- On November 20, 2023, at 1 : 23 : 47 AM GMT+08:00, a milestone was reached - the first halving of Nervos CKB. With this halving, $CKB inflation rate reduced from 7.92% to substantially lower than 3.77%. This also resulted in a daily mining output decrease to 5.75 million CKB. Nervos Network has curated a range of activities to celebrate the halving, including:
- Halving Party: CKB 1st halving
- CKB Halving: Video
- Halving Countdown Websites: CKBDapps, NervosHalving
- To mark the Nervos halving milestone, Nervape hosted Halve Ape Blast, where participants enjoyed crafting their unique and personalized Halve Nervape avatars. All 900 cells have been swiftly claimed.

A History of Bitcoin Maximalism
As BRC 20 is gaining popularity, a retrospective examination of Bitcoin Maximalism (BTC Maxi) seems particularly relevant. This article traces the origin, variations, and associated cautions of BTC Maxi. Originating from BitcoinTalk's defense against altcoins, BTC Maxi took a toxic turn in 2015, evolving into an exclusive culture under the influence of Mircea Popescu and ultimately leading to a fork from Bitcoin Core. The author advocates for a balanced, non-toxic BTC Maxi, emphasizing BTC's role as a robust, integrity-ensured database.
Unveiling the Driving Force: Why Developers Migrated from Bitcoin to Ethereum
The article revisits a series of discussions sparked by a Dapp protocol named Counterparty in 2014, and explores why Dapp developers now favor Ethereum over Bitcoin. It reveals that it was not transaction fees or EVM's superiority that drove devs to Ethereum, but rather a lack of interest in these features within the Bitcoin community. Community culture and concerns about the misuse of transaction data when interacting with Dapps have pushed many Dapp developers away from the Bitcoin community. Indeed, community culture has the power to shape the blockchain ecosystem.
Why I Wrote PGP
Tracing back to the creation of PGP (Pretty Good Privacy) holds exceptional significance today regarding our right to digital privacy. Philip R. Zimmermann, who created PGP and almost went to jail for it, argues that, “the only way to hold the line on privacy in the information age is strong cryptography”. The US Government’s encryption policy proposal “key escrow" in 1993 made him realize that to counter the unsettling trend in the government to outlaw cryptography, one effective approach is to maximize its use while it's still legal. As strong cryptography gains popularity, attempts to criminalize it become more challenging.
