what is Bitcoin halving
Incase this is your first time coming across Bitcoin halving here's a brief explanation based on my research, Bitcoin miners solve complex problems to add a newblock to the blockchain, as a result they earn new bitcoins.
Note this reward is cut into half every 4 years now that's what we call halving
That being said let's go into the main topic
Why halving still matters in 2025,
+ Now in 2024, the fourth halving took place, half way through 2025.....the questions people keep asking is did it really matter? Is the price still affected??
the answer is yes .....but the reason is down below 👇
Break Downs
In Bitcoin halving, the miner receives 50% less for validating transactions
- 2009- 50 BTC per block
- 2012- 25 BTC
- 2016- 12.5 BTC
- 2020- 6.25 BTC
- 2024- 3.125 BTC
From my research, this is called scarcity mechanism, which is designed to control Inflation and imitate the way gold is harder to mine over time which insane.
Now down to the second part of the topic
why it still matters in 2025
- Supply shock is still playing out:
After halving is complete, is less and less percentage of BTC entering the market.
Then demands tend to remain the same(or increasing), the supply crunch tends to elevate prices often after several months.
- Investor Sentiment Shifts
Historically, halvings have marked the beginning of major bull runs:
2012 & 2013: 10x increase
2016 & 2017: 20x increase
2020 & 2021: 6x increase
2024 & ? (2025 may still be the "catch-up" year) as they say
The 2024 halving may be behind us, but the ripple effects are not. In 2025, we are likely still in the middle of a long-term shift. Don’t let short-term noise make you miss the bigger picture.
Bitcoin halvings are built to shape the future — and 2025 is still part of that future.✅
