Halving
The event every four years when Bitcoin’s mining reward is cut in half, making new coins rarer.
Halving is coded into Bitcoin’s rules to control inflation and make it more like digital gold. The next one is expected in 2028. Every halving reduces the pace at which new Bitcoin enters circulation.
Traders and long-term holders watch halvings closely because they often mark the start of new bull cycles.
It’s like the pizza at a party suddenly being sliced into smaller pieces — same pizza, but everyone gets less per slice.
Real world: In 2024 the Bitcoin halving cut the block reward from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. Historically, each halving has been followed by big price rallies because supply growth slowed while demand kept growing.
💡 Halving is Bitcoin’s built-in scarcity machine — fewer new coins, same or growing demand usually equals higher price over time.
