Bitcoin Forum

There are times I will sit down and think about bitcoin halving and when cryptocurrencies  will reach new all time high. The last time it happened was in 2017 for strong cryptocurrencies like bitcoin.

There are only 21 million btc to be mined. And, only  18,236,512 btc has been mined. Only 2,763,488 btc remaining.

I am just thinking that with the little remaining bitcoin, can the effect make the price of cryptocurrencies  to reach new all time high. It sounds impossible to me but I know that the price will increase but may not reach new all time high.

So, something not seen yet can be the reason why cryptocurrencies  can reach new all time high such as people anticipation. Like I am anticipating, I have invest in 0.4 btc. Some people will also do as I did.

The second thing that can cause it is the increase in the price. Some people that know how to analyze crypto market will still see that the price will increase and therefore invest and make the price to continue to increase.

The third thing I believe can make the price to increase are fomo people. They will see everyone investing and they will also invest for not to miss the great benefit.

This is what I think about cryptocurrencies  this year and next year because this process will extend to next year as I analyzed it. You people can also make contributions to know if we should invest more on cryptocurrencies  this year.

I think there is a possibility that it could make it reach the BTC's ATH.
But it seem's really low we still have more than 2 months before the halving and the price is still at $9K.
It would be hard to jump that high in a short period since people are more cautious on buying when there is an instant price increase.

I believe that the halving has already been factored into the price. There are other things that will push the price of Bitcoin to a new all time high.

It's a matter of speculation. But if you look at the past two halving incidents, we have seen increases in bitcoin's pricing before and after the halving. So it's realistic for us to speculate the same this time as well. But that's the best thing we can do - speculate! No one really knows what's going to happen in reality!

@Kuffy - I don't really think so! The current market pricing is well within the limit and halving has not yet been factored in. 9.5 grand is a realistic pricing for bitcoin!

It is possible,

Like @avikz said, as our previous experience in the past two halving, it has a positive effect on the price of bitcoin. It increases after the halving, and then we see that it reached its new ATH.

This scenario might happen again if the history will repeat itself. But then again, we can only think of the possibilities but there is no guarantee that this is really what will happen after halving.

I believe the scarcity of Bitcoin is one of the reasons people are mining BTC.

If the halving wouldn't result in the ATH of Bitcoin, miners would have no more interest in mining BTC anymore imo, unless they voluntarily want to sustain the network. But considering the electricity costs, I don't think they would voluntarily do it either.

Hence, I strongly believe ATH will have to hit soon or many will lose interest.. and it will happen because it's gonna take 2x longer to earn the same amount of BTC you earn today through mining.

To my opinion expectations from halving are too high.
Yes, it will bring some positive movements in the market and probably some price rise but more on a short term basis and not in so high range, don't expect that price will reach 20000$ again just because of halving. Anyway, it's hard to estimate what exactly is going to happen but some users with high expectations might end up disappointed.

the price may reach $20,000, but we cannot think that in 2017 the price reached $20,000 because of halving. In my opinion in 2017 the price reached $20,000 because of the division between bitcoin and bitcoin cash, many people wanted to have free coins with the division process. ICOs were excellent investments that yielded returns of more than 10x and then there was the announcement of the entry of the Futures in which most people thought that with the inflow of institutional money the price would rise on the moon. With halving the price will increase after a few months, maybe after December we will see the big price increase in my opinion

That is, in 2017 bitcoin could reach $ 20,000 because investing in ICO was very popular because of the sizeable returns and short sales so many people invested all of their money there and some other factors might be because of that the price of bitcoin could go up by $ 20,000.

Well, in recent years there have been many failures in the project, many dead coins, which have been on the bear market, continue to occur scamer where we only rely on halving, is it possible that it could redeem again to $ 20,000?

It has a tendency for the market price of Bitcoin to break new records but I am not certain whether same thing would happen for the price of other cryptos. If we would analyze, the moment where Bitcoin have reached its all time high before, same thing happened with the price of Ethereum and other altcoins. What makes this uncertain is that, there's no proof that their market value is aligned with one another, it could be a coincidence or for the fact that what happened influenced the demand towards other cryptos before.

Also, halving is directly towards Bitcoin so the outcome could be different from what happened before which is a bit exciting to know and stressing knowing that there are people who invested to other cryptos due to the anticipated price increase in Bitcoin that could again influence the price of other cryptos.

Predicting the future cost of the BTC is very difficult friend, this is very volatile, now it can be in 7k and tomorrow in 12k, as well as lowering to 4k in a few hours, although having a high price of the BTC is good to sell, you must also take advantage of buying when the price is low.

Of course, if I have much spare money this time I would definitely invest further because I do believe that btc will skyrocket again like what it did on 2017. It's fine with me if it is not on this year's bitcoin halving, I'm not bothered at all I'm willing to wait because I know profits are worth waiting for :).

In my opinion, we're still far from reaching ATH. I canfeel that the next bitcoin halving will bring greater improvements on the chart however wishing for it to  hit $20k is too much I guess :D.

Your other points are pretty laughable but this one should get an award for the dumbest explanation of why BTC is not going to reach new highs :D

In short, for those who don't want to read the quoted part:
He thinks that halving will make mining unprofitable and miners will mine faketoshi's scamcoin instead, just because of lower hashrate and bigger blocks.

Blocks and difficulty means nothing if the coin is barely worth anything and you can't earn a lot from transaction fees if there are almost no transactions.

I can see all miners switching to a centralized shitcoin owned in 70% by Calvin when the value of newly mined Bitcoins doubles...  You'd have to be a moron to do it.

You really make me laugh brother. :D :D I have no idea where did you get those point. It's true that assuming BTC prince in any situation is tough. But halving is hoping moment for investor, trader and holders. And if you see past halving result you can understand why this halving important for every crypto currency. Here (https://hackernoon.com/will-bitcoin-skyrocket-after-the-2020-halving-like-in-2016-b61c6568debb) some discuss about BTC price during halving which may give you some idea about it.

