BITCOIN HALVING

Half the Bitcoin, double the benefits

Every crypto-investor has the Bitcoin Halving marked on their calendars. The next event is expected to take place in April 2024.

Past performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future results.

BITCOIN HALVING

The Halving success formula:

Speculation, increased trading volumes and high volatility

Three Halvings have already taken place since Satoshi Nakamoto produced the Bitcoin genesis block, and all of them have been surrounded by enormous speculation, leading to a sharp increase in trading volumes, high volatility and a massive soar in Bitcoin’s price.

ABOUT HALVING

What is Bitcoin Halving?

When Bitcoin creator(s), Satoshi Nakamoto, produced the Bitcoin genesis block back in 2009, they instituted halving events every 210’000 blocks until the number of Bitcoin in circulation reaches its limit, at 21 million. This event, which is coded into Bitcoin’s system and takes place approximately every 4 years, automatically reduces the amount of newly created Bitcoin entering circulation.
