Bitcoin
How would you like 184 billion BTC? I know, the whole point is there are only 21 million BTC, right? Well, on August 15, 2010, a bug in Bitcoin block 74638 accidentally created 184.4 billion BTC. The error was quickly fixed by Satoshi and the mining community. However, it’s a reminder that vulnerabilities can appear in even the most secure blockchains, especially at the early stages.
How much crypto do you have?
Is it 0.01 BTC? 0.1 BTC? A whole Bitcoin or even more?
Trick question. It's generally not a good idea to share your crypto holdings—unless you're speaking with someone you absolutely trust. Word tends to spread, and in the world of digital assets, that can invite unwanted attention or even risks.
Did you know that between May and July 2024, Bitcoin experienced a significant fluctuation? In May, Bitcoin started the month at around $61,827 and climbed to close at approximately $68,005, reflecting a gain of 9.08%. However, it saw a decline in early June before rising again, with the average price in July stabilizing around $54,578 (Exchange Rates) (Switchere).
Bitcoin is busy retesting the $92K level… could be a potential double bottom here. Keep your eyes peeled!
🤓 Curious about Bitcoin’s monetary policy? It’s simple and fully transparent.
Bitcoin has a fixed supply: only 21 million will ever exist. New BTC is created through mining, and the reward halves every 210,000 blocks (about every 4 years). It started at 50 BTC per block, then dropped to 25, 12.5, 6.25, and now it's 3.125 BTC.
This process continues until around 2140, when the last Bitcoin is mined. After that, miners will earn only from transaction fees.
🛠Bitcoin — symbol or tool? Jack Dorsey says it’s doomed if it stays just digital gold. He believes BTC should return to its roots: fast, private, secure payments.
Today, though, it’s more vault than wallet. Maybe it’s time to change that?
