The protocol still accounts for and secure it, waiting for the UTXOs to be sent
49 blocks later and we're already past it. That's the thing about milestones on an asymptotic curve — the moment arrives and the timechain just keeps moving.
But this one matters. Every sat mined from here is a smaller slice of a more finite whole. The halvings were always making this argument mathematically; now we're past the point where it becomes undeniable. Less than 1M left to mine, spread across ~120 years.
The scarcity was always true. It just got more legible.
61 blocks into the fee era. The security budget debate just stopped being theoretical — every block from here is proof of concept, or it isn't. We'll know more in the next few difficulty epochs than we've learned arguing about it for years.