No, it will take more than bitcoin reward halving to set the entire crypto market over a bull run. Definitely $BTC will see a surge in price together with $ETH as it plans to launch its Proof of Stake network by the end of July. Other cryptocurrencies would also rise in price but this would be of working projects with good use cases and liquidity as well.

Unfortunately, it probably will lead to a global rally for all cryptocurrencies not just Bitcoin.

I personally don't think that Bitcoin should gain value in this way because it's not genuine growth.

Forcing value appreciation simply because of an even like this is a cop out really, and it will never be stable, hence why Bitcoin sees such crazy volatility.

Hopefully we see a slow and steady growth this time, so that it can be sustained rather than crash and dip periodically.

just wait for another mass world media shill. and the price will follow

The block reward halving has had positive long term effects on the price of bitcoin. There are many theories as to why this happens but the simplest reason is supply and demand.
When fewer bitcoins are being generated, this increased scarcity makes them more valuable.

one of the  reasons are

Bitmain
Canaan
Innosilicon
MicroBT
eBang


are have a vested interest it pushing coin price up to sell their gear.  At the current price of 9200  none of those companies will be selling a lot of gear once the

3x ½ ings  all hit  BTC, BSV, BCH

But  if all those coins rise at least 50 to 60%  those companies can sell some gear.

So I see the price of coin being driven upwards some time in the next six months.  Or some of those companies will go by by.

I also have doubts if bitcoin can really make $100k price because, if its continuesly converted to other form of currency for example fiat. Would that make bitcoin extinct ? and will be unable to go further and become adopted.
Also how can we reach the $100k price ? there should be atleast $10 trillion approximate money coming in, if it were to reach new ATH.
Cause right now it seems bitcoin is struggling to get adopted and Institutional investors doesn't want it and crypto investors are pouring there money in alts.

bitcoin Halving always showing Good about the Price of Bitcoin and with domino effect in altcoins generally the Top 50 currencies after Bitcoin.

having that i am sure that this year we are expecting another hype in which mostly people in crypto are looking for more than $20,000
hopefully we can achieve this at least before this year aends?

I think that Bitcoin still has its potential, and it definitely will reach ATH at some point within the next couple of years (5 maximum). However, I don't think it will bring other coins to their success as well. Times are very different than they used to be, the vast majority of the projects have disappointed their investors. Even the projects that received a lot of funding and where the token prices went up very significantly did not bring in the results they've promised. Surely, some have achieved something (EOS, TRX) or even a lot (Ethereum), but they have not done enough to boost the confidence of investors in the altcoin market back after the big surge of 2018.

Maybe the Bitcoin halving can have a positive impact on the Bitcoin price, but who knows? Instead of opening new threads every day and ask about what might happen to the price in near future, one should do research instead. Educate yourself in terms of cryptocurrencies, gather as much information as you can and I am sure you will select the right projects on the long run. And if you select the right projects you obviously will profit. So stop gambling and start researching.

i dunno too but that is what majority says  . they says halving can boost the price    . this guy is not the one that open new threads everyday so he himself arent aware if the same topic already posted but search engine is always recomended before creating every new thread  . this is a forum and its different from doing research alone but you can get different response from people owns view if you ask on the forum rather by doing research online  .  and how do you knew that he is gambling  ? never see he said that he was gambling  . investing in btc is less risky and cant be considered as gambling  .

Agree, the halving event makes bitcoin less, its value is forced to increase to accommodate this scarcity, and when the bridge to connect altcoins becomes more expensive, items around will also get a similar effect, environment and favorable conditions, altcoin will have new value milestones. But will it be the highest milestones in history or is it just ordinary milestones, even the worst ones? We cannot predict this situation, the scope and probable things are very vast, waiting is the only way to see the next page of this story, judgments are just spiritual help

back in 2017 we almost hit a trillion capitalization ,but this past years of 2018-2019?we had make to more than half because last year there are chances of bullying again but we failed so now as halving near to happen maybe there is more than a chance.
adoption is all we need but also we can make market strong again if we will only invest together.just let it happen and we will see the effect this year.

The biggest question now is the regulation, all kinds of government agencies have already been tracing transactions on chain for years and increased tax burden would also discourage crypto to crypto tradings

I think the 4 year cycle is a good cycle, most of the people that were trapped at top tends to forget the pain and leave the market because of this and that reasons in 2 years. So the sell presure is less and less after 2 years, means easy to get a price increase without much resistance

Bitcoin halving has already occurred twice and each time it's boosting price by at least 8 to10x .There are many theories as to why this happens but the simplest reason i think is supply and demand. Just think when fewer bitcoins are being generated, this increased scarcity and makes them more valuable. But this time I'm not expecting so much, actually the truth is anything can happen with the price. We can just predict and hope,nothing more.

It's the "halving" time of the year. Users need to be experimental in their speculations of the market due to the upcoming halving. It's an event that carries the possibility of increasing the price, as it has done in the past, but speculating it may get up as high as an all time high is rather optimistic at its apex level and you should not be motivated to invest more money for that reason.

You can study on how the previous halving went, though that doesn't mean this years halving would follow the exact same path, but it can give one an understanding on what to expect and how to invest(wisely).

One of the most questions in this time is the halving because the price of the market supply of the bitcoin will going to half this happens to control the amount of the coin we are mining today. Also, there are a lot of possible things may happen and one of this is the market price increase of the bitcoin because if we are trying to apply the rules of supply and demand if there is a lot of quantity of bitcoin, there is a chance that the price will be going down and becomes stable for a long time. Still, if the supply of the bitcoin affects by the halving there is a big chance it will increase rapidly. Also, we have an inverted side of that we cannot manipulate the whole market transaction of the people, and there is a chance they will sell all of their money to altcoins or fiat currency and will cause of falling of market price.

Not only you think that way. Many investor's are also expecting that this coming halving will really make a huge impact to bitcoin. Even if we are experiencing a bear market right now, it will suddenly increase when the most awaited halving will come. Many expected that by the end of the year, we will see how far its price can reach.

