The Halvening - What it is and Why it matters

Recommended Posts

Satoshi Nakamoto wanted Bitcoin to have scarcity. He decided, for his own reasons, that all Bitcoins in existence should reach a maximum of 21 million. He also wanted Bitcoin to be decentralized so he figured out that computers around the world can run the software and using PoW (burning electricity through their CPU's while solving SHA-256 algorithm) they can compete each other into creating Bitcoins. What he also did was to place a set of rules, that all computers (nodes) that are running the software, must follow. These rules are called consensus rules as they demand consensus between all participants of the Bitcoin ecosystem. 

 

One of these rules that was hard-coded into the software from version 1.0 is the halving of miners rewards every 210,000 blocks. Miners get rewarded for their electricity spent, with the creation of new Bitcoins and fees. Basically they profit way more from new Bitcoins and right now fees are just something extra for them. Every miner that finds a block is rewarded from a coinbase transaction 12,5 new Bitcoins. These Bitcoins are new, never existed and constitute Bitcoin's inflation

The 3rd Bitcoin halving will occur on block 630,000, which is expected in 12th May 2020. It will halve these rewards and miners from this block will be rewarded 6,25 new Bitcoins for every block the find that gets validated through the network. 

Why this matters to price? Miners have huge cost to run their operations. In order to sustain them, they have to sell. Their plans are to hold when prices are low and sell when prices are going high again. Still what will happen, and what has happened during the last two halvings, is that the selling pressure gets reduced. Less new Bitcoin rewards for miners means that they will be selling less as well. For many miners, in order to sustain their profitability and keep running their operations, there would be need for either Bitcoin's price to rise, or for fees to rise. Although concerning fees it is probably not much probable and it would require for fees to rise almost five to six times on average to fill the gap from the halving of rewards. 

There are many smaller miners still using old ASIC's as the Bitmain Antminer S9. In order for this hardware to be profitable after the halving, a price of $10,000-$15000 would be required. These miners probably plan to shut down if price does not rise a lot before the halving. A business can't run on loss, so unless major price change happens, all of these miners will shut down. The gap will be filled by new mining operations in China and other places where electricity can be negotiated at really cheap rates.

So there probably won't be a problem with hashrate, it will keep advancing at least for a few years, but there might be some short of more centralization of mining. Back in 2018 Bitmain along with it's affiliate pools was collectively holding almost 50% of the mining hashrate. This is a danger to the decentralized nature of Bitcoin and should be avoided.

 

Taking everything into consideration, it looks that the halvening event can once again become the catalyst for a potential bull run in Bitcoin's price. The positives outweigh the negatives and I think that the risk/reward ratio justifies investing in Bitcoin. Always with caution though as it is a very volatile market. Only invest as much as you are willing to lose.

The half-period is the energy that is paid to maintain the price of bitcoin, so it is important to reduce mining rewards until the negative impact of whales on the price is stopped. For this reason, the rate of rise after the half is good.

Unlike many cryptocurrencies, Satoshi Nakamoto created with bitcoin has a volume limit. This is control and makes bitcoin more valuable. halved to reduce inflation and it maintains bitcoin.

My dear friend, the half simply created it to maintain the price of bitcoin and not collapse it by whales, so the profits of miners are reduced in order to achieve the largest increase in bitcoin in this period, which is a good idea to maintain this currency

The halving was hardcoded in the bitcoin software by Satoshi since Bitcoin was released. He explained exactly why he did that and he never hiden the fact that it could make Bitcoin's price more attractive. Miners have a few options with the halving. Either they quit, or they adjust. To adjust they certainly need new hardware, more powerful from their old equipment and also renegotiate electricity price with their power supplier. Also they can hope that either prices or fees will rise and they can be still in profit with their current terms.

You didn't like this one then I guess. Was hoping to bring valid information for discussion and I'm sure that coindesk and cointelegraph would have way better articles about everything we post here, as they are paid professional authors and it is their job to provide something better from forum posts. Anyway I'm sorry I've failed you, I will go on with my life now and keep posting something that might be better than this.

