The halving holiday
AI summary of the linked articleThe author argues that Bitcoin's halving deserves to be treated as a holiday and proposes that bitcoiners build traditions around it using three habits: reflection, ritual and renewal. The halving is described as unusual because its timing depends on block height rather than the calendar, it occurs every 210,000 blocks, and it will happen only 32 times in total. The piece lists recent developments from the last epoch, including El Salvador adopting bitcoin as legal tender, and urges bitcoiners to gather together at each halving to strengthen community and shared purpose. |
1 comment  rvolz.ethSubmitter As the author states, there would be only 32 of these holidays. What would be the scenario for the last one? Something like the "end of times"? We can acknowledge that the implications of The Halving currently only impact a small subset of the world’s population. Those who hold, transact with or mine bitcoin are really the only ones even paying attention. But it's fun to consider how the commemoration of The Halving might evolve and expand as worldwide adoption of this pristine asset continues to accelerate. |
