- It is event halving mining rewards, reducing new Bitcoin issuance over time. Bonne réponse
- It is the event resetting price every four years, causing price volatility.
- It refers to dividing blocks into more transactions, boosting liquidity and inflation.
- It describes Bitcoin software upgrades that double transaction capacity, accelerating coin distribution.
Pourquoi est-ce la bonne réponse?
This is correct because Bitcoin halving is built into the protocol to cut miner block rewards in half approximately every four years. This mechanism reduces the rate at which new coins are created, slowing overall supply growth. For beginners, imagine a faucet that pours out less water over time: with each scheduled halving, miners earn fewer new coins, which makes Bitcoin more scarce and can influence its price by supply economics.
