i want there but i can imagine it mightve be related to the cap, but v far from now.. like decades from now
They’re referring to the 32bit limit on block height after which no blocks are valid under the current consensus rules.
oh
(no idea what means)
There’s a bug in Bitcoin. There are an insufficient number of bytes in the protocol for storing the block height number. Eventually, it will be filled, long before the block subsidy runs out.
Once it does, no block can be built on top under the current consensus rules. Therefore, any block that comes after is, by definition, a hard fork. The rules around how block height is calculated will have to be relaxed/reworked to extend the chain.
