Did Bitcoin's Original Code Include a Block Reward Reset After 140 Years? In Bitcoin's original code (2009), the block reward starts at 50 BTC and halves every 210,000 blocks. Was there ever any mention or code in early implementations suggesting the block reward could reset to 50 BTC after 140 years, or is this a myth? I remember this idea from a comment here on Reddit. Is it correct, or is my mind tricking me? I’ve already done some research, but I couldn’t find anything. However, I recall that in the initial proposal, the idea was that the supply would mimic the discovery of new 'BTC mines,' increasing the reward to 50 BTC again.

Bitcoin’s future lies in its increasing adoption, technological advancements, and macroeconomic value. With a fixed supply of 21 million, Bitcoin is seen as "digital gold," offering protection against inflation and economic instability. Institutional adoption, driven by players like BlackRock's Spot ETF, will bring more capital. The 2024 halving will create scarcity, historically driving price growth. Technological tools like Lightning Network improve scalability and usability, solidifying its role as both a store of value and a payment medium. Clearer regulations globally, while challenging, will enhance trust and access, ensuring Bitcoin’s continued growth.
