Watched the halving on mempool.space with the kids. Never had them so interested. They were actually super excited about how high fees got after the halving. Little future miners...

What will you be doing / are you doing during the halving?
For me, I left work early today to drive my daughter to rock climbing and also drive my wife around to pickup things during our daughter's rock climbing session. So I'll probably be driving when it happens and won't be able to take a photo of 840000 on my blockclock or even take a phone screenshot of it on Timechain Calendar. Wife and daughter precedes bitcoin I guess. Tick tock next block and happy halving stackers! Onwards to the next epoch.

I'll be watching the Heat continue beating down the Bulls. Looks like the survivor pool will survive into the actual playoffs.
reply
Up by 10 at the half. Still anyone's game.
reply
The Heat look like the better team, though, and now they’re up 15.
reply
You are correct. Game ended while I was still on chauffeur duty. Go Heat! Destroy those Celtics! And congrats to the survivors. The pool shall go on.

It just occurred to me that this will be the first Stacker News halving. Here's to many more.

Happy 3.125!!!
reply
Happy halving day bitcoin. Is it halving or halvening? Personally, I like halvening as it sounds like a happening (which it is!). However, I think most people have gone with halving. Either way, just a few blocks yet to go to 3.125
I've seen folks say, "'halvening'" isn't even a real word." Oh yeah, yeah, you're right. That really matters with bitcoin. hodl fud fomo
reply
Watch the blocks roll in on 5 visualizers / Nodes at the same time while listening to some music. Enjoy :)
there will be some live commentary for the last 6 or so blocks from the Bitcoin discord.
you can join the event on stage here if you like. all are welcome, so long as it's kept to Bitcoin talk.

Almost forgot to post it today and on halving day. For shame.
Howdy!
83 days of 100 push ups a day until 100k down. Undetermined to go. 79 days of 100 squats a day until 100k down. Undetermined to go.
In honour of the halving. I am going to do a halving of sets and instead of 2 sets of 50, I will do one set of 100. If you don't hear from me tomorrow, I likely can't move my arms. Haha.
reply
Definitely report back on how the 100 in one go went.

I did it right after posting. Squats were no problem. I got to 65 push ups ok and then needed to stop and take a few deep breaths, then again at 80 and 90 but I got it done. My triceps were barking afterwards.

Great job man! Happy halving day. Tick tock next block.

reply
I was some days disconnected away from everything, just thinking about life. I feel better. Of course, today I was thinking about Bitcoin and the halving too. People say that it had to be on a 4/20 and price should be 69K at the moment of halving. This is fun to think about, but we'll see. But not much happens at the moment of the halving. The most interesting part will be to see if there are miners who stop mining during the next days and see if difficulty decreases next. Until then, time average between blocks may increase. After a few difficulty adjustments, everything will go back to normal and price should increase steadily in the meantime.
by the way I met a very extremely successful hodler and she didn't know what the halving was. So yeah, it is not difficult to be a very good hodler. just hodl. **Ignore all the noise. **

Legal Tender

A “tender” is the name given to a small boat that “tends” to the needs of a larger ship, usually by transporting people or supplies from shore or another ship.
With the word legal referring to a contract, the term “legal tender” means to “tend” to a debt sometime in the future, by way of contract.
Meaning, by using legal tender the debt is never paid, as the “small boat” never left the “shore” to deliver the “money”.
Theese are contracts:
reply
Well said. That's why saying "Bitcoin is legal tender" is kind of moronic thing.

I tried to find the exact words as written in the El Salvador Bitcoin law, but found only the proposition of the law. It says "Bitcoin is regulated as legal tender" not "Bitcoin is legal tender". If something is as something else, it's not that thing.

fer reals that's what it says? Regulated?

LOL posting tweets from a scam wallet... idk how this wallet still exist after they got hacked and had a lot of loses. But yeah, nowadays people are soooo RETARDED using these crap apps.
reply
Just telling, they even don't know what halving is all about.
Yes, idk as well why people ask back what they have forsaken voluntarily. I mean when everyone knows that these kind of wallets only scam people, why they put their faith in them?

What are you most grateful for? What shows up in your life unexpectedly, just at the right moment?
This rose!
It is beautiful isn't it?
Whenever I see it, it puts a smile on my face. It doesn't matter what I am doing, what mood I am in or what is going on around me, when this rose turns up, I stop, say hello and smile from ear to ear.
And when I say turns up, that is exactly what I mean! It blooms at all times of year, when I need it too! I have a picture somewhere deep in the abyss of my picture gallery where it has icicles attached to it as it appeared in the dead of winter!
You see, it is my signal. It comes up to remind me to be grateful for all that I have and for all that surrounds me, be it possessions or the love in my life that I have created.
Even now, knowing what true happiness is and letting love pour through each and every cell of my body at all times, I can still have moments where I get overwhelmed, flustered or feel down.
This rose, serves as a reminder to feel into each and every emotion. Not to ignore the "negative" ones as they are just as important and be grateful that I have the knowledge of how to do that.
Gone have my days of depression, panic attacks, flashbacks and anxiety because I am able to work through everything that I feel, get down to the route cause, feel deeply and then move myself through.
I am so grateful for this magikal rose for guiding and supporting me along the way.

If those around us are creating mirrors of ourselves, then when we judge them we are actually judging ourselves, either because we recognise something in them that we don't like about ourselves or we recognise that they have achieved something that we didn't have the courage to go out and do ourselves. Personally I see judgement as a compliment when I receive it and a learning opportunity when I find myself being the judge - what do I need to transform from within?
