Beware anyone who tells you there’s an emergency situation and bitcoin needs an immediate fork. This isn’t the value overflow incident of 2010. There is absolutely no crisis.

Yes! It accidentally produced 184.4 billion BTC across two outputs. The bug was patched in a few hours and the blocks were reorganized to remove the transaction history.
