A bitcoin halving is the point, every 210,000 blocks, at which the reward for mining a new block is cut in half. There have been four, in 2012, 2016, 2020 and 2024. The fifth falls at block 1,050,000, expected around April 2028. Each halves the rate at which new bitcoin are issued.

What Causes Boom and Bust Cycles? The Austrian Business Cycle Theory Explained
A boom and bust cycle is the pattern of rapid expansion followed by contraction that modern economies keep going through. The Austrian explanation is that the boom causes the bust: when a central bank holds interest rates below what real savings would set, businesses start projects that the economy's resources cannot finish.
Keynesian vs Austrian Economics: The Hidden Choice Behind Every Modern Crisis
