im going to try to buy a beer in the first block

will add a hefty fee to make sure it gets through

as we draw closer to the halving ive noticed a distinct drop in anti-bitcoin threads

seems like going against the tide is not worth their time or effort for now

naw they are just pumping ethereum now imho

49 days from halving..still going sideways....consistency......(silly miner hobby I have)

yeah they say we need the price to double or some big miners are gonna 'get out' and likely have their IPO investors eat it (hint: knc)

IF we don't see the 'anticipated' price jump in BTC price.

It's the final countdown . Hopefully, everything should go as should be . (Price increase + no panic selling => everyone is happy) .
Our future is on the hands on the miners at the moment . If they don't stop mining we are fine .

I don't expect we will see huge price increase right after halving will hit us. It won't be sudden price spike and 100% increase as many people believe it to be.
Market will react slowly and will correct itself slowly, it will take couple months or maybe even more for us too see real impact of halving.

Electricity costs next to nothing in some parts of the world, people know to rig electricity meters. The big miners will not be switching off. Arguably it'd be a good thing if smaller scale miners gave up as it just limits supply of couns even more = higher prices.

prices are so inflated for miners how could they possibly be struggling to turn a profit

its short time,just 1 month later,its time to buy?or stay calm with take cofee and watching bitcoin price movement?
i dont think people will exicted in first day or first week halving,and exchange will maintance maybe,anyone agree with me?

we have found a feedback loop miners should be wary about

when the halving occurs, equipment prices decrease and

mining power surges with a leap in network strength futher

diluting mining returns, most likely this guarentees a

big jump in btc price, because the negative effects on

mining is actually greater than 50%

If you want to earn good profits from bitcoin then you need to wait for next few months of halving, as price will go much higher after halving.

 lot of the big miner farms like KNC built on the assumption that BTC prices could never fall below $650 usd. They also bet on 'cloud hosting mining'

So yeah with 1/2 the payout in BTC and the same power and expenses a few could  pull the plug if the price of BTC does not significantly rise to compensate

If we all try to become famous by getting in the halving block their will be a price explosion

my mining fee is going to be big im not missing out on this,  site should also get ready

for an incredible surge in traffic

We can't be 100% sure with what is a about to come after halving. I am just feeling excited and anticipating. Hopefully, it will just be the same as the first halving. :)

It there will be panic sell it gonna happen in next 2 - 3 weeks. Later of course slowly and stable price growth.. ;)

I do not think there will be panic sell or panic buy. If the price drops below $400, I will buy a lot of it.

Since may people speculate that bitcoin surely will increase it's value when it reach halving.
Hope it reach more than $ 1000 / btc


You're putting your faith on bitcoin forever  :)

yeah, now it is time to celebrate and not to flame  8)

I'm also eagerly awaiting the second halving. A lot of Bitcoiners seem to think that the halving will lead to immediate price increases. Personally I'm quite skeptical: Since everybody knows about the effect of the halving it should be already priced in. Nonetheless it's somehow exciting to see an algorithm at work that generates immediate financial consequences.

So for me the halving is first and foremost a great opportunity to simply celebrate the birth of Bitcoin with a beer or two... :)

ya.ya.yo!

nothing will happen at the halving, at this point i'm expecting something major later this year or even early 2017

or 2020 - after the halving is before the halving  :P

You can celebrate on Bitcoin pizza day too.  :)
You don't need a reason to drink beer!!

panic sell in next 2 to 3 weeks hahaha  :D

yep u just made me realize they own a tonne of bitcoin

I guess I kinda assumed this ie traders ,, but now we know for sure

I also though it might have been fiat printers though we can rule this

out now, it's just increased my forecast of higher halving prices

since whales don't traditionally dump excessively  and exchanges have to be

careful of leverage

:)

I don't think they will stop mining at this point of time this is the time that they want to mine non stop because after this they will take a good rest after all these years but I am sure they will redirect their equipment to ine some other coin..

Only 49 days are left in halving and the bitcoin price has again gone back to less than $450. I wonder what will happen on halving ?
Will the price will rise as per the expectation to $1000 or we all be disappointed this time. No one has clue now what is gonna happen.

Last halving price exploded

If we have a wave of panic selling idiots, it will still be good news to anyone with an intelligent (aka long term) stance on Bitcoin. It just means we get to buy Bitcoin at a discount.

If everything goes as expected, then it's just relax and hold as your wealth goes up.

Can't lose with team Bitcoin.

About two more week until we see first price movements. I expect $600 just after the halving.

to me it seems like rational exuberance the release rate is halving after all

That's why we need to prepare for the halving, as you know the time goes fast. If you not prepare enough til the halving, you may regret later.

and remember literally every thing is a scam besides Bitcoin

and Litecoin  :P

-----

last time the BTC price went from 8 to 13 USD (roughly) before the event and 4 months later it was at 260 USD. not bad.

The first Halving were not that impressive, so I would rather see a price, sky rocket building up to the Halving. The ETH pumpers has made it easier for us to buy cheaper coins now, and we can make even

bigger profits now, if we can buy very low.  ;D I just hope the price do not drop too low, because it will be hard for the people who bought at a higher price to re-coop their losses. There are still people who

bought at $800 - $1000 and they might be still waiting to break even, since then.  ::)

Everybody exited , everybody waitign and hope that profit is real. I am also waiting for it and counting every day till halving comes.

