What’s up in the crypto space? Bitcoin halving!
If you’re still a little frazzled by that fact, then it might help to sit back and listen to the Social Block episode dedicated to the halving. Magy celebrated the landmark event with a discussion on the Bitcoin halving as explained by Bitcoin advocate and independent journalist, Joe Nakamoto (no relation to Satoshi, unfortunately).
Joe and Magy talked about:
🎓 Bitcoin halving 101: The basics about the halving, plus common misconceptions.
📖 Tales of halvings past…and present. Joe and Magy shared their experiences of halving events.
⛏️ Bitcoin mining: How the halving will affect miners and the complexity of the mining sector.
🎄 In a perhaps-not-so-dystopian future will the Bitcoin halving be celebrated like Christmas?
🌪 Is the hype around each Bitcoin halving good or bad?
