The previous night, the team had been fixing the two medium-severity issues found in the Iron Pigeons contract audit; the community was also expecting its weekly voice chat. The wider situation had already strained the market. People at the studio had to absorb the news outside while deciding which scheduled work they could responsibly continue.
War broke out between Russia and Ukraine. BTC fell to around USD 34,500 at one point, then climbed back above USD 38,000 that evening. War, interest-rate hikes, and a bear market filled industry chats with sweeping narratives. In the studio chat, the sole pinned line read, “Stick to the schedule.” It did not dispel anyone's fear; it gave them a reason to check what they could still finish. The weekly community voice chat opened as planned in the evening. The host acknowledged how hard it was to focus that day, then returned to known project progress and questions still awaiting answers.
Earlier, the office had barely discussed prices. Now even its regular voice chat had to take place amid news of war. The team kept its connection with the community, though a meeting could not settle anyone's fear. “Stick to the schedule” was a provisional way to work: the contract fixes still needed review, spring preparations still had to be weighed against available people, and no one yet knew how the external crisis would affect either.
