One of my biggest aha moments while learning about bitcoin was listening to nostr:npub1dergggklka99wwrs92yz8wdjs952h2ux2ha2ed598ngwu9w7a6fsh9xzpc on nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z‘s podcast -

“If the last bitcoin block was mined 7 mins ago, when will the next block be mined?”

I had never truly appreciated the probabilistic nature of hashing and it’s implications before this.

I love using it to explain bitcoin mining to friends.
