Bitcoin’s Fourth Halving May Unleash the ‘Mother of All Reorgs,’ Ordiscan Founder Predicts

Bitcoin's Fourth Halving May Unleash the 'Mother of All Reorgs,' Ordiscan Founder Predicts

The crypto community is abuzz with anticipation for the upcoming Bitcoin network halving event, projected to occur on or around April 20, 2024. This event is sparking widespread speculation about its distinct importance. As the fourth Bitcoin halving nears, a theory of a potential major blockchain reorganization, fueled by the extraordinary worth of the halving block, is seizing the attention of crypto enthusiasts.

Ordiscan Founder Says Bitcoin’s Next Halving May Trigger Unprecedented Reorg

The upcoming Bitcoin network’s reward halving is not just a routine milestone. With less than 13,000 blocks left until the halving, occurring at block height 840,000, this event might mark a historic turning point for the protocol. Tristan, the founder of Ordiscan.com, emphasizes the unusual nature of this halving in a blog post called “The Next Bitcoin Halving Will be Reorged.”

In the blog post, the author claims that Bitcoin block 840,000 is predicted to have the most valuable block reward in Bitcoin’s history, far surpassing previous records. This significance is attributed to the impact of Casey Rodamor’s Ordinals protocol, which has created a substantial Miner Extractable Value (MEV) opportunity.

Rodamor’s innovative Ordinals theory involves assigning serial numbers to individual satoshis, making them non-fungible and varying in value. For instance, a satoshi involved in a historically important transaction could be deemed more valuable. This theory has gained traction among bitcoin collectors and enthusiasts, indicating a shift in how BTC’s inherent value is perceived.

The halving block is set to include an ‘Epic sat’, a type of satoshi created once every halving, with only three in existence so far. Its rarity and significance could assign it a market value upwards of 1 million dollars, or approximately 25 BTC, Tristan details. The Ordiscan founder explains that this valuation not only reflects its rarity but also the cultural and historical significance imbued within these rare assets.

Furthermore, the halving event coincides with the launch of the Runes protocol, another of Rodamor’s creations. This new token standard is expected to further revolutionize the Bitcoin blockchain, starting from block 840,000. The anticipation and speculation around the first Rune token are immense, given its potential market impact and historical significance as a pioneering digital asset in the evolving Bitcoin ecosystem.

The Ordiscan founder states:

As one would expect, we’ve already started to see multiple teams on X market their upcoming token as ‘The First Rune.’

However, this unprecedented valuation of block 840,000 raises concerns about potential reorganizations of the Bitcoin blockchain. Tristan speculates, “So it seems almost inevitable to me that we’ll see the mother of all reorgs on Bitcoin this year.” This statement underscores the significant financial incentive for miners to deviate from standard practices, potentially leading to a major reorganization event in the pursuit of this highly valuable block.

“While I don’t know exactly how it will play out, one thing we know is that it will certainly be interesting, and eventually the dust will settle and new blocks will keep coming in as normal,” the author adds.

The upcoming Bitcoin halving is more than a mere procedural event; it’s always been a testament to the evolving nature of Bitcoin protocol and its community. The introduction of unique concepts like the Ordinals theory and the Runes protocol, combined with the potential for a significant blockchain reorganization, highlights a pivotal moment in Bitcoin’s history. As the community braces for these changes, it remains to be seen how these developments will shape the future of Bitcoin.
