Bitcoin Forum

Hello community; in 2019 maybe we have a mixed feeling….. As you know, we started this year near about 3K then (almost) 14K gradually and now the price is just above 7k! Personally, I am not sad on the current price. On the other hand, really excited to see the response of the retail as well as institutional players on 2020 Halving year!

What’s your expectation on 2020 Halving year? Feel free to share your ideas & opinions.

My expectation is that people will continue to post price speculation topics outside of the Speculation board (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=57.0), where they would be much better suited.   :P

In fact, there's already a topic about the halving here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5208637.0), so perhaps consider locking this topic and using that one instead.

My expectations is bitcoin will have more volitile price and bitcoin price will posible dump to 5,000$ to 5,500$.  Becuase of the fuds that i th i think will spread next your to force some newbie ans weak hands to sell all thier hold bitcoins..

So that big investors or so called will have tha chance to buy chepear price of bitcoins.

My expectations are the same as expectations from majory of crypto investorr. Big pump would be nice

Well what I know is halving was supposed to increase the price but at the end we could really see nothing major when it happened and the price actually decreased , first I had huge expectations but now I don't think it would be that affective .
It would just be a normal event in which instead of going up it can even go down quickly therefore I won't say anything just yet , let's see what happens.
Hoping for the best though.

So fucking funny  ;D It is as if you know what the crypto investment major are expecting? All their expectations and all their calculations are beyond our expectation, the sharks is always trying to capture the market, and you think you know what they expect? Only sharks know what they are thinking. Personally, I expect bitcoin to grow strongly next year. Just like that.

I don’t have much in the way of expectations for 2020. I believe Q4 2021 will be what everyone has been waiting for.

I wish that's what will happen to, during and after the halving. I mean a lot of people are expecting a good bump of bitcoin's price after it, so we just need to patient and see what's gonna happen at that time. Because, as we know the demand of bitcoin will increase and that will influence the price, so it will increase too.

No more expectations as it always leads to disappointment and moreover we just need to make moves based on current market situation to secure for future instead of expecting because we never know when the market can be manipulated and all our expectations might ruin since there are so many whales eagerly waiting to make use of momentum for their gain.

I don't expect much this coming 2020 even if there's a halving because i know halving won't have a major effect in the market this year. I am expecting more in 2021 instead about of the halving if how much would be the cost of bitcoin during that time when a bull market starts to set.

My expectations is not so high.I think price will be stable in 15-16K. Like now price is stable in 6.8k$ to 7.2K$.I am expecting that altcoins will go up.     

The only expectation that i have this halving in the upcoming year of 2020 is that bitcoin will have a big pump that all of our losses will gain back, that is why i don't sell my bitcoins until it reaches it's price up to 20k USD again. But i am also expecting that bitcoin will increase it's price much higher to 20 k.

The entire Bitcoin ecosystem and its market  can't be really be predicted considering the patterns at which the market value of Bitcoin has changed throughout the ten years of its existence. Its always better to keep and have an open mind for 2020. There are a lot of  possible  for the year 2020.

In fact bitcoin price this year was not that high compare to what it is before.  There is a big dump happen and I get sad on the first place because my balance in my wallet fall as well.  But now I also see it as an opportunity for this coming 2020. I expect that this year bitcoin will rise again as it happened last year. 

As the chart says, 2021 is what we gotta wait.

At least I hope 2020 would be better than this year, more stable and less fear in the market to enjoy this wonderful life. Expecting to have more time with beloved ones, have beautiful days and hot tea while waiting 2021 to come.

As like everyone expect steven i want bacon to reach some decent value in the marketplace. India future Bitcoin price will fluctuate at the same time some days price will grow to certain level.
Acid trip to user we need to utilise the situation and we can buy the Bitcoins when Bitcoin price is low and sells it when it goes high.

Big dump? You really have no clue what you are talking about...

The price just went up after many investors moved to another exchange, get informed first then discuss properly on the topic.


As for me i do know expectations will be higher than ever since halving will become even shorter from previous one therefore price will increase by sum valuable amount as available coins will drop even more.
Making the transactions more slower due to higher demand over requests.

My expectations is also everyone's expectation on 2020 halving year is bitcoin will finally increased it's price or reach it's price again up to $20,000 for us to recover all of our losses in the year of 2018. I also think that if bitcoin increased it's price again, there is a possibility that altcoins will increase it's price too, so it will be a great gift for everyone of us.

To be honest expecting the price to double within that short period of time (halving) is quite big expectation actually. we're struggling even to break past $10k and that automatically makes 15K even harder as of now even people are not expecting that much from this halving event anyway because it doesnt have significant change to bitcoin except the block reward.

My expectation is more of the same. There may be a return to low-mid five figures at some point but nothing too dramatic. I think it'll end the year pretty respectably and only start flexing some muscle well into 2021.

