Interesting #Bitcoin fact
The TimeStamp in the Block Header is a Unix-style timestamp which counts the number of seconds since January 1, 1970.
The timestamp is used with timestamp -based locktimes on transactions & adjusting the difficulty level every 2,016 blocks.
‘It will take approximately 136 years from the inception of #Bitcoin (2009) to reach the maximum timestamp value. Therefore, the Unix timestamp in #Bitcoin is not expected to run out of space until around the year 2136.’ - ChatGPT3.5
When 2136 arrives, The #Bitcoin will be so ingrained in our environment (Beyond Hyperbitcoinization) it would have us dependent on its timestamps to dictate time to us. But when space runs out,we will have to adapt to 10 minute intervals when Blocks are added to the TimeChain.
We will be able to adapt because our current connection to pace of time will be very different for how advanced society will be then.Our physical bodies will slow down because almost all labor will be robots but our minds will move quicker because more time can be given to mind.
More time can be given to exploring our minds and expanding our consciousness.
