rehabilitated villain mark winters would be so great in season 3. make that man do community service and absolutely fucking hate it. he should be reading books at daycares or dressing up as the easter bunny or some shit. make him attend bake sales with tide standing over his shoulder so he doesn’t say “fuck” to the 80yo grandmas. he should be really invested in bingo at the nursing homes but pretending that he hates it

WARNINGS: grief, insomnnia, this is written horribly at the presente tense but I thought I'd try.

a distraction can cost a devil hunter their own life.

aki knows.

you should know it, and yet aki can tell that your movements have slowed down comprehensively and your reflexes aren't as sharp as the job requires; he might have wondered why you were so distracted but the answer came quick and sharp with just a look at your face: heavy undereye bags, zoned out eyes and a slight teary effect to them.

obviously, you don't seem to recount when was the last time you slept peacefully.

when confronted by a playful himeno, you reply that it's simply an aftereffect of some neighbors waking you up earlier than usual due to maintenance works, but none in the squad believes it as you have lost your partner a few weeks ago and the signs of mourning are evident in your face.

nightmares are keeping you up, a condition that aki knows all too well. yet, he finds it difficult to properly comfort you: you aren't that close, and especially, an air of danger gets him whenever involvement with you - his pretty colleague - is brought up.

it feels like he's toeing a line he shouldn't cross.

and yet, his concern doesn't diminish as you come into work tired by the day till you eventually snap.

he shouldn't have kept you waiting that day, especially as you had been working overtime but the dudes of division two had been eager to catch up and he had ended up leaving you steaming in his office for an half an hour.

when he went to open the door with an apology already on his mouth, he caught the sight of you slumped, head against the desk and hands beneath it to cushion it comfortably.

he guessed that you might have thought of adjusting your position more comfortably to plop your head down in relaxation while waiting for him, just to close your eyes and start what must be the first relaxing nap in a long time.

aki is quick to adjust himself so that he doesn't make too much noise, gently closing the door behind him with the silliest 'click', as not to have you exposed to his colleagues - the few that remains, anyway - both as to give you a bit of privacy and both as he doesn't want to share such an adorable sight with anybody.

you don't drool but sleep with your mouth lightly opened and your nose emits a soft grunt, albeit not yet snoring, probably due to the position. your shoulders are slumped and lightly raised with gentle breathing. something is fascinating in watching a person sleep, aki thinks, immediately feeling like a huge pervert as he comes behind you and with a gentle shake of your arm, he's quick to wake you up.

it isn't a choice that he went with willingly: he doesn't think that it's fair for him to interrupt the first wink of sleep that you got in a long time, but at the same time you have to go back home and sleep in a better place, especially as you don't live nearby. he wouldn't want for you to fall asleep again in the subway.

you wake up with a stilted startle, at first slowly as the stilling of your shoulder is a sign that undoubtedly you have risen, before turning like a whip your head to the hand on your shoulder and then swiftly to aki's face. comforted by the familiar sight, your cheeks immediately becomes heated enough that aki can feel the warmth coming from them.

«I... wasn't... I...».

«sorry for having kept you waiting» he says professionally, walking around his desk to move in front of you, not yet seating himself and not yet looking at you to give you the time to collect yourself, which you do by gently closing your mouth and straightening your slumped posture «... and please... if anything, I am glad my office was comfortable enough».

he tries not to let the note of obvious pride linger in his tone; you chose his place - out of every other office in the public safety department - to fall asleep as you haven't gotten a single wink of sleep. it feels like there's something lingering although aki quickly shuts it down again with his careful ease.

«yeah, I...» the apology is on your tongue and you hold it back by simply shifting your gaze from the desk to your lap. a pity as aki has always been so fond of your pretty eyes. «... either way, I have the reports you asked and I'd like to get through them as they might be interesting for...».

the following half an hour is an uncomfortable discussion about tactics while aki's eyes will sometimes linger - when you can't notice it - on the slight rumple of your skin due to being pushed on his desk; is it creepy he thinks it's the closest thing to a mark of him you'd ever have?

