Why Bitcoin Halving Matters: What Every New Trader Should Know
Bitcoin doesn’t just move randomly — it follows a cycle, and one of the biggest events in that cycle is called the halving. It happens roughly every 4 years, and when it does, it changes everything.
So, what is it?
Bitcoin halving cuts the reward that miners receive for validating transactions in half. This means fewer Bitcoins are created, making it more scarce — and in most cases, scarcity leads to price increases.
Historically, halving events have been followed by massive bull runs:
After 2012 halving: BTC went from $12 to over $1,000.
After 2016 halving: BTC soared from $650 to nearly $20,000.
After 2020 halving: BTC reached over $60,000.
Now, with the 2024 halving just passed, many traders are watching closely for the next big move.
