As a curious investor, I'm intrigued by the concept of Bitcoin halving. Could you please explain in simple terms how it works? Specifically, I'd like to know how the reward for mining bitcoin is halved and what are the potential implications for the overall market? I understand it's a crucial event in the bitcoin ecosystem, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around the mechanics behind it. Could you also elaborate on how it might affect the supply and demand dynamics, as well as the potential impact on bitcoin's price?

Once the number of remaining blocks is determined, it is multiplied by the average time it takes to mine or produce a single block.

The Bitcoin halving event is determined primarily by comparing the current block height to the predefined block height for the occurrence of the halving.

To estimate the approximate time of the halving, one must calculate the number of blocks remaining before the event.

This calculation is achieved by subtracting the current block height from the target block height for the halving.

The average block production time is based on historical data and can vary depending on the overall hash rate and mining difficulty of the Bitcoin network.
