Oddbean new post about login | logout There are not 21m bitcoins. Genesis block coins are not spendable. Satoshi was such a Chad he knew pre-mining was both scammy and potentially would have made BTC a security. There are 20,999,950 bitcoins 🫡
Never paid attention to that particularity...
Does it has to be spendable to define total supply? specially when is closed loop. Bitcoin never leaves the chain.
Imo, yes, but maybe the philosophers can debate it 🫡
Chad? I’ll look up this term. Probably some red-pill dribble
Are you some Spork of Doom poster?
I don’t even know what the fuck that means but if it’s an insult sure if that makes you feel better and you need to sleep at night trying to insult me with something I don’t even understand. Sure you do you I’m gonna do me. And honestly, if you are insulting me, then I’m sure I would enjoy doing myself. I’m much much more than I would enjoy doing you, so it’s like that right 🤣🤣🤣
There are really 16 million after lost coins and Satoshi coins
There were also a gew instances of miners not setting a coinbase address resulting in disteibuted coins as a reward not distributed
But why are the coins not spendable? 🤔
My 0.0000001 BTC are not spendable too!
There aren't even that many, if you account for lost keys and accidental sending to wrong addresses. That accounts for at least 1M, I'm sure.
OK Mr specific
There were blocks when the miner didn't claim the full reward, or any at all. Bitcoin is scarce af
