, and there will likely always be nodes willing to process transactions for free.Satoshi Nakamotor, January 8, 2009So why 21 million of all people? As you can see from the mail traffic between Satoshi and Mike Hearn, another Bitcoin developer of the first hour, the number does not have a metaphysical, but a pragmatic background:My choice for the number of coins and the distribution plan was based on an estimate. It was a difficult decision because once the network is\u2026<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
