Could you elaborate on the concept of a Bitcoin halving reward and provide a current estimate of its value? I'm curious to understand the significance of this event and how it impacts the
cryptocurrency market. Is there a predictable pattern to these halvings, and how does it affect the mining incentives and the overall supply of Bitcoins? Given the volatility of the crypto market, is there a way to accurately predict the reward amount before each halving occurs? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
