This equation calculates the bitcoin supply cap

: add up whatever's in here, with going from 0 to 32, i.e. for epochs 0 to 32

: take 50, divide it by , then round it down ; this is the block reward per block in epoch

: the total number of blocks per epoch

FYI - the equation is slightly wrong because the floor function should only be used if the units are denominated in satoshis, but in this equation they're denominated in bitcoin