Of course. Moreover, this is not the first halving, so we can analyze from the halving moment in previous periods. Proved that halving BTC had a significant impact, the big pump came, making most of the altcoins also reach record high prices. 
Cryptocurrency is full of unpredictability, if there is an opportunity to increase many times over, the opposite opportunity also has the same percentage, can become increasingly worthless, so we must always monitor price movements and read news and rumors circulating. Besides BTC halving, there are also another coin halving which are also important to note:
https://i.postimg.cc/Rhszxdf1/coin-halving.jpg

The past halving told us that there is really an increase in the price of cyrptocurrencies and the halving of this year is very much anticipated by the crypto market and people with Bitcoin. With few remaining BTC left, there is really a chance for its price to increase since the market would state a higher value. I believe most people would invest and not miss this opportunity. However, we are not really sure because Bitcoin's price or the cyrptocurrencies is not really stable. That's why, people still have to be cautious about investing so much. We mustn't be hungry for prices but wise about analyzing the price and stability of Bitcoin when it comes to halving.

If bitcoin price can reach ATH in 2021, it will be possible because if we take a look at a previous halving, bitcoin price needs almost 2 years before the price reach ATH. The bitcoin price might increase so high in 2021 and 2022, but we never know because bitcoin market price can increase anytime. But I believe that the bitcoin price will reach an all-time high again, no matter this year or the next year. We only need to prepare for the coming, and we should make more and more bitcoin now.

I'm still sure bitcoin halving can make cryptocurrency prices reach all time high again, even though many people are starting to hesitate
because of this the price of bitcoin these days has decreased in price. In my opinion the fall in the price of bitcoin is a natural thing  to
happen. Because in addition to volatile bitcoin prices, to raise the price of bitcoin to reach an all time high price a correction is  needed first.
In my opinion, the most important step right now is to collect as much bitcoin as possible. So when the price reaches all  time high, you will
don't regret.

Even though there is so little amount of BTC left to be mined it will still take more than 100 years to mine the rest of the bitcoins left.
Unfortunately we won't be alive when the last bitcoin will be mined. We won't know what the price of one bitcoin would be at that time.
Predictions/speculation are useless in crypto according to my point of view. Only time can tell what the actual thing is gonna be.

well when discussing the price of bitcoin there will be no end because the price of bitcoin will give a surprise and no one can provide a guarantee that the price rises because when the price of bitcoin at the exchange becomes expensive then the transaction costs will follow the exchange value meaning the price will also be expensive, if bitcoin prices are very expensive and shipping costs are rising like that to be honest i doubt if there are still people who buy bitcoin at high prices.

Ofcourse, Someone will still buy bitcoin even on a high price, As I remember bitcoin at the year of 2016 is priced of $400 each, As of now bitcoin price is $8,585.82   and many people are still buying bitcoin even it rose on such high prices compared to the prices on 2016. This proves that the demand is still high because people are still profiting from bitcoin. We experienced ATH in the last quarter of 2017 after the halving and it might happen again, There are many speculations that I heard from experts but I do believe that bitcoin price will go over its all-time high.

As a matter of fact we did see some ups and downs in the price but at the same time we cannot predict anything.
In the past as a matter of fact , price did rise and it wasn't something that was 1-2% increase it was more than enough to make people millionaires overnight .
But one should understand that Cryptocurrencies never go according to a formula , no one can predict how the time is gonna change the course .
Therefore it can but at the same time maybe it won't.
God knows ... Or maybe even he is betting on this matter .

Halving never meant shit for shitcoins like ltc and bcash (and bsv) with no real trading volume. Halving didn't (and won't) work for them because nobody cares about them. No real demand you'll find there.

The difference between shitcoins and bitcoin is the huge demand difference.

Bitcoin is still the main one which gives a direction to the markets. If "halving" combined with this huge demand doesn't move bitcoin upwards in a reasonable time frame, it still doesn't mean bitcoin is like these shitcoins I mentioned above. It just means halving doesn't have the bull effect on the markets like we think it has.

Shitcoins will have no real demand forever.

I am not expecting something extravagant to happen within this year but the booming might occur by 2021, this is based on my opinion so there's no need to argue if someone doesn't agree with that.  :P

The example that we have of halving last year for Litecoin didn't do much but it's an unfair comparison because it's Litecoin and we're comparing it to bitcoin. That's an orange and an apple comparison.

Lately, I've been looking for something interesting to read on the web, sub-reddits, YouTube channels and what I have seen so far is that everyone is starting to become bullish. And I remember, someone said that when everyone reacts like this, it's sort of scary.

To be frank, i am indeed worried about the bitcoin havling, because the hypes, the reliance and the over confidence that it will allow another massive bitcoin market is what makes me nervous.

Will the bitcoin halving actually cause the growth ?
Or will the hype of the halving not have a significant sign ?

I will love to be educated more.
DYOR

I think you need to understand that what you have here is not in any way an analysis, you just wrote a post that doesn’t in any way look like analysis. That the price will go up is just a speculation that people, they are not ready sure about.

Some people are saying that the price will go up because the price went up after the last two Halving, so for them that automatically means that this time around the same thing is going to happen again. And you’re also landing at the same point, and yes you’re right about FOMO, sometimes it can have an effect on the price and cause it to rise. A lot of people will start rushing into it and that will cause price to spike.

There is a possibility for crypto to reach a new all-time high since the previous bitcoin halving gives positive outcomes to every cryptocurrency in the market but we should not expect too much. There are still some chances that the opposite of what we have experienced before will be the final result.

In my opinion the end of 2020 will be a high bounce, but usually, it will be preceded by a considerable decrease in reaching the floor then bouncing through the roof. I'm not a technical analyst so I can't give a specific picture of where the crucial points are. But fundamentally, the hype created by the news, interest, etc. is very influential, it is almost certain that this will have a positive effect on the market, including altcoin, especially since the history of the previous halving period is pretty good. So most crypto enthusiasts start to take positions to get the right moment.

There is a possibility that it can reach a new ATH but at the same time, I have a feeling that it will go the other way around.

