BTC price on 2023-12-31 is lower than at the start of H2 2023 (~2023-07-01).

Fully resolvable. Endpoint comparison: 2023-12-31 (~$42,255) > 2023-07-01 (~$30,597). BTC ended H2 2023 HIGHER, not lower — the criterion's stated condition (year-end below start-of-H2) did NOT occur. Recording the factual endpoints only; outcome value/scoring left to the later stage.
