Background: Bitcoin's halving had arrived, filling social feeds with talk of cycles. Today: Bitcoin completed its fourth halving, and posts declaring the cycle's midpoint filled his feed. Impact and next steps: His remark brought the cycle talk back to questions the community could examine: how Xai's emissions would change and what node operators and pool participants might receive.

Background: Bitcoin's halving had arrived, filling social feeds with talk of cycles. The Xai community had its own emissions schedule. As a node operator, the Night Watchman was more concerned with how its next change might affect everyday rewards.
Today: Bitcoin completed its fourth halving, and posts declaring the cycle's midpoint filled his feed. XAI closed at USD 0.80, already heading toward a halving of its price from the start of the month. In his daily report, the Night Watchman wrote: “Bitcoin's halving is a narrative; ours is an emissions schedule. Next month, it will be our turn.” When a group member tried to draw both as one price trajectory, he pointed them to the emissions rules first.
Impact and next steps: His remark brought the cycle talk back to questions the community could examine: how Xai's emissions would change and what node operators and pool participants might receive. He planned to keep collecting the rules and people's questions. Next month's change had yet to happen, and today's closing price could not answer those questions.
