RobA on Nostr: I think Satoshi wanted to use the 2016 number as an Easter egg to the US 6102 ...
I think Satoshi wanted to use the 2016 number as an Easter egg to the US 6102 executive order. Also, it’s enough time to get an accurate average of block times. Daily would probably be much more volatile as a few quick or slow blocks could throw the average time way off.
