I created Timechain Calendar to visualize Bitcoin in a new way. Instead of staring at a price chart each day I check my calendar to see how the timechain has progressed since the last time I looked.

The blocks become a new unit of time progression, a much higher-resolution measurement than just a date. Referencing my days and moments with this system connects my experiences to Bitcoin in a profound way.

With the arrival of every new block, the simultaneous generation of new supply and confirmation of user transactions is a very real reminder of the purpose of this network and protocol.

The pace of blocks confirms the continued successful operation of the network. It also reveals the actual impact of changes in the mining difficulty that regulate Bitcoin’s monetary issuance policy.

The halvings unfold in a much longer arc than our standard yearly timeframe. Staying conscious of my progress through the cycles of Bitcoin's fixed-supply enforcement gives greater meaning to the concept.

The visualization of the entire lifetime of the network as a percentage of max supply issued offers a new lens. I can reframe my lifetime in a low time-preference context, which has already yielded very impactful changes in how I live.

I created this tool to encapsulate all of these perspectives in a compact, glanceable interface that functions as my calendar, my daily reference for where and when I am. Simply being aware and staying informed of everything here changes my perception. Checking in and actually seeing the steady functioning of Bitcoin is a comforting and conviction enhancing daily habit.
