Could you elaborate on how the process of Bitcoin halving operates? I'm particularly interested in understanding the mechanics behind it and how it affects the supply and demand dynamics within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Specifically, I'd like to know how the mining reward is reduced, what impact it has on miners' incentives, and ultimately, how it shapes the market price of Bitcoin over time. Could you explain in simple terms, so that even a non-technical audience can grasp the concept?

This reward includes both a fixed block reward and any transaction fees paid by users.

During a halving event, the block reward is reduced by half. For Bitcoin, this will occur in April 2024, when the reward will drop to 3.125 bitcoins.

Along with this, miners also receive any mining fees accumulated from transactions in that block.