What I'm trying to say is whatever happens after Bitcoin halving, lets just be prepared for it because we don't what can happen. We saw in the past years whenever Bitcoin halving happens, price of Bitcoin surges and after that a small correction happened so there is a chance that "history repeats itself" will happen or it will not.

For me, I'm not expecting too much on Bitcoin. I will just stay still and wait for my target selling price.

Although currently the price of bitcoin has decreased, but I personally still believe that bitcoin halving is making prices reach all time high.
Especially if we look at the history of two halving bitcoins which before its successfully made the price of bitcoin rise to the top. So  from that,
with market conditions like now I do not feel hesitant to invest in bitcoin. Because I believe the potential of bitcoin is very large.So you will not
hesitate to invest in bitcoin, by collecting BTC until now. And hope that when bitcoin halving happens the price goes up, and we can enjoy big profits.

There is big difference between expectation and reality.

Historically halving have always increased the Fiat value of Bitcoin but this time I do not think this will happen. Thee are many reason related to my assumption. One of the major one is Litecoin halving.it did not create a huge price spike, I expect the same with Bitcoin this year.

Our expectation is a Bull run but in reality we are again in bear market.

It may happen. It was huge speculations and huge and continuous flow in of the investors coupled with some whales that made the price of bitcoin continuously went up few years back. But all the same, there are mere talks we do not know and we can't be certain until the time comes. I understand this has become one of the trending news about crypto now but whatever happens. I think we can learn one or two things from it.

I don't really mind what this year's halving could do with the prices but as for the past halving patterns most likely if this is the third then 33% of chances will be similar from the previous ones. Expectations are high this year as this is the year after bitcoin reached its all time high last 2017, actually this is the most anticipated year as bitcoin's price are expected to exceed its ATH. If there is massive pump that is coming to the crypto space then it will give a vey huge impact to the real world and will help a fast growing mass adoption.

You are right, when we have a look on the past two Halvings it looks like it may boom again according to my prediction. BTC has rallied huge pumps in the last two Halvings and I believe it will continue to maintain the same this season as well, BTC always performs in it's Halving and hopefully it will skyrocket again.

Corona virus has nothing much to do with crypto when it comes to it's fluctuations there might be temporary effects. Yes there are always possibilities of reaching ATH and there is a lot of hope on halving for the fact that it will reduce the supply thus pumping up the demand which will increase the Bitcoin value.

Of course, we cannot predict what's gonna happen after that but bitcoin halving can make a great impact on the market. We all know that cryptocurrency is volatile in terms of prices, it is changing time by time when there's transaction happened. We just need to wait what's gonna happen when bitcoin halving occurs. As of now, we just need to keep our token and wait if the bull run will happen, it is good for us, if not just keep on holding because I am believing there's no end to cryptocurrency, what I mean is that there is no such thing that the growth of every cryptocurrency will be stopped.
 We do not know what's gonna happen on this year's halving but if that's the case we should wait for that to happen and buy some bitcoin to hold. It is still risky because speculation like that is not to be followed easily. We are all wishing that after halving, bull run will happen, let's just wait and keep on supporting projects as of now.

Of course, halving should positively affect the fate of Bitcoin.
Personally, I think that the price will reach the mark of 50 thousand dollars by 2021.

There is no doubt the wave that these outlets create, the news and other mediums that make the people emotional and make them decide whether to buy or not. But with what we know as for the halving, this will result in scarcity not just for this upcoming but for the next one and so on.

It's ok if you think that end of this year will be the bouncing but I don't really it is and I'm not convinced.

We are all been optimistic and being hopeful for this year but then, we can't make any assurance that would give a hundred percent market recovery and see a skyrocketed price back then. The market still on the volatility which we aren't able to see a continuous price growth rather than to see its fluctuating scheme all the time. If this halving will generate a strong market resistance it possible we are able to see Bullrun but then, this halving gives no assurance for it.

$50k by 2021? I hope you are right mate and I should have to look it back after this year.

Well, we don't know. All we know is that after the halving, it cuts down the supply then it might increase the demand that will also increase the price of it. In the past, as far as I know, it did well in the last halving and I hope it will be the same. $50K is a bit higher for me, maybe another ATH before we reach that kind of price, right?

I will say my opinion again that the halv itself won't impact Bitcoin like most of you are thinking like pumping the price to moon with Bitcoin being 50k$ by summer and some other crazy theories that I've seen recently. The halv won't make cryptos going all time high but maybe some of them will boost the price if Bitcoin decides to climb a little but we're still early for a new bull run to begin as the accumulation phase is still going and further more this stable of price in Bitcoin is very welcomed I'm sure.

At first i was thinking the same thing the price will increase because of the halving and we might see bitcoin breaking a previous all time high. The new year for bitcoin has been positive but it seems due to hype or anticipation of a rally, bitcoin didn't turned bullish as we planned.

I can think of some of the reasons it maybe, exchanges manipulation or the global pandemic coronavirus or just warren buffet criticism about bitcoin. Either way, if bitcoin doesn't break out this coming halving, it will be bad.

I saw a satirical article about how it's the leap day what makes the price rise and not the halvening.

In a more serious tone I think this year's halvening will not see as great of an increase, but next year maybe the stars will align once again like in 2017.

never you forget mate that the effect of halving is not happening instantly  and we can check from the previous occasion that it reflects months or more after and not on the time of this,for example last 2017 when the price climbs up 4 months after and the altcoins moved prices after that 4th month of that Bitcoin pump so basically we can expect around September - December this year or possibility on 2021 earlier also there.that's why let us not expect sooner ,at least we can just keep our eyes close for those certain dates for us not to be affected of the Ups and down of market these days.

this is what you've got in decentralized market so nothing to worry about.
Bitcoin is unpredictable even the very moment that it was created so it is not just now but for long time.
you will find answers once the Halving Of Bitcoin took place,but for now?let us just be chill and wait.

