The 10 minute blocktime can only exist because of the 2 week difficulty adjustment, and the 2 week difficulty adjustment depends on the 10 minute block time.

Good night.

Good night Gigi, btw please get on a podcast with nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx on cd 🙏

Vous travaillez encore à cette heure...Vos journées sont trop longues ouf 💜🫂

You were wrong Gigi. Bitcoin is not a clock. How does it know when 10 minutes have passed to keep the difficulty adjustment on track? It references other clocks.

How can a higher block have a negative delta to the unix timestamp of a lower block?

Because it references the median timestamp of the previous 11 blocks. It’s really not that profound.

Happened where?

Happens all the time.

Unix time 😉

Fun fact 2016 happens to be the numbers backwards of the Executive Order 6102 from 1933 forbidding the hoarding of Gold Coin, gold Bullion and gold Certificates 🤯

The sequence of events is more certain than our clocks.
