It's getting serious , honestly I don't want to think in a worst case scenario.
If people don't want to get the price screwed then they simply shouldn't panic if it gets low and they shouldn't start selling everything even if it's UP , that way we can keep some balance between the supply and the demand . I'm very optimistic though.

If the price goes down after the halving people will lose their nerve and start panic selling 100% and this will lead to even more decreasing of the price. I hope this scenario would not happen and we will see a normal pump and dump like it's expected. Personally I will sit on the sideline and will watch what is going to happen until the end of the year and I will make my move in the winter or during next year. It's very bad to make premature decisions this summer.

It would indeed be so funny if the price would actually go down along with the halving, with everyone expecting it to rise.

Well here it is guys. We'll see who is willing to go all in and who isn't. This is the nature of the game!

You have to be in it, to win.

Those that are sitting on the fence have a 0% chance of profiting, but also 0% chance of losing.

But, those of us who are willing to put our money where our mouth is... those of us that are willing to walk the walk... we have a 50% chance of doing well!....... BUT, also a 50% chance of losing it all :D

This is the coming of age/rite of passage for many of you young investors... Boys will become men no matter what happens.

I'm willing to play. I'm probably holding more BTC than I should be... but, this trade has been three years in the making. I definitely will not be backing out. 100% Prepared for all outcomes and eventualities... LET'S AVE IT!!!!

Hey, cool it!
Halving isn't this month, nor next one. I know some speculators are already red hot, but to the average bitcoiners, there's still nothing to see or hear.

Well here it is guys.

You want to be "investors," "speculators," "traders?"

Well this halving will separate the boys from the men. We'll see who is willing to go all in and who isn't.

it is better if you do not want to take the risk. but if the price go up, you will have to buy again on a higher price ? you will miss the train
I agree with you in one condition, if one cannot afford losing, it is better to sell before halving

You could be right, it could be a yawn.  Sometimes things do the opposite of what is expected. 

One good thing about a stable price through the halving would be that new bitcoin users/investors would feel more comfortable getting involved.  Sharp moves up or down can scare people away and what bitcoin needs is adoption more than a price rise.  More adoption = natural rise in price.

I will just watch as people panic sell or buy whatever they want the price will definitely be unstable at that point. But if most of us just watch as this unfolds none of us should be affected by this.

If you do that you may regret it.

A lot of people "stayed out" of bitcoin entirely when they first heard about it back in 2009-10 thinking it just may not work or fail and look where we are at now.

If holding some coins then now is not the time to panic sell, just hold sit tight and enjoy the ride.

Just my guess, and I'm pretty much a wanker at BTC...: Not much will happen. 

If we get a big move up (yay), well, OK I'll cash-in some BTC for gold.  Not very much BTC though.  BTC is the closest things I have to a Lotto ticket, so I'll hang on to most of the rest.

If the price drops I will just scoop up some cheap ones and add them to my stock for future keepings. The price will definitely fluctuate in the period. I just want the price to drop so I can get some extremely cheap bitcoins.

i think bitcoin price will be rising again before halving

Post by: Herbert2020 on May 17, 2016, 05:30:00 AM
there might be no rise even until after the halving and most whales may keep the price down to do some more shakedown and then after the disappointment of newbies the price will explode to the moon and then those newbies come back and push the price even further up.

Thats why coins in tradings sites are sleeping maybe the big holder and investors save their btc in their wallet and waiting for halving and sure with that many people will earn by this event coming, and i have big feeling that big crash will also occur if all holders start to sell their coin after the halving and hopes it cannot affect the bitcoins price and remain steady for its high price.

Personally I will sit on the sideline and will watch what is going to happen until the end of the year and I will make my move in the winter or during next year. It's very bad to make premature decisions this summer.

I think 75% of the people expect too much from the block halving, and that may indeed lead to heavy dumpings after the block halving if they see the price didn't go up a lot. But then again, people will sell anyway. If the price goes up, people will cash out their profits, and if the price doesn't go up, people will sell because they are disappointed or simply expect others to sell as well so they sell in panic to not fall behind.

