Turing Complete Charlatan, Prof. Faux can't do high school math.

Prof Faux is saying that if sats are further divisible by keeping halving and moving decimal places, there will be more coins.

Did Prof. Faux ever learned what is a geometric series in those high schools down under?

Lets consider what happens if we keep block rewards forever accessible. We have 210,000 blocks in a halving, and halvings just go forever, 50 coins, then 25, 12.5, ... . Total of coins?

total = 210,000 x (50 + 25 + 12.5 + ...) = 210,000 x 50 x (1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + ...)

The infinite sum S = 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + ... evaluates to 1/(1 - 1/2) = 2, thus

total = 210,000 x 50 x 2 = 21,000,000

Abracadabra! It is magic! /s ...

So the people moving the decimal point to account for quantities below 1 sat are not creating any inflation whatsoever.

But don't let high school math get in your way to badmouth ABC and everybody else!!
