In this morning's Informationist, James Lavish made a significant typo:

I know I won't be around to witness the pure beauty of Satoshi's Bitcoin Supply Formula pay out its final reward. When the last fraction of Bitcoin is mined in 2040.

He sent out this email to acknowledge the error:

Hey everyone, I’d normally just ignore a typo, but this one is pretty significant. In this morning’s Informationist, at the end of the letter, it should read,

I know I won't be around to witness the pure beauty of Satoshi's Bitcoin Supply Formula pay out its final reward. When the last fraction of Bitcoin is mined in 2140.

Even the greats screw up occasionally.

Double faux pas because he got the date wrong and killed himself off faster than the Leafs in the playoff run. (Ok that's an exaggeration, nothing has a shorter lifespan than the Leafs in the playoffs)

Nice tie in! He should have another 16 years easy.

I work as a teacher, but ngl it took me a while to spot the error. And I was on alert, looking out for it haha.

I think my mind took over n speed read the whole thing, so I looked but didn’t really see

I didn’t spot the error either.

I didn't notice it when I first read it.

100 years is a long time. I noticed right away that... The last halving is in 2136.