Expectations of who?

heh my 'expectaions of halving' sideways in price.....btc LOVES sideways......don't ya know..which if you think of it still is not tragic in that 1/2 the amount of coin you can
make just went 'poof' but your mining expenses and equip you previously purchased etc etc stay the same. ;) So hell it floats I guess under that view :)

Lets see how the price will behave 1 week before halving :>

Obviously if supply and demand mean anything, the shortage of supply would increase the demand. But there are so many other factors here.. miners selling some bitcoins they had put aside to face the shortage? Declining interest in bitcoin compared to Ether? Or maybe an increase in interest due to media coverage?
We will see, but I don't expect any immediate and sudden reaction to the halving.

Yeah nothing is really happening as far as price action goes, and it's actually moved down just recently.   I do think a lot of the money thatmight be used to support bitcoin is being used to speculate in eth, lisk, and some other hot altcoins.  The whole shebang is a fairly small market and there's definitely a limited amount of money that's being invested.

This will make mining centralized to big miners, i think multiple small miners should continue mining if we like to limit the supply and see rise in price. Even the current price will be profitable for big miners so they will not hold rather sell just after mining block.

it's still far to start flying maybe the price of bitcoin would be start rise 15 days left before halving except the price can break $500 in this month maybe we will see the price of bitcoin flying high.

It is going going to be interesting to see where it all goes with the halving.

We might see some interesting and biggest changes on the price of btc..whether it will go up or it will go down..
cause nobody has proven that bitcoin prices increases when halving takes place

Yes, I agree. No doubt it will go one way or the other.  Either based on the fear it might go down , or less supply of it. Interesting times we live in.

the best part when bitcoin halving has started is ,everyone of us who has bitcoin has a big smile on our faces..i cant wait to see it.

People are starting to doubt the possibility of bitcoin's value spiking by the time of the halving, which is, I'm not sure whether if it's good or bad. Bad, because most of the people have invested and expected a rise, good, because the price is stable. It has better and larger room for adoption.

I think this time price and demand expectation are already priced in to the market rate. I agree with a few sentiments above: sideways.

Wait you can rig your electricity meter to get free electricity while mining? But how can you cover the thousands of kilowatts that the mining hardware is pulling from the grid? Does this trick really work in practice? I imagine you can't just stop the electricity meter from working 24/7 as this would look very suspicious to the electricity company lol.

Miners stopping does not limit the supply in any way, as if blocks are solved on average every 10 minutes, new coins are still being minted throughout that time, it just changes who they go to.

Any  anyone can rig their meter, its just getting caught that's the problem. Some of the older meters you could slow down with magnets or somehow stop the thing turning. Or tap into the wiring before the meter (risky)

Of course, this is illegal to do and I don't endorse it.

I also expect a good amount of volatility during the last days before the block halving.

I'm not really a trader myself but I will most definitely do some trading to benefit from the heavy price swings.

I am eagerly waiting for this day and I am 100% sure other folks are waiting too I have not collected a lot of money since I am a student but still I have stored 0.3bitcoins on my xold storage hope I can make atleast 80% growth on my money during this block halving.I don't belive on god grace so I am gonna fully dependable.on myself during full halving periods . I will keep an eye on alp the possible exchanges as soon as price.reaches my expectations I will start my trading to expand my profits

80% profit in 2 months is not going to happen. I am not sure from which price you bought but at best i do expect a rise to maybe 500 dollar.
Everything else is just hope and will turn out to be a bad dream. Make sure to hold longer and your chance to get more profit will grow.

yes,we can't wait what will biggest effect of bitcoin halving,its always interesting to wait something that have been wait since some years ago.
bitcoin price might be one of major news when halving come.

I feel the same and unless there is some big controversy like last year we had the auction, we could expect nothing positive this year as well. 2016 is half over and may be by December, we can expect a rise and fall.

Is it really true that the halving is going to start over 49 days because I am not sure if it is going to happen. If the halving is going to start then the price is going to be cheaper I believe. This is better for the people that want to invest more and and not have much money to spend.

Yes, actually bringing the price down prior to halving is also possible if wanted by the whales so that even if it goes to double due to the effect of halving then the price wont be too high.

We can't say it blankly. At least a small impact will occur over bitcoin price on halving. After this if the technology permits we could see a gradual increase that might reach a higher value when it reaches near to December.

No one knows exactly what will happen when will comes halving. Investors do not like situations like this, so I foresee that in the near future the price of Bitcoin will fall .. not much, but i don't expect growth in next 2 - 3 weeks.

the following halving day will be longer or even shorter, depends on people paying the fee. i am not sure if there are a major effect of bitcoin halving, because demand is not based on GH active, you know. centralization will not give a decent effect to bitcoin.

Halving just means that the block reward gets cut in half.That's it!!And this will happen!!
Anything else you are talking is pure price speculation.
If we assume that demand stays the same and only 1800 coins get new created each day we will see a price increase over the long run.
And your last sentence is pure nonsense. People who really want to invest in Bitcoin will do so whenever they can.
But again you are talking about speculation!!Buy as cheap as you can and maybe sell for a bit more profit.Speculation and an investment are two different things.

Beside the block halving and perhaps a very short lasting price increase due to the block size being increased, nothing interesting will happen the rest of this year and next year.

I think it would not have had any effect if the demand is not enlarged. bitcoin amount will not be reduced in the 15 days prior. may effect the price will be higher after the number of bitcoin reduced or after halving occurs. it is most likely to occur

as expected, but dont worry the more closer we are to the halving, the more anti-bitcoin threads you will find, those you only think that the halving will have not impact at all, are by far closer to the reality, bitcoin creator did it for one reason...and people will notice it soon.

this halving is surely a milestone in the bitcoin history especially since it is the second time that it is going to happen, that makes it super interesting. if I remember correctly last time there were some sort of small celebrations here and there that bitcoin users held on their own on the time of halving (you can find the topic here easily) that seems like a good idea to do a similar thing here and also announce it on social medias like reddit/r/bitcoin.

