Mysterious Billboards Hint at Upcoming Bitcoin Halving Campaign Earlier this month, Bitcoin crossed the historic $63,000 price threshold for the first time since December 2021. As Bitcoin continues its rally, curious citizens in Istanbul and Manila were greeted with an unusual sight on February 26th- a large billboard advertising a Bitcoin Halving 2024 promo video with the statement “Bitcoin Halving, a story of Less is more”. The mysterious advertisement piqued public interest and speculation over who was behind it.
What is Bitcoin Halving?
Occurring roughly every four years, Bitcoin Halving refers to a built-in mechanism that cuts Bitcoin’s block reward – the amount of Bitcoin miners receive for processing blockchain transactions – by 50%. The upcoming halving, expected in 2024, will reduce the block reward from 6.25 bitcoins to 3.125 bitcoins. This predictable tightening of issuance reduces the inflation rate over time, making Bitcoin an increasingly scarce digital asset, like “digital gold”. As bitcoin becomes scarcer, halvings are seen as bullish events that push up its price over the long term. The previous two halvings preceded Bitcoin’s largest historical price rallies and that’s why this milestone is hugely important to the crypto industry.
CoinEx Revealed as Creator of Teaser Ads
Given the importance of Bitcoin halvings to the crypto space, the mysterious outdoor ads signaled someone’s big marketing play around the anticipated 2024 event. Shortly after the billboards appeared, CoinEx, a global cryptocurrency exchange, claimed ownership of the advertisement on their social media channels. The unconventional outdoor advertising and subsequent video have sparked debate – is this merely an attention-grabbing marketing ploy by CoinEx, or a genuine homage to a genuine tribute to the monumental Bitcoin halving event?