This is normal for the market. Weak players sell; strong players buy. This always happens, like a decrease in the price of Bitcoin during a bear market. I also think that the price will reach $5k

My expectation is not much different from most people in this forum, hoping that the price of bitcoin can pump in 2020. Even if you look at the
conditions the market now is a little disappointing. Indeed, in terms of analysis and research I have done, it is likely that bitcoin will be a  big
pump in 2020 very small, because after halving occurs there will be an increase in prices and in 2021 there is actually a chance of a big pump
for bitcoin. But even though the opportunity is very small I really hope that there will be a miracle in 2020 that bitcoin can at least rise to $ 20,000.

I don't want to have high hopes either. But will still be on top of the game following the updates and all and see what I can do to earn a lil bit of income from this situation. Even if the increase may not be too high, but I hope it will be higher than our current price.

My expectation for it is that event would be great for the Bitcoin price it would drive the demand and price for Bitcoin.
I don't expect too much like another ATH because of it but it would get the price way more higher than it is right now.

Yes, of course there will be lots of speculation from many people from this thread. :D In the future, we hope that the speculation we make does not make the people who read it feel disadvantaged afterwards. Halving is a big thing for Bitcoin and Miners. Surely there will be interesting things after halving.

The expectations are quite positive, because despite the ups and downs that have occurred in this year 2019, cryptocurrencies have been expanding and it is expected that by 2020 growth will be accelerated for both Bitcoin and other new projects, the amount of Cryptocurrencies have grown incredibly and those projects are looking for a position in the market, many will get it in the year 2020.

I think that the bottom was reached at 3k and we'll gradually go up from here. When a price hits certain level and bounces back to where it came from like it did at 6400 it indicates a strong bottom, so just like 3k was the bottom after the high of 20k 6k is the bottom after the high of 14k we had this year. We'll keep taking higher lows in 2020. The next bubble after the halving. Maybe in Winter of 2020?

There are many posts that I keep seeing about the halving. The experts says that it will lead to bitcoin to reach the moon where it can beat it previous all time high. I do not easily believe in someone claims because for me fundamental and sentimental analysis are not effective. I only rely on technical analysis because it is the analysis that is effective to me.

I think most bitcoin holders hope that by 2020 bitcoin can pump up to $ 15,000. Hopefully after bitcoin is reduced by half in May 2020 bitcoin then pumps and makes the altcoin market green again. the last two years altcoin has decreased dramatically. I hope 2020 is a good year for cryptocurrency.
and I also hope that in 2020 more and more countries or companies will want and adopt bitcoin and blockchain technology.

Halving is a process that will limit the creation of bitcoin. And this, not a general thing, because this is specified in Bitcoin's whitepaper. This is the 3rd halving of Bitcoins occurring in the coming 2020. Day by day many new users are entering into the bitcoin payment network system which is also included other altcoins too.

The world is entering into the new era of economics and finance. Of course, considering the current price of Bitcoin, the overall market conditions, rising demand, and the future, Bitcoin will certainly hit a new high.

many experts talk like this that when the price of bitcoin takes half the price there will be a possibility of a higher price jump than the previous price. if it really happens then many people will be happy because they can benefit but we really cannot easily believe and have to keep doing their own research to prove it

But that's very risky. What if didn't go that way after you buy? Are you ready to wait for a long long time? Because right now there's still no feeling about crypto's increase in price. Are going to risk your money without improvement?

In the other hand, maybe thing work well and bitcoin will make a sudden increase in price because of a new year. Based on the graph, on the mid year the prices goes high and at the end it still have a downward movement

Day by day it's getting a disappointing issue for me like many people, I have nothing expectation to this price trend anymore because already several times we have faced price discrimination, Who knows the factor of ups and downs of the Bitcoin price, some people talk about the mining cost is the responsibility to get high and low the Bitcoin price, Some are saying the manipulation of this price trend and so on, So our speculation will not bring anything special to this Bitcoin price trend, Honestly saying that, 2019 was the worst year in my cryptocurrency career, Hopefully, 2020 will bring a good impact for me.

Looks the same what happen last end year on 2018 where bitcoin keep down after faced new year in 2019, maybe the same moment with bitcoin keep with lower price in new year 2020. Just my opinion depend what happen with last year and bitcoin always have the same price every year, maybe when bitcoin halving day close can make bitcoin have higher price.

Of course the expectations of the people on the coming halving on the year 2020 must bring a good and big impact to the market price or the market flow so that we will be having a good market than this year 2019 and recover the losses that we experience right now. I think the manipulation of the big whales to the market flow doesn't have any affect about it.
I am expecting a huge impact to the coming halving because there are a lot of predictions and speculations on the what would probably may happen on the market after and before the halving but we must always remember that this are all speculations and predictions by different people.

in my opinion almost all crypto users would expect the price to rise, because that is the goal of many people investing in crypto, surely they want to see their assets continue to grow, hopefully this time is a positive trend.

yeah, with time that goes on. bitcoin adoption and blockchain technology continues to grow. making bitcoin very unstable. because of the great influence of adoption. bitcoin is not calm right now. like being yourself. and that makes bitcoin unpredictable. I hope that in 2020 bitcoin will be increasingly recognized by all people in the world.

