Halving, explained simply
When the new bitcoins paid to miners are cut in half.
Every 210,000 blocks - about four years - the reward for mining a Bitcoin block halves. In 2024 it fell from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC.
Fewer new coins means less fresh supply. Past halvings came before big rises, but past patterns are no promise.
