I'm curious to understand, what are the key implications of the recent bitcoin halving event? Could you elaborate on how it affects the mining process, the supply of bitcoins, and potentially the market price? I've heard it's a significant milestone in the cryptocurrency world, but I'm still trying to grasp the full impact it brings. Does it lead to a decrease in the number of bitcoins mined per block? And how does this, in turn, influence the overall value and liquidity of bitcoin in the market? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.

By then, the block reward will have reached its minimum value, signaling the end of new Bitcoin supply and the transition to a fully decentralized and secure cryptocurrency system.
