FYI: I believe this to be a real, interesting far-future Bitcoin money-supply bug that's being presented in a semi-parodic fashion.

The joke may thus be that it's not entirely a joke, a little like the 1999 April 1st RFC2550, which actually presents some clever solutions for the Y10K date-representation problem and far beyond:
