The article is #1 on HN ("hacker news" aka ycombinator news) at time of posting. Coinbase is notable because its a Ycombinator startup founded by a former employee of Airbnb, which itself is one of Ycombinator's most successful ventures to date.

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.
