WHAT IS BTC HALVING

Bitcoin is a decentralized currency and miners help to complete the transaction and rewarded a certain amount of bitcoins whenever a block is produced (a new bitcoin issued every 10 minutes). When Bitcoin first started in 2009, 50 Bitcoins per block were given as a reward to miners and it will mine by using CPU power. After every 210,000 blocks are mined (around every 4 years), the block reward halves and will keep on halving until the block reward per block becomes 0. As of now, the block reward is around 12.5 coins per block and will decrease to its half 6.25 coins per block post halving.

WHEN THE BLOCK REWARDS BECOME ZERO
After halving and halving the rewards become less and less. And it will be 0 approximately by the year 2140.
