The Bitcoin community is eagerly anticipating the upcoming fourth reward halving event, which will see the block subsidy drop from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC. This has sparked speculation on how miners will adapt to the diminishing returns, as the reward will continue to decrease over the next two decades.

While the exact course of events is unknown, Bitcoin's structured design allows for reasonable estimates of future halving timelines. As block rewards continue to decrease, the primary theory is that increasing transaction fees will incentivize miners to secure the network, potentially leading to a sustainable and secure future for the cryptocurrency.
