What the halving means
Every 210,000 blocks, the reward for Bitcoin miners halves. The date is estimated from the average block time, so it may shift by a few days. More: what the Bitcoin halving is.
There is no guarantee the price rises after a halving; avoid "guaranteed profit" offers built around it.