This is why investing on bitcoin is more risky then any investment place out there. I have some of my friend that they invested their money to some stocks. And currenly, I compare how many lose that I faced when bitcoin price and the stock exchange is falling as well. And you know what, the loser is more severe me who had bitcoin, some of my friend have lost a bit from their capital. But, privously when bitcoin price was increasing a few days ago, I got a lot of profit from it and even if I spent $100 to invest in bitcoin then I can get around $50 in a few days only and that is never happen on stock market. I agree with what you say, we need more attention to recover our loses and dismiss our greedy first to reach it.

The result of upcoming halving still unknown and we all know all of us are expecting on another all-time high. We have seen plenty of predictions about upcoming halving and all of them are on the all-time high side. But, if you going to see the market again the price of bitcoin is falling down and from 10,000$ it's now around 8,600$. There are still a few amounts before the halving and are we really see a new all-time high in the market? or not. Then, based on what I see here, some of the members think that effect halving will occur after many months. I still don't have any experience with an all-time high but it seems once it happens again it will bring huge profit to me.

Right now I think the price is just circling at a low price because it’s waiting for the halving to take place. The price might remain at low and after the halving it will take off and reach a high price. I don’t know if there is going to be another all time high price, but I do know that there is going to be a bull run after the halving, and judging from the way the price has moved in the price I’m thinking that it will reach another all time high price.

The first halving made the price to reach a high price and after that we reached the second halving and the price is also reached another high price. So what if the same thing is going to be repeating itself this time around? And since there are lots of speculation about it, most investors especially the bulls will be getting ready to start pushing in a lot of money into the market once the time comes.

Big difference is bitcoin is only about 55% from All time highs where as most alt coins are still 80% away from all time highs. Then again, the alt coins require less liquidity to pump them up.

most people have the same prediction regarding this. it's just that to reach its new ATH, it still raises opposing opinions. I myself speculate that the price will go up, but I don't think that the price will really reach the new highest price. even when the price this year reaches $ 16,000 is a very good thing. I know that developments will occur the following year.

Yeah cause no one's entitled to say it but the patterns are still at large of making the bitcoin price high again although it is not accurate to based on. The halving occurred in 2016 impacted the bitcoin on 2017 very hard that it was able to reach the peak of its price but do not expect that much we've been on this for a long time, perhaps we will see it again this time 2020 to 2021 what do you think guys?

I also hope 2020-2021 will be a wonderful year for Bitcoin. It will have to wait patiently to see the original bull run. There are many who start talking about the market dump with little correction. In fact, it does not create any acceptability. Those who have knowledge of trading know that this year and next year, a bright future awaits for Bitcoin. So I'm ready with my long-term position.

The only way to earn more profit from bitcoin is by holding it till the next push. But you can't predict when it happen again. Hold till your profit goes double and buy when the goes down in the market. Don't panic at the small fluctuations. You surely get the profit from the bitcoin in a long run. Don't target for the short run game. Sometimes you may lose by panic selling.

Bitcoin's halving will be good for Bitcoin only and not all the cryptocurrencies as it is going to affect a single crypto's algorithm of paying halved rewards which doesn't apply to other cryptocurrencies. But there stands a chance we may see an altcoin season before halving and those old big spikes may enter the markets any time surprising us. While I think this will happen from the month of April and till BTC halving is done, you should be ready with your alt bags already as the crypto winter is over and we are going to see a big rally before an imminent crash.

Easy to say but when it will hit once again this all time high according to you?
It doesn't work like that, the market changes, evolves, it becomes mature.
The volatility is decreasing years after years as you can see on these charts :
https://www.bitpremier.com/volatility-index
So don't expect a new all time high in the very next months IMO, moreover many old holders will capitulate.

I believe not, because in old days any shitcoin used to pile up its way towards getting pumped up easily but it was the time when investors' minds were just money-oriented and nobody was looking what was in the project itself and even BTC was growing while these alts were having their best times. This time, BTC has already grown a lot and it'll get up to an extent where its domination will speak for itself and this is why we are not seeing major pumps like 10-20x yet and we won't see it this year because BTC alone is looking a safe haven asset and the one which is highly expensive to afford right now, so investors are only putting their money into safe projects which actually have any use case and are worth putting their dime in.

There is a possibility that we might not see a huge rally like we used to see historically after the halving simply because the market has matured a lot and the price we have right now is really high for the average Joe to get interested, during the past halving people jumped into the market thinking that they could make a huge profit.

Yes, halving will increase bitcoin's price, that's for sure because of cut in supply that will lead to more demand, but it does not mean that necessarily mean that it will rise all time high. That would be difficult to achieve for a short period of time, but hopefully, halving will help us to get to that point, maybe during the last months of this year or next year.

In my opinion, bitcoin halving this year can still make cryptocurrency prices reach all time high again like the previous two halves.
Although currently the price of bitcoin is still under $ 9,000, but seeing the price of bitcoin which is very volatile it could be the
price of bitcoin suddenly rise. We should not be pessimistic about current market conditions, because bitcoin often surprises us all.
And I very sure that 2020 is very likely to have a big surprise, and therefore always be prepared with all the possibilities that will
happen.

There are only two possibilities that will happen after the bitcoin halving. One will be the bitcoin price will continue to increase and we can reach a new ATH record this year because the hype has been started already.

And the one will be the bitcoin price will drop and we cannot reach a new ATH record this year, this scenario will happen if the hype is not enough to push the bitcoin price upward after the halving of bitcoin. Though these scenarios can be track easily in the following months, if the market will start to climb up again then there is a big possibility that we can push the bitcoin price upward after the halving.

Possibly it can make the price to increase and reach a new high. There are lots of speculations on the internet about an increase that would be coming after the Halving.

This might be true because if you watch how the price has been moving, it has been quite bullish and tends to be making moves upwards, I hope it keeps moving that way till it reaches a high price. And sometimes these kinds of situation can create a FOMO and when people starts rushing in and buying bitcoin it will cause a huge pump on the price. If you check the last time Bitcoin reached an all time high price you will notice it didn’t waste time on top before it started going down immediately.

