TradeIts finally here This week the Bitcoin block reward halving will happen possibly as early as today We dont know the exact date and time as it happens automatically after 210000 blocks are mined rather than a defined date and time but if you want a New Years Eve style countdown check out Bitcoinblockhalfcom Ive covered the technical details of halving in previous newsletters so I wont go over them again The important thing to note is that the block reward to miners will halve from 125 BTC to 625 BTC hence the name of the event
