I just bought some gold I hope it woz the right decision ill bee kicking myself if it gose higher after the halving wot do u men of men think ?

Personally, I think you should have bought bitcoin, especially in light of the upcoming halving. You can buy gold anytime. But that's just me.

After the halving, well... Mining block reward will be cut in half. As for price, it can really go both ways, nobody can predict where it's headed. If it goes up just remember that buying gold was a call you made and something you wanted at some point in time, ir order not to regret it so much :D

Not sure what to think about the halving. If Bitcoin was a regular stock, then post-halving price would be discounted already, but Btc is a different animal. Price skyrocketing is a possibility, massive interest lost is more unlikely in my view, but could also happen.

Nothing too earth shaking is going to happen after the halving. It's already priced-in. Get this through your thick skull. It's already priced-in. There will not be a rocket to the moon. That kind of excitement in price action has long passed. You're too late for the kind of price increases that we saw back in 2013. We're in a new normal with small increase and small drops. It's called the stabilization. Get used to it.

Ok daddy!
You're the boss!
And all you say must be true right?! ::)

The price will go higher after the halving. But it will not be that dramatic as in the 2013. It might just rise 5 times.

how many topic must be opened to understand what will happened after halving? why are you so lazy so search this info yourself and if you dont understand something, write in old topic? is it too hard?

All investment is speculation right?

... So let's speculate ...

Before executing a winning trade, the risk of losing out and the risk of making money is exactly the same.

Before executing a losing trade, the risk of making money and the risk of losing money is exactly the same.

But when you do nothing, the risk of making NO money is 100%... but of course the risk of losing money is 0%.

The point I am making is, no one can say for certain what effect the halving will have on the price per BTC. But, say the price does jump exponentially like it did in 2013 - the only way to benefit from this is to make the trade ;)

By taking the trade, you have a 50% chance of profiting but also a 50% chance of losing out.

If you sit on the sidelines, you have 0% risk of losing money - but a 100% risk of failing to 'make' money.

Thus, if your intention is to profit from this, it would be foolish not to have at least something on the table regardless of what the outcome is

OP should change the title or WOOT will happen after halving!

Price rise due to reduced reward!

People will realize it was a hype/scam all along and they aren't making any profits, in fact, the price is slowly declining as it does most of the time. They get scared to lose their investment, they sell, more sell, panic sell. We drop to 230-260.

Right on. I really hate the way price slowly declined from under a $1 to over $400. That really sucks etc etc etc.

Kwukduck, FUD better. Please. At least pretend you're making an effort.

i think Kwukduck, actually wants that, bitcoin is successful he is doing fud post on purpose to instigate dev and other to make a better currency than what it is right now by solving the countless flaws that are affecting it

he is buying and actually hoping for an increase after the halving

I'm firmly of the view that Kwuk doesn't need an excuse to FUD - provided it's entertaining! Today's epistles of doom have been dull, flat, lifeless. Heavy on hyperbole but light on interest. Dammit, I just know our resident prophet of armageddon can do better.

if you know halving, why you bought gold, i mean gold is stable and it won't bring you gold, while bitcoin, how you know, will have block reward halving, and it will very rise price of bitcoin, so if you want profit, sell gold and buy bitcoins for halving

i don't get it, if you have already bought "Gold" why are you here?
you should be talking on goldtalk.org :D

but i think you are going to miss out on the rise.

Do you think it's possible (I do) that they hold both BTC and gold?

No one knows how price will react at this halving. History does not have to repeat, Bitcoin is unpredictable and volatile. Add the blocksize conflict into the mix and it could be a wild ride. Large holders could decide to diversify into other coins like Litecoin, Monero and Ether or just move into cash and crash the price well before the halving to play it safe.

If we analyze the price of litecoin the last halving then we can see that there were many pumps before the halving, making people panic to buy litecoin which made the price going really high, but after that the price was keeping crashing. To the bitcoin can happen the same but nobody knows for sure what will happen, i hope for the best (an increase of 2x)

Litecoins price is at $4.00.

Compared to bitcoin being in the $400 zone.. so I dont see the value of litecoin any more then any other alt coins out there if bitcoin serves the majority of its purpose.

Unless the alt coin has a demand like just-dice needed to gamble or use a certain service.. hence why these crashes happen.

There needs to be a "need".

Better to buy bitcoins right now than gold because the price will increase more after halving.. you can buy gold anytime but gold price is not so fast to increase than bitcoin so..  better to buy bitcoins.

Your logic is flawed.  The schedule for the halving's has been known since inception, with your logic the price would have been the same since day 1, given it's already "priced in". Right?

The bitcoin will increase in his worth most likely when the halving has been done but I think after the price has been increased it will go down low again till the 500/600 dollar if I'm honest.
Its of course not to predict but I think that is gonna happen in my eyes, buying the bitcoins is good right now indeed because of the halving and the price increase it will have most likely but keep in mind the bitcoin is unpredictable!

Dont know how you are connecting gold price with bitcoin having. But i think buying some bigcoin in this undervalued price would be nice decision.

it is always a good idea to diversify and invest in multiple things. that is also what i do with bitcoin+altcoins+gold+two more things but now is the time for bitcoin especially in the following months the price is going to be at a good stage

On halving we can expect a steep increase in price and after halving we can experience a gradual decrease in price. In a limited time period after halving we can experience a stabilized value.

That could happen. The halving is just one catalyst for the price action. The long term price depends on the general adoption.