To my supposition desires from splitting are excessively high.
Indeed, it'll acquire some positive developments the market and certain some value rise yet more on a transient premise and not in so high range, don't expect that cost will reach 20000$ again on account of splitting. Anyway, it's difficult to guage what precisely will happen yet a couple of clients with elevated standards may finish up frustrated.

Halving does not mean automatic price gain movement. It's just a program work on the network on the distribution of bitcoin reward to miners which is every 4yrs. However, by human psychology and interpretation this should lead to upward price movement as bitcoin becomes scare more and more.

If there is one thing I have learnt about the market generally , it is that the market does not always go the way everyone expects it.If everyone is expecting a bull run because of the pending bitcoin halving, we are not likely to have it.I am not a believer that that the halving will have significant impact on prices especially in the short term.

Well, there is always speculation surrounds the crypto industry. If we expect too much it will give us too much disappointment. But, as we observe from the past halving and up to the present event there is always hope to see it to reach an all-time high.

Today it is 2nd of May and still Bitcoin is trading at $8800 mark. It did went pass through $9000 but quickly went back. It is still trading below the 10k mark now and I doubt it will create a new all time high before the halving.

Historically Bitcoin always reached a new price level after the halving ended. I mean it is always the year after halving. So you can accept something good next year but not this year.

We have so many events like this where we think that bull run started but suddenly dump so maybe best to watch the market since for now eventhough we are close to halving happened still we cannot assure if bitcoin reach on its ATH since I'm bit worried that people are holding up there investments since the situation around the still in questionable.

Because of the scarcity if Bitcoin, supply and demand Bitcoin will grow a lot in the future, just wait 5-10 years.

We are still in the infant stages, have patience, lots of new money will enter the crypto trading but it takes time.

There is no need to be asking questions about it. The Bitcoin halving you’re talking about is just less than a month to go; we are already in the month of May. No one can tell where the price would be heading to next.

The last halving didn’t really lead to the bull run immediately, it took some time really, before everything started pumping. Unless the situation is going to different this time around. The price has recently moved up to above $8,800 and there are lots of articles online talking about Bitcoin bull run after the halving. This can possibly lead to a FOMO after Halving, and that will cause the Bitcoin price to increase heavily.

In last ten days market starting turn into positive side and last couple of days crypto market is seems so calm which is really positive sign. Only couple of days left for halving and at this situation it's quite though decision to say whats gonna happen after halving because of current COVID-19 situation. Although in my opinion market may be rise up little bit but i am afraid that it won't reach all time high again. If corona virus didn't show at this time then i would say btc might reach all time high.

For all of the halvings i did experience i never tend to believe that there would be a bull run on short term aspects.People shouldnt really expect
that much because price can either dump or pump on specific time.Lets talk about long term on here but i cant really blame up people who
do have these kind of sentiments or expectations since FOMO feels is present when this event do happen.As an investor it will just
vary if you do tend to buy in or would sell out on news.

There is something that should not be forgotten, all cryptocurrencies depend on Bitcoin, if Bitcoin rises in price, it is natural and obvious that other cryptocurrencies follow their bullish path, the only currency that has a life of its own is Bitcoin. This halving of Bitcoin can expect many good things, in fact the price is already moving very positively.

For the world of cryptocurrencies in general, it will be beneficial for Bitcoin to increase in price.

There are many aspect that we must consider before believing one thing here in this market such as

Volatility-this is much important since there are many movement in each time.
Demand and Supply-Things in which market is normally in moving as this is the legit way why we need to be updated.
Manipulation-In this many fails because those who has Lots of currencies here can easily move market from Pump to Dump so be aware of this greedy actions of the whales.

Although bitcoin can reach all-time high again, we still need to wait for some time because we don't know when the bitcoin price will increase so high and will be more than $20k. People now are waiting for the next update from their government so they can know what they should do because of the pandemic still not over. But the bitcoin halving can be the best time for bitcoin to lift the price to the highest price and maybe we will see another ATH soon.

I used to be completely sure what you were talking about, but today I already have doubts.  Although it is indisputable that a certain growth trend in rating cryptocurrencies can be observed following the rise in the price of bitcoin, but most cryptocurrencies have not been in very good condition since the time of 2018.  at least most of my assets both fell a thousand times two years ago, and is at that level, and Bitcoin has already managed to rise from $ 3,000 to $ 11,000 over that time.

The last halving was July 9, 2016 and the ATH after halving was December 17, 2017 ( 18 months difference). 2012 doesnt give a immediate ATH as well but the halving is important in the cycle. The bigger question is where will the money for pump comes from. ICO was the big factor in 2017 and it resulted in ATH. IEO doesnt look to bring that big money, Libra and Telegram are stronglying with government regulation, they are losing it. Pandemic came again and the market is getting longer, we need the positive sentiment.

Mann, the pandemic has nothing to do with bitcoin, the halving is still going to start and I am sure that the bitcoin will reach it's new all time high! Let's just see the chart history of bitcoin and we can see there that every halving the bitcoin price is going to up! It happen twice so I am sure that this time, history will repeat itself! Let's just get ready and ride that  ;D or go all in for long on leverage trading hahaha LOL  ;D

Manipulation is mostly the cause of everything. Volatility and market demand and supply always change because someone doing it so (whales). And looking at the market today, ain't no surprise if we aren't able to see the price reach to it ATH again. The market behavior could tell something out from that and the Bullish season is far away from happening again if the situation will remain. 

Maybe, we have to stop chasing Bullrun coz this year isn't really a perfect match to it. It is the moment will come and nobody knows about it.

An all time high is what most people anticipate though of given the current situation of the virus and lockdown that may not be as clear as it would have been had it not happened in parallel. In any case, BTC halving should at least encourage greater dynamic in the market, where hopefully the buying power becomes stronger, hence driving the crypto industry to increased value

I must agree on this, even we've already passed the 2 halving phases we are still uncertain of what could happen next since we got into different situation right now which is global pandemic, economic crisis and Trade war (although it seems that it stopped for a while due to corona virus) But let us count the factor that the best market to invest today is the cryptocurrency not just because the stock market is down but because of the fact that cryptocurrency has seen substantial growth for the past weeks, crypto is the first thing that comes to the mind of the people when we talk about investment these days.