end of 2018 yesterday we experienced a sharp fall in prices until January under $ 3500 and after that the price of play above $ 3500 right below $ 4000 until April 2019 began to move above $ 4000 until June to reach $ 14000, so we re-repeat the price at the end of this year people panicked and screaming prices will fall again under $ 3000 like a fool who is late buying it hoping it happens again

we are still just a little lower right above $ 6000 or $ 5500 for the game and will continue to rise above $ 7000, it will continue to repeat until early next year, if early this year lows $ 3000 - $ 14000, so how do you imagine early next year if prices are low later only priced at $ 6000 - $ ?????? Until May on Halving, I would love to see this price continue to stabilize until early next year

If its like the last 2 halvings, during the halving event there won't be much action. In the last 2 halvings there was a movement right before and right after the halving dates. So I am assuming something similar.

It will trade sideways and maybe have a slight up slope during the halving but many many months after we will either hit new lows, lower than 2018 or hit new highs higher than 2017.

I am worried because most likely there will be too many retail people out there who will think "BTC has to go up because there will be less supply" so instead of buying BTC on spot they will just go 10x on a futures exchange and set their stop where everybody else has put their stop and set off a cascade of sell-offs and create a new low in 2020.

Keep in mind, when too many people are bullish its never a good thing. Look what happened in November 2018. Too many people were expected November to be a bullish month like it always was in the past and instead the unthinkable happened and we got a nasty surprise.

My expectation in this coming bitcoin halving is to see a great price just like what we have seen in the last halving. But, we should not expect too much because not all our expectations will happen especially on the price of bitcoin. All people who have bitcoin always expect for the better and rising price but, can we really see a better price on this coming halving, I hope so!. We just need to wait and try not to expect that after halving the price will start to rise instantly.

I would not expecting high next year. Even though on the paper this year's price is not good as well but like you said that the price is actually better than Q1 2019 so if we are looking at the market's graph and predict next year price so I think it would be good as well and its peak would be at halving day.

of course my hope in 2020 is that bitcoin can pump after being reduced by half. and reach the price of $ 20,000
but if we look at the history of bitcoin in the past years. bitcoin will only pump up a year after halving. meaning bitcoin will pump high by 2021 so I think we have to wait even longer.
and we also have to be ready if by 2021 bitcoin doesn't pump as we wish. because bitcoin is not necessarily all the possibilities can occur in bitcoin.

I expected the bull market would happen in the next year because bitcoin will have the halving moment, which can trigger bitcoin price to the high price. I think if that happens, the altcoin will adjust the price to the new price, and at that moment, I think we will see another bull market as what we saw in 2017 ago. So we should prepare from now on, and we still have time to do that, while we can buy more coins at the market at a low price.

I expect a lot in 2020! I hope the electronics market will be stable and have a new breakthrough. Things won't fall apart, people won't have to worry about losing their money. I am participating in bonus campaigns, I hope to be charged. At the end of the year, you have money to buy Tet holiday. This is the best way I can make money. Invest all in Bitcoin to make a profit.

Halving made people have high expectation about it or maybe think price can be pumped. I think it can really happen if there are no problem comes with bitcoin. With a lot of people expect that bitcoin reach it's peak again on next halving, sometime make other really confident to hold bitcoin longer.

I think After the holidays and finally the Chinese new year, we will see a little pump, I doubt anything really significant, maybe similar to the highs we saw this year of around 15k because all the whales will want to make their profits once they dump it to around 5k which I think is coming very soon over the next 2 months holiday period. For most Bitcoin whales a x 2 or x 3 gain is all they need because they will then short it again on the Leverage futures sites, as they always do. They will never let it pump hugely like it did end of 2017. So only expect a double or triple gain, then another big dump down again, so load up at 5-6k sell at 12-15k, rinse and repeat. This will be the cycle coming for the next few years I think until we have some major upscale infrastructure laid out and bigger mass adoption. There are still so many people not aware of Bitcoin yet or not using it. What we need to do is tell more friends and family. I am now teaching my sister and my son to own Bitcoin and open wallets, so that's another 2 people in the fold.

I expect another pump, and quite possibly high enough to be comparable to that on 2017. I say so because there is quite evident true adoption on the market, and several news pop up stating various cryptocurrency adoption. And while it doesn't really pertain to Bitcoin specifically, it might still drive the prices up once these crypto-projects by various countries come to public, in time with the halving.

My expectation isn't too high like what I expect way back from the first halving. I expect back then that bitcoins price will immediately double and I was wrong. Year 2020s pump I'm just expecting a slight pump on bitcoins price in the later months after the halving and huge dump before the halving happen. Maybe be back at around 10-13k?

I guess, you bought around 13K maybe; but overall it’s not a bad year at all; till now we are more than double based on yearly starting price (of 2019).

