Back to collectionA Hawkish Hearing, a More Anxious Chat
The development network was still moving toward its March feature freeze, while the community watched the market. Powell's congressional testimony struck a hawkish tone, and BTC fell back to USD 22,000. The price decline added anxiety to the community, but it did not itself change the team's development schedule.

The development network was still moving toward its March feature freeze, while the community watched the market. BTC had recently moved back and forth near USD 25,000. The Night Watchman knew that a sharp drop could make people treat engineering progress and price as the same story.
Powell's congressional testimony struck a hawkish tone, and BTC fell back to USD 22,000. In Discord, someone asked whether every expectation should now be pushed back. The Night Watchman made no market prediction. He brought the conversation to immediate questions: which development-network functions still needed checking, and who would answer players' concerns?
The price decline added anxiety to the community, but it did not itself change the team's development schedule. The Night Watchman planned to sort market talk from concrete questions so that requests needing an answer would not disappear in the chat. No one there could say where the market would go next.
