What Is a Bitcoin Halving? | River Learn - Bitcoin Mining

Learn about the bitcoin halving, which cuts the mining reward in half every 210,000 blocks. What's its impact and when will the next one occur?

river.com

• Every 210,000 blocks or roughly 4 years, the amount of new bitcoin miners can mint per block is cut in half.
• From 2009-2013, 50 BTC were minted per block. After 34 halvings, the total supply of Bitcoin will cease growing and rest at just below 21 million BTC.
• Block rewards are critical to incentivizing miners in the early years, but as the block reward shrinks in size, miners will need to draw revenue from transaction fees.
• Miners usually exert sell pressure on the market by selling the block rewards to cover their high operating costs. When these rewards are cut in half, sell pressure may also decrease, yielding a price rise.

Isn’t it just my luck that I have already committed to similarly interesting but not quite as cool things like watching grass grow and watching paint dry.

Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme created to collapse the entire economy to establish a fascist world order. I learned this from a flyer distributed today by a very committed believer.

I bought the ET dip earlier this week, and it’s up about 5% since I bought. Not Bitcoin money, but my slow money is gaining steam.
