Could you elaborate on the concept of the bitcoin halving cycle? I've heard about it but am not fully clear on its significance within the cryptocurrency landscape. In simple terms, what does it mean and how does it impact the bitcoin ecosystem? Is it a periodic event that occurs at a fixed interval? If so, what determines the frequency of these halving events and how does it affect the mining rewards and potentially the price of bitcoin? Your insights would be greatly appreciated.
