That is an opinion editorial by Ella Hough, a pupil at Cornell College, pursuing levels in cognitive science and ethical psychology.
Not too long ago, I’ve been wanting into among the numbers related to Bitcoin. Whereas I haven’t precisely come to an overarching conclusion, I discover the quite common presence of 0, 1, 2, and 6 collectively fascinating, together with 3 and 9.
The explanation for my fascination got here after studying the next quote and clarification of Nikola Tesla’s concept that “Should you solely knew the magnificence of three, 6, and 9, then you definitely would have a key to the universe.”
I consider Bitcoin is the “key” to fixing most of the points humanity faces, however I used to be curious if math thought so too.
Additionally, presumably irrelevant however nonetheless attention-grabbing is the shortage of two* or 8 being an answer to any of the equations outlined under.
Notice: In all cases all through this text, I add the numerals till I attain 1 digit.
Let’s use the date this was written for instance: August 9, 2022.
08 + 09 + 2022 = 2039
2 + 0 + 3 + 9 = 14
1 + 4 = 5
Reply = 5
0, 1, 2 And 6
6102. 2,016. 21 and 6 zeroes. twenty first century.
Query: 0, 1, 2, and 6. What do these numbers have in widespread?
Reply: Bitcoin.
“Government Order 6102 is an govt order signed on April 5, 1933, by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt “forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates inside the continental United States.” Government Order 6102 required all individuals to ship on or earlier than Might 1, 1933, all however a small quantity of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve in alternate for $20.67 (equal to $433 in 2021) per troy ounce” — Government Order 6102
6 + 1 + 0 + 2 = 9
04 + 05 + 1933 = 1942 → 1 + 9 + 4 + 2 = 16 → 1 + 6 = 7
05 + 01 + 1933 = 1939 → 1 + 9 + 3 + 9 = 22 → 2 + 2 = 4
2 + 0 + 6 + 7 = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6
4 + 3 + 3 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1
2 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 5
“Bitcoin’s mining issue is up to date each 2,016 blocks. This is the reason every 2,016 block interval known as the issue epoch, because the community determines whether or not the actions of miners for the final two weeks have diminished or elevated the time it takes to mine a brand new block” — Andrey Sergeenkov
2 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 9
This bitcoin mining issue replace each 2,016 blocks is a palindrome of 6102.
There are 21,000,000 bitcoin.
2 + 1 + 6 zeroes = 9
Should you would reasonably not rely “6 zeroes”:
2 + 1 = 3
I consider it’s no accident there are 21,000,000 bitcoin. I consider the connection between 0, 1, 2 and 6 is purposeful. I consider the truth that bitcoin’s mining issue is up to date each 2,016 (a reverse of 6102) blocks exhibits a reversal in historical past, that your property is yours, nobody can take it from you, and a reversal in precedent that the cash provide just isn’t one thing that may all the time be elevated.
Decentralized and accessible for use and held by each individual on Earth, bitcoin is sound cash. Moreover, as Saifedean Ammous asserts in “The Bitcoin Customary,”
“Sound cash… protects worth throughout time, which supplies individuals an even bigger incentive to consider their future …When financial determination making is geared towards the long run…Individuals turn out to be extra peaceable and cooperative…Individuals develop a robust sense of morality, prioritizing the ethical decisions that may trigger the most effective long-term outcomes for them and their kids.”
This actuality described is the ultimate proof as to why I consider bitcoin of 21 and 6 zeroes are instruments for the twenty first century and can result in constructive change.
Information
twenty first century → 2 + 1 = 3
October 31, 2008: The Bitcoin white paper was revealed, sparking an “Financial Reformation.”
10 + 31 + 2008 = 2049 → 2 + 0 + 4 + 9 = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6
October 31, 1517: Martin Luther publishes the “Disputation on the Energy and Efficacy of Indulgences,” often known as “The 95 Theses,” a listing of questions and propositions for debate, sparking the Protestant Reformation.
10 + 31 + 1517 = 1558 → 1 + 5 + 5 + 8 = 19 → 1 + 9 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1
January 3, 2009: The genesis block is mined and the Bitcoin community was created.
01 + 03 + 2009 = 2013 → 2 + 0 + 1 + 3 = 6
January 3, 1521: “Pope Leo X points the papal bull Decet Romanum Pontificem, which excommunicates Martin Luther from the Catholic Church.” (Supply)
01 + 03 + 1521 = 1525 → 1 + 5 + 2 + 5 = 13 → 1 + 3 = 4
February 2140: Final bitcoin mined — 02 + 2140 = 2142 → 2 + 1 + 4 + 2 = 9
Time period of bitcoin mining: 2140 – 2009 = 131 years → 1 + 3 + 1 = 5
Time period of Protestant Reformation: 1648 – 1517 = 131 years → 1 + 3 + 1 = 5
The panic of 1893: The Gilded Age, a time of prosperity after the gold commonplace was restored, was interrupted as soon as in 1893. Congress was satisfied by newly inaugurated President Grover Cleveland to repeal silver bought by the Treasury. The 21 under symbolizes that the 21 million bitcoin will stop such chaos from ensuing once more.