When everyone is too optmistic about something, I usually afraid and cautious

Everyone is expecting BTC to hit and pass ATH, but I'm feeling that the scenario will be different, if BTC don't hit high prices, people will be disappointed and start to sell, this is my opinion

because they are hungry for the bull run   . few years have past and cryptos still didnt meet thier requirements so they still keep on believing that someday thier wish will come true  . disapointment is thier but not to the point that they will rebel and sell what they have just because they are disapointed because that will only make it worst  .  i dont believe that halving 2020 can give a bull run because my hopes were already tested before and it did failed me  . now im contented whatever the price will end up

Either way is a good opportunity. Although its hard to resist not to be worried but is it good when the price starts to rally upward and it's also good to buy when people starts to dump because the price will decrease. Its really hard to control your emotion while watching the market rise and fall.

Be sure, institutional players monitoring the market already; so there is no way only based on retail traders emotions!

no one can analyze correctly what about the situation in 2020 for the crypto state. because all what the analyst has done is not right and leads in the wrong direction. the most important thing right now is not to quickly carry out any transaction or action without proper analysis and there is no need to panic in responding to what happened because it will harm themselves. I hope that there will be a change in 2020 and it is true that your words should not be carried with emotion in response to the current situation.

The market is full of a test, it tests us how strong we believe in it and also how prepared we are. For many cases that investors had quit because they are out from their control, they are affected so much from a constant market change that they aren't able to understand it.

It is to believe and I think that the market will show the same as what we have now. We can't assure that halving will have a huge impact but we all are thinking for a positive response just like what happens in the previous halving. Though we are not able to see Bullrun again but looking at the current market price, I believe that Bitcoin is still healthy.

End of 2020 to 2021 would be the start of possible bullish run.

This is so true. This is the reason why I'm turning my back for most months of 2020 because everyone expects the same thing and this could be the advantage of whales because they have an idea what everyone is expecting for that year. And the same scenario in 2017 to 2018 might happen, from all time high to all time low.

Speaking of expectations, I hope that in that year I will have more than 1 bitcoin and 10 ethereum. when I had that, the price of bitcoin rose above $ 20k, and ethereum went back up to $ 1k. it's just that looking at the current situation, it seems difficult to achieve that expectation, even more so if at this time I don't have 1 bitcoin yet. however, I expect the best.

Many people expect that the price of bitcoin will increase if the halving successfully happen in 2020. My expectation is also like that but it is not exaggerated where people say it will be $30,000 and more per each. I just expect that maybe it can reached its previous all time high. I do not expect too much because there will be a consequences in my mentality if the reality did not meet to my expectations.

One thing that we all are ignoring here is the fact that the exchange rates have already increased by around 150% since April this year. Most of the increase could be attributed to the emergence of the Libra project, but the anticipation of the block reward halving also played a major part. Therefore my prediction is that any spike from the block reward halving will be more moderate, as a part of the bull run has already occurred.

I dont have any expectation for halving next year but I do hope the price will somehow change positively as many are predicting that halving can make the price increase like what happened in the past.

Whatever happens next year lets remain bullish and accept the outcome since no one can accurately predict the market situation after the halving.

The price of bitcoin in 2020 will make a big jump in my opinion. Anything after Halving. It's going to be a little harder to get to bitcoin now. The same is true for gold. Bitcoin is an accepted swap tool in the world! And now more restricted.

it will hit 20k above and that is when many people will buy and later drop and the late comers will start hating and calling scam.

In 2020, the price of bitcoin may rise to a new peak. Then again a big fall may come. I have been in this market for 3 years and this is happening constantly. I'm making plans based on these facts. I sell when I make a profit. I get it again when it falls.

Bitcoin ending 2019 with a price of over $ 7,000 is not too bad, it is still showing a positive trend for this market. I still remember in 2018 Bitcoin was only about $ 3100 and I thought everything had collapsed, but everything was still at an early stage. I believe that in 2020 Bitcoin will soon surpass ATH and reach 20k USD soon

I always think positively and strongly believe that the price of Bitcoin will rise very quickly when halving Bitcoin 2020 will come. Even many crypto experts predict Bitcoin to rise above $20 K.

halving is one of the event in bitcoin where the price increase
so i expect some price increase in the next halving
the lowest price i expect is x2 of the current price maybe around $14,000
the price increase is really reasonable when halving occurs because the block reward will decrease in half

You are a trader who is always looking for safety, it is better than greedy tradersYes the price is still playing there, if the price drops it will touch again at $ 6500 or $ 6000 as low as $ 5500 and bounce back above $ 7000, always like that so I prefer to see whales playing at that price, no matter what the news is because they don't will affect my analysis, $3100 in 2018 is the lowest and $ 6500 in 2019, I want to see surprises early next year, $ 20k in 2020 still looks cheap to me, lol

It still risky, i think we will suffer until 2022 but I hope not. It is not impossible for the bitcoin to bounce back on it downward movement. Maybe its price will soon reach $10000 USD again and don't stay at $6000 which is bad for us to hold.

We're glad if we see that the bitcoin exceed to our expectation. Like $15000 USD and above. If that happens, we will have feast and parties around the world and that sounds funny. Having that price im bitcoin will lead us to have a lot of profit

Why do you make two separate post in this thread? You can always opt to edit your post to avoid the thread from becoming a mega thread.

