Yield after half BTC
The total number of bitcoins is 21 million
in 2009, when bitcoin was born, block reward was 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the block reward will be halved to 25
when the total amount reaches 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, i.e. 50% of 1050), the block reward will be further halved to 12.5. The monetary system used to have no more than 10.5 million in four years, after which the total number will be permanently limited to about 21 million

monetary characteristics
1. Decentralization: bitcoin is the first distributed virtual currency, and the whole network is composed of users without a central bank. Decentralization is the guarantee of bitcoin's security and freedom
2. Global circulation: bitcoin can be managed on any computer connected to the Internet. No matter where you are, anyone can dig, buy, sell or collect bitcoin
3. Exclusive ownership: private key is needed to control bitcoin, which can be stored in any storage medium in isolation. No one can get it except the user himself
4. Low transaction cost: bitcoin can be remitted free of charge, but a transaction fee of about 1 bitfen will be charged for each transaction to ensure faster transaction execution
5, no hidden cost: as a means of payment from a to B, bitcoin has no cumbersome limit of quota and proceres. If you know the other party's bitcoin address, you can pay
6. Cross platform mining: users can explore the computing power of different hardware on many platforms
2020 is the first year of digital currency proction rection. Most currencies will achieve the first proction rection this year, while bitcoin will usher in the third proction rection cycle. And the market is generally high on the halving market, it is expected that this year will usher in a wave of bull market, and the logic behind it is very clear. From the perspective of historical experience, this has already formed a more extensive "consensus" in the circle of cryptocurrency
secondly, bitcoin, known as "digital gold", is recognized by more and more funds for its risk aversion, which indirectly pushes up its price. At present, in addition to bitcoin, which has the most influence, BCH, BSV, etc, dash and other currencies are the most concerned. Dozens of counterfeit currencies have chosen to be halved in 2020. Therefore, 2020 is also known as the first year of halving
what is half bitcoin
bitcoin halving means that the reward for procing new blocks is halved about every four years. This means that after halving, the corresponding bitcoin reward for each block proced is only half of the reward before halving. At present, bitcoin has been halved twice, respectively in November 2012 and July 2016. The third half of bitcoin is expected to take place on May 13, 2020. By that time, bitcoin will be halved from 12.5 blocks to 6.25 blocks
half block reward means that it will take longer for all bitcoins to enter circulation, but it also means that mining will proce fewer and fewer new bitcoins. Moreover, e to its limited supply and increased mining difficulty, its scarcity attribute becomes more and more obvious, and scarcity will directly enhance the value. As the saying goes, scarcity is more expensive! For bitcoin, there is no doubt that this is a very big advantage
buying bitcoin in 2020 is better than buying bitcoin ETF fund
3, bitcoin current price 10000x4 = US $40000 (expected price after this year's proction rection)
in this period, the return comparison between holding spot and ETF fund is as follows:
1, buying spot holding, earning three times
2, buying ETF fund, Up to 15 times (intelligent position adjustment + fund compound interest calculation)
there is no doubt that bitcoin ETF launched by bitoffer is the best investment choice
1. With the increase of computing power in the whole network, the proportion of computing power owned by miners in the whole network decreases
2. The generation of bitcoin is slowing down. When bitcoin was born in 2009, each reward was 50 bitcoins. Ten minutes after its birth, the first 50 bitcoins were generated, and the total amount of money at this time is 50. Then bitcoin grew at a rate of about 50 every 10 minutes. When the total amount reaches 10.5 million (50% of 21 million), the bounty will be halved to 25. When the total amount reached 15.75 million (5.25 million new output, or 50% of 1050), the bounty was further halved to 12.5. In theory, bitcoin's mining speed has halved in four years.
bitcoin network generates one block every 10 minutes on average, and the reward for each block is currently 12.5. At the earliest time, 50 BTCs were awarded to each block, which was halved after 210000 blocks were excavated, about once every four years. It is expected that the next halving will be in May 2020, when the reward for each block will become 6.25

on November 28, 2012, BTC was halved for the first time, from $2.01 to $1178, an increase of nearly 600 times
on July 10, 2016, BTC halved for the second time, from $163.65 to $19800, an increase of more than 120 times
BTC is expected to halve for the third time in May 2020.
for reference only, it has no practical significance. After all, I don't count.
