The second emissions halving had just occurred, and the new threshold for the Silver reward tier had been announced. While tending his node, the Night Watchman faced a recurring question in the group: what should people watch after the halving?
The halving brought no price rally, while talk of White House tariffs suddenly grew more urgent. When someone pressed him on whether to change their staking plans, he separated the halving, the pool parameters yet to take effect, and the wider market news. He then decided to check his own pool's setup later.
Discussion that had centered on emissions was interrupted by market risk. The Night Watchman also saw that keeping his node running and deciding whether to stay in the same pool required separate decisions. He planned to find out whom the higher threshold would affect; no one yet knew how the price would respond.