I'm managing my expectations as to what effect halving will have on the price of bitcoin. As we are nearing July, are we going to see more volatility or is the price going to stabilize? If so, at what level? At this moment, we are all just speculating while waiting for the event to take place.

yup its almost time, but its kinda  a let down considering bitcoins price
has been dropping this past few days i was expecting a slow price hike
because of the halving hype, but i guess its not having any effect.

The price drop is partially because of this whole ETH hype. Once ETH price tanks, which I am sure it will do after the DAO sale is over, BTC will probably return. I can still profit after the halving as I am mining scrypt and and real time BTC conversions by proxy to avoid this problem, as the next litecoin halving is not for ages. Investing in a BTC ASIC might be folly at the moment, I dont think BTC price will rise instantly* after the halving but in steady steps I think, this is going to see at least temporary the income of most miners cut in half for a while.

based on the fact that pump occur with a higher probability in the late part of the year(2013 with 1200 ath, 2015 with the return to 500 etc...) i'm fairly certain that something will happen within this year, no expecting crazy thign like 2k or more

but something around a pump to reach 500-1k range is very possible

you have been long enough into bitcoin to know how markets works and you still think it's possible to reach $1000 this year? how so? if you are looking at the current market from a realistic point of view, then even $600 might be out of reach.

You may be right but if a goo d hype is created in media about bitcoin just few days before halving,it can push up prices to new high

The most people are hoping that the halving will be good and that is because there are still a lot of people that is using Bitcoin so that wont be that nice.
But you also have to know that there will be more people that is going to use it.

look at the timing funelling investors into a complete joke

scam wateva u want to call it, somehow they will try to

convince them they lost billions because of Bitcoin

Maybe the halving will come a bit sooner.
I just saw the recent spike in the hash rate. :o
Some miners continue gearing up.Pretty exciting.

http://fs5.directupload.net/images/160523/6l5bihcn.jpg (http://www.directupload.net)

20% spike in 1 day far out

Upward trend has emerged on BTCE is it appearing

on any of the other exchanges :)

It's most likely one or more Chinese pools turning up their hardware a notch.

Interesting thing is that while exchanges as Bitfinex and Bitstamp reached a low of $435, Chinese exchange giants didn't go lower than $442.9.

Craig Wright´s quantum miner! I´am bamboozled by this.

this is getting more and more exciting as we get closer to the halving. although i think halving is just going to be an even (a big one) for bitcoin and the effect on the price as the speculators are saying will come after a little while not just as the halving happens. it can even take a month or so.

Yes, of course it is time to fly with your's bitcoins.
Best of luck, we will see who get profit from halving. But also this it make be difficult, because i m afraid about the race of the bitcoins.
Because on halving day most of the people want to sell their bitcoins, so when alot of the people do this something will be wrong that the price of bitcoin may be come down. So what we will do on that time. May be i m wrong, but best of luck Halving.

I wish price will rise high on halving

I just don't want the price to fall. If it stays stable I'm fine if it's rising, well what else can make me happy.

It ll go up, no doubt there. Just follow the situation during the last 30 days or so.

I hope it does. I really should stop spending my bitcoins  :D

i've just grabed a few more bitcoins for $439. only up from here

Yeah this looks like to be the bottom.
In a few months or weeks the value will definitely be higher imo.
If I would have left some spare money I'd have done the same.

I cant wait. I'm just curious to see what happens. I don't even own that much.

You shouldn't stop spending. Just buy more back immediately after spending. This will maintain your holding and also promote the bitcoin economy.

The recent movements in the market have basically confirmed, for me, that there were some whales manipulating the market because they got their most recent paycheck or capital injection, and wanted to buy more coins for cheap. If there really was a dump looming, the value wouldn't be moving back up past $440 like it is.

Etereum pumping occurs only when the price of bitcoin goes a little down but whenever the bitcoin price increases the ethereum goes down back, so at the time of halving ethereum will come to lowest value and everyone will then go for bitcoin.

That is not all that long ways away from now if you think about it. The price just keeps jumping around so much lately that is it hard to know if it safe to buy or just wait it out for a little bit more before buying just when the halving starts.

Halving is a known event, and most already prepared for it. I dont expect much price difference. Maybe small spike for a moment (the last minute new comers to btc) , and then dump from those who expected price increase on halving.

Hoping for the price to increase. Have been holding my bitcoins now for 2-3 months now, expecting some huge rise but any amount of rise will be fine with me  :D

Some miners dont know how to hedge against price swings, lets hope they understand

what the halving means  :D

I also hope the price will increase too, i also has hold the bitcoin since i heard threre will be halving, got a big expectations in this halving

its intrinsicly deflationary here is how many bitcoins u neded to buy 1

USD in 2010 approximately

5000

and today 2016

0.002

by 2020

0.00000001

we will not know what effect after halving occurs all possibilities can happen. prices rise or prices fall. hopefully after the price rise. the price will not be too fall to down due to panic selling mass

i dont think the halving is for real how would you people know exactly when its coming and when the double comes. I dont think we could know that the only thing we can now is that the bitcoin is getting many times popular

49 for days for the until the halving is this really going to happen? Time is really flying by the halving is a good thing because it attracts allot of media attention which can lead to more Bitcoin users. 

that's wise,i agree with that,we will not care about price rising,its not make me sad or panic,but if price fall so deep,its bad news,and everyone willpanic at the moment,while many people tak about price rising and hold bitcoin until halving,i just sat down and take my cigarrete.

Yes, only 47 days left now and halving is Good for Bitcoin Users. But what i fear is that this time we may not get the expected reward as the price of bitcoin is now started to decrease again, instead of rising. I wonder what will gonna happen in next one and a half month. I wish i am wrong but the current decrease in price is not good for those who are willing to see bitcoins at 1000$ again.

that is the reason why the price is going down it is a shakeout, panic sellers will be shaken out of the market and what is left is in the pocket of the big whales who were creating the panic in the first place. then there will be a rise and those panic sellers will now buy at higher prices.

If indeed it is true, then I will do the same thing and I will support your next Idea. Something that can be used and but is it true ..?? or is this just an approximate ..? /

As much as I would love for the price to skyrocket I don't think it's gonna happen, the current more or less stable trend will probably continue. That said, the market will definitely be a lot more tense than usual, everyone will be monitoring the price, panic selling/buying is not off the cards. So it is definitely possible that we experience some spikes.

what you are talking about, besides spamming no-sense? halving is real yes it is hard coded in the code, it cannot be removed at will without consensus and with an hard fork

it will happen in less than two month, and it will wreck the miners if the diff keep increase by then

I think it might go up a tad in the short term (around 1-2 weeks before) just from hype maybe give or take 5%. Over time though as long as buying and selling habits stay the same as well as the number of transactions/users keeps going up we will see the price rise.

it think the rise during the halving period because of hype is going to be small.

but the real rise which would also be much bigger will come a while after the halving maybe even 1 month after.

the hype is so real with block halving and it looks like it is only getting bigger and bigger as we get closer to the halving itself.

i just hope this hype gets some result in the following two three months and gives us good profit!

Its real because a Billion dollars worth of mininers are losing 50% of productivity

They will come out of the woodwork when the price doesn't spike up immediately at the halving. They will say, "See? The price didn't go up with the halving, therefore bitcoin price will crash. Sell all now! Bitcoin is dead. Blah, blah, blah..."

yes that will happen when halving come,miners are losing 50% of productivity,but i wondering how this can give bad effect to bitcoin exchange?or miners are panic and sell their bitcoin to market,and this will make bitcoin price not more expensive,but cheaper?

because he has no clue about it  ;)

i would bet that the halving will happen soon  :P

I've been thinking the same lately. Probably not much sudden increase to be expected. A slow rise, with a small spike here or there, maybe. On the other hand, the recent slow drop was totally unexpected by me. ;)

Regards,
Me

LoL! Yeah that could really happen!
But I think many of us here expect the real impact in terms of price to happen with a delay of a few months and not exactly when reward gets cut in half the first day.
Let them do their parade if they really need it I say! :D

if you have held back from several months ago actually you can buy bitcoin at a price of $380 and you can sell it at a price of $465. because it happened at that time if you save a lot of bitcoin then you'll be a big profit. but it depends on you to hold up to halving. hopefully this gives you a great advantage

The most people are hoping that the halving will be nice for us and that is because you also can see now that there are a lot of people that is holding now around this time.
And that is because it was already stable for a long time so the time must be soon for a higher value.

Given the wholesale rape murder and slaughter of Autumn Radtke

it's very obvious how extrememly valuable Bitcoin is,

If you hold for a few more weeks, you can actually sell for $540 now. But it is still better to hold now.

Time is really flying which means that the halving is going to happen soon. It is not clear when it exactly is going to happen and that is why I have to pay much attention to Bitcoin know.

I've always thought it would of been better if the block rewards reduced more slowly, say every few weeks by a small amount.

yes the time is coming nearer. i think it is still the best time invest. i dont know what will happen after halving. i thing no one has still the clear idea that where will the price will be stable after halving.

and every day feeling more and more exited!!
icant wait to see the price after two-thre weeks when the hlfing happens

The halving time is approaching, but the pump shows signs that it is weakening, but in the other hand it might be a maneuver to make people panic sell before another big rise.

Now I don't know what to do

It is amazing how far we've come!

The halving is very near now and as you can see price has already started to climb high. It is about to cross 800$ anytime sooner . Everyones eager to wait for the halving and see what will be the price of bitcoin at that time.

can you explain that what is halving any why is the rate raising at that time. and what will happend after halving please.

Because the miners want a motive ($) to mining +plus Hype = Bitcoin Jupiter.

I'm also excited for the price if it will continue to rise or not but now i'm just thinking positive and hoping that the price will reach up to $1k per piece so everyone will be happy :).

Well, get your bitcoins while you still can!

Halving is a huge hype in the community, definitely the one that we actually really needed. Where the price will go to nobody knows but we know for sure that the price will go up even further from current levels :P

Yes and we are moving positively towards it so we can see much better and higher price  at the time of halving so its really smart to hold coins for halving.

I dont think its the best time to invest when price is at 750$. I think its best time to  save the bitcoins no matter what the amount , you have collected till yet and wait for halving and then sell at the Maximum price.

But if you think , the price is higher than $750 when you buy it someday. Why not?
You can buy bitcoin this time , and hold it for longer time . For make good interest.

Yeah we need to farm and harvest bitcoin as much as we can before it's too late because after halving it will be more harder to use (bitcoin users) to farm bitcoin like what we are able to do now.

it might drop also, you dont know if alot of people will sell after the gain and invest in other things.

Let's hope halving lives up to it's expectations. I'm curious as to how it's gonna affect the market.

21 days until then to the moon.

