Did you know that #Bitcoin Core did NOT initially have a 21M cap limit?

Because of a C++ quirk, the original code that enforces the halvings would have restarted the halvings after the last halving, around 2214.

This was fixed with BIP42 in 2014.

I think it’s undefined behaviour in C++, may differ between compilers and platforms, so would possibly lead into network split in the future.

Indeed.

BIP42 is a great read too! https://bips.xyz/42

Agree!

I never knew a BIP could be so ... Sassy.
