The most awaited biggest event of bitcoin Halving is coming in the next 3 months (expected at the beginning of May 2020).
The halving of bitcoin is a very important economical event because it reduced the inflation rate of bitcoin to half of its previous value that definitely results in the increment of the demand for bitcoin.
The Halving of the bitcoin occurred after every 210,000 blocks (4 years) in which block reward of the miners get reduced to the half of its previous value and it results into following effect on the economy of the bitcoin:
- More Strong Network: The cost of mining the bitcoin block gets double due to the sudden decrement in the block reward to half at the same difficulty level of the network. So this increment in the mining cost makes the bitcoin network more strong as attackers will cost more in order to attack the bitcoin network.
- Inflation Rate Reduced: The newly generated bitcoins come into supply through mining as a block reward to miners. So the reduction in block reward to the half results in the reduction of the inflation rate of bitcoin as well. This time the block reward will get reduced to 6.25 Bitcoins from 12.5 Bitcoins and the inflation rate gets reduced to 1.8% from 3.68%.
Basically, At halving the cost of mining got double at the same computation power of bitcoin network due to mining block reward halves to its previous value, and mining cost increment means the network is more secure than before that fundamentally makes bitcoin more valuable.
Secondly, the inflation rate of bitcoin get reduced means less number of new bitcoins will be generated with the time that directly reduced the selling pressure also.
Conclusion- after halving, the demand for bitcoin gets increased and selling pressure on the bitcoin market gets reduced, now you know what it means THE BULL BEGAN HIS RUN
Also, after halving the miners need to upgrade their mining hardware to the latest tech in order to stay in business as the old devices will no longer profitable due to decrement in the reward after halving.
The important point to note that bitcoin halving is a long term effect that usually takes 6 months to 1 year. So don’t be surprised if you will not see much increment in the bitcoin price for a year after halving due to some manipulation or other factors but after a year there will be massive gain in price will be seen in the bitcoin price due to the effect of halving that turns bitcoin price in a parabolic move. It can be seen in the historical chart of bitcoin as well when the previous two halvings occur as shown in the following chart:
