Planet Daily News: Corn co-founder Zak Cole posted on X platform, stating that Bitcoin once created approximately 184 billion BTC out of thin air due to a Bug on August 15, 2010. This "value overflow event" resulted in two wallets receiving around 92.2 billion BTC. Satoshi Nakamoto and several other developers (including Jeff Garzik and Gavin Andresen) launched a new client version with a soft fork five hours later to prevent similar events in the future. All nodes were upgraded at block 74691, with the new chain replacing the old chain. Zak Cole noted that this event demonstrates Bitcoin's scarcity is actually protected by humans, not code. The only reason Bitcoin did not perish that day was because someone noticed the issue and released a fix, with invalid blocks being removed from consensus within five hours. Bitcoin was saved not because of the protocol, but because of the people running the protocol - this is the truth behind the "trustless" narrative. The code did not save Bitcoin; the community saved Bitcoin.
