nostr:npub1j8y6tcdfw3q3f3h794s6un0gyc5742s0k5h5s2yqj0r70cpklqeqjavrvg asking for a dumb friend... what is this math?

It's a formula for calculating the total supply of Bitcoin.

The first symbol is for sum of 32 halvings

Then you have 210000 as constant for how many blocks (and coinbase transactions) you have per halvings

Finally you have how much Bitcoin is issued per coinbase reward in each halving.

So if you execute i as counter in sum (from 0 to 32) you get:

210000 * 50/1 (because 2^0=1)

+

210000 * 50/2

+

210000 * 50/3

+

...

+

210000 * 50/32

=

~21,000,000
