Predictions of Bitcoin price after the Halving

The halving is the 50% reduction of the reward for mining new Bitcoin blocks which takes place once in every four years and leads to a reduction of how much new Bitcoin is being released into circulation. In the beginning, the number of new bitcoins issued every 10 minutes was 50 for every four years later, this number is cut in half. Halving is the pre-programmed inflation control mechanism designed to create more scarcity, this means the supply of new bitcoins will be lower. In 2012, the number of new bitcoins issued every 10 minutes dropped from 50 bitcoins to 25. In 2016, it dropped from 25 to 12.5. Now, in the 2020 halving, it will drop from 12.5 to 6.25 Predictions of price after the Halving. Bets and predictions are starting from $12,500 per Bitcoin.