True, many people are accumulating as many coins as they can, so as to dump when the rate of BTC goes up.
This will lead to people dumping when bitcoin goes like 10% up.

That will probably decrease the price of 1BTC.

I assume that it won't be sudden spike of price and huge bubble right away after halving will hit. But instead market reaction will be delayed like it was in the case of previous halving.
Most likely Bitcoin price rise will be staggered throughout the rest of a year. I guess we will see real implication of halving in about year from now.

Community and the whales are the ones who move the price. So if we're buying but the whales are selling then the price won't increase even after halving. New mined BTC will be sold at a higher price in order for the miners to be in equilibrium with their expenses but if there will still be sellers at a lower price point or those who put sell walls then those high price might not materialize.

I missed the 2013 $1200 price rise because I was skeptical at that time and preferred to stay aside watching the pump unfold thinking that it's risky to be involved but in the end I was the one who didn't profit anything because I was too scared to buy cheap and hold until the balloon popped. Well this time I am going to be prepared and won't sell anything until I am completely sure every last Satoshi is pumped before the big dump that will bring the price down to normal levels. Buckle up gentlemen because we are starting the rollercoaster ride soon ;)

Post by: Enotche on May 17, 2016, 10:03:39 AM
It is believed that a sharp change in remuneration, while maintaining prices Bitcoin could lead to a drop in motivation to mining, which results will be large, and the monopolization of the volatility of growth cryptocurrency because Many miners deem unprofitable to keep enabled their computing power and go out of the game. Also falling profitability of mining and outflow of market participants may mean reducing the attractiveness of Bitcoin for investment and further popularization.

Such a reduction in the remuneration already occurred in November 2012. At that time, the price of Bitcoin was $ 13, and the particular influence on her event is not produced. Of course, while the Bitcoin was still not known to the general public. Shortly thereafter Bitcoin price has soared to $ 230.

I am 100% behind you on that one.... people might think selling on the high, will benefit them the most, but I think that would be their biggest mistake. A lot of cheaper coins are going to be going

around, just after the selling has been done. The price will go lower than what we have now, and then climb steadily above these prices. If you can buy after the dump phase, then you will be making

the biggest profits in the long run. Mark my words.  ::)

I’m a miner and I’m not really sure how this is going to affect me; all I know is that my pay is going to be halved and it’s going to be fixed again if the value in bitcoin increases. In preparation I’ve already made sure that my side business is running well so if anything doesn’t go as planned, at least I’ve got my plan B.

What do you mean by present rise in the price of bitcoin? The price has been stable at roughly $450 for almost 3 weeks now. And I don't see it rising anytime this month unless an event is triggered. That would be really good to see though.

I don't have any good idea of what will happen re BTC prices at and near The Halving.  However, it will be very instructive to watch.

There are a lot of confounding issues (hard to see how they interact)...


jak1

Please keep us informed!  I read very little from miners, your feedback is of great interest.


LiteCoinGuy

Well, we'll see!  You've made perhaps the biggest bull case yet.  Your graphic reminds me of Zero Hedge's famed (and lamented departed one) Gordon_Gekko who once wrote:

"Everything else will be left behind when the Gold Mothership takes off."

Hey, if it's Bitcoin, that's good too!

Guys how can we predict when will be the best moment to sell after the halving? Because people may want to hold for longer than it's actually needed and a lot of opportunities to sell for nice profit may be missed. How do we determine how much of a price increase is enough to dump our stash? Any tips are appreciated thank you.

Post by: Pursuer on May 18, 2016, 06:45:39 AM
the hype is real with this one :)

the amount of hype I see just because of halving is so big and I am sure that will cause a lot of shakeouts by the whales even small shakeouts and then there will be a big rise coming to bitcoin.

and for the brace myself part, I am well accumulated investor. so I am not worried about anything because I thought ahead.

