Explanation of Bitcoin halving.
Every time a Bitcoin block is mined, the miner receives a reward for the block. Currently, this reward is 3.125 BTC per block.
But every four years, the reward is halved — this process is known as halving.
This built-in mechanism ensures scarcity, controls inflation, and increases the value of Bitcoin over time.
Timeline of Bitcoin halving:
• 2009: 50 BTC
• 2012: 25 BTC
• 2016: 12.5 BTC
• 2020: 6.25 BTC
• 2024: 3.125 BTC (now)
• 2028: 1.5625 BTC
• 2032: 0.78125 BTC
• 2036: 0.390625 BTC
• 2040: 0.1953125 BTC
• 2044: 0.09765625 BTC
• 2048: 0.04882813 BTC
• 2052: 0.02441406 BTC
• 2056: 0.01220703 BTC
• 2060: 0.00610352 BTC
• 2064: 0.00305176 BTC
• 2068: 0.00152588 BTC
• 2072: 0.00076294 BTC
• 2076: 0.00038147 BTC
• 2080: 0.00019073 BTC
• 2084: 0.00009537 BTC
• 2088: 0.00004768 BTC
• 2092: 0.00002384 BTC
• 2096: 0.00001192 BTC
• 2100: 0.00000596 BTC
• 2104–2140: fractions continue to decrease until the last BTC is mined in 2140.
After that, no new Bitcoins will be mined.
And here’s the catch:
Even considering all this history, you are still late.
Most people do not understand Bitcoin. Most have not even started.
The future is still being written, and scarcity is just beginning to matter.
Think in the long term.
