Shared a screenshot of bitcoin code base (chainparams.c) showing the supply limit capped at 2.1x10^15 satoshis and adding that it’s not just talk, it’s actually real. The crypto traders on Binance congratulating me for “we were living in dark, someone has shown us the light 💡”… I actually liked that part. People need education on this, and technical people should be talking more to normies. It was my first time as well to see it written in code, as I am about to run a local bitcoin node, currently exploring the code base. Very excited for it. This is very important for everyday people to engage with legit technical people on the subject matter. As a short story, I first discovered Bitcoin in 2020, studied it (not fully) in 2021… I learned about PoW, block rewards, 21M etc., but those didn’t tell me anything really special at that time(I was in 2nd year of EE)… It’s actually when bitcoin hits 100k beginning this year, I said wait a minute, what’s going on here? And then I started to really learn about the core principles, the vision, and everything else about bitcoin under the curtains… I have been fascinated so far and continue to be. Where I currently live not many people know about Bitcoin, if they do it’s just about the price movement and the headlines on the news. I am currently thinking about the right strategy to start evangelizing about bitcoin (writing, meetup, YouTube…) Very excited for what’s coming ahead :)
