Bitcoin’s biggest innovation is and always has been provable, digital scarcity. It’s the reason there will never be another Bitcoin and why there will only ever be 21 million BTC. Period.
The mechanism by which Bitcoin’s digital scarcity is created is the block reward halving. Every 210,000 blocks, the amount of bitcoin that is awarded to miners for confirming transactions gets cut in half, until sometime around the year 2140 when that amount will become zero. The Halving creates a moment of true supply shock — something incredibly unique and novel that doesn’t exist in any traditional currencies.
We’re only days away from block 630,000; the third block reward halving. This event is believed to be one of the biggest drivers of bitcoin’s price, and it directly affects miners’ incentives. It has also only happened twice before, so with such a drastic jolt to the system, it’s really hard to know exactly what to expect afterward.
In the past two halvings, we’ve seen narratives around a “mining death spiral” spring up as people speculate that all miners will have their incentives evaporate and turn their machines off. Instead, we’ve seen wild bull markets (from $12.20 to $1,200 after the first halving; $650 to $20,000 after the second halving) which have brought major growth in the adoption of Bitcoin.
With so many new economic factors swirling around the world today, this Halving couldn’t come at a more interesting time. Even though there were two before, this Halving has the feel of something truly unprecedented.
So let’s find out what happens together! Bitcoin Magazine is excited to announce that we will be hosting a free, 21-hour live stream leading up to and going throughout Bitcoin’s third Halving! Because nobody knows exactly when the Halving will be, you’ll need to stay up to date with us on the details: BitcoinHalving.com
Come learn about Bitcoin and celebrate the halving with us and some of our closest friends (at a safe social distance) as we ring in the new cycle! It’s a “can’t miss” event!
