Is the Bitcoin Four Year Cycle Broken - Here Is the Honest Answer and What It Means for Every Millennial Holding Bitcoin Right Now (Bit Coin, Wealth & Investing)

The four-year halving cycle has been Bitcoin's most reliable pattern since 2012, maybe even, like, the most reliable.

Every single cycle plays out the same way.

The halvening happens, price goes sideways, then it explodes, then it crashes hard, then it recovers.

Four times in a row now, without exception.

This cycle, something different has happened, and I wanna talk about what it means.

[air whooshing] Let me just quickly explain the cycle for anyone who hasn't heard this before, because it's the foundation of everything else.

Every four years, actually every 210,000 blocks, Bitcoin's code automatically cuts the amount of new Bitcoin being created in half.

This is called the halving.

Sometimes I call it the halvening.

I don't know why.

It just sort of comes out like that sometimes.

So 210,000 blocks is every, roughly every 10 minutes, and that adds up, adds up to roughly four years, pretty much.

It's, it's pretty amazing how they calculated this.

And when Bitcoin started in 2009, the miners, people running the computers that power the network, received 50 new Bitcoin for every block they added to the chain.

So all the transactions that get processed added to the ledger.

In 2012, that halved to 25.

In 2016, it halved again to 12 and a half bitcoins.

In 2020, it halved to 6.25, and in April 2024, the most recent halving, it again cut in half to 3.125 bitcoin per block.

So right now, every single day, only 450 new Bitcoin are created.

That's it for the entire planet.

And here's the thing.

BlackRock's Bitcoin ETF alone has been buying thousands of Bitcoin per week, and the daily supply of new Bitcoin being created is less than what a single large ETF absorbs in a few hours.

The pattern that has followed every halving in history so far goes like this.
