<h2 style="text-align: center;">Halving FAQ</h2>

<p>Q: What's a halving? Does that mean I'll have twice/half as many coins?</p>
<p>
A: No, a reward halving is when the fixed subsidy for miners gets cut in
half. This has happened twice before, and will happen many more times
until all bitcoins have been mined (21 million).
</p>

<p>
Q: Who decides when halvings happen? Can this be stopped?
</p>
<p>
A: Satoshi embedded the halving algorithm into the consensus protocol of
the Bitcoin network. It can only be changed if every user of the
network decided to change it as part of a hard fork. One of Bitcoin's
core offerings is its fixed and unchangable monetary policy, so it's
exceedingly unlikely that it is going to be changed.
<br/><br/>
The reward function (in Bitcoins) is
<code>r(h) = 50 / (2 ** floor(h / 210000))</code>, where h is block height.
</p>

<p>
Q: I noticed some of your measurments here are different than those on
other countdown clocks. Why is that?
</p>
<p>
A: Since mining is a probabilistic process, it's impossible to predict
when new blocks will be mined. <em>On average</em>, new blocks are
mined every 10 minutes, but this can vary a lot.
</p>

<p>
Q: Can I use this event to make money?
</p>
<p>
A: Probably not. But it's been observed that crypto bull markets have
happened in the (roughly) year after each of the previous two halvings,
so take that how you will
</p>

<p>
Q: Bear markets? Does that mean I should buy Bitcoin?
</p>
<p>
A: That's up to you. I'm not your financial advisor. Don't invest what
you can't afford to lose.
<!-- But also, buy Bitcoin! -->
</p>

<p>
Q: I have another question for you

A: I can be contacted at the following addresses...

The student asked his master, "Is this good for Bitcoin?".

The master, looking up from his tea towards the rising sun, said,

"Yes, this is good for Bitcoin."

And it was good.
