Hidden in the Block Reward

Ran an analysis of BTC for a model I am building and noticed a coincidence hidden right in front of us. The size of the Block Reward (at time of writing is 6.25 BTC / block) is representative of the % of total Bitcoin to ever be mined on that cycle.

Cycle 1 = 50 BTC / block, will be 50% of all BTC mined.

Cycle 2 = 25 BTC / block, will be 25% of all BTC mined.

Cycle 3 = 12.5 BTC/ block, will be 12.5% of all BTC mined.

Cycle 4 = 6.25 BTC / block, will be 6.25% of all BTC mined.

Can't believe I didn't see it before, makes total sense now after the product of Blocks per Cycle (210,000 ) by the reward per block when compared to terminal BTC (21,000,000). I love math.

I'm sure many of you were already aware but for those who weren't wanted to share it.

No, Bitcoin is not controlled by a small group of investors and miners (A rebuttal to the TechSpot article)

Day 9: I will post this guide regularly until available solutions like SegWit, order batching, and Lightning payment channels are mass adopted, the mempool is empty once again, and tx fees are low. Have you done your part?