«... and that's all» he finishes the quick discussion, as you nod and go to raise up quickly; you do seem a bit more relaxed and aki, himself, noticed the slight slump of your shoulders, that tend to be more tense «... I mean that'd be all if you don't have...».

«at ease» he jokes, obtaining the opposite effect that you tense up, before releasing the slight tension slowly «... I also well, I wanted to ask whether there was anything in this period that...».

as if expecting this question - it must be the one that everybody seems to be asking you as of lately, for sure - your eyes lightly roll in an unamused expression, before answering mechanically:

«it's fine, it's just some lack of sleep. have been waking up much earlier on the weekends than I'd like...».

«sorry to hear that» something in aki's chest pushes forward as he wonders whether he could ask you something further, wether he could comfort you but there's a clear line of demarkation about what he can and what he can't ask you, with the latter being a longer list than the former one «... you could take the day off, if you need it...».

«that'd be nice but in the end of it all,it's my house that's the problem» you are deflecting although there's a partial truth in what you say: giving you a day, a week or a month off wouldn't change the fact that you are still mourning the death of your buddy.

maybe your own self is also mourning the life that you signed away as a devil hunter.

aki should tell you that the civilian sector would be the best fit for you, but as somebody who is pretty vocal about his involvement with public safety, he doesn't think that he has the right to tell you what to do; it'd make a hypocrite out of him.

«alright» let them go, aki, or the next person they'll lose sleep on, it'll be you.

you nod and go to be dismissed before stalling and something in aki is hopeful for once, although your question is anything but what he expects.

«do you... do you use an air freshener or specific perfume for this office?» aki's wide eyes are enough to get you to again feel embarrassed as you rushedly explain «I... I don't know why but this place... it smells... comforting to me».

you could have gone with any other adjective - good, fresh or exotic - but you stuck with 'comforting' and although aki should know better, he feels his heart skip a beat.

«I am... well, I am not sure» he does know that the cleaning ladies have left a few air freshener and diffusers throughout the time, mostly to kill the stink of the cigarettes stress-smoked inside but he can't quite place the clear smell «... maybe you could ask the cleaning ladies? maybe they know what they use in the offices to avoid the whole department stinking like a chimney».

you laugh. you genuinely laugh at his harsh comment, before nodding and with a swift 'I'll do, thanks' you are off, leaving aki to think whether you'll sleep alright tonight, although it isn't any of his business; you are part of his squad and that's it.

and if he stops by the cleaning ladies as he moves out of his office - after having worked overtime - to ask what they use to help his office stink less, he's doing it as a good squad leader.

he's being a good squad ladder even when he leaves a bottle of the specific essential oil on your desk the following day - he didn't wake up early and find a kombini just for it - arriving ahead of you and wondering whether you slept alright.

whether it's the perfume that smelled comfortingly or the fact that you were in his office.

Theyre so cute

I love them sm

It’s actually a matter of market factors. We know that some people will pay top dollar for sperm to become pregnant. So, naturally, any forces in the market that devalue sperm are harmful to the cost index. All these women who want abortions are in fact bringing down the price of sperm.

This normally wouldn’t be an issue, but I just put 500k into Jizzcoin and I really wanna see it go places. HODL!

Bitcoin’s Dwindling Supply: The Halving Mechanism and Its Impact on Scarcity

Bitcoin is more than just a digital currency—it’s a groundbreaking financial system built around a unique feature: its limited supply. Unlike fiat currencies that can be printed endlessly, Bitcoin’s supply is capped at 21 million BTC. This scarcity is driven by Bitcoin's halving mechanism, a process that cuts the block rewards for miners in half approximately every four years. With each halving, the supply of new Bitcoin entering circulation decreases, creating a dynamic of growing demand and shrinking supply.

What is the Halving Mechanism?