And now its only 21 days  before halving, lets hope for good  thing about this and I'm sure this halving will affect  a big one for the bitcoin world and especially the market. But as what more people expect the value of bitcoin will reach its highest point these year  I hope it will happen ;D

I think the price is definetly going to increase.. maybe not in the first few weeks.. it might even drop in this timeframe..
But afterwards its going to rise

So far it has. At least that's how I look at the current price. I was already happy with the price reaching $600 and now it's sitting far above $700 which is fantastic of course. ;D

the halving is getting closer and closer. i just cant wait :D

This is precisely the time that people feared. when halving increasingly come. perhaps there will be many sites to be a scam. because they stole a number of bitcoin then sell. and when halving ends. I'm afraid if the price drops very deep
hopefully it does not happen

The price will definitely drop as soon as the block halving has been completed.

Right now it's mainly the hype and excitement around the block halving that is driving the price to these levels.

It's more than normal that everything will come down as there is not much anymore to aim for as people see the block halving as "the happening of the year".

Can someone explain why the halving is necessary? Why is it designed so halve every x years?

Some people saying price will be increased may be doubled...already bitcoin price increased a lot recently..some say it will go down..just have to wait and see what changes that brings to bitcoin price

The decreasing-supply algorithm (Halving) was chosen because it approximates the rate at which commodities like gold are mined. (Finite supply currency)

And it's done every 210,000 blocks, or approximately 4 years.

People say so many things about helving some of people say bitcoin price will rise  so much and some of people say halving is started and because of bitcoin price is rising  and some of people say halving time didnt start  ? which one is true i dont know but there are almost three weeks we will see what will happen to bitcoin

Somebody offering multiplication lol http://pastebin.com/9MRVDC9h

Interesting will be the changes in price of Bitmains S9 miners. Im pretty sure it the price is also "halving" within the next few months  ;)

Its almost 18 days from now, and i feel that it is super near, But the bitcoin price has reduced yesterday. But it would fly up again in bitcoin halving

Have a look at the chart from today  :)
Down, down and down it goes!

this price dump isn't permanent, another pump will start soon to take it to $900 before end of this month

I hope it will happen soon. But, looking the price of bitcoin now, it's really scary though. Huge down today and it will hard to make the price increase again.

I think the price of Bitcoin will top out at around $800 after the halving in the best case scenario because this will be almost a 100% increase considering the starting price was around $400-$450. I was hoping we would see a price of upwards $1000 but I fear this won't be the case after the halving but perhaps we will reach that milestone in the winter or early next year. We need to be positive and keep on holding our coins in order to avoid a panic sell and the imminent crash of the Bitcoin market.

The most people are hoping that the value will jump in the halving and that is because you have to know that the value of Bitcoin already started to rise so that is perfect.
But it will be hard to know what will happen in the halving because it is almost impossible to predict Bitcoin.

Today i read that predictions of price after halving are even up to $3000 .. with this dumps i'm not sure..

To be honest, i will be happy if till December Bitcoin price will reach $1000 ;)

$3,000 sounds way to insane.

Time is flying but the price isn't, I'm a bit surprised a bit today when i saw that the bitcoin price has been decreased for -$90 which isn't a small amount. Don't know if is the right moment to sell but things are going bad, the charts now have become all red.

Exactly, but I think you should not sell now, but you should wait for some more time, as majority of users have a feeling that price will again start to rise as we get near to halving.

Well,it's 19 days to halving now and BTC has corrected 10% from the high. It's going to be pretty exciting and nerve-wracking to watch the vol over the next 3 weeks

The value is continuously dropping though. I'm not sure if this is because bitfinex because that's what statistics are saying. Bitfinex contributed to the plunge of bitcoin value. Well, I do hope that the price would go back up to ~$750 again. That'd be really great.

$900 and beyond!!!

Sadly, the price of bitcoin have a huge down until now. I don't know is the price of bitcoin can reach $900 or not. I hope the bitcoin's price can incease soon.

we are waiting bitcoin price will increase when bitcoin halving time coming almost  but bitcoin price going down and price fall too strong i bought some bitcoin 5 days ago but now i have lost my money it is realy bad .

Yes, but after halving time. because from The DAO cases make ETH holder is getting a panic selling and this give an effect for bitcoin, I think this have a relationship.

It's alright just hold your bitcoin because i'm sure that it will rise soon because many users will buy bitcoin because it's cheaper now than before. And if many users will buy more bitcoins it will result for price increase and you can recover your money. Don't panic and don't mind that price drop because everything will be alright soon :D.

im making .014 aday via cloudmining, so in 11days its going to drop down to .007 aday??

The law of supply and demand is always at work. The huge demand from the Chinese made the price go up real quick. We are now seeing a bit of a downtrend the last week. I am not sure whether this are all related to the upcoming halving, and whether the price would act like crazy when we are just a week or two away from halving. That is something to look forward to.

Its  definitely interesting to see the price go places and the halv-happening will surely increase the going of places of bitcoin.

It's just people and bots panicking because of the Bitfinex event. It should rebound soon if I'm not mistaken.



Maybe. It's the cloud miner's decision.

Halving halving and halving..We are all very excited for the halving..You know these days even when I go to bed,I just think about the halving..I cant wait more..Let the halving be priced in soon..

Progressive "resource depletion" attracts investors, many of whom believe that the course will grow only because of the complexity of mining. Thus is formed a steady demand, which is even more warm market, and the rate increases much more active than would have to grow under normal conditions.
Most likely, in the near future Bitcoin exchange rate will continue to rise, because now the factors that trigger the growth rate are very strong.

