Abstract
- Bitcoin's next "halving" is approaching, which will cut the production of the cryptocurrency in half. This event occurs roughly every four years and affects the supply of bitcoins available in the market. Some argue that halving can counteract inflation and lead to price increases, but experts caution that future gains are not guaranteed. The environmental impact of bitcoin mining, which consumes a significant amount of energy, is also a concern. The next halving is expected to occur in the next few days or hours.
