<p>Bitcoin halving is an event that reduces block rewards by half, meaning miners will be competing to create new blocks in the blockchain in return for a dwindling supply of fresh bitcoins. This process is hardcoded into the Bitcoin blockchain, and takes place approximately every four years. The screenshot shared by Zhao showed that the next halving is expected to take place 135 days from November 19, 2023.</p>
