Could you please elaborate on the concept of "Bitcoin block subsidy" in a succinct manner? I'm curious to understand how it works within the Bitcoin ecosystem. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing how this subsidy is determined, how it's distributed, and its role in incentivizing miners to participate in the Bitcoin network. Additionally, I'd like to know if the block subsidy remains constant or if it changes over time and, if so, how it's adjusted. Thank you for your time and explanation.

The block subsidy is disbursed through the coinbase transaction, which is a unique transaction within each block.

This coinbase transaction holds a special position, being the first transaction in every block and possessing no inputs.
