💡 THE BITCOIN PARADOX — Can YOU spot the missing 1 BTC? 🧠⚡️
Three friends walk into a restaurant and split a bill of 30 BTC — easy math.
Each pays 10 BTC.
But the waiter later realizes:
🤯 Oops — the bill was only 25 BTC!
He brings back 5 BTC in 1-BTC coins.
To keep it simple, he gives 1 BTC back to each friend (3 BTC total), and quietly keeps 2 BTC for himself.
Now let’s break it down:
Each friend paid 10 BTC but got 1 BTC back, so they effectively paid 9 BTC.
🔢 3 friends × 9 BTC = 27 BTC total paid
Waiter kept 2 BTC…
So:
27 + 2 = 29 BTC…?
But they originally paid 30 BTC!
😱 Where’s the missing 1 BTC?!
🧠 The Twist:
It’s a logic trap.
The 2 BTC the waiter kept is already included in the 27 BTC.
Here’s the actual breakdown:
• 25 BTC = cost of the meal
• 2 BTC = waiter’s sneaky tip
= 27 BTC total spent
The 3 BTC returned to the friends?
It completes the original 30 BTC:
27 (spent) + 3 (returned) = 30 BTC.
🎩 No BTC is missing — it’s just clever math misdirection.
🟡 Crypto takeaway:
Even in Web3, always double-check your math… and your waiter. 😅