If you go back to the history of bitcoin, every time bitcoin halving came, it becomes one of the reasons why the price rise after or before it. you can also see that after some months or a year, the price will also rise at an all-time high. This time because of the pandemic that we currently face, we cannot assure the end result of this halving rather let's just hope that it will become like the last time's halving. If that happens, then we can have a strong assurance that bitcoin is difficult to fall even pandemic its still standing stall.

People thought that, the advent of Bitcoin halving will always bring about the price of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency in general to a high all time but the fate of this year price seem unknown. It might interest you to know that, the price will fully come on play I year after the Bitcoin halving, so, the rise in the price of cryptocurrency will be 2021 or 2022. For those who thought that, the price will grow after they have purchased some stash should be mindful of the price skyrocket. Holding on a long-term will only be beneficial for those who hold some stash. 

I think like that too. Everyone is currently focused on surviving a pandemic. So the choice to invest is put aside first. Based on the previous halving period, ATH is achieved around a few months after halving, there is a fairly long process here. Most likely, this process will take longer due to conditions that are less conducive. ATH can or may not be achieved, cryptocurrency is sometimes difficult to predict.

Nah, always follow the demand and supply not the people expectations. Traders are the ones who do make the market move that's why it's very volatile plus you add up the halving of Bitcoin that makes it the price to likely double or so. But the price correction will always adjust the price so that it's reasonable enough to buy and sell. Although after the Bitcoin halving we still have to wait for more months before we got to see the bullish market.

There's also a possibility that they aren't priced in.

If you think about it the price was at 14000 almost a year before the halving. It later stayed at 9000 for a long time and only the stock market crash last month made it fall beck below 5000. This means that the price we are back at now is the normal price that we had for many months. A price that should be higher after the halving!

Halving have potential that can change the market of BTC but do not rely on this and make it sure that you're always checking the market.

We're not still sure if this year 2020 or maybe next year that the ATH will occur, have patience and be wise on trading.

Hoping for BTC's surge to happen asap!

In my own opinion about Bitcoin halving, there is a possibility that it would reach ATH in the long run. However, I do not expect that Bitcoin will rise eventually when halving date comes. There’s a slight downturn at first and it may take a while before the actual bull run begins.

I could be wrong with my own analysis due to reducing block rewards in Bitcoin mining. The market is very unpredictable right now. But we’ll see what happens after the halving period. Good luck to everyone holding and trading BTCs!

In principle, it’s really a  due to halving. Everything can happen with the same accuracy as in 2016 and we can get the same results as in 2017.  but over the past two years, Whatever the results of bitcoin, the cryptocurrency market has reacted very weakly to bitcoin price increases.  Although if the price of bitcoin falls, then all prices for cryptocurrency fall, And if the price of bitcoin rises, then the prices of only the highest rated cryptocurrencies rise.

The price of cryptocurrencies also depends on the economic situation in the countries concerned. If the traditional financial system begins to collapse, people panicking into other assets. Then even Bitcoins become a much better form of capital security for them than inflationary fiat money. Crises are therefore strongly associated with the virtual currency rate. The more people enter this market, the greater its capitalization.

Perhaps there are several other factors that can also translate into the price of cryptocurrencies, e.g. manipulation by large players.

We don't know from where the money will come because right now, we don't see that ICO or IEO or whatever its name be a factor to reach ATH. But bitcoin will have the time to get ATH again after the halving. We could wait for that will happen, and we need to prepare for the time and don't miss the chance ;D

I don't know about that, but I guess that whether the pandemic related to bitcoin or not, we only see that when the pandemic happens, bitcoin price is followed to go down. But now, bitcoin shows the strong again, and the price trying to increase step by step. I guess that history will repeat itself, but we need to calm down because I am afraid that we don't know when it will happen again. Whew, I am so scared to go all-in for long position right now because bitcoin price is still unpredicted, and everything can happen later ;D

That is why we need to be careful because we don't know the right answer for what will happen later. In these situations, everything is possible, and even many people predict that bitcoin price will increase so high and hit the new ATH, they still don't know when the right time will come. I think people right now think about the crypto market, which they see that the impact is not too big compared to the stock market. Maybe after this pandemic, they will start to come (or they already invest in the crypto market).

Hello everybody. It is not possible to predict what will happen in connection with the division in half - this is a lottery. You can expect anything from Bitcoin. Look at the price chart and you will understand that sometimes speculations just go through the roof, especially since an event such as dividing the rewards of miners in half cannot go unnoticed. But, as I said, the price of bitcoin is subject to great manipulation - I won’t be surprised if the price falls on the contrary. Sometimes the price movement is so unpredictable that it seems like the brain is breaking. I'm used to the fact that in the cryptocurrency market, on expectations, the price goes in the completely opposite direction. But the fact that market makers are sure to use the upcoming event for their own selfish purposes is for sure. But, back to the question of whether the price of bitcoin, in connection with the upcoming split in half, can reach the highest level, of course it can. Just ask yourself - what prevented an asset with a price of one dollar from reaching the price of $ 20,000 in just a few years - nothing. Well, and what prevents an asset with a price of $ 9,000, in a couple of weeks it reached $ 20,000 - absolutely nothing .

we are just week away from Halving but market stays calm and
irresponsive so maybe all of our
 expectation in this part of halving season is not gonna come like
what we wanted.But at least we
 are can still have a positive even what is the effect soon though
 i believe that within a year good
things may come and the Bull will come still maybe in the last
quarter of the mid of next year.

Exactly, the positive and the negative effects have very even proportions in this event, we can look at the price of bitcoin as the first positive point we get, very high and getting progressively higher but offsetting those heights, altcoins fall victim to the event because altcoins do not have the conditions to keep up this pace, people's views are only worried about bitcoin. Maybe when bitcoin starts to slow down, altcoins will be able to go up but that's just an objective perspective, the case I'm seeing is that altcoins are still in the pool of blood

You are right mate, and lot of people think the ATH happens at the same time than halving, that's a big mistake. Those who decide to hold will have to it for the next couple of years if you are chasing the new ATH.

