đ„Bitcoin's Fourth Halving is Complete: Block Rewards Drop to 3.125 BTC! Let the Bull Run Party Begin!đđ
Bitcoin just went through its fourth halving, and it's a big deal. At block height 840,000, the block rewards got cut in half, from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC. That's a significant change! But here's the kicker: despite the halving, miners for block 840,000 still made bank. They snagged a massive transaction fee, over 37 BTC, worth more than $2.4 million. Talk about a payday!
Even with this historic event, Bitcoin's price stayed pretty steady, hovering above $63,000. It even hit $64,120 at one point before dipping a bit.
Right now, Bitcoin's trading at around $63,700, up about 6% in the last 24 hours. And get this: the whole crypto market's now worth over $2.4 trillion, up 4% in the last day alone.
But it's not just Bitcoin stealing the show. Other altcoins are bouncing back too. Ethereum and Binance Coin both jumped 5.5% in the last day. And check out Solana, soaring by 10% and trading at around $142.
So, why all the fuss about halving? Well, this isn't Bitcoin's first rodeo. It's had four halving events since it started in 2009. Each time, the block rewards get cut in half, creating scarcity and potentially boosting demand. After past halvings, Bitcoin's price shot up. Will history repeat itself? Maybe, maybe not. Some experts think recent developments, like the introduction of Bitcoin ETFs and increased institutional adoption, might have already factored into the price.
Plus, there's always uncertainty in the air, especially with global tensions affecting risky investments like crypto. So, buckle up, because the ride's just getting started!