Anyway, the hype of Bitcoin halving may not happen on 2020. Base on the last two having from the past, Bitcoin tends to have reach new heights a year after the halving. Though the price may have a gradual gains while closely approaching in a span of 6 months before the halving. So, to make it short, bull run might happen on 2021.

I am also hoping for that but let's not be complacent and let's also consider the worst thing and let's prepare ourselves for this when this happened, we all know that crypto is volatile, and we all know that the whales knows what normal traders/holders are thinking so they can manipulate it once they saw that there are people wanting to buy more Bitcoin.

If following the previous halving I'm not sure the price will increase in 2020, but of course I hope that if the halving in this year the price can increase in the year where the halving happened.
of course I also expect prices to be above 10k or 2x at $15,000 and I hope it's stable until end of the year 2020, so I can trade altcoin and earn a lots of bitcoin for the new ATH in 2021.

Btcoin is so crazy nowadays that it is totally hard to speculate how it will be doing in 2020. I hope that Bitcoin would rise, but it's pretty obvious...Check out this channel on YT, CoinDeal's COO talks a lot about current situation on the market https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvg2metJsWiVXnT0bIOadvA (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvg2metJsWiVXnT0bIOadvA)

we really have to keep thinking about the bad things that happened, don't keep thinking about the best. therefore research becomes important here because in research we can find good or bad results. therefore ability becomes important, and hope is only the desire of all of us that will not necessarily happen

It will really be an exciting one since I have been reading a lot of different speculations here.
Some say the whales might be faking their non buying scheme for the halving and they will just sit and look.
Some are saying that the price will be down to 5k and then the pump afterwards.

A lot of emotions will be flowing in this forum after the halving or maybe even before.
Threads will be created again even if in the wrong discussion because of madness or the happiness of gaining a lot.  ;D

I don't want to expect that much but I expect really some progress. Its quite hard to expect but of course we all wanted the best price increase ever.  2020 halving year is a very promising year and everything we hope for may come true. Somehow, we must be also ready if there are worst things happen or lower price maybe. Its better to be ready at any situation it may come.

I hope halving 2020 will be like halving before, which is able to make bitcoin price rise. but history says when halving occurs in that year, prices will not immediately rise significantly, but the increase will occur in the next year. but of course, I think everyone's expectations are the same as the goal of wanting bitcoin price increase in 2020. I expect stable and alt season to come, so that I can recover my losses.

The history has shown that in the long-run it was profitable to hold Bitcoin during the halving's dip.

You are right, many people think positively about high rises, but not dump deep. we will never know whether it will always be the same as before. at least we must anticipate if there is a dump, so we are not surprised, like buying when it comes down. as much as possible always take advantage when prices increase.

I expect not quite a total changes in the market. May be a sideways changes in the market between 6k to 15k? May be higher or lower than that. In addition, halving is close enough significant changes happens usually a year after then. Furthermore, I expect an abrupt changes in 2021 typically may be the market would hit ATH once again or if fortunate may be a different level though.

i don't want to expect too high because i know that it is frustrating,but at least i am looking for 5 digit value again since the whole 3rd quarter of this year gives us 4 digits and still struggling today.

many says it will surpass the last ATH but for me?even half is enough to recover from my losses .

I am not expecting much of it too, I think this will be just like an ordinary halving for the past years that there's no great impact in the price of Bitcoin, for me the most awaited event is when China will fully adopt Bitcoin or other countries then that will be the time more users will trust more Bitcoin.

Yeah, I ve been expecting too much this year, that is why I dont expect that it will be happen next year in the first month, bitcoin price now is too low for a ATH, yes halving can affect bitcoin price , it could be up or dump, who knows right? we just need a perfect timing to buy and to sell the coins that we are holding for so long.

I expect the price to rise. But no one can say anything for sure. Of course, a very large bitcoin whale can talk about it. Everyone needs to take their position. Correct planning needs to be made. I'm getting ready for 2020.

these analyst words are not to be believed entirely anyway. it's basically the same as people who overly optimistic saying that the price will double without any reasoning. I've seen so much anaylst stating the wrong and by the time it proven they are wrong they vanish to oblivion with their analyzation even I though I think the price will hardly being pumped.

I expect that Bitcoin price will recover during the halving event.  I am not confident that it will break the current ATH but there is always a possibility.  If Bitcoin breaks ATH probably it will go as high as $25k and if not probably around $17k until a really good development come and it will record another ATH.

There is going to be an increase in the price of Bitcoin. I have already seen a lot of predictions and there’s one I strongly believe, can’t remember the name the of the guy that made that prediction, seems it’s Dave or something, but he once predicted that the price of Bitcoin will fall to $3000 and that happened six months after he made that prediction (on April this year). He made another prediction that the price will be going back and he gave reasons for it. There have also been other analysts that are in support of what he has said, while some are against it.

