21 is 3x7
3x6 is 18
Discussion
A 6 sided block pyramid has 21 blocks in total
That makes no sense. How does the number of sides dictate how many “blocks” there are?
And how does Bitcoin suggest or reference anything “pyramid”?
You can twist anything with this kind of numerology into whatever you want.
Look at the coinbase on block 666,666 if you want signs
6+5+4+3+2+1=21
It's not numerology.
It's math
Why do you think 21 was chosen as the number?
Also how is your “6+5+4+3+2+1=21” equation bad? Or related to 666? Or a “6 sided pyramid”?
21 = 7,7,7
777 is Lucky numbers, blackjack etc, and plenty of biblical references with 777 being in contrast with 666.
Other number selections by satoshi are the difficulty adjustment every 2016 blocks, which is a numerological “reversing” of Executive Order 6102 in the US which seized and banned private ownership of gold.
But with objective reasoning, the Bitcoin number is not 21, it is
20,999,999.977 bitcoins
x100,000,000 satoshi units
So 2,099-ish trillion units
But maybe the 999,999 that appears is actually two 666s flipped upside down! 😱😱😱
This is obviously numerology btw.
