Nasdaq: Should you be scared of "The Halving"?
At some point in the next few days, an event will occur that many believe could define the future of Bitcoin. It is, in theory, simple: the number of bitcoin awarded to miners when they succeed in creating a new block (in effect, when they “find” bitcoin as a result of their efforts) will be cut in half, from 25 coins to 12.5.
This halving, as it is generally referred to, is neither a new thing nor a surprise, but this time around could have lasting effects. What is not known is whether they will be good or bad for Bitcoin as a whole.
Although there is still much uncertainty, the actual effects of halving are more likely to be beneficial to current holders of Bitcoin and to the community as a whole.
