nostr:npub1excellx58e497gan6fcsdnseujkjm7ym5yp3m4rp0ud4j8ss39js2pn72a from the conversations you’ve had with nation states, was the halving occurring as “planned” (“anticipated”, “predicted” … whatever the right word) important for their adoption?

I imagine for most of the people in those rooms, it was their first exposure to a halving. Hearing about the halving and then watching the bitcoin protocol operate autonomously as designed via the halving milestone are probably two different experiences.

If I was running a government, corporation, institution then watching a halving occur as predicted would definitely carry some water. I’d be more willing to allocate to Bitcoin after then before.
