Bitcoin Suisse Halving Hub
New articles from the Halving Hub
The latest articles from our Bitcoin Halving series discuss the impact on the cryptocurrency’s supply and demand as well as the macro dynamics of the much-anticipated event.
Article #2 explains how the halving event ultimately leads to a decrease in the available supply of Bitcoin and how this reduction, combined with continued demand, is argued to potentially drive up the price over time. The article also explores the historical context of previous halving events and their effects on the cryptocurrency market.
Article #3 discusses the macroeconomic dynamics of Bitcoin halving events, emphasizing their impact on supply dynamics and their correlation with price movements. It highlights the significance of Bitcoin's scarcity and its long-term value proposition, drawing on historical patterns to underscore the importance of halving events in the cryptocurrency market.
