🚨 THE BITCOIN PARADOX: WHERE’D THE 1 BTC GO?! 🧠💸
This isn't just a math riddle. It's a glimpse into the strange logic of money — and maybe even crypto itself. Let me explain:
Three friends walk into a café on the blockchain. 🍽️
The bill? 30 BTC.
They each chip in 10 BTC — fair and square.
But wait — the waiter double-checks and realizes:
“Oops, the total was only 25 BTC.”
He grabs 5 BTC to return… but splitting 5 three ways? Tough.
So he gives 1 BTC back to each friend (3 BTC total),
And quietly keeps 2 BTC as a tip. 😏
Now here’s where things get weird:
Each friend paid 10 BTC, but got 1 BTC back.
So they really paid 9 BTC each → 9 × 3 = 27 BTC.
Add the 2 BTC the waiter kept…
27 + 2 = 29 BTC?
But they originally paid 30 BTC.
🌀 Where’s the missing 1 BTC?
Did it get stuck in a mempool?
Was it burned in a phantom smart contract?
Or is it just a trick of the mind?
👉 The truth? You’re looking at it wrong.
You’re adding what should’ve been subtracted.
The 2 BTC tip is already inside that 27 BTC total.
It’s 25 BTC for the meal + 2 BTC tip + 3 BTC refunded = 30 BTC. ✅
No glitch. No exploit. Just a sleight of hand — financial edition.
But for a moment, you questioned the fabric of digital money.
And that’s what makes this the Bitcoin Paradox.
