Masonic Bitcoin?
I was asking where the number 21 came from and I found an explanation. 21 also being the number of the tarot card, The World, by the way, and that is why I was intrigued. 21 is also 7 x 3 which sounds very sacred geometry inspired. Trinity repeated 7 times which is why God rested the 7th day of the Creation.
Interestingly, using the calendar for any calculation can be deemed masonic, but that was just to get your attention. The masons just happen to know something that vast majority does not, and because the knowledge is concealed, consequences are dire. This knowledge was not created by them but is embedded in the fabric of the Universe. There is a masonic thought, which is only evil when not used to elevated the knowledge of the crowds to remain in power.
Mathematics are a gift from God, His language, and understanding math on a metaphysical level could save the world from itself. But there is way too much fundamentalism and atheism united behind the scene -- old divide and rule model -- that is preventing a break through.
so here again, question goes deeper now: WHY THE 4 YEAR CYCLE?
ANSWER: Satori has/had a DEEP VEDIC MATHEMATICAL knowledge... which is called masonic in the west, 4 is a square
I still see that if the bitcoin mania does not slow down by much, nothing good can be expected though. What comes from earth returns to earth. The concept of wealth accumulation is a concept for wealth transfer as wealth cannot be created nor destroyed, but merely changes hands. A truly decentralized system is which that takes this into account. The mind must get it instead of following the golden calf

Here's a mathematical explanation:
Calculate the number of blocks per 4 year cycle:
6 blocks per hour
* 24 hours per day
* 365 days per year
* 4 years per cycle
= 210,240
~= 210,000
Sum all the block reward sizes:
50 + 25 + 12.5 + 6.25 + 3.125 + ... = 100
Multiply the two:
210,000 * 100 = 21 million.
Economically, because the currency is effectively infinitely divisible, then the precise amount doesn't matter, as long as the limit remains fixed.
Good explanation, but you're just postponing the answer. Why 4 years per cycle? Why was 4 years per cycle picked as the number for years per cycle? – Andrei Mar 17 '13 at 17:41
All this info makes sense, but doesn't really answer the question! – B Seven Mar 17 '13 at 18:29
I think we best conclude that nobody knows why Satoshi chose for 21 million or 4 years per cycle. But I would not recommend accepting this answer as correct. In fact it only answers "What's the maximum amount of bitcoins that can exist?". – Steven Roose Mar 19 '13 at 20:20
===============
50 + 25 + 12.5 + 6.25 + 3.125 + ... = 100 ................. = 10
