Important points to consider for the 2024 Halving:

The Bitcoin halving is an event that occurs every four years, in which the reward that miners receive for validating transactions is halved. This has an impact on the supply and demand of the cryptocurrency, as well as its price and security. Some of the most important points to consider for the Bitcoin halving are:

- The next halving is scheduled for 2024, at block 840,000¹. The reward is estimated to go from 6.25 bitcoins per block to 3.125 bitcoins per block².

- The halving aims to keep bitcoin a scarce and inflation-resistant resource, limiting its total issuance to 21 million units³. Currently, there are more than 19.4 million bitcoins in circulation⁴, which means that there is less than 8% left to be mined.

- Halvings usually have a positive effect on the price of Bitcoin, as they reduce selling pressure from miners and increase the scarcity of the currency. However, the market is also influenced by other factors, such as demand, competition, regulation and innovation. Therefore, it is not possible to predict with certainty how Bitcoin will react to the halving.

- Halvings also affect network security, as they reduce miners' incentives to keep the system running. This could lead to a decrease in the computing power dedicated to Bitcoin, which would increase the risk of 51% attacks. However, Bitcoin has difficulty adjustment mechanisms that allow it to balance mining profitability and network security.
