This halving was a lot of fun to experience, whether the price goes up/down doesn't matter
What matter is we witnessed history being made, 50 years from now this will be a monumental moment in bitcoins history

Just like the previous halving is a monumental moment? Nope, it's not. Nobody remembers what happens, and nobody cares.
It's all just part of Satoshi's (great) design, lowering Bitcoin inflation.

50 years from now when they teach kids in highschool about bitcoin it will be a very monumental flashback moment in history

just only very few people who even know if there's halvening before this halving today was become so popular and being discussed everywhere,and yeah,seems no one going to write down our name on history books of bitcoin

So far nothing significant happened and I expect nothing will happen. It is hard to link recent price surge from last month directly with halving.
It was most likely caused by stadard market fluctuation and Chinese speculators more than anything.

Halving is not a on/off switch for BTC price to skyrocket (you can see price charts from around previous halving) and market will slowly adapt.

You cannot compare that moment with the previous one since the number of users now is bigger by far, many old btctalkers stepped back in the scene but this event could stay memorable if a nice solid rise in the price will happens after it ;)

That's right see positive thinking

Back then, a bitcoin was worth a whole lot less than now.

I cant speak for all, but even on previous halving there was a bunch of us cheering and hoping for great things. And, yes, we did even then thought of it as
a historical date and event. I dont get why you're so grumpy. Guess different people see bitcoin with different eyes.

You're the only one who doesn't care about previous halvening. I do remember it.

these days halving is just like the bitcoin price when it was at 2010. i remember i saw 1 bitcoin for 50$ at that time and we can see 16 bitcoin per block reward thats pritty huge. after 50year when it will be lot lower than todays something like 0.001btc per block that time people will not bother for this but surely they will miss these days

What a fucking idiot.  lolololololol.  Like anyone would ever even mention it in school this week, let alone in 50 years. 

You are a disturbed and confused guy.  wtf? 

The next block is going to be history too.  And ten minutes later, that block will be history too. 

apart from being told your class-books cost X and your school sports teams jersey costs XX.. tell me anything your high school has taught you about the history of the dollar..

apart from being told your school uniform costs X and school photos cost X.. tell me anything your secondary school taught you about the history of the pound

Im not excited that the bitcoin halvig happened in the last hour, what can be momorizied in the bitcoin history is that f2 pool mined the 420,000th block and people who had a transaction on that block, also seeing the price youcan see the graph how changed dramatically.

And what's driving the Chinese and other speculators?   The halving.  And other stuff, of course,  but it definitely did have an effect.   I didn't expect anything,  so I'm cool with the pop we got.

I actually think the recent hike from last month is due to the coming halving.
The word is out about halving and that for the users to get a chance to invest and profit, they were buying before supply is going to run out due to halving.
But we'll see what will happen with 24hours.

Agree 100%.  Even though no fireworks on price it is an emerging technology and will shine like a bright star in the coming years.

In all seriousness a friend of mine have 1000 GHS in eobot cloud mining, he was making a bit more than 0.001 bitcoin per day, almost 0.002 bitcoin per day actually. Now I read that halving have already happened and I received a message from my friend complaining about the decrease in reward. He told me now his daily reward is 0.00029 bitcoin. I am off to tell him the real reason behind this. I am sorry for him, but it seems we need urgently the new generation of miners.

Great reply, i agree it will be forgot about pretty soon, the mining companies that go under because of the halving is a different matter

Jesus, I hope he didn't pay too much for that return.  What do you have to pay up front for less than $2/day in income?  Sig campaigns pay better and there's less risk.

it was fun but i can't say i'm incredibly stoked. it's not as if it was any type of surprise.

what is important is that the coin inflation rate is suddenly alot more modest and not too far off the stable major currencies. and it's only going down from here. people focus way too much on the price and not enough about how many new coins are generated every day.