But, I strongly believe that the price will go up in 2020 before the halving, and it will continue to go up after the halving and likely we are going to hit another ATH price. Luckily I haven’t sold any BTC I bought, I have stored them up in my wallet and hardly check it out.

I am expecting more users or more demand this upcoming halving in year 2020, I am expecting that there will be people who will become more aware of it and will do their journey in the Bitcoin world, for the price, I am not expecting too much, but hoping that more adoption will continue to rise so that we can grow more.

My expectation about the price recovery in the aftermath of the halving is on the positive note as you rightly said however i am very optimistic that the price would break the last ATH and setting a new higher high price mark which might be above your predicted price however price correction would follows  the price after it had pumped thus opportunity to sell at ATH.

This's the largest issue at this time for the majority of the industry," stated Eyal Avramovich, chief executive of MineBest, a Warsaw based company which mines bitcoin.

The fracture on the generation of bitcoin offers a reminder of one reason the decentralised electronic currency has confounded acceptance and regulation by mainstream finance: Its fate stays linked to arcane technological factors. load more...

Yeah for the year 2020 after halving happened, actually hoping for the best for bitcoin. If for example bitcoin will go down after halving it's okay, as long as after that bitcoin will go up to the highest price, because if that happens then everyone will enjoy the benefits of bitcoin, and my bitcoin will increase. For certainty it is only a matter of time and prediction is only an analysis that is not necessarily the truth can be ascertained correctly.

I don't want to speculate and predict too much here, but I do consider halving as an essential way why bitcoin's market price is growing for years. So for me, the bitcoin halving's positive effect on the market might not be evident right a way, and might as well as in long term, but I am pretty sure that what will increase from time to time isn't just the current market price of bitcoin, but to consider the all time low that bitcoin is having, with this speculation I can infer that bitcoin's market price will continue to increase and no way it could be less valuable in the future years.

of course most people hope that there will be a recovery in the price of bitcoin, therefore, as much as possible before the market price rises sharply, take advantage of the opportunity now to be able to invest more in it, so that the preparation we do from now will not be in vain and can produce many benefits later if true in 2020 there will be an increase in the price of bitcoin

It is very pleasing that many investors come to the cryptocurrency and make investments in bitcoin. An increasing number of institutional investors are becoming, including just an investor in bitcoin. The graph shows that the arrival of institutional investors, more and more.

The halving will probably happen on 2020 of April. It might take effect after 1 year since thats what happen on the last halving before. I am just hoping that the price of bitcoin will rise up again like what happen on 2017 which is the peek of the success of bitcoin.

No it's May 20, 2020 based on article i read, 

I think bitcoin halving effect in 2020 in price of bitcoin will not just like before,  because many people now are eagerly to recover thier losses on the past dump,  especially those investors buy bitcoin on peak price in 2017.  I think bitcoin now will increase up to 13,000 dollars or 15,000 and bitcoin price will never reach again to 20,000$ like what happen before. 

Well, for next year halving year i have mixed feelings for Bitcoin, for me price is not a big deal but adoptaion is, and i think the next year is going to be a great year for bitcoin becuase supply is running out and awaness is spreading so it can bust up to the unkown price by mid or at the end of 2020.

Hope with new years will give bitcoin chance back to higher price above $16k, nothing most important with bitcoin without can't back with higher price because we only trust with bitcoin have many investor support with bitcoin keep exist with higher price, just need time when bitcoin can back with higher price and never back to lower price again.

im sure if bitcoin member expectation is have great value, but i know if they want to bitcoin is more popular, more people know and use about this, many store and service provide bitcoin payment. but there are many problem to face, and still do something good for bitcoin

I also expect a volatile price trend for 2020.
Normally, with halfing, prices go up. But I don't think that halfing alone, but other important things will play a big role.
But it will also depend on the mainstream and the news. But also which government regulations are coming to the crypto world.
Of course, the big investors like hedge funds or ETF and futures will play a role.
Overall, there will be an exciting new year 2020. I stay relaxed and will see what happens.

It is already volatile to begin with  ;D ;D

Of course, halving is not enough to just increase its price, it also needs the demand and if the government will enter the crypto space for regulation, it may bring positivity to crypto.

For now, yes the only thing we can do now is to relax and wait for it to come ;)

My expectation is not that high, because it is the same that I still don't have much funds to own more bitcoin but I am grateful that the price is much higher than what I thinking, like 15k or higher. we can expect that to happen in halving? maybe, like what we saw now the price is not that bad and everyone is getting ready for that event, so there is a higher chance that this will happen.

I knew after halving there will be some changes in the market and I think there will be a pump will occur but not sure if it will be an enormous pump that will more likely happen way back in the year of 2017. My expectations will be more likely around 10k-15 or more. Not exactly sure what will happen so better if we will buy for now while tokens are cheap before it became too late.

I personally always hope in the coming year that the price of bitcoin will rise to a high level compared to current prices, so that investors and the bitcoin community will smile again at the start of the new year.
and I also hope that in 2020 the government will allow people in this country to adopt cryptocurrency or bitcoin as a transaction tool to facilitate the community.

