I'm four or five years into Bitcoin and a year full-time into Bitcoin. And, every three weeks or so, I find some idea or have a realization about Bitcoin that blows my mind and leaves me in awe.

I heard somewhere that the halving is just one line of code. 

And I started thinking about everything that the halving implies and does and sets in motion... and it's one line of code. Wow.
