What is Bitcoin Halving

Bitcoin halving occurs once every four years.
This is when the future supply of Bitcoin gets cut in half.
With this feature, the total supply of new Bitcoin into the crypto market will continue to fall.
As the years go by, this will protect Bitcoin from inflation while ensuring Bitcoin value and price continue going up.
To better understand Bitcoin halving, how new Bitcoins are created and added to the crypto market, we will be explaining the term “Bitcoin Mining” and how it works.

How To Take Advantage Of The Halving?

There are multiple ways to take advantage of the coming Bitcoin halving but the best strategy to use is the buy and hold strategy.
With this strategy, you buy and store Bitcoin in your wallet address in anticipation of a coming price surge after the halving process is completed.
Crypto traders who took advantage of this halving in the past by accumulating Bitcoin have all seen more than 500% return on their investment after every halving.
However past gains do not guarantee future returns

Bitcoin Zero Inflation

Now, it’s impossible to know what the price of Bitcoin will be in the future, but let’s just agree that we should rather buy Bitcoin today than to wait for the inflation to hit 0%.

Actually, the fact that the Bitcoin inflation will reach 0% makes Bitcoin the most scarce asset on the planet. There is nothing else in the world that will have such an absolute limited supply.

Bitcoin Halving History

On the 3rd of January 2009, the bitcoin network came into existence with Satoshi Nakamoto mining the genesis block of bitcoin (block number 0),
which had a reward of 50 bitcoins. In these 13 years of Bitcoin history, we’ve only seen 3 Bitcoin halvings so far.

No one knows why Satoshi Nakamoto chose the 21 million Bitcoins limit or why the inflation is cut in half every four years.
Logically, it could as well have been 134 million in total Bitcoins and a halving every 10 years.
Nevertheless, the Bitcoin inflation keeps getting cut in half every four years and this will continue approximately until the year 2144.
