    Understanding Bitcoin Halving

    Bitcoin halving is one of the most significant events in the cryptocurrency world. Every four years, the reward for mining Bitcoin is cut in half, reducing the rate at which new Bitcoins are created.

    Why Does Halving Matter?

    The halving mechanism is built into Bitcoin's core protocol and serves as a deflationary measure. As the supply of new Bitcoin decreases, the scarcity increases, which has historically led to price appreciation.

    Historical Impact

    • 2012 Halving: BTC went from ~$12 to over $1,000
    • 2016 Halving: BTC went from ~$650 to nearly $20,000
    • 2020 Halving: BTC went from ~$8,500 to over $60,000

    How to Prepare

    1. Study the patterns — Each halving has unique characteristics
    2. Manage risk — Never invest more than you can afford to lose
    3. Diversify — Consider how altcoins perform during these cycles
