🧮 Today’s key takeaway: Bitcoin’s total supply and halvings
When Bitcoin launched, the reward for each block was 50 coins. It has been cut in half every 210,000 blocks since then—roughly once every four years.
When discussing supply, distinguish between “fewer new coins being issued” and “how the price moves”; they’re not the same thing.
Don’t stake all your savings on a single prediction.
$BTC new-coin issuance is written into the protocol; no institution can arbitrarily increase it.
