Bitcoin’s hashrate has been running hot despite the lower prices and the recent difficulty increases. In fact, blocks are being discovered faster than the ten-minute block interval average and because of this factor, the network’s reward halving may come sooner than expected. While some halving counters that simply leverage the ten-minute average note the halving is expected in May or April 2024, halving counters leveraging precise block interval times show the halving event could happen as early as March 1, 2024.

Bitcoin's block reward halved for the second time last week, from 25 to 12.5 bitcoins. The event, commonly referred to as “the halving” (or sometimes: “the halvening”), was a key moment in Bitcoin's history. Such halvings are scheduled to occur once in about every four years, and they ensure that no more than 21 million bitcoins will ever be in circulation. Unsurprisingly, the halving was highly anticipated, and predictions on how the event would impact the Bitcoin ecosystem abounded. One week since the second halving, this is the aftermath. Price. Perhaps the most debated issue leading up....

Hardcore believers, uncaring about its exchange rate, look forward to the “halvening” as a milestone in Bitcoin’s history. Each block reward halving represents a triumph for Bitcoin, for they signify that Bitcoin has remained relevant enough for mining to continue. Speculators, on the other hand, look to the halving as a source of hope. Since the block reward will be cut in half, supply will not grow as rapidly. This fact leads many to believe that the Bitcoin....
