Never miss a bitcoin holiday, Block Screen just added a widget via bitcoin.holiday from @Coinkite
Backstory...
Then: Built this bitcoin holiday widget in 2022, made tiny contributions to Coinkite’s repo prepping for releasing the widget, but then I wasn’t sure there were enough holidays yet to make the Block Screen widget enjoyable enough so I held off on releasing the widget.
Now: They just added a couple hundred more historical events so now there are definitely enough holidays, and the Block Screen widget is now released.

Bitcoin was ~$25K the last time I updated Block Screen screenshots that showed the price, so it was time to update them.

Interesting. 

The bitcoin halving is in 1 month, if you haven’t downloaded Block Screen yet, now is the time to do it… here’s some screenshots from folks recently to check out how they use it.
Track the halving countdown on your iPhone (Lock Screen, Home Screen), Watch, iPad, Mac. And look out for a surprise in the iOS app on Block 839,999 and 840,000.
Personalize and customize Block Screen too; choose any colors or use pre-defined color schemes (I see Real Bedford color scheme being used the most out in the wild!), use multiple different fiat-to-sats/price currency comparisons, and more.
Thanks to
