The untold story of "Bitcoin Pizza Guy"! Satoshi's wanted POKER in Bitcoin? Bitcoin has bugs? Is 21 million a MYTH?

You're listening to Bitcoin Season 2. Subscribe to the newsletter, trusted by over 12,000 Bitcoiners: https://newsletter.blockspacemedia.com

Charlie and Colin explain 5 things you probably didn’t know about Bitcoin. Satoshi's original Bitcoin client included a poker program. Did you know Bitcoin has an off-by-one error in Bitcoin's difficulty adjustment? We debunk the myth that the 21 million cap is mentioned in the whitepaper and explore three critical inflation bugs that threatened Bitcoin. Lastly, we tell the story of how "Bitcoin Pizza Guy" Laszlo Hanyecz was actually a pioneering contributor to Bitcoin's development and mining technology.

Notes:

- Original Bitcoin client included a poker client

- Difficulty adjustment calculation uses 2015 not 2016 blocks

- 21M supply cap not mentioned in Bitcoin whitepaper

- 2010 inflation bug created 184 billion Bitcoin

- Bitcoin Pizza guy spent ~100,000 BTC, not just 10,000
