How has Bitcoin performed historically after halvings?

Historical pattern: prices peaked 12-18 months after halvings (2013, 2017, 2021). Average peak gain from pre-halving lows: 7,000%, 3,000%, and 700% for 2012, 2016, and 2020 halvings respectively (diminishing returns with scale).

Will halvings continue to drive price appreciation?

Diminishing supply shock per halving and larger market cap make each subsequent halving less impactful proportionally. Eventually, transaction fees must replace block rewards as miner incentive when block rewards approach zero (~2140).
