$BTC Why has BTC and all other cryptocurrencies fallen? 📉
You might think it's just a regular drop, like when BTC couldn't break its resistance point. 🤔
But you're mistaken! The market's downturn is due to the Pre BTC Halving Effect… 💥

I know it's puzzling. Let me clarify.. 🤔
How Bitcoin really operates? 🤖
Well, Bitcoin didn't begin like current ETH-based coins where developers mint as many coins as they want and start airdropping. 🔨
BTC was programmed so that if you want BTC, you have to mine it. Even Bitcoin's founder mined Bitcoin and stored it in his wallet. 💼
The more blocks in the network, the more complex the mining process becomes. Basically, miners confirm all transactions. ⛏️
If you haven't read my post on Halving, I'd recommend you go and read all my posts. I use the simplest words to explain. 📚
The issue is, the founder knew that as technology evolves, mining will become easier. So more people will start mining Bitcoin, increasing market supply dramatically. 💡
So he decided to write a function that gradually halves rewards. Eventually, a point will come when the total supply will decrease instead of increase. And that point is 21 million Bitcoin, the max supply of Bitcoin in its lifetime. 🔢
