GLOSSARY CORNER Bitcoin halving is an event that occurs in every 210.000 blocks (approximately every four years), reducing the rate at which new Bitcoins are created by half. This process helps control the supply of Bitcoin, gradually decreasing it until reaching a maximum of 21 million Bitcoins. | EDITOR’S CHOICE • Sorularla Blockchain (book) • Bitcoin Halving (video) |
