It is not enforced by mathematics.
P2SH (2012): Allowed for complex scripts and multi-signature wallets.
BIP34 (2013): Changed how blocks are upgraded and prevented duplicate transaction IDs.
BIP66 (2015): Upgraded digital signature security.
BIP65 (2015): Added absolute timelocks, letting users lock up coins until a specific date.
CSV (2016): Added relative timelocks, crucial for off-chain networks.
SegWit (2017): The most significant upgrade up to that point. It fixed a major bug (transaction malleability), altered block weight to effectively increase transaction capacity, and paved the way for the Lightning Network.
Taproot (2021): Enhanced privacy, improved smart contract capabilities, and streamlined complex transaction

It is possible for Trillions (2026) A change so that every user gets a trillion bitcoin.
Consensus decides what bitcoin is. The people who decide the consensus are developers and exchanges, not you.

The total blackbody radiation emitted by the cylinder in space is approximately 124.32 kilowatts
The total power radiated is determined using the Stefan-Boltzmann Law:(P = \sigma \cdot A \cdot T^4\)Stefan-Boltzmann Constant (\(\sigma \)): \(5.6704 \times 10^{-8} \text{ W/m}^2\text{K}^4\)Temperature (\(T\)): \(20^\circ\text{C} = 293.15\text{ K}\)Radius (\(r\)): \(3.5\text{ m}\) (half of the 7m width)Length (\(L\)): \(10\text{ m}\)Surface Area ScenariosTotal Surface Area (With End Caps): \(296.88\text{ m}^2\)Formula: \(2\pi rL + 2\pi r^2\)Total Radiation: 124.32 kW

A good thermos is also silvered to prevent radiation losses.
I am having trouble explaining to you how heat can be lost into a vacuum insulator. Perhaps think of it the other way. How hot does the Sun feel? That heat has got to you through many miles of vacuum insulator.
A satellite at a much cooler temp also shines , but less