1893 → 1 + 8 + 9 + 3 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3
Inventory market crash of 1929: 36 years later, the lesson of accelerating the cash provide had nonetheless not been discovered when “Benjamin Sturdy, chairman of the New York Federal Reserve … engaged in inflationary financial coverage … creat[ing] a bigger bubble within the housing and shares markets and priming the U.S. financial system … for the inevitable collapse.” (Ammous). The collapse did come and commenced “the longest melancholy in fashionable recorded historical past” lasting 120 months (Ammous).
1929 → 1 + 9 + 2 + 9 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3
120 → 1 + 2 = 3
December 10, 1948: The Common Declaration of Human Rights was adopted by the UN Common Meeting.
2008 – 1948 = 60 → 6 + 0 = 6
January 27, 1947 by means of February 10, 1947: Fee on Human Rights, First Session. The Fee on Human Rights was made up of 18 members from numerous political, cultural and non secular backgrounds.
18 → 1 + 8 = 9
1947 → 1 + 9 + 4 + 7 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3
Common Declaration of Human Rights Article 21 states:
- Everybody has the precise to participate within the authorities of his nation, straight or by means of freely chosen representatives.
- Everybody has the precise of equal entry to public service in his nation.
- The desire of the individuals shall be the premise of the authority of presidency; it will shall be expressed in periodic and real elections which shall be by common and equal suffrage and shall be held by secret vote or by equal free voting procedures.
July 26, 1947: Division of Protection Established
07 + 26 + 1947 = 1980 → 1 + 9 + 8 + 0 = 18 → 1 + 8 = 9
1947 → 1 + 9 + 4 + 7 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3
In Satoshi Nakamoto’s Bitcoin white paper, the phrase “community” is talked about precisely 21 occasions. No matter whether or not this was a purposeful motion by Nakamoto, I select to consider it speaks to the immense energy Bitcoin holds to foster connection.
21 → 2 + 1 = 3
ASCII (And Unicode) Observations
- ASCII: “American Customary Code for Data Interchange, an ordinary data-encoding format for digital communication between computer systems. ASCII assigns commonplace numeric values to letters, numerals, punctuation marks and different characters utilized in computer systems. Earlier than ASCII was developed, totally different makes and fashions of computer systems couldn’t talk with each other.” (Supply)
- Unicode: “Nevertheless, even prolonged ASCII doesn’t embrace sufficient code mixtures to help all written languages. This limitation gave rise to new encoding requirements — Unicode and UCS (Common Coded Character Set) — that may help all of the principal written languages. As a result of it incorporates ASCII as its first 128 code mixtures, Unicode (particularly UTF-8) is backward-compatible with ASCII whereas additionally representing many characters that ASCII can’t. Unicode, which was launched in 1991, noticed its utilization leap sharply within the first decade of the twenty first century, and it grew to become the commonest character-encoding system on the World Broad Internet.” (Supply)
(Supply)
Computer systems can solely course of binary data (0s and 1s), and the smallest unit of data known as a bit (therefore, bitcoin). The ASCII Code was created to encode characters utilizing 8 bits (a string of eight 0s and 1s).
Given how foundational the quantity 8 is to computer systems, I discover it extremely attention-grabbing that 8 just isn’t an answer to any of the equations on this article.
Nevertheless, ASCII is proscribed to solely 256 characters. Unicode was created to be universally inclusive and covers 128,000-plus characters.
To research textual content in laptop code, you should relate every character to binary. This relation is finished by giving every letter a decimal worth.
Let’s pause, for a second, and clarify how this decimal worth is acquired.
- Every bit within the string of 8 bits can both be “in use” or “not in use.” 0 = off and 1 = on.
- Every bit represents an influence of two:
- 2^7, 2^6, 2^5, 2^4, 2^3, 2^2, 2^1, 2^0
- 2^7 = 128
- 2^6 = 64
- 2^5 = 32
- 2^4 = 16
- 2^3 = 8
- 2^2 = 4
- 2^1 = 2
- 2^0 = 1
Instance: The letter “b” has a decimal worth of 98.
What mixture of 128, 64, 32, 16, 8, 4, 2, and 1 equals 98?
128 is just too massive, so let’s flip that “off.” Proper now, our string of 8 bits appears to be like like: 0XXXXXXX.
Now, let’s search for the biggest powers of two:
98 = 64 + … ?
= 64 + 32 + …?
= 64 + 32 + 2
Okay, so: 2^6, 2^5, and a pair of^1 might be turned “on.”
Now, our string of 8 bits appears to be like like this: 01100010.
