CRYPTOCURRENCY	this type of fork requires most miners upgrading in order to enforce, while a hard fork requires all nodes to agree on the new version. since old nodes recognize the new blocks as valid, a soft fork is essentially backward-compatible. a soft fork differs from a hard fork in that only previously valid transactions are made invalid. ^{Source + Source}
SOFT FORK	the final halving will take place in the year 2140. the total amount of bitcoins that will ever be issued is 21 million. the number of bitcoins generated per block is decreased 50% every four years and is called halving. bitcoins have a finite supply, which makes them a scarce digital commodity. ^{Source + Source}
PROOF OF WORK	cryptocurrencies are representations of digital assets. also known as tokens. ^{Source + Source}
HALVING	the more ‘work’ you do or the more computational power you provide, the more coins you are rewarded with. a consensus distribution algorithm that requires an active role in mining data blocks, often consuming resources, such as electricity. ^{Source + Source}
