Beyond the numbers, this time felt different. While the halving is usually a reminder of Bitcoin's reliability, this year's event was anything but predictable. Somehow, block 840,000 felt like it ushered in a new era.
Today, the landscape is unrecognizable. Piety is openly mocked and most of the high priests have been exiled. Apostasy is trending. We've broken out of the insular mold - everyone is a Bitcoiner.
The holy blockchain is being pillaged and no Bitcoin node is safe. At the risk of using yet another analogy, it's a true Berlin Wall moment. Speculative mercenaries have crossed over and they're finding the place pretty comfy.
As expected, this defacing of Bitcoin's sanctity isn't sitting well with the old guard. They have been busy denouncing this behavior, adamant that heretics should be filtered ostracized.
