🔶 Bitcoin Story Series – Part 5
📌 Bitcoin Halving – Why It’s a Big Deal
Every 210,000 blocks (roughly every 4 years), something special happens in the Bitcoin world — it’s called a Halving.
💡 What is it?
The block reward for miners is cut in half.
In 2009: 50 BTC per block
2012: 25 BTC
2016: 12.5 BTC
2020: 6.25 BTC
2024: 3.125 BTC
📈 Why it matters:
Reduces the rate at which new Bitcoins are created
Increases scarcity (like digital gold)
Historically followed by major price growth
Satoshi designed this so Bitcoin would stay limited — only 21 million BTC will ever exist.
Halving keeps Bitcoin deflationary and valuable over time.
