Cos'e l'halving di Bitcoin?

L'halving e un evento programmato ogni 210.000 blocchi (circa 4 anni) che dimezza la ricompensa per i miner. L'ultimo halving (aprile 2024) ha portato la ricompensa da 6,25 a 3,125 BTC per blocco. Riduce l'inflazione di Bitcoin e storicamente ha preceduto rialzi di prezzo.

Quando sara il prossimo halving?

Il prossimo halving e previsto intorno a marzo-aprile 2028, quando la ricompensa scendera da 3,125 a 1,5625 BTC per blocco. L'ultimo halving possibile (con ricompensa di 1 satoshi) avverra intorno al 2140, quando tutti i 21 milioni di BTC saranno stati minati.

L'halving fa salire il prezzo di Bitcoin?

Storicamente si: nei 12-18 mesi dopo ogni halving, Bitcoin ha raggiunto nuovi massimi. Halving 2012: da 12 a 1.100 USD. 2016: da 650 a 20.000 USD. 2020: da 8.500 a 69.000 USD. Pero la correlazione non implica causalita e i rendimenti diminuiscono ad ogni ciclo.