I am already happy if we still manage to reach the much waited for $800 price level. We were just $10-$15 away from reaching it, but it didn't happen.


Yup. And with the increasing difficulty it will most likely be less than that.

I don't understand what the big deal about the halving is and why it would increase the price so much. I believe around 3000 bitcoins are mined per day and over 70% have already been mined. I don't think that it decreasing to around 1500 a day will have any effect on the price. There are only 21million coins, and 14million are already out there. I feel like most of the coins being "bought" have been around for a while

You do not need to worry about, the events of this time would provide a very positive impact and profitable for us. Because it's also coupled by the increasing new BTC users, and that is definitely giving a very positive effects for the increase or price BTC. See price BTC over $ 1 k

It's unlikely going to happen because there's a sudden drump on the coin that happened last day and it still going down slowly today. It is indeed not a goodnews for bitcoin community but we should also be aware that the price increase is not a reason of a real demand but just a manipulation of Chinese investors that hold bitcoins til the halving event hype is around.

Exactly price is going down at a moment, and I don't think touching $900 will be easy now, it will take time and may be we can see that price at halving.

According to many analyst we have seen the ATH of this year already at 775 USD. The chance that this price will revive is very slim to 0. Which is not too bad.
Seeign bitcoin alive again is a goal we should appreciate.

Starting april 2014 the price only went 1 drection. down...

Every traders are a lot more excited and happy to this halving. They know a lot in terms of suppy and demand.
Just hoping that bitcoin will not fall so low, as many people here I too believe bitcoin will give us more than what we expect.

Some bitcoin traders are not happy in this upcoming halving. They are worried about their investment in cloud mining sites, because there are rumors that the mining site may stop their process of mining with the reduced block rewards due to running cost and profit managing.

that's right,lower reward mean lower fiat equivalent to btc,the thing I worried is if all of miner moving to mine an altcoin,bitcoin will become lack of network which result bottleneck

In a few months, not yet though.  After halving.

I think this just for a while like us have prediction before halving the price would goes down for once or twice and in the beginning of july price would start increase again.

My original thoughts were that the price increase would happen after the halfing like it did last time,  that's why i was surprised about the pump we had for the past few weeks.  I'm still expecting at least a small increase at some point after the halfing.  It would actually be nice if we could drop down a wee  bit before then just to get a few more bits.

Yes the price will start increasing in the opening of july because many users will buy and hold their coins for the incoming bitcoin halving event but i think that after halving and after the price reaches $900-1k per piece it will have a massive drop again because i believe many users will sell their coins to secure their profits. It's just my POV.

The price will fly above 2000$ , ok wishful thinking but who knows  :D

As of now a lot of traders are happy if they trade their bitcoins when it reach more than 700$ and some are not happy because they wait until it reaches a thousand bucks but didn't happen yet, same here just hoping it will not drop lower than 500$ again.

So as per your perdition price has started going down. and there are now only 17 days left for halving.  So we wait to see when the final boost will start.

As of now bitcoin is trading with a bounce back at 600$+ I think it will cross $900 price levels before the end of June month and still we have time to stock some more bitcoins before the halving and I plan start saving some more bitcoins before it is too late.

i cant understand what happen to bitcoin price nowadays the price is so much changing halving time nears and Prices rebounded again after a fall but I can not guess what will happen tomorrow till halving time i wish price will be hight because alot of people wants it too

For the halving a price of around 500 is enough for miners to keep mining with profit. With the difficulty increase it may come up to 550.
The extra price rise can be considered as a bonus, and i do treat it as a bonus.

chinas economy, brexit, halving... bitcoin has everything to moon in next weeks.
we might see 900 before halving and way more later.

What do you mean? those beer drinking beer or my application? .

Yeah price moved today a bit and now again stuck at $655, no idea what will be the scenario tomorrow, but I am hoping to see more price rise in coming days to due to halving.

I like your optimism, fingers crossed but lets wait & see. Brexit certainly should help, the British Pound sunk to an 85 year low I think, crazy. 

Price will improve and get better as we move towards the halving, as price is climbing up slowly now, so we can expect some good and higher price at halving.

i think you might be right to be honest because of that the price might surely jump  in the near future to be honest, there were a lot of events that will significantly push the price up

only 15 days left till halving, i think we will soon start seeing pretty big price growths that will allow us all to make some significant profit and i hope that more and more people will be interested in it

The halving price as showed off already around the 800 dollars should be the next value of bitcoin,but we are soo close now.This will be the year of make insane profit and bitcoin mature and starting to recover power it has losted in the past.

i think that after the halving the price is going to fall a lot in my opinion because a lot of people will sell their bitcoins in order to make as much profit as possible in a really fast time

i think that the price of the bitcoin is going to increase in something like 2 weeks from now because people will start buying their coins really soon in order to jump in and make profit

Many things are happening now like today brexit which crashed the british pound and also affected the other currencies and about bitcoin it was a good thing by increasing it price a bit after a long crash recently, the halving is pretty near 2-3 weeks and hope the price to reach $800-$900 soon.

It would be really a satisfactory moment to see if price touches that price at halving, as price is moving up now and that is a positive indication that price will go higher at halving.

The month of July is the one to watch out for. This is when halving take place and it is also when bitcoin price with cross $1000 Mark. So everyday after July 1st is important and trader will have a close eye on the price to make the decision of when to sell to get maximize profit out of it. Also the price of bitcoin will see its lowest valve in the month of july also as selling pressure will make the price down significantly.

though i doubt that this will happen because people seem to sell a lot of bitcoins at the moment

still some time to go till halving but i think that we will reach a new all time high pretty soon because of that

Price has stuck between the price of $650-660 today, but we can hope that will start rising as we get closer to the halving, and I feel we will see some best price of bitcoin at this halving.

