Also CipherionX said that the emails were shared in advance of a website being developed on the history of Bitcoin
When asked about how Satoshi arrived at the “magic numbers” of 21 million coins (Bitcoin’s approximate final cap), he simply replied: “Educated guess, and the maths work out to round numbers. I wanted something that would be not too low if it was very popular and not too high if it wasn’t.” He further conceded that the 10-minute block target was also a guess.
“Bitcoin has long outgrown Satoshi. I know it won’t happen, but I would love to see him come back and contribute once again, though I won’t expect his vision to be the driving force behind Bitcoin’s future”, wrote CipherionX.
