The story

Behind the Block 500,000, Dec 18, 2017 tee

Round numbers get celebrated, and Bitcoin has its own. Block 500,000 was mined in December 2017, and this tee marks it the way a roadside sign marks a milestone. A plain orange marker with a rounded top carries two lines of white capitals, one for the block and one for the date.

Block 500,000 was mined on December 18, 2017, at 18:35:25 UTC by BTC.com, and it included 2,701 transactions. The block reward at the time was 12.5 BTC. A round number like this is a natural milestone to mark, the way people mark anniversaries or distances on a road. The shirt keeps to the block, the date and the marker. It says nothing about price or peaks, and it is not financial advice.

Wear it to a bitcoin history talk or a block-watchers meetup, where the round number gets a cheer. Outsiders will see a tidy marker and two lines of text, while fans will catch the date at once. It is a quiet, detailed shirt for someone who keeps a mental list of milestones.

Questions

About this design

Why is block 500,000 a milestone?

It is a round number, and round numbers are fun to mark. The block was mined on December 18, 2017, which gives it a clean date to remember. The shirt does not claim the block mattered more than any other, and it does not link the number to any price or market event.

What was the block reward at that time?

The block reward was 12.5 BTC when block 500,000 was mined. Bitcoin's rules set the reward and cut it in half at fixed points, so the reward has changed since then. For the current schedule, check a dedicated guide on halvings and read the figures from a reliable source.

Are there other block milestone tees?

Yes. The shop has a tee that marks the third halving at block 630,000, with its own drawing and wording. Each design is different, so you can pick the milestone that means the most to you. Every size is $39.99, and the shirts are printed to order.
