“Bitcoin’s next halving (projected to take place in April 2024) will bring the network’s inflation rate below 1% with roughly 450 new bitcoin being mined per day. Historically, Bitcoin’s three previous halvings (2012, 2016, 2020) have been pointed to as catalyzing subsequent bull runs, as existent demand quickly outstripped lower levels of new supply…

The 2024 halving should remain in focus for the simple reason that bitcoin’s inflation rate falling below 1% will place it among the hardest existing assets known to humanity, lower than historical store-of-value assets such as gold and silver.”
