This Bitcoin halving is the most expensive ever

This year is an especially rich Bitcoin halving, with Runes and the so-called ‘Epic Sat’ adding speculative fervor to global celebrations.

Halving excitement pumps ‘worthless’ bitcoin testnet

Testnet bitcoin is supposed to have no value, but Runes and the halving have given tBTC tens of millions of dollars of value.

This month alone, Michael Saylor has sold over $70 million worth of MicroStrategy stock, while in March he sold $144 million.

The official Bitcoin website isn’t Bitcoin.org and the latest full node software release should be downloaded from elsewhere.

Following the launch of Bitcoin Ordinals early last year, individual and potentially rare sats can now be numbered and traded like NFTs.
