Let's take a look at the belated bitcoin halving, as always I'm late on every big events. 

On April 19th, 2024, something historic happened in the world of Bitcoin. The cryptocurrency underwent its fourth "halving," an event written into Bitcoin's code that cuts the reward for mining new Bitcoins in half. 

Imagine a gold mine. Every four years, this event reduces the amount of gold miners can extract. That's essentially what happens with a Bitcoin halving. The total number of Bitcoins that will ever exist is capped at 21 million, and halvings are a way to gradually slow down the creation of new ones.

So, why is this a big deal? Here's the interesting part: halvings can potentially impact the price of Bitcoin. With fewer new coins being created, some believe demand could rise while supply shrinks, pushing the price up. Of course, the future is uncertain, but halvings are a key part of what makes Bitcoin unique and have historically been times of excitement in the cryptocurrency world.
