I'm pretty sure that "the halvening" was first coined as a phrase for Dogecoin's halving, but then it was adopted by Bitcoiners and now it's tough to trace the etymology.

I cringe every time I read it.

Lmao

Dogecoin………..

🤮

is there a better, more aligned term?

Halving

Reduction of the block reward by half

dogcoin is basically a fork of bitcoin so who copied who?

Darn I’ve been saying “halving” this whole time

lol, I can see that, it's like a spin on the "HAPPENING" meme. Been saying "halving" the whole time, too

well, it's "halfing" from now on:)

In a recent btctorg thread 'halvening' is traced back to Aug 2012, that should be way before doge. I like it, because it sounds odd and resembles 'happening', which the halvening is. Member last halvening's zoom parties? I member 😁
