What Drives the Bitcoin Price?
Scarcity & Halvings
Bitcoin has a fixed supply of 21 million coins. Every ~4 years, the mining reward is cut in half (halving), reducing new supply. The 2024 halving cut the reward to 3.125 BTC, and the next one in 2028 will reduce it to 1.5625 BTC.
Institutional Adoption
Spot Bitcoin ETFs have attracted over $30 billion in inflows. Companies like MicroStrategy hold hundreds of thousands of BTC. Pension funds and sovereign wealth funds are beginning to allocate to Bitcoin.
Macro Economics
Rising government debt, persistent inflation, and monetary expansion make Bitcoin attractive as a decentralized store of value. Many investors see it as "digital gold" and a hedge against currency debasement.
Network Effects
As more people, companies, and countries adopt Bitcoin, the network becomes more valuable. This follows Metcalfe's Law — the value of a network grows exponentially with the number of participants.

How can I buy Bitcoin?
You can buy Bitcoin through cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase, Kraken, or Binance. Many traditional brokerages now also offer Bitcoin trading. You can also invest through Bitcoin ETFs in your regular brokerage account.
What is Bitcoin halving?
Bitcoin halving is an event that occurs roughly every 4 years where the reward for mining new Bitcoin blocks is cut in half. This reduces the rate of new Bitcoin creation, increasing scarcity. Historically, halvings have preceded major price increases.