Most of the people are always speculating for the positive market vibes in the near future after the bitcoin halving has begun. For me, there is a slight fear that market price of bitcoin might fall and transaction processing might be poor when these miners turns out to be discouraged in the market. Because of the low payment they could receive for each block being created, they might quit on the industry and focus on different things, what would happen? Hashrate could fall and I really don't know yet the future when it comes.

I am not expecting much of a price rise because of the halving next year. Even the historic trends don't support the rationale of price skyrocketing after the halving. Halving has never brought a price rise just after it happened.
But this next year halving has opened the house for speculation though. The fomo will kick in near the 2020 end and that could lead to a price rise which will be short lived according to me. So if you want to take profits you can always go in btc near the halving and take out your investment just before it happens.

All I expect from 2020 is for the market to recover and grow, because for more than two years now the market has been in crisis and often at the bottom.

I'm sure everyone has the same hope, which is the rise of Bitcoin. including myself who hopes that Bitcoin can reach the new ATH. however, I am aware of what I learned from the previous halving in 2012, 2016 and forthcoming in 2020. if you look at the history of the year halving occurred the price of bitcoin did not increase so high, and only reached its highest price after the following year after halving. means that if we look at the coming year the highest increase is likely to occur in 2021. So I do not really hope that for 2020, the important thing is to get a profit first. after approaching 2021 I will buy it as much as I can

Just like other years after 2017, people will continue to speculate just like this your post also. My thought is that volatility to continue to be the major drawback and we may never see huge upsurge like 2017 again. ICO and altcoin will continue to crumble and there will continue to be a continuous rise in the ICO scam

Right now bitcoin halving is the only thing being discussed in the crypto community as it’s the only event that can bring bitcoin price revolution. Chances are rear that we see any price change immediately with coin halving. AFAIK it will result in higher transaction fee as less no of coins are generated every block.

If the bitcoin price halves, investors have a chance to buy. But I think that not everyone who is new to Bitcoin sees the price of bitcoin drop as fear of selling immediately. What if they also hold on to opportunities like us? So bitcoin will continue to rise, but I expect it will increase in 2020

The every 4 years event is the most awaited thing to happen this year, obviously because most of us wants to see bitcoin price above $10K again. Do you guys think thatbthe upcoming halving will still affect the price of bitcoin? Does the dominance of bitcoin plus the halving will surely bring the spice up? 2016 market is very different from now which I think can be the factor too. Hence I will hold more bitcoin than altcoin this year.

No one knows if it would give out such impact the same in the previous ones but high possibility that it would do the same thing.We cant just know yet on what are the levels of prices that we might see
either passing out previous ATH or would simply go below it but having a established sideway moves.

For now ive been preparing on what would happen.Either way i do still consider on hodling and accumulating as much as i can.

It was a bullish thing that happens last 2017. Halving could be of different effects on the market trend it may yes or not help to improve the market resistance and help it out from a long bearish season. Almost all of us here are too optimistic about the result and hoping that this will gonna save them from suffering big losses. I know it was hopeful but I don't want to expect more about this.

Bitcoin halving will be different this year , unlike the past halving were bitcoin soars to the top starting in 2017. Maybe now some already learn thier lesson from the past so it only tells bitcoin will reach $15k this year.

What do you mean by different this year? In terms of what?
If in the past halving, bitcoin rise to the top, and we already learned our lesson from that experience since it is expected that bitcoin will increase again, how come it becomes different? Is it because people already learned to keep on holding? That's why you expected that bitcoin will only reach $15k?

I think bitcoin could recover from this kind of dump we could experience a lot of resistance in the bitcoin market price but still in 2020 due to a lot of delays in the market I think we could safely say that bitcoin will recover slowly in 2020. A lot of news about bitcoin and getting influence surely the cryptocurrency and bitcoin community is getting bigger making increasing the demand of bitcoin.

That is what we are expecting. But remember, halving is not always having a result to increase the price of bitcoin. There is still a chance that this might become the reason for it to decrease its price. Even having a lot of resistance, this can be broken due to possible things to happen in a negative way.

I see, but as for me I wouldn't expect a really big bubble coming up even when the halving comes around. Say at least equal or lower to the 19k bitcoin price last 2017. Nevertheless I still expect huge gains come around even after the halving. Depending if people get too excited about this and pull their bitcoins off. But worse comes to worst, I'll say bitcoin might get huge dumps after the halving hype subsides.

Halving may increase price somewhat but not as much as some people expect...

While its true NEW bitcoin production will be halved, MOST demand of bitcoin is coming from the market. Most bitcoins have already been made, whats left is a tiny amount (3 million?) And those will come out slower and slower every 4 years, so slow most people will simply forget about them or their influence to price will tend to diminish as if they weren't there anyway. This is also why large scale mining is destined to end, only the hobbyists and those with free energy shall remain.

For this reason i think its logical for the price after halving to be something UNDER twice the market price. Miners WILL feel the pain, as they did in 2016 and many will just quit as well.

