Happy Halving!

Happy Halving!

(Or is it "halvening"?! Well, that's not really a word, so let's use "halving" 😉)

So what I'm talking about is — Bitcoin got cut in half... 

Well, it's actually the block rewards that got cut in half.

But there's no shortage of people who don't know what's going on with the Bitcoin halving, as can be seen on Twitter:


Not only that... but the financial guy on CNBC actually said "the supply of bitcoin gets cut in half" 🤦‍♂️

It was nice to see that most answers to these tweets were genuinely helpful, and that CNBC was the only one being made fun of... lol.

I also saw a bunch of folks planning on "Bitcoin Halving parties" in which they would hang out on video chats while Bitcoin reached it's 630,000th block (when the halving took place). 

Not really sure what else there is to do in such a party... maybe some good discussion came out of them 🤷‍♂️

Anyway, I got some great news for you today... about...

CRYPTOZOMBIES!!

The Latest CryptoZombies Lesson Is Live 🎉

Yes yes... another CryptoZombies lesson is now available  🎉 

This is the third lesson of a series on how to build and interact with an oracle. 

If you missed the first two lessons, here is Part 1 and Part 2 — and you should probably look at those first before diving into this one. In those first lessons, we showed you to build and interact with the simplest possible oracle that allows only one user, its owner, to fetch data from Binance's public API.
 
Now, in this third lesson, we show you how to make your oracle more decentralized.

So if you're ready, go ahead and take a look at...


That's it for today...
I'll get at you soon with more news.
Until next time...