The halving mechanism is embedded in Bitcoin's code and is designed to happen after every 210,000 blocks are mined, roughly every four years. This mechanism ensures that over time, fewer and fewer Bitcoin are produced, leading to increased scarcity. When Bitcoin was first launched in 2009, the reward for mining a block was 50 BTC. Since then, the block reward has been halved multiple times:

2012: The reward dropped to 25 BTC.

2016: It was halved again to 12.5 BTC.

2020: The reward shrunk to 6.25 BTC.

2024: Following the most recent halving, the block reward now stands at 3.125 BTC.

How the Halving Reduces Daily Bitcoin Supply

The halving mechanism significantly impacts the number of Bitcoin mined each day. In the beginning, with 50 BTC rewarded per block, approximately 7,200 BTC were mined daily. After each halving, this number dropped:

2012: About 3,600 BTC were mined daily.

2020: Roughly 900 BTC were mined per day.

2024: Currently, with a block reward of 3.125 BTC, only 450 BTC are mined daily.

As the block reward continues to shrink, the daily Bitcoin production will become even smaller. By 2036, 99% of all Bitcoin will have been mined, leaving only 1% of Bitcoin to be mined over the following century. This drastic reduction in new supply is one of the most important aspects of Bitcoin’s scarcity and long-term value.

The Economic Impact of Bitcoin’s Scarcity

Bitcoin's design ensures that its supply will only become scarcer over time, making it more valuable. Much like precious commodities such as gold, the limited availability of Bitcoin positions it as a deflationary asset—one whose value increases as supply tightens and demand rises. Each halving intensifies this dynamic, putting upward pressure on Bitcoin's price as fewer coins are available for purchase or use.

With the next halving scheduled for 2028, Bitcoin’s daily production will fall to 225 BTC per day. By the time the final Bitcoin is mined, around the year 2140, the block reward will be reduced to just one satoshi—the smallest unit of Bitcoin, equivalent to 0.00000001 BTC. At this point, miners will no longer receive new Bitcoin as rewards, but they will be compensated with transaction fees to continue securing the network.

The Future of Bitcoin’s Supply: What Happens After 99% is Mined?

By the year 2036, we will have reached a major milestone—99% of all Bitcoin will have been mined. As we approach this point, the effects of Bitcoin's diminishing supply will become increasingly apparent. As supply decreases, demand is expected to grow, especially as more institutional investors and governments begin to adopt Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

After 2036, only 1% of Bitcoin will remain to be mined, with rewards decreasing at an exponential rate after each subsequent halving. As we move closer to the final halving and the ultimate limit of 21 million BTC, Bitcoin’s value as a scarce, deflationary asset will likely continue to grow, making it a critical store of value for individuals, institutions, and possibly even nation-states.

Bitcoin’s Halving and Its Role in Financial Sovereignty

The halving mechanism is more than just a technical feature—it is the foundation of Bitcoin's scarcity, which gives it its revolutionary potential. With fiat currencies facing the constant threat of inflation due to excessive money printing, Bitcoin stands out as a deflationary alternative that cannot be devalued by any central authority. Its predictable supply schedule makes it a safe haven for those seeking financial sovereignty and protection against inflationary pressures.

As Bitcoin’s supply dwindles, its role in the global financial system will only become more prominent. The halving mechanism ensures that Bitcoin remains scarce, creating a unique economic environment where supply and demand dynamics continuously drive its value higher.

Conclusion: The Power of Bitcoin’s Scarcity

Bitcoin’s halving mechanism is a crucial factor in its long-term success as a deflationary, scarce asset. Each halving reduces the number of new Bitcoin introduced into circulation, making the asset more valuable over time. As we move closer to the year 2036, when 99% of all Bitcoin will have been mined, the scarcity narrative will become even more pronounced. With the final reward being just one satoshi, Bitcoin’s hard cap of 21 million BTC guarantees its place as one of the most scarce and valuable financial assets in the world.

In a world of ever-expanding fiat currencies and government-controlled financial systems, Bitcoin offers a new way forward—a scarce, decentralized, and deflationary asset that empowers individuals with true financial sovereignty.
