▶️ Bitcoin Halving 2020: The Great Crypto Pump | EP#314

Bitcoin halved yesterday! Bitcoin rewards are halved every 210,000 blocks mined and generally occur every 4 years and this JUST HAPPENED. So why does this matter? It tends to affect the price. Let's dive into exactly how.

The current reward for miners mining blocks for bitcoin is 12.5 and it will decrease soon to 6.25. Litecoin is one halving behind Bitcoin so it's currently at 25 and will go to 12.5. This means there will be a much lower incentive for miners and traditionally many miners have stopped mining when this happens which leads to the supply to be lower while the demand stayed the same. This is meant to deal with inflation and allows the value to go way up as fewer coins are produced.
