Why Does the Halving Matter?

Bitcoin's halvings are pre-programmed supply reductions baked into the protocol. Unlike central banks that can print money at will, Bitcoin's issuance schedule is immutable. Each halving reduces the rate at which new BTC enters circulation, making Bitcoin increasingly scarce over time. Historically, halvings have preceded significant bull markets as supply shock meets constant or growing demand.
