 The milestone of 210,000 blocks is a crucial event in the Bitcoin network, as it marks the occurrence of a halving, where the block reward for miners is reduced by half. This mechanism is designed to control the issuance of new bitcoins and maintain the scarcity of the digital asset. The decrease in new Bitcoin issuance to 3.125 bitcoins per block underscores the protocol's deflationary nature and its potential as a store of value.
