Educational analysis and insights on the most significant crypto assets in the market.
Bitcoin Halving Cycles
Every approximately four years, the reward for mining Bitcoin is cut in half — an event called the "halving." Historically, these events have preceded significant bull runs in Bitcoin's price.
However, past performance does not guarantee future results. Each cycle is unique, and many other factors influence Bitcoin's price including macro economics, regulation, adoption, and market sentiment.
- 2012 Halving: Reward cut from 50 to 25 BTC
- 2016 Halving: Reward cut from 25 to 12.5 BTC
- 2020 Halving: Reward cut from 12.5 to 6.25 BTC
- 2024 Halving: Reward cut from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC
- Each cycle showed diminishing percentage returns
Bear Markets Are Normal
Crypto drawdowns of 60-80% are historically common. Bitcoin has fallen 80%+ multiple times before making new all-time highs. Only invest what you can afford to lose completely.
Security Matters
Self-custody of crypto assets requires understanding of wallets, seed phrases, and security practices. "Not your keys, not your coins" is a fundamental principle.
Regulation Watch
Crypto regulation varies by country. In India, crypto gains are taxed at 30% + 1% TDS. Stay updated on regulatory changes that affect your jurisdiction.
