97% Of All Bitcoin Will Be Mined In April of 2024 For the 4th Halving...
As a reminder: The single most important event for Bitcoin is the halving. Satoshi Nakamoto coded Bitcoin to half the reward payouts to miner's every 210,000 blocks. This event occurs approximately every four years and is a form of artificial inflation control, similar to a central bank printing less money. The halving ensures that the total supply of Bitcoin caps at 21 million, making it a deflationary asset. In simpler terms, as more time goes on, less and less Bitcoin are created. Every other fiat currency in existence is inflationary in nature. As more time goes on, more are created, thus making the currency you hold less valuable. This is what separates Bitcoin from everything else and why many believe that is is a digital store of value. As a function of economics and as Bitcoin's adoption rate grows, this means that demand will most likely outpace supply by a wide margin. The chart below shows past halving events and their market impact. Source: Jacob Canfield
