Dad: Son, do you remember the "Y2K problem"?
Son: Hi Dad,
Yeah, I remember that "Millennium-Bug" FUD.
It's even mentioned in the "The Sovereign Individual" as "Y2K TIME BOMB". You will find it in the "The Transition of the Year 2000" chapter.
Dad, why are you asking?
Dad: I have been reading about the "2038 problem" and wonder if Bitcoin will be affected as well.
Son: No worries, Dad. Bitcoin uses an unsigned integer for the timestamp, so the year 2038 problem is delayed for another 68 years.