For holders there is nothing to worry, a slowdown in price increase is still a price increase. Besides, its not like fiats are slowing their 2% yearly inflation.

My expectations are actually kinda changing and am kind of disappointed in that. I think I should not just blindly believe in any stuff. Halving might prove to be a bull run or it can also cause major upside down because of miners leaving!

Halving moment is the most eagerly awaited. From the previous halving moment, we can know that the effect is quite dominant, the market is very profitable, the trading volume is increasing, it's easy to make profits without being trapped in extreme price changes due to many fake walls that suddenly collapse. My expectations, hopefully with this moment the price of BTC can have a positive influence on market trends in general, so that altcoin gets a good impact. This greatly affects various other activities relating to cryptocurrency, such as bounty campaigns. Hopefully, it can be a good start again after a long drought.

There is no way to know for sure.

Some will say according to history it will go way up after 7 months or something. Though no one seems to be able to explain the delay beyond it happens every time.

From an economics standpoint there really in not much reason it must go up. It comes down to what the few with the power to manipulate it decide to do or maybe the halving jump happened the first half of this year.

Someone i believe has a good grasp on things believes it will pump at halving so the big investors can take advantage of the hype surrounding it and then sell the ship out of it and take lot of real money off the table.

speculation will continue to occur, especially this year which is much talked about by articles or in a thread. the most important thing for me is to not trust fully about people's speculations but rather focus on the results of my research alone, because I prefer to use the right time to look for profits rather than having to continue to hope in a speculation.

I expect it will change the market into a bullish one, in fact I think it's already showing as this start of the year seems to be a bullish year.

We just touched to $9000 today, we are just in the first month and there's a big possibility that we will close to $10,000 this month.
if the trend will just continue going to the halving, we could possibly see higher than $13k which was the highest price last year as the hype could cause a rocket of price like what BSV has achieve recently.

i agree i also expect bullish market this year
because there will be a price correction before and after halving and the price is already moving
im not expecting a large increase but at least i think $14k will be the lowest after the price correction.

Nothing big will happen this year but I expect Bitcoin to again touch it's previous high of 17k before halving and then a major correction. Things are looking good with more than 22% increase in the price in the month of January. Expecting another Bull run this year.

My expectation is almost the same as the majority of people in this forum that is bitcoin can reach its peak price again, at least reach
price of $ 20k after halving happened. We have to admit this year opened very well with a rise in bitcoin and some altcoins. And
I hope the following month until halving occurs bitcoin can continue to rise and not go down again. Even if the price goes down
at least only a small correction.

We are now at the first month of this year 2020 in which we have already noticed and observed that the price of Bitcoin is going into the positive direction which is a good sign of improvement after a long time of down fall. It is expcted that after the Bitcoin halving the price of Bitcoin will undergo a recovery process in which the price will go into rise. But as of the moment, even the Bitcoin halving is  a couple of months to happen, Bitcoin price is already rising which means that we will expect more that after the halving takes into place, the price will even go higher bringing another suspected bull run for this year 2020. Not just Bitcoin enthusiast will benefit into this happening but also the Altcoin holders in which the Altcoins they do have are dependent into Bitcoin's price. I expect that Bitcoin halving this year will trigger a lot more better opportunities and great possibilities of having a prosperous year for cryptocurrency industry in year 2020.

first is this must be in Speculation section since this is related on those topic that might happen in future.

about the question is there are too many speculations but we must rely on our
instinct and trust in our currency Bitcoin is now near breaking the  $9,000 resistance as it was been there since couple days ago hope this weekend it will be hit and start another Hype before February comes.

I have seen a lot of speculations to the extent I’m tired of all these speculations, people never stop lol. I have seen people say that the same thing that happened before is never going to repeat itself while others, the majority, are saying that the same is likely to repeat itself and each of them have given their own reasons at why they believe such.

I just want to believe what I believe and that’s that the price will go up after the next halving. I ant be hoping for a decrease, if it’s a decrease then what do I gain? I have waited since 2018 till now, that’s a long time and I can’t come this far and give up, I’m still going to keep believing till the price goes. I’m going to wait till May 13th and see what happens after the halving. If there is no signs showing an increase is possible, then I have to make my decision.

I believe so. You know, sometimes great things happen unexpectedly and it might happen on the least we expect. Like we gonna be shock one morning when we check the CMC, we just drop our phone as the price drastically increase in just over night.  I actually missed that feeling way back in 2017.
Like I'm in owe for a moment.

However, all we can do now is to hold since some really hope that this upcoming halving will bring back the liveliness in the community.

I think we got to the bottom at 3k and we're going to gradually go up here. When a price hits some level and bounces back to where it came from as it did at 6400 it shows a strong bottom, so just like 3k was the bottom after the 20k 6k high is the bottom after the 14k high we had this year. In 2020, we will continue to take higher lows. Upon halving the next bubble. Maybe in 2020's winter..

I believe that the price should increase by about half. Many people say that something will happen that will push the price up. And I agree with that. It seems to me that this should be logical, after previous ups and downs...