Thank you, my friend, for this little information. I have left a few days for half of the bitcoin, which is repeated every 4 years. In this half, the rewards of miners are reduced to half, and no one knows what price bitcoin will reach.

Halving event is happening after every four years and this is measures for control of inflation on bitcoin. And this event in past happened only two times in the history of bitcoin on 2012 and 2016 and only one day remaining of 2020 halving event then next halving event is on 2024.

Thanks friend. If you didn't understand something it is probably because I didn't explained properly. If you have any questions please ask and I will try my best to explain. If I don't know something I will try and find the valid answer from my sources and provide it back the sooner I can.

Not all halving even happens in every four years, on my some coins like bitcoin, bitcoin forks or fork of fork and litecoin halving are every four years including some other coins, some coins are using different ways to have while some do not halve but are mined normally with certain amount that are constantly generated per month.

As from my knowledge from the Halving, as it happens per the 210000 bkivjs which are mined, as I think that, one of the importance of having is that of the security of the network having to be more difficult and validated on higher degrees as the main aim of miners is to validate transactions as it also mounts to the build up of the halving

Some of interesting facts about halving are, 21 million bitcoins will be total number of Bitcoin in this existence and Bitcoin halving is done to control the emission of Bitcoin to prevent from further price inflation.

Halving is a process that boost up the prices of bitcoins and the rewards are reduced in half for the miners. A halving takes place once in four tears. Three halving has been taken place and this year the fourth halving took place. It reduce the mining rewards. The mining rewards were at 12.5 btc but now if is at 6.25btc. So we are hoping for the increase of the prices.

When 210000 blocks are created in the blockchain network, Btc reward given to miners is reduced by half. This event, which repeats every 4 years, is named halving.

Halving is actually an adjustment in the networks through which transactions with this cryptocurrency occur. And it is thanks to this adjustment that during this day the profits of Bitcoin miners are cut in half. Your goal: reduce inflation

    • Сам тоже думаю не садиться в этот поезд, а то пошёл там выполнять их задания в Гелакси и только сбои да сбои, надоело там раз разом крутить кнопку проверки. Почему всё так происходит не пойму, полностью отбили мотивацию.
    • Если их машина по сжиганию будет работать отлично, то и токен будет в будущем расти из-за сокращения его огромного количества. Пока как знаю дела в этом направлении идут не плохо, но рост конечно идут за счёт Битка.
    • Да это уж многих удивило, сам тоже увы не в теме, хотя крос у меня стоил 10$, если был бы 100$, то точно зашёл бы в тему с ремонтом, а там уже каждый день за 20 дайсов мог бы получать по 0.5$ за 20 секунд.  Кстати у вас всё ещё видны ваши кеды ? Их можно ремонтировать 🤔
    • Да, типа это пользователи так сделали, что форум на дне, а ведь с самого начала нужно было понять, что на одной оплата так далеко дело не пойдёт. Нужно было с самого начала работать над качеством пользователей и жёстче бороться с ботоводами, мотивировать на создание топиков, дать возможность размещать реф ссылки во всех разделах форума, в том числе и сокращение ссылки, подключить рекламу к форуму, если так плохо дело с подписанными. И это только начало списка, где всё это можно реализовать, но нет никаких действий очень долгое время.
    • Отлично, что и у вас получилось, теперь можно будет вникать в тему, где как заметил сами их квесты много времени не отнимают, ну кроме проверки. Сделал всё, оставил на час или вообще зайдёшь завтра и уже можно минтить поинты.
    • Если так будет, то шансов на успех скорее всего будет не многовато, когда рынок может пойти на дно и даже Лаунчпад на Бинансе особо то не сможет помочь проекту. Хотя будет надеяться на то что всё пройдёт хорошо и после халвинга не будет сильный спад рынка.
    • Из-за чего про них будут помнить ещё несколько сотен тысяч пользователей, которых они не хило кинули. А всё могло быть иначе, если разработчики распределились с дропом получше как и вообще самим листингом токена.
