Has anyone else noticed that the term “halving” seems to be more popular than the term “halvening” this time?

I remember in past years the term halvening was commonly used, what caused this change?

It’s not a big deal at all, just thought it was a strange shift and couldn’t put my finger on the reason.

What term to use? Halving or Halvening? Term history https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5459106.0

halvening is moronic

fwiw, i do like halving better, it’s cleaner… why did we put up with halvening for so long?

I survived 4 times but never said "halvening". idk from where that stupid term come from.

halvening is like saying lightening... only shitcoiners said that.

lmao never heard anyone use lightening before 😂

oh no? are many shitcoiners on SN using that term. I think I made some screenshots too. They never learn or they are doing it on purpose.

Personally I never liked halvening just sounds dumb. HODL caught on because it was a funny, drunken mistake, but halvening sounds forced.

Idk but I'm glad. "Halvening" and "hodl" sound like shitcoiner words imo

😂

Wow how times have changed. This is why the halving is fun! Cool to look back in time to see how much has changed!

I've always thought of "halvening" as a mostly tongue-in-cheek portmanteau of "halving" and "happening".

Halvening reeks of flippening which was some pretty low grade shitcoining.
