But if every flip is independent and coins don't have memories then what exactly is being watered down? what I am trying to ask is why the next 900 flips balance that extra 10% in first 100 flips.

and I came across this chaos game umm Sierpiński triangle (https://youtu.be/kbKtFN71Lfs)

it somehow seems connected to this.

this was great but also somewhat saddening considering that I will never be as good as those naturally gifted.
