Social Block

It’s been a month since the Bitcoin halving. The dust has settled, we’re past the supposed 2-week danger zone for BTC prices. All in all, it’s a good time to look back and see what happened in the ecosystem and where we’re headed from here.
Have a listen to our post-halving episode where Magy was joined by none other than Allen Farrington, co-author of Bitcoin Is Venice.
The episode features stories from how the Nexo team spent the halving, a breakdown of events following it, and after the end of the episode, a short bonus discussion of how Allen came to publish Bitcoin is Venice. What we covered:
🤨 Was the halving priced in, what part ETFs played and why we shouldn’t fixate on the price.
🎢 The rollercoaster ride in the first days after the halving: the launch of Runes, transaction fees ups and downs, and mainstream vs. crypto newsflows.
⛄ Why the Bitcoin halving is like Soviet Christmas – bear with us on this one, t’was a fun analogy.
🐦 Why Twitter (X) is not real life, but Bitcoin will become the infrastructure for our lives.
