Hello everyone I hope everyone is staying at home , today I stumbled across an article about Bitcoins and 3. The maximum number of Bitcoins is not actually 21 millions but actually 20.99 something.
actually there is no such thing as "maximum number of bitcoins" to be a hard coded number. it is all math that will result it cap being no more than 21 million. that math is the block reward starting from 50 and halving each 210,000 blocks.
4. A smaller unit than Satoshi is in use now called msat!
smaller than 1 Satoshi has no meaning in Bitcoin protocol. on other chains (side, second layer,...) they can do whatever they want and that won't change a thing.
7. The first Faucets actually gave 5 BTC ! *5* to each visitor ( why did I not know of this before 😭)
you could just turn your computer on and start mining bitcoin to get 50
BTC to mine a single block!
8. It is only used 10% for the crime thing ! ONLY 10% !
wrong because you don't have any proof on how you came up with that percentage.
9. There are around 70 forks related to Bitcoins.
wrong, there are only a handful of "bitcoin forks" they include forks such as BIP16 (enable pay to script hash), BIP34 (block height in coinbase), BIP65 and BIP112 (2 new OP codes), BIP141 (SegWit).
what you think are "forks" are actually shitcoins that copied bitcoin. they can't be called bitcoin forks.
11. The first transaction for Bitcoins was made for PIZZA !
wrong. the first bitcoin transaction is a coinbase transaction of the first block.
the first non-coinbase transaction is Satoshi sending coins to Hal Finney.
the first
publicly known purchase done with bitcoin is the Pizza thing.
12. Lightning network can hold millions of transactions per second! ( Trust me that's good )
technically there is no limit on how many transactions can occur on LN.