Nevertheless, let’s say we got the binary, not the decimal worth. The worth at 2^7 has a 0, so which means it’s turned off; 128 just isn’t in our equation; 2^6 has a 1, so which means it’s turned “on”; 64 is in our equation. Observe this sample, and your summation will equal 98.
Given Bitcoin’s relationship to the core of computer systems (by means of “bit”), I analyzed the letters of necessary phrases in Bitcoin (through the use of their decimal values from the chart above) seeking 3s, 6s and 9s.
“Satoshi Nakamoto.”
There are 15 letters in “Satoshi Nakamoto.” Including the numerals 1 + 5 , you acquire the reply 6.
15 → 1 + 5 = 6
Now, utilizing the ASCII decimal values from the chart above:
83 + 97 + 116 + 111 + 115 + 104 + 32 (house) + 105 + 78 + 97 + 107 + 97 + 109 + 111 + 156 + 111 = 1629
1629 → 1 + 6 + 2 + 9 = 18 → 1 + 8 = 9
“satoshi nakamoto”
115 + 97 + 116 + 111 + 115 + 104 + 32 (house) + 105 + 110 + 97 + 107 + 97 + 109 + 111 + 156 + 111 = 1693
1693 = 1 + 6 + 9 + 3 = 19 = 10 = 1
“Martin Luther”
There are 12 letters in “Martin Luther.” Including the numerals 1 + 2 , you acquire the reply 3.
12 → 1+ 2 = 3
Now, utilizing the ASCII decimal values from the chart above:
77 + 97 + 114 + 116 + 105 + 110 + 32 (house) + 76 + 117 + 116 + 104 + 101 + 114 = 1279
1279 → 1 + 2 + 7 + 9 = 19 → 1 + 9 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1
“martin luther”
109 + 97 + 114 + 116 + 105 + 110 + 32 (house) + 108 + 117 + 116 + 104 + 101 + 114 = 1343
1343 → 1 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 11 → 1 + 1 = 2
*The one exception to “2” not being an answer.
Now, as I regarded on the phrases “bitcoin,” “bitcon” (no repeated letters), “BITCOIN,” and “BITCON” (no repeated letters), I experimented, calculating the sums horizontally (as you’ve beforehand seen me do), vertically (simplifying all particular person decimal values to 1 digit) and when repeated, letters/numbers had been eliminated.
“bitcoin”
98 + 105 + 116 + 99 + 111 + 105 + 110 = 744 → 7 + 4 + 4 = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6
^
8 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 3 + 6 + 2 = 42 → 4 + 2 = 6
^
8 + 6 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 28 → 2 + 8 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1 (w/ no repeated #s)
“bitcon” (w/ no repeated letters):
98 + 105 + 116 + 99 + 111 + 110 = 639 → 6 + 3 + 9 = 18 → 1 + 8 = 9
^
8 + 6 + 8 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 36 → 3 + 6 = 9
^
8 + 6 + 9 + 3 + 2 = 28 → 2 + 8 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1 (w/ no repeated #s)
“BITCOIN”
66 + 73 + 84 + 67 + 79 + 73 + 78 = 520 → 5 + 2 + 0 = 7
^
3 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 1 + 6 = 25 → 2 + 5 = 7
^
3 + 1 + 4 + 7 + 6 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3 (w/ no repeated #s)
BITCON (w/ no repeated letters):
66 + 73 + 84 + 67 + 79 + 78 = 447 = 15 → 1 + 5 = 6
^
3 + 1 + 3 + 4 + 7 + 6 = 24 → 2 + 4 = 6
^
3 + 1 + 4 + 7 + 6 = 21 → 2 + 1 = 3 (w/ no repeated #s)
BTC
66 + 84 + 67 = 217 → 2 + 1 + 7 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1
Sure, BTC is #1.
Conclusion
Just a few months in the past, I noticed the reappearance of 0, 1, 2 and 6 in core components of Bitcoin as too purposeful to be a coincidence. Inquisitive about different symbolic components of Bitcoin, hidden in numbers, I began a working word of necessary dates and folks associated to Bitcoin.
This text showcases the primary 45 summations of that word, analyzed to see if bitcoin has a connection to three, 6 and 9, supposedly the keys to the universe. Let’s take a look at a tally:
3: 11 occasions
6: 9 occasions
9: 9 occasions
1: 7 occasions
5: 3 occasions
7: 3 occasions
4: 2 occasions
2: 1 time
8: 0 occasions
3, 6, and 9: 29 occasions = 64%.
My reply is sure. Bitcoin does have a connection to three, 6 and 9. From these numbers, that are selective, math thinks Bitcoin is 64% of the important thing to the universe. Nevertheless, I nonetheless consider bitcoin is the important thing to fixing most of the points our world faces; it’s our primary software, and possibly math actually does suppose so, too: 64 → 6 + 4 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1.
