Reminder of what Bitcoin Halving is
Before diving into the Santorini Halving Party festivities, it is important to understand the importance of halving and what it entails. Bitcoin operates under a deflationary monetary policy. Approximately every four years, the number of new Bitcoins generated by mining is cut in half. This event, known as a halving, plays a crucial role in the issuance of bitcoin and therefore also influences its value. The next halving is expected to take place in April 2024. While at the launch of bitcoin the rewards were 50 BTC (yes!), we went to 25 BTC in 2012, to 12,5 BTC in 2016, to 6,25 .2020 BTC in 3,125 and here we are preparing to increase to 2014 BTC in XNUMX.
Over time, the halving have become opportune times for Bitcoin enthusiasts to come together and celebrate this milestone.
