BitHyve Podcast Ep. 1

For this episode we spoke with https://twitter.com/Ravi_21M about the upcoming Halving in May. We asked Ravi the Following Questions: 

1.	What is Halving? Why is it important?
2.	What are rewards per block?
3.	Now there’s a concept called Block confirmation time. Can you tell our listeners what a block confirmation time is? 
4.	There’s a reason I asked you about block confirmation time. With Bitcoin halving, there is a possibility that mining becomes non profitable for some of the smaller players in the rabbit hole. If we couple that with the price of Bitcoin staying low for a prolonged period of time, what impact do you see that might have on the Ecosystem in general?    
5.	Now let’s talk about the Bitcoin price speculation. From the perspective that why it is not important with regard to halving?
6.	What is the buzz that you’ve been hearing about Bitcoin halving? What are the things that made you reflect whne you heard about it and what are the things that made you cring. What is panic mongering? And what is genuine information? 
7.	Now we are still in the nascency of Bitcoin. Many people won’t concern themselves with Halving. However imagine it’s the year 2024. A significantly bigger number of people are aware of Bitcoin and curious about the upcoming halving in 2024. What would be your message for them? 

Do let us know what you think of the episode.