The most people are hoping that the halving will be nice to us but we cant control it and that is the bad thing of the Bitcoin because Bitcoin itself is a currency so that is really bad.
But they have to know that it can also takes a long time until the value will be more worth so we need also to wait a longer time.

Personally, I'm not bothered about price. I see cyrpto as a replacement for fiat sooner or later, so fiat price is unimportant if it's going to be extinct anyway...... ;)

Yeah, but the extinction will happen not as soon as many of us wish. ) Maybe in 20 or in 30 years from now, but in the nearest future fiat and crypto will be coexisting.
Maybe. But it's highly unlikely because the government wouldn't be able to control the flow of money within their 'territory' if that happens. Bitcoin may replace fiat if the government is able to manipulate and control the supply. So far, I don't see btc will replace fiat.

I’m all kind of new to this whole  concept; why does the bitcoin have to half every four years. I mean does the price of gold half after a certain period of time? Someone please explain. I actually want to go into the mining bitcoin business so that I can passively earn some bitcoin while I do some occupation that I’ve always dreamed of doing.

One of the ideas behind bitcoin is to create a digital asset which goes against inflation- a deflationary model. Limited supply + gradual decrease in supply will eventually make the value to bitcoin to go up- against inflation!

Many traders expect a sharp jump rate Halving immediately before or immediately after it. Is there a reason for this? Like any anticipated event, it has to be "played out" in advance, and it is possible that the current growth in the number is due to preparations for the reduction of emission of Bitcoin.

Don't forget that's just the mining reward which is halving... I've read somewhere that this part is only 8 % of the annual increasing value of BTC.

Concerning mining business, don't expect a good reward if BTC doesn't increase AND MAINTAIN it's value for a long time.
Imagine : what if BTC is reaching 1000 $ in july and 400 $ in september ? Do you think it's wiser to invest in mining stuff and being stuck for a long time ?
Or buy directly BTC and sell IF (and only IF) the price turns back ?   ???

agreed!!! its quite ingenious that nakamoto thought of this, but i think the side effect of this is the constant
fluctuation of the price. im sure all currency fluctuate but btc`s price fluctuation is quite troublesome specially
to those who wants to invest huge amount. im not very familiar how btc works but this is what i thought why
btc price is constantly fluctuating.

you should be caring about xmas more than the halving date.

If you dont know why, then you need do some research, as it seems the OP has done none.

You may see a bubble or two around the halving date but thats just speculative traders and unless you are actually day trading it is nothing compared to what we need to focus on which is 6 months post halving date.

and it is very likely trading platforms with chop down the leverage (most now only offer 10:1 anyway which is crap)
and the spread will likely become huge, as it has done in the past (i have seen over $20 spread on many occasion)

Ah yes, we can only hope for the best that the demand is kept stable or rises. Looking forward to a price increase is what im hoping for; I just hope the mining sector isn’t affect much. and halving is the best part of it

XMas? Are you talking about when the price surge happened after the last halving?
The past is not a very good indicator of what is going to happen in the future.

In my oppinon it`s better to step out and watch what will happen  ;)
There is too many thoughts and speculation around halving. Keep calm.

besides, prepare your plan B, even plan C until Z because we don't know what will happen after halving.

but that's right. don't think too much about halving because it doesn't think of you LOL. kidding.

When we crush the 500 resistance in the next hours we will finally prove that the halvening is very real. All the doubters will have to deal with it and get in the winning team before it's too late. I guess some people will never learn and will keep waiting forever for Bitcoin to crash tho.

He he, good to remember that I predicted the 500 resistance being crushed when a lot of people were skeptic and saying that I was delusional to think 500 would be beaten with that ease. Well, guess what, we have beaten 500 resistance, and we have build a very solid floor above 500, the uptrend is very real now, only those that are still in denial stage aren't aware of this by now.
