Wrong. The difficulty changes every 2016 blocks, not 2 weeks.

Yeah...talk about disruptive technology...lol  Most of the 21 million bitcoins would be mined in no time compared to the original estimates...
the difficulty changes every 2 weeks. So unless we could online this massive amount of hash power in that timeline, difficulty will quickly increase to keep the block generation as close to 144 per day as possible.

you know what I meant.....

They are completely different. If the difficulty change is time-based, we could theoretically mine 21 million bitcoins instantly. But this is not true
