You know what happens when something's rare, right?

From 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC

Imagine being in a position where your salary always decreases. At first glance, it sounds like a nightmare, but that's the reality for Bitcoin miners...

We're about one week away from the next Bitcoin halving, and you might be wondering, "How will this impact crypto and Bitcoin's value?"

It's an intriguing question, but the answer will incorporate standard disclaimer lines: while it's true that past performance doesn't guarantee future results and unknown factors can sway outcomes, the halving event itself is quite exciting from a supply and demand perspective.

Picture this: when a halving takes place, the rate at which new Bitcoins are created is slashed in half. This reduction in the supply growth rate makes Bitcoin scarcer. Consequently, if demand stays steady or increases, the scarcity typically drives the price upwards.

Historical data indicates that it usually takes around 406 days for prices to reach their peak after a halving. But remember, past performance isn't a crystal ball.

Let's take a quick trip down Bitcoin's halving history:

November 2012: Bitcoin's inaugural halving slashed block rewards from 50 BTC to 25 BTC. Within a year, Bitcoin's price skyrocketed by 7,431%.

July 2016: The second halving halved rewards from 25 BTC to 12.5 BTC. A year later, prices surged by 279%.

May 2020: Amidst the global pandemic, the third halving reduced rewards to 6.25 BTC. By May 11, 2021, prices had soared by 539%.
