Bitcoin sentiment held strong during the halving, despite a flash crash days prior and a lackluster show of events on the day itself, according to Joshua Frank, co-founder, and CEO of data analytics platform, The Tie.
"The event remains the dominant narrative for Bitcoin.” Frank told Decrypt, "The Halving continues to be the most used word in Twitter conversations around Bitcoin, and 65% of the 4,119 tweets over the last 24 hours mentioning the Halving are positive. This is in addition to the more than one and a half thousand tweets using the hashtags #BitcoinHalving and #BitcoinHalving2020 which are both over 70% positive."
Before the halving, Bitcoin sentiment had struck a yearly high. This was shortly before its climb to $10,000 on May 7. Nevertheless, the positivity was short-lived. Sentiment turned sour just two days before Bitcoin’s big day, when the price suddenly dropped.
"On [May] 9th, as Bitcoin’s price dropped by over 10%, sentiment fell to its lowest level since “Bloody Thursday” on March 12th," explained Frank.
Still, despite the negative connotations of a price decline, investors remained resilient, with sentiment bouncing back in a mere 24 hours.
The Bitcoin halving, one of the most anticipated events in the crypto world, finally happened today at 19:23 UTC by AntPool. Miners who support the most valuable and revered blockchain network in the cryptocurrency ecosystem will now earn half as much as they used to, 6.25 BTC per block, just as Satoshi Nakamoto designed. Today’s milestone occurred when the 630,000th block was mined, triggering a 50% reduction in the reward miners receive. Miners will now receive only half as much Bitcoin per b...
Come the day of the halving, Bitcoin experienced one of the highest numbers of unique Twitter accounts discussing the coin since June 2019—second only to its cataclysmic crash on March 12.
More notable, however, was Bitcoin’s tweet dominance—an indicator denoting the percentage of overall cryptocurrency tweets that an individual asset accounts for. According to Frank, on May 11—halving day—Bitcoin’s tweet dominance hit its highest point since December 8, 2017.
So while the Bitcoin halving itself was less than eventful, at least sentiment continued to outpace expectations. Which is more than can be said for the price.
The first satoshi mined on the Bitcoin blockchain after last week’s halving event, mined by Bitcoin mining pool ViaBTC, went up for auction—and fetched a sizable seven-figure sum. The auction of “epic sat” 1,968,750,000,000,000, hosted on the cryptocurrency exchange CoinEX, ended Thursday with a final bid of 33.3 Bitcoin ($2.13 million worth) winning the piece of Bitcoin history. It's not yet clear who won the auction. The auction of the Epic Sat began on April 20, the day after the halving, wit...
It's been roughly four days since Bitcoin (BTC)’s fourth halving event occurred, and market watchers have amassed enough data to give an early verdict on its effects. For one, Bitcoin’s supply inflation rate has collapsed, as expected. Each Bitcoin block—mined roughly once every ten minutes—now produces just 3.125 new BTC, half of its former 6.25 BTC block subsidy. Before the halving, 900 BTC was generated daily, fueling a 1.7% inflation rate. The new figures are roughly equivalent to 450 BTC pe...

Every four years, the amount of Bitcoin doled out to cryptocurrency miners halves in a process imaginatively known as the Bitcoin halving (or halvening, though the term has fallen out of favor in recent years). Here’s why—and how—it works. Bitcoin’s supply limit To understand the Bitcoin halving, we must first understand the theory behind its supply. The inventor of Bitcoin, Satoshi Naka...
