That is an opinion editorial by Ella Hough, a pupil at Cornell College, pursuing levels in cognitive science and ethical psychology.
Lately, I’ve been trying into a number of 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 rationale for my fascination got here after studying the next quote and rationalization of Nikola Tesla’s theory that “In case you solely knew the magnificence of three, 6, and 9, you then would have a key to the universe.”
I consider Bitcoin is the “key” to fixing lots 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 dearth of two* or 8 being an answer to any of the equations outlined beneath.
Observe: In all situations 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.
“Govt Order 6102 is an government order signed on April 5, 1933, by US President Franklin D. Roosevelt “forbidding the hoarding of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates throughout the continental United States.” Govt Order 6102 required all individuals to ship on or earlier than Could 1, 1933, all however a small quantity of gold coin, gold bullion, and gold certificates owned by them to the Federal Reserve in change for $20.67 (equal to $433 in 2021) per troy ounce” — Executive 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 problem is up to date each 2,016 blocks. For this reason every 2,016 block interval is known as the problem epoch, because the community determines whether or not the actions of miners for the final two weeks have decreased or elevated the time it takes to mine a brand new block” — Andrey Sergeenkov
2 + 0 + 1 + 6 = 9
This bitcoin mining problem replace each 2,016 blocks is a palindrome of 6102.
There are 21,000,000 bitcoin.
2 + 1 + 6 zeroes = 9
In case you would fairly not depend “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 problem 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 is just not one thing that may all the time be elevated.
Decentralized and out there for use and held by each particular person on Earth, bitcoin is sound cash. Moreover, as Saifedean Ammous asserts in “The Bitcoin Standard,”
“Sound cash… protects worth throughout time, which supplies folks an even bigger incentive to think about their future …When financial resolution making is geared towards the long run…Individuals grow to be extra peaceable and cooperative…Individuals develop a powerful sense of morality, prioritizing the ethical decisions that may trigger the most effective long-term outcomes for them and their youngsters.”
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.
Details
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,” also called “The 95 Theses,” an inventory 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.” (Source)
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 customary 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 beneath 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 Robust, 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. economic 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 way of February 10, 1947: Fee on Human Rights, First Session. The Commission 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 suitable to participate within the authorities of his nation, instantly or by way of freely chosen representatives.
- Everybody has the suitable of equal entry to public service in his nation.
- The need of the folks shall be the premise of the authority of presidency; this can 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 instances. 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, a typical data-encoding format for digital communication between computer systems. ASCII assigns customary 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.” (Source)
- Unicode: “Nevertheless, even prolonged ASCII doesn’t embrace sufficient code combos to assist all written languages. This limitation gave rise to new encoding requirements — Unicode and UCS (Common Coded Character Set) — that may assist all of the principal written languages. As a result of it incorporates ASCII as its first 128 code combos, 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 most typical character-encoding system on the World Huge Net.” (Source)

Computer systems can solely course of binary info (0s and 1s), and the smallest unit of knowledge is 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 is just not an answer to any of the equations on this article.
Nevertheless, ASCII is restricted 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 want to relate every character to binary. This relation is completed 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 simply too giant, so let’s flip that “off.” Proper now, our string of 8 bits seems like: 0XXXXXXX.
Now, let’s search for the most important powers of two:
98 = 64 + … ?
= 64 + 32 + …?
= 64 + 32 + 2
Okay, so: 2^6, 2^5, and a couple of^1 could be turned “on.”
Now, our string of 8 bits seems like this: 01100010.
Nevertheless, let’s say we got the binary, not the decimal worth. The worth at 2^7 has a 0, so meaning it’s turned off; 128 is just not in our equation; 2^6 has a 1, so meaning 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 way of “bit”), I analyzed the letters of essential phrases in Bitcoin (by utilizing their decimal values from the chart above) looking for 3s, 6s and 9s.
“Satoshi Nakamoto.”
There are 15 letters in “Satoshi Nakamoto.” Including the numerals 1 + 5 , you get hold of the reply 6.
15 → 1 + 5 = 6
Now, utilizing the ASCII decimal values from the chart above:
83 + 97 + 116 + 111 + 115 + 104 + 32 (area) + 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 (area) + 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 get hold of the reply 3.
12 → 1+ 2 = 3
Now, utilizing the ASCII decimal values from the chart above:
77 + 97 + 114 + 116 + 105 + 110 + 32 (area) + 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 (area) + 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 at least one 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
A couple of 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 operating observe of essential dates and other people associated to Bitcoin.
This text showcases the primary 45 summations of that observe, analyzed to see if bitcoin has a connection to three, 6 and 9, supposedly the keys to the universe. Let’s have a look at a tally:
3: 11 instances
6: 9 instances
9: 9 instances
1: 7 instances
5: 3 instances
7: 3 instances
4: 2 instances
2: 1 time
8: 0 instances
3, 6, and 9: 29 instances = 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 lots of the points our world faces; it’s our primary software, and perhaps math actually does assume so, too: 64 → 6 + 4 = 10 → 1 + 0 = 1.
