The story
Behind the Banks Close, Blocks Don't tee
Banks keep opening hours, and bitcoin keeps block times: the network runs day and night every day of the year. A moon over the words says it without a sermon.
Bitcoin is built to produce a block roughly once every ten minutes, which works out to roughly 144 blocks a day, and it does so around the clock, on weekends and on holidays. There is no closing time because there is no single office: computers around the world run the software on their own schedules. The shirt states that fact plainly and makes no claim about any particular bank or service.
A tidy choice for a conference, a late-night coding session or a Sunday meetup. The moon makes the shirt look calm and a little mysterious, and the two short sentences are easy for anyone to read from across a room.
Questions
About this design
Does this shirt say anything about a specific bank?
No. It makes a general contrast between business hours and a network that never stops, and it names no bank or institution. The line is a neutral observation about schedules, not a claim about how any company operates.
Is it true that a block arrives every ten minutes?
On average, yes. The network adjusts its difficulty so a block turns up about every ten minutes, although any single gap can be much shorter or longer. Over a full day that averages out to roughly 144 blocks, whatever the weekday or holiday.
Why is there a moon on the shirt?
A moon stands for night, when offices are dark and doors are locked. It is drawn as a plain full circle with a few craters and two small sparkles, in orange outline, to suggest the network is still running after hours. It is an image of the idea, nothing more.
