Citizenship is no longer reported, but English-only students dropped to the level of English-as-a-2nd-language students. However, students who didn't give their language took the SAT more than ESL students for the 1st time in 2022, while these non-responders' scores plummeted.

Why will we end up with 21 million coins in the end?
You think this is easy? Let's see... 🧵 of 21 👇
1. We all know the easy answer: because in its first halving cycle, #bitcoin created 10.5 million coins (50 block subsidy coins * 210,000 blocks), and half that in the next, etc. After a number of cycles, we will have close to 21 million coins.
But I'm asking why, not how.

2. Let's dig in. #Satoshi was (partly) a coder, so he was obsessed with the powers of 2. Many generations of computers have been built on these powers: 8 / 16 / 32 and 64-bit computing and operating systems - to mention just the most obvious.
