There's nobody buried in a tomb of the unknown solider, it's symbolic I think.
Discussion
There were 4 unidentified soldiers buried in the tomb. One from WWI, WWII, Korea, and Vietnam. The Vietnam soldier was exhumed, positively identified and reburied per the family’s wishes. Reading about the selection process for which unknown soldier got the honor is wild. Particularly WWII when it came down to the final two in the selection process one got chosen for the tomb and one buried at sea after being exhumed from one resting place and traveling around the world.
I did find it interesting how important 21 is in the guarding of the tomb of the unknown soldier.
That's mental, what's the 21 thing about?
The guards do everything in increments of 21 like taking 21 steps, pausing for 21 seconds. It’s in homage to the 21 gun salute. Which happens at a soldiers funeral when they’re buried with honors.
Coincidentally I dreamed last night about showing someone the shells I have from my grandfather’s and uncle’s 21 gun salutes.
21 million bitcoin, wierd coincidence eh?
21 was my basketball number. 21 is also the age where you can legally drink in the US. You could probably find lots of reasons why the number 21 million was chosen.
Maybe 21 was chosen because it’s a triangle number and the triangle is the strongest shape.
We’re also in the 21st century
1 + 7 + 7 + 6
Ooo another option. Assumes Satoshi is from the US. Or do you believe the theory that it was created by the CIA?
My ‘real’ opinion is that Satoshi picked the starting mining reward at 50 BTC and 210,000 blocks/halving, and ~21 million BTC is the result. It could be that Satoshi picked “a value for blocks/halving such that you get a similar looking number for total supply.”
The 21 gun thing predates the US, but I’m told that the “1776” interpretation is a common interpretation meme given to it in the military. 🤷♂️
Writing this out, I realized it’s wrong 🤣
Also I wasn’t suggesting that the person(s) behind Satoshi actually be interred in the tomb. I understood you to mean a symbolic tomb. Satoshi seemed very much to want to be a person among people and not placed on a pedestal or deified as the creator of Bitcoin. Don’t you think it might be freeing for them to bury the pseudonym and just be a person.
Yeah , that's another way to look at it, for sure.
