 You know you're deep down the Bitcoin rabbit hole on a side quest when you find yourself reading Bitcoin Core source code for answers. 
 What have you found so far? 
 literally me 
 The code is the truth 
 We need a Signet icon for the Windows users 👀 
 Surely there is only one answer.  That is to exchange Empathy via Immutable Truth.

Everything thing else is abuse to do not.

Bitcoin holds you to account for everything that you do.

Sounds like religion, but without abuse.

Bytheway, love u. 
 The greatest part of the code imo is the subsidy halving method where is never directly stated the amount of #bitcoin mined after every halving. Instead, it starts with the original 5B #sats per block subsidy and the method just takes that amount in binary and eliminates the last bit of it, making it halved every time without stating the real amount left. That’s a masterpiece of code. 
 Not easy code 👏
