❗️ The fourth Bitcoin halving occurred
🌐 On April 20, the fourth Bitcoin halving took place at block 840,000. The block reward was reduced from 6.25 to 3.125 $BTC. The block was mined by the mining pool ViaBTC.
🔍 A significant portion of the requests for block 840,000 came from fans of memecoins and NFTs, who competed to create tokens and signatures in this block using the Runes protocol.
💼 3,050 transactions were included in the "halving block," meaning that the average user paid just under $800 in transaction fees.
🔋 Additionally, some users paid fees of 1, 2, and even 7 $BTC to be included in the historic 840,000 block, allowing miners to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars. 👀
😎 The reduction in rewards for miners is expected to positively influence the price of the leading cryptocurrency, especially if ETF funds continue to buy $BTC at the same rate. 😁
