When Bitcoin started, every block rewarded 50 BTC to the first miner to 'solve' the block. Bitcoin is programmed to reduce this amount every 210,000 blocks, halving the amounts roughly every 4 years.
The First Halving
Until November 28th 2012, every miner was rewarded with 50 BTC for every block that was mined. The first 210,000 blocks were mined by people like Satoshi Nakamoto himself, Hal Finney and early adopters. A huge amount of those Bitcoins is lost in hard drives. A lot of them sold. Some others still hodl.
The first halving saw miners reducing their reward to 25 BTC per block. Price wise, Bitcoin started it's first week with positive market action at $12.32, followed by four weeks of small downward movement, reaching a lower point of $12.70.
Afterwards, Bitcoin saw a brutal bull market in which it traded for $1163 in November 2013. This would have given a return of 9000% if someone bought BTC on halving day up to the top of the bull market.

The Second Halving
After Corn experienced the 2013 bull market, it crashed on Dec 2013 - Feb 2014 under the hack of MT. Gox, reaching a lower point of $160.
The second halving saw mining rewards drop from 25 to 12.5 BTC per block. Bitcoin started trading at $647 on July 10th, 2016 the day of the second halving. Short term, Bitcoin experienced a low of $464 in less than a month, only to recover non stop and taking hodlers to the glorious 2017 bull market; where each Bitcoin got sold up to $19,666 on Bitstamp. This would have given a return of almost 3000% if someone bought BTC from the second halving day.
The Third Halving
Set to happen on May 12th, miners will see their rewards cut to 6.25 BTC per block. Many speculators argue that the halving is 'priced in', while some others believe it will ignite the next bull run. Let us know your thoughts on this poll!