As of now, im mainly just looking forward to seeing what happens to the price of bitcoin when the halfing comes and what the miners do. if tons of miners leave, im interested to see what that brings for the btc price.  :P

Not sure about the miners, but if you ask me about the price of bitcoin at halving then I am confident that will see all time high price at that point as price has started to rise again since yesterday.

in fact now about 15 days away, but there was no apparent effect of halving, even the prices are likely to decline ???

Can someone tell me when halving should be? about?

Please correct me if I am mistaken but didn't the Bitcoin halving already finish. If it hasn't the price is unusually high at the moment. I bought my goodies already.  :)

Bitcoin halving didnt start yet.. but were getting closer and closer as the day past.
Two or three weeks before the halving will start.. and good for cause your now have ticket to the bitcoin halving.

Halving will happen on the month of july where the block rewards of the miners will be half from 25 to 12.5 and the mining difficulty will increase and it will result for miners to take more time to just mine bitcoin and also it will make the stocks fewer. But the good thing is the price of bitcoin will be higher than now and it has a chance to reach $1k per piece or more. So it's advisable to collect and save some bitcoin as much as we can, so we can enjoy our profits after halving.

I don't understand why the price would fall? If halving is approaching, doesnt it mean that there will be less bitcoins?

Well,visits on this site
http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/
and try to understand about it with reading some or a lot of post on this topic it's will give you more knowledge about halving.

It is now only 14 days and 21 hours. I am so excited for halving as it is one of the most anticipated events in a long time for Bitcoin. I hope that the price goes up a lot and I am also going to make a transaction and hope it goes into the first block after the reward halving.

I'm sure the price of bitcoin will increase so high when the halving come. 2 days ago the bitcoin's price is going down but today the price of bitcoin increase again.

How depressed would you be if the price of Bitcoin halved with the halvening as well? :D

It is said that in connection with the award for Halving produced unit, miners lose their enthusiasm and interest in connection with the inability to get a good profit, as all goes to pay for services and energy.

"When it comes to halve the cost of electricity remains the same, and therefore, they will have to stop production. Thus, if the mining equipment can only discourage electricity costs, it does not work "(c)

Halving the eve of the awards for mining investors probably push the price up to network capacity does not drop much when Halving happen.

Not depressed at all actually, that is a rare scenario to happen, but it might happen as well, we all here think the price of bitcoin after halving will go up or even skyrocket. Still I would not be depressed at all if the price of bitcoin after the halving can be 50% of today value, actually that would be a very good time to buy bitcoin. I am not depressed as I keep bitcoin as a store value investment so I am not that much affected by the bitcoin price, what I am interested is to increase the number of my bitcoin as much as I can.

What happens if the BTC price doesnt rise and it is not proffitable for miners to mine? They will quit and the BTC network gets insecure?

but so far the price is again on another rising for the 700 again. in this case mining could simply go on as useuelly and the price simply increases after halving a little more,, we will see ;)

the miner will move to altcoin and bitcoin network will slower and slower so many unconfirmed transaction will make a queue and bottleneck will happen
miner is the most important thing in blockchain system

difficulty will decrease :) i would mine all of them :D

Yes. and i can't wait for the halving because i stock my bitcoins here in my wallet and it's just waiting for halving to come.

Its just an matter of sometime now, we have been waiting for this even since long time, and now we are very near to hit so we should hold our coins till that point to make good profits from it.

Bitcoin is not going down dude, as of now it is back to 620$ per 1 bitcoin. I think before the month ends the price will grow higher than we expected. We have only few days before the halving starts and that is enough time to save some bitcoins to make more profits.

Yeah save bitcoins now or cry after halving. For me it's also the best option to save and collect bitcoins as much as we can and just for the price to reach our expectations so that we can sell our coins and make good profits. But we need to remember that we need to be smart also because anything can happen, we don't need to be confident that the price will continue to rise because the price of bitcoin is only depending the users, So for me: Don't expect too much because if you do it will result for you to be sad. It's just my reminder and suggestion :D.

We are almost there comrades, let's hodl together and we will make it. More and more and more mainstream media is starting to report on Bitcoin being the ultimate safe haven, surpassing gold in performance. WE will be the kings of the universe if we hold long term.

the miners will love bitcoin more, they will not leave bitcoin as the price of bitcoin will double up and the half reward will not affect the miners as they will get a doubled value bitcoins.

and the miners will also have big piles of bitcoins in their wallets so when the halving will occur an the price will increase they will also earn a good profit, so they also favor bitcoin.

Yes that's true, in fact everybody nowadays is talking about Bitcoin as it's price is increasing highly even before the expected halving. So i think that holding the coins is the best decision right now.

Yeah i also holding my coins and even though the price fall just a bit in the past few weeks. I don't do panic selling because i think that it's just natural and i take advantage of that to buy more bitcoin ;D. So now i'm continue holding my coin and hoping for the price to reach about $1k per bitcoin or more so that i can secure my profits and i will use my profits to buy the things that i want :).

Why does everyone want to sell short after the halving?
Halving means less "new" bitcoins so inflation will be halving, wich will make BTC price grow "over time".

we are hearing the news for last so many days. is there a fixed date of halving? I personally have no idea about and I want to conform that on what day halving I s expecting. so that we make our self ready for that.

Reward-Drop ETA date: 10 Jul 2016 00:00:17

Right. As the halving is nearing very closure, the wallet should be filled with BTC. Earning BTC from this forum. Reading more threads to know the ways to earn more money. Hope the value gets increasing or stays stable to this level at least. Cheers..

