It's an event that brings equal parts predictability and uncertainty.
For close to a year, bitcoin miners and investors have been preparing for a network change nicknamed 'the halving'. At approximately 18:00 UTC tomorrow, the subsidy the bitcoin network uses to compensate miners will drop from 25 BTC to 12.5 BTC, never to increase again.
Yet, despite its scheduled arrival, many in the industry remain unsure just how significant an impact it could have on bitcoin's still-volatile price and the health of the distributed payment network's transaction validators (aka miners).
