When:<\/strong> We’ll be monitoring Bitcoin’s block height to determine the exact moment of the Halving, and therefore the official timing of our event; currently scheduled for around May 12, 2020. You can expect updates on the specific live stream date and timing to be posted across our social channels.<\/p>\n

Bitcoin\u2019s biggest innovation is and always has been provable, digital scarcity. It\u2019s the reason there will never be another Bitcoin and why there will only ever be 21 million BTC. Period.<\/p>\n

The mechanism by which Bitcoin\u2019s digital scarcity is created is the block reward halving. Every 210,000 blocks, the amount of bitcoin that is awarded to miners for confirming transactions gets cut in half, until sometime around the year 2140 when that amount will become zero. The Halving creates a moment of true supply shock \u2014 something incredibly unique and novel that doesn\u2019t exist in any traditional currencies.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re only days away from block 630,000; the third block reward halving. This event is believed to be one of the biggest drivers of bitcoin\u2019s price, and it directly affects miners\u2019 incentives. It has also only happened twice before, so with such a drastic jolt to the system, it\u2019s really hard to know exactly what to expect afterward.<\/p>\n

In the past two halvings, we\u2019ve seen narratives around a \u201cmining death spiral\u201d spring up as people speculate that all miners will have their incentives evaporate and turn their machines off. Instead, we\u2019ve seen wild bull markets (from $12.20 to $1,200 after the first halving; $650 to $20,000 after the second halving) which have brought major growth in the adoption of Bitcoin. <\/p>\n

With so many new economic factors swirling around the world today, this Halving couldn\u2019t come at a more interesting time. Even though there were two before, this Halving has the feel of something truly unprecedented.<\/p>\n

So let\u2019s find out what happens together! Bitcoin Magazine<\/em> is excited to announce that we will be hosting a free, 21-hour live stream leading up to and going throughout Bitcoin\u2019s third Halving! Because nobody knows exactly when the Halving will be, you\u2019ll need to stay up to date with us on the details: BitcoinHalving.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Come learn about Bitcoin and celebrate the halving with us and some of our closest friends (at a safe social distance) as we ring in the new cycle! It\u2019s a \u201ccan\u2019t miss\u201d event! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
