In a move that has the cryptocurrency community buzzing with excitement, Coinbase, one of the leading cryptocurrency exchanges, has announced a giveaway to commemorate Bitcoin's historic halving event.
As part of this celebration, Coinbase will host a weekly Bitcoin giveaway, offering participants the chance to win BTC in recognition of this pivotal moment in Bitcoin's history.
The Bitcoin halving, a programmed event that occurs approximately every four years, is a fundamental feature of Bitcoin's monetary policy, designed to limit the supply of new BTC entering circulation.
During the halving, the rate at which new Bitcoins are created is cut in half, reducing the rate of supply growth and exerting upward pressure on Bitcoin's price over time.