Are you dumb?
The price doesn't double instantly as soon as the reward halves. In fact, it won't double at all for a while after that unless other external and unrelated factors affect it. All that will happen is that the reward halves and maybe in a while we'll see a slow increase.
Besides, we've already felt the effects of the event upon us. Leading up to the halving, there's hype that causes buy orders.

Its a worried situation now, halving is near and price is not moving up, it again has started to go down, so I don't think halving will fulfill our expectations.

The price keeps going volatile as the halving comes closer. People are expecting the price would reach 1000$ at the time of halving, but looking at the price right now, I'm not sure it will reach that value.
But, I might be wrong, because bitcoin price is unpredictable. Let's see what would happen next. :D

Halving is yet to take place, whether near or far.
Not important whether the price goes up currently or not, it is going to rise in the future. So, don't worry.

You just said it, price keeps on fluctuating and unpredicatable so the bottom line is, we can't based what will going to happen in bitcoin price if we are only looking at the current price.

And because price volatility in bitcoin is active, expect more large margin of price movement in bitcoin price. In here, we must to take closely the price monitoring in order to ride every possible trend.

Yeah just believe that bitcoin will rise again above 700 or 800 value and i think this week we will see more increase..
So lets hope that the price will increase this week..

We need to take an advantage of price volatility to make quick profits, price is not going higher at a moment but soon it will start rising, so buying some coins now is also an good idea.

I think that nobody recommend to sell the bitcoin now, it is not a right moment, neither the price is good [it was better last week(s)], the price today has been dropped for 30 dollars and don't know how long will this go but hope the halving will increase its price.

Can't wait to see what happens when the day comes.

Yup lets hope so as it is really difficult to predict whether price will go higher or lower at halving, and now it has become confusing either to hold or sell at current price.

Exactly applicable for those who doesn't hold for a long term but instead taking a ride every price trend.

Buying coins at the current price isn't a wrong move, at least if we are to based with the expected future price trend. Same scene like this are present last $500 or evern at $400 where these prices are considered high by most of the people community so they hesitate to buy coins back the.

i cant say price will increase or decrease tommorow. On one day the bitcoin prices increases by 100$ and on the next day it decreases by 50$. This has been happening for a week now and i am unable to make any forecasting  :(

I thought there will be a big peak or a big dump, but i forgot a third option, nothing happens :)

I don't think many thought of that third option of being part of the halving scenario.  :-\
Shame really for a lot of people had spent a fair bit in buying beforehand thinking the price would explode but it fizzled a couple of weeks before then dropped and it is at what we are at now.
Kinda disappointing really.

Not really disappointing,  we where sitting at below £300 for long enough and then it rallied all the way to to £500 where its now sitting pretty strong at.  I doubt we will drop too much further and a stable bitcoin will allow more investors to put their trust in it.  It will go up eventually.

One thing is sure and no one noticed last year at December bitcoin were traded from 250-300 dollars, in January bitcoin reached 400-450 dollars without anything happen besides the halving moment. Soo people were dreaming with bigger ammount but this new value is realistic, bitcoin has doubled and has a strong support at the almost 700 dollars that is the next step to achieve.

Well, it's pretty (pardon the use of word) stupid for people to think that the price would suddenly jump or suddenly fluctuate to a dramatic extent.
Looking back at the first halving, it took about two months for the price to actually double. So I guess it is only fair that we wait and see what happens. Let's give it time.

Could not resist


1452 days till the next BTC halving (6.25 BTC) (ouch!) on about July 7th 2020 :)

http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/ (http://www.bitcoinblockhalf.com/)

sheesh!

It is growing back very high and increasing. Do you think the price will be $ 1,000 / 1 btc ??

I'm sure as halving what will happen later in 2020 will be very influential in significant price increases due to be honest if the results of the current halving is very depressing.

a week after halving the price of bitcoin occur and there is absolutely no change. This is one of the scariest things. all the dreams and expectations ever dreamed would not seem to happen.

boring is good...sideways is good...means no one is dumping ...everyone is still holding.....thus eventually adoption is going to move the price up because no one is selling

(or so my hopeful delusion goes)

remember

2013 oct 150 usd btc

2014 (after crash) 250 btc

2015 say about 350 btc

2016 650 btc


if this was a 'stock' moving like this we'd be frigging 'ecstatic' imho

the thing can plod along nicely in a slow growth manner/sideways manner without bubbles ...thank you very much ...... so trudge along price we are pulling for ya!

Most times speculation is the other of the day leaving out the reality which is the forces of demand and supply (the market forces) which goes a long way in determining whether price will increase or decrease as things Dont just go white and black... Its a lesson for everyone though... My 2 cents

It has long term effect and we should think it as on macro level. There is absolutely no change after halving but that’s not the period to judge the effects of halving. We will see it till mid of next year (2017) and we might see some huge and quick fluctuations till that time. I have strong opinion that bitcoin will start moving upwards (towards real value of it) only after these fluctuations. There will be golden chance during fluctuations for those who want to enter in bitcoin at lower levels. We would see effects of halving on a large timeline.

Nothing happened. It did not reach $1000 or even close to that.  :-[
It dropped right before down to $618. Which was a shock to most people who bought a lot just days before.

That's three separate threads from earlier in the year about the halving you've just bumped/necroed.  And that's just the ones I've spotted.  What are you playing at?  It's going to be confusing for newer forum members if they see lots of discussions about old news and are mistakenly led to believe it's happening now.
