Nowadays, 1800 are mined daily, and after May 2020, this number will be reduced to 900 BTC, Halving slows the production of new bitcoins and pushes the date of creation of the latter.
2. Restrains crypto-inflation. The longer coins are mined, the more time it will take for all bitcoins to be engaged into circulation, Over time, new coins will become scarce, The slower new coins are mined, the lower is inflation.
3. Contributes to the rise of the bitcoin price (deflation), Since the supply in the market is reduced, then demand and rate are a rising.
4. Maintains the miners’ interest because of commission fees increase, and impossibility to get all the coins at a once.

Printing cash at their discretion, the number of bitcoins is limited, Thereby, cryptocurrency becomes more scarce and valuable and even becomes more like a gold than a “freely printable” national fiat currency.
Previously, the reward per block was 50 bitcoins, and bitcoin price was less a dollar, However, the two previous halvings reduced the reward twice, and now it amounts to 12.5 bitcoins per block, In 2023, the award will drop to 6.25 bitcoins (about $80,000).
