What does the Bitcoin halving mean?

The halving is when the reward for mining new Bitcoin is cut in half, about every four years.

It happens every 210,000 blocks and slows how fast new coins are created. People watch it because past halvings were followed by price rises, but there have only been a few, so that pattern proves little about the future.
