The Bitcoin Halving is a significant event in the cryptocurrency world where the rate of new Bitcoin creation is halved. This occurs roughly every four years, specifically when every 210,000 blocks are processed on the Bitcoin blockchain.
Bitcoin's total supply is capped at 21 million, once the maximum supply is reached, no more BTC will ever be produced. Bitcoin is often likened to 'digital gold,' highlighting its limited availability similar to that of precious metals. Post-halving, newly produced Bitcoins become increasingly scarce — similar to gold mining where finding new deposits becomes more challenging over time.
For Bitcoin holders, no action is required on your part, as it doesn't directly affect the BTC in your wallet or CoinSpot account. The Halving increases the scarcity of newly produced Bitcoin within the cryptocurrency ecosystem.
Bitcoin Halving often leads to speculation and increased interest, potentially affecting the price. Historically, it has been observed that the price fluctuates post-halving, although this is influenced by various market factors and past performance does not guarantee future results.
