As a 
cryptocurrency enthusiast, I'm curious to understand the mechanics of the Bitcoin reward system. Could you please elaborate on how many coins are awarded per block after a Bitcoin halving event? This reduction in reward is a crucial aspect of Bitcoin's economic design, and I'm interested in understanding its impact on miners and the overall network. By gaining clarity on this matter, I can better assess the long-term sustainability of the Bitcoin network and its potential for growth.

    The question arises: why was such a mechanism implemented?

    Currently, the block reward stands at 3.125 coins for every block mined.

    The answer lies in the core design principles of Bitcoin as a deflationary currency.

    Deflationary currencies are designed to decrease in supply over time, in contrast to inflationary currencies which increase in supply.

    This figure, however, is poised to undergo a significant reduction following the next halving event.
