The story
Behind the Halving 1, Block 210,000 tee
Bitcoin's block reward gets cut in half at set points, and the first cut is still the one history buffs bring up. Orange scissors sit above the lettering, so the drawing makes the cut and the words name the block.
The first halving took place at block 210,000 in November 2012. A halving cuts the reward miners receive for each new block in half, and this one reduced it from 50 BTC to 25 BTC. The cut is tied to a block number rather than a date on the calendar. The next halving is expected around April 2028, and this shirt simply pairs the first cut with the block number that started it all.
It works at a history class, a bitcoin meetup or any table where someone still debates the 2012 cut. Everyone else sees a pair of scissors and a number, which is a fun way to make a case for a shirt that is really about splitting a reward in half.
Questions
About this design
What exactly is a bitcoin halving?
A halving is a scheduled point where the reward for each new block drops by half. The first one happened at block 210,000 in November 2012, when the reward went from 50 BTC to 25 BTC. The reduction is part of Bitcoin's built-in rules, so it happens on its own once the block number is reached.
When is the next halving expected?
It is expected around April 2028, at block 1,050,000. Expected is the right word, because the timing depends on how quickly new blocks arrive, and no exact date can be promised. The shirt does not predict what the price will do afterward, and nothing on it is financial advice.
Is the scissors design tied to any company?
No. It is an independent outline drawing of a pair of scissors, with no logo and no brand name. The words name the event directly, Halving 1 and block 210,000, so the design needs no explanation beyond the numbers. No company or person is connected to or endorses the shirt.
