What will happen?

price will be higher. and I will take a [censored] on the moon.

probably.

Will be about the same as today, 235-240. Market will already have priced the half'ing effect by July 2016. When the actual half'ng happens, no earlth-shattering price movement will occur. It's the 2-3 previous months before the half'ing, which will have seen the price swings.

There are huge chances that the price will be much higher than today. I am not going to say 100% because nothing is sure, but I honestly think that the upcoming halving will have great influence on the price. Scarcity is a key here!

Indeed. Price will have increased naturally by then. Halving will not influence the price, especially as the halving effect is much smaller than during the first halving. (When nothing spectacular happened by the way).

I think that the price of bitcoin will be increased by 26th of July 2016, not 100% but good enough.

Because there will be less coins that usual growing everyday and if the popularity of the bitcoin will be increased then the price will grow to the moon.

I'll go for higher than it is now and that's about it. I'm very curious to see whether it'll be all it's cracked up to be but I'm not massively convinced.

Price today:
$235 - $240.

What will happen on 7/26/16:
Probably not much.

Price by then:
$320 - $380.

This is pure speculation on my part.

well for me in 7/26/16
bitcoin price will be higher than today...
but i dont know how high will it be.
since bitcoin price is really not so stable.
well this is only an speculation so goodluck.

I would not be surprised to see something similar to the pre-halving pump we saw in litecoin.  However the pump may not be as extreme, and may happen more slowly.  I could be wrong, these things are hard to predict.

Price will definitely be higher

Well, what's the moon have to do with the price? I mean if that's true we'll probably look on the moon most of the time.

higher of course, this is common sense, unless someone think that bitcoin may fade away in one year

the real question is, can the market sustain the new higher price? and for how long?

My guess is that the price will be higher. I only think it won't be as high as people are thinking. My guess is at least above $300 but under $400. Beside that, 95% of the people are expecting the price to go up, I wouldn't be that surprised when there is a huge dump happening right before the block halving. In Bitcoin everything can happen.

Why did u picks such a random date? But anyway I think it will be above 350 dollar a bitcoin. Because we are getting double mining difficulty, so the price needs to go up. Also day by day more companies accepting bitcoin, which stimulates the market.

It's the date forecast for the next halving of the block reward (http://bitcoinclock.com/) :)

Thank you for that information, I thought that it would happen this year. Or is block reward different from mining difficulty?

It's more on that the price will be higher than what is on right now. Price may go from $350 to $400 per bitcoin, hopefully :)

We will be higher than we are now for sure but on that day we'd probably see a spike the day before or something and actually drop a little and take a weel to recover or something.  Bitcoin loves to pre rally.

I'm going with the last one and first one xD

That's right - difficulty changes and block reward changes are different things, but related.

Difficulty changes every 2016 blocks (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Difficulty) - approximately every two weeks. The block reward changes every 210000 blocks (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Controlled_supply#Projected_Bitcoins_Short_Term) - roughly every four years.

72-78

Wow, is bitcoin going to be so low? Please explain to me why. Or do u mean 720-780 dollar per bitcoin?

LMGTFY, when will the mining difficulty double?

a new ath surely won't happen. i think it's reasonable to see a price of $350 and after the halving has finished a slow price growth.

I don't know when it'll double, but it'll next change in 344 blocks. bitcoin.sipa.be (http://bitcoin.sipa.be/) tracks difficulty changes, hashpower, etc, so might be useful for roughly predicting when difficulty will be twice what it is now. I tend to use bitcoincharts.com (http://bitcoincharts.com/) for a number of other things, but it also tells us when the next difficulty change should be (look for "Difficulty" - the next change is then shown underneath it as "Estimated").

The value will rise to some point, thats whats going to happen. ;D

I hope the price will soon rise to high  ;D

I suspect the price will spike shortly before the halving as people buy in on the expectation that the halving will cause a sttep hike, but after the halving and excitement has worn off it'll probably come crashing back down.

Voted for "Price will be higher" and "Not ATH (pre pump before the actual halving) but still higher than it is now" because the latter also includes the first option. I think we still have time for ATH talking. First we have to see over 300$, or even 250$. :D

i will take a poop like every morning, but this time on the moon with a big childish happy grinn, because then the price will be sooo high i can buy me a rocket and a toilet to do so ^^

I think that the price of bitcoin for 250$ can be easily reached this year.
I am thinking that the price will be back at 300$ - 350$ next July. I don't think that price will go lower as there will be less coins that was expected every 50BTC reward for every block until then.

Price will be higher than it is now, probably significantly higher but not at ATH in my opinion. Probably around 600 USD, maybe.

Well I would be really happy about that.However I still doubt that it will double in price.However we all know how fast thinks can change and that baby gets boost like a rocket.
