The November 2008 version of Bitcoin

which Hal Finney & Ray Dillinger reviewed

had 100 BTC/block rewards + halvings every 100k blocks

(instead of 50 BTC/block + halvings every 210.000 blocks)

so the max supply was 20 million BTC

the 21m cultists are batshit crazy

What's your point? Lots of parameters like this were changed before public release.

Some guys act like 21 million is the result of some secret message with a very deep meaning

Ah, gotcha. Those astrology guys. Pretty sure there's a few posts on bitcointalk from Satoshi on how he decided on the supply limit. Just rough guesses.

You should consider pursuing an academical/ historical record of the first years - would be appreciated in some time in the future.

You should get your hands on a copy of “Bitcoin: Year One”

I did my best to compress the information into something anyone can read. Might write a proper book too if there’s demand for it.
