Every four years, the number of units created per mined block is halved. An operation a priori without consequence for the price of the virtual currency.
The famous halving, which will affect the queen of cryptocurrencies, should take place this Friday, April 19. Operation, usefulness, impact on the value of cryptocurrency... Le Figaro takes stock of the questions posed by this halving. What is the purpose of the halving, and how will it affect bitcoin? What will the impact of this halve be on bitcoin's price? What are the implications for the world of finance and finance in general, and for the bitcoin community in particular? What is going to happen to bitcoin's value in the coming months and years, and what will its impact be on the rest of the world's financial system? What do you think?
