Every four years there is an event that conditions the entire Bitcoin ecosystem. It is a crucial moment for miners, as the number of bitcoins mined is reduced by half. It is known as the 'Bitcoin halving' and is an event intrinsic to the cryptocurrency itself that has already occurred in 2012, 2016 and 2020. The next one will be in 2024. And there is a lot of uncertainty about what will happen from that moment on.
Dividing the benefits of mining into two. The 'halving', as its name suggests, divides by two the amount of bitcoins that are mined by validating transactions. The next event is scheduled for April 2024 and, as described by Fortune, miners will see their profits greatly reduced.
If currently about 6.25 BTC are obtained for each block, which is equivalent to about 172,600 euros, we will now get 3.125 BTC per block, about 86,300 euros. This is with the current change. It is true that the 'halving' has traditionally meant significant increases in the value of Bitcoin itself, but it is still a drastic decrease in profits for miners.
