2024-04-21 11:11:32 Bitcoin's halving created the most valuable blocks in history, aside from one

Bitcoin's halving may have split the reward paid to miners in half, but a fierce battle for blockspace generated millions of dollars of payments to miners as the halving commenced. In fact, aside from an apparently accidental $3 million overpayment last November, all of Bitcoin's top 10 most valuable blocks have been mined since the halving, as first flagged by X user Clark Moody, in terms of U.S. dollar value at the time the block was mined.

Bitwise CIO Matt Hougan cast doubt on whether current prices truly capture the potential impact of increased demand following Bitcoin’s upcoming halving based on the Efficient Markets Hypothesis (EMH). Hougan raised critical questions about the limitations of EMH in anticipating what the market will be like post-halving. He pointed out that while EMH suggests that Bitcoin’s current price reflects all available information, including the anticipated supply cut from the halving — it does not account for unexpected shifts in market demand.