Just follow the pattern guys and play it smart.

if you are hoping for ath then there is no point of doubting that it wont occur but you must instead say that ath will occur .  im with you by the way  . i myself always taught of cryptos to increase .  however there are still people out there that keeps on talking negatives about the halving  . they say that halving cant trigger an increase anymore because the corona virus pandemic takes place   .  its hard to ignore them because thier numbers are growing too

Most of us are just depending on what we have seen on the past halving event, if the effects in consecutive then it great but it is still just fine when it's not even we need to face a massive dump. I believe that bitcoin is a piece of rock in a slingshot the more it goes down the higher it gets when it released, so there should be no doubt on bitcoin despite of what is going to happen for this year's halving since we already have  seen bitcoin soaring up high and the masses already recognized it's usage.

The price is already above 9000 dollars and it doesn't seem like it is going to stop, however I am a little bit worried, in the past after the halving took place there was a slight decrease in the price, so while many are expecting that we are going to see a bull run immediately after the halving that is very unlikely and if the price goes down after the halving and it stays there for a very long time then many miners are not going to have the money to keep operating their miners and this is never a good thing for the network.

Yes of course, this graphical presentation tells the story lucidly. I mean what proof we guys need rather than the history of bitcoin and its relation with the halving process.

Many factors get changed, I mean,
1. Miners reward will decrease and thus demand for powerful hash needs to be pushed into the pool.
2. This makes use of more electricity, machines and stuff to boost the cost of BTC in the market.
3. Most important, huge BTC stands virgin and miners focus on chasing them for higher OTC values.
4. Supply will decrease that is to be mined, and huge holdings in dark ledgers makes more demand in the circulation.

Based on these factors BTC will tend to rise ATH over the time.

Just like this guy said, it will take time. It will happen eventually, may be few spikes will come along the way, but ATH will be achieved in couple of months to a years time.

It is too early to say anything on that regard. During the last two occasions (on 2012, and again on 2016) the spike started almost 6 months after the block reward halving. And the ATH was achieved 12 to 18 months after the halving event (December 2013, and December 2017). So if we go by the same logic, the next ATH may happen on December 2021, which is around 18 months from now.

Exactly. The "Halving" doesn't necessarily mean that prices will skyrocket in the short term. Sometimes, prices remain the same as they were before due to selling pressure on the market. Miners will then increase the price of a Bitcoin in order to maintain profitability. Past halving events have shown us that prices where never the same as before. Once Bitcoin experiences an astronomical increase in price, other altcoins follow. The bull market usually begins from a couple of months to a year later after the halving. If you've managed to buy some Bitcoin before the halving, you'll be able to double or triple your investment in the long run.

Despite the halving, there's no guarantee that prices will continue to rise forever. Everything is dependent on people's demand for crypto on the market. If a lot of people are buying Bitcoin more than what they're selling, you'll see the market on the "green side" all of the time. Otherwise, everything will be "red" meaning lack of interest or massive sell pressure on the market. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect over crypto's price in the short term, but everything got back in track after a month. It shows us that Bitcoin is still demanded by people in the mainstream world, despite the negative impact of coronavirus. If the trend continues, we might see each Bitcoin worth $25,000 by the end of the year. Of course, of all this is speculation since no one knows what Bitcoin's true value is on the market.

Nonetheless, the quick skyrocket in Bitcoin's price will surely put altcoins on the "green side". It'll be just like 2017 where almost every cryptocurrency had a new All-time-high in price. If you're patient enough with your crypto investment, you'll be able to see great results in the long term. Just my thoughts ;D

Indeed. As we seen on the past years of bitcoin, it shows us that the description of it in becoming a "unstable" cryptocurrency. Bitcoin doesn't have any specific amount or price. It always goes high and low. We already experienced the price goes high and high wayback and also we experience the price halving of this. It is a concrete idea where shows that bitcoin doesn't always stays on one side but always explore. I think miners will be the one who is going to be excited about it. As the year passed by, many people have seen a lot of news about bitcoin. And I think bitcoin will stays on the top trending and will always have surprises regarding on it's price.

Possibly maybe a year after halving, just like 2016 halving, in December 2017 the price of bitcoin reached an all time high $19650 that time and it is more likely that in 2021 maybe bitcoin also reach another all time high. We just need to continuously contribute to the mass adoption of people in using bitcoin in many transactions and as a store of value. It is not that easy to make predictions because there are also other factors to consider when it comes to bitcoin's price, that's why you always need to watch news and article so that you're updated about the happenings in the market and the world. But all holders are looking forward for its price to increase again, we just need to wait for the right time to buy and sell bitcoin.

Bitcoin halving is almost the largest event in the cryptocurrency market that you can imagine.  All previous Bitcoin halving very strongly influenced not only the price of Bitcoin, but also the entire cryptocurrency market.  but today this event is happening in parallel with the coronavirus pandemic and the global economic crisis, which does not allow us to fully assess the impact of halving not only on the entire cryptocurrency market, but also specifically on bitcoin. given the fact that the price of Bitcoin has always influenced the pricing of cryptocurrencies in the cryptocurrency market, then we should expect real results of halving in a few days.  And if we take into account the statistics of the effect of halving on bitcoin, then this year Bitcoin prices should rise, but we should not expect too fast price increases, although according to many analysts, by 2021, a large-scale rally of bitcoin can be expected.

Agree. Prices could go higher than before after a year or two from now. This is based on previous Bitcoin halvings where the pioneer cryptocurrency had a "roller coaster" ride on the market. With every halving event, comes a lot of hype from people in the mainstream world. Sometimes the effects are quick, and sometimes it takes a little longer than usual. Expect to see some discrepancy in hashrate and wild fluctuations in price for the rest of this year. The beginning of 2021 might be a bright one for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies on the market, once the vaccine for COVID-19 (hopefully) is released to the public. The world's economy will rise again, and there will be renewed interest into Bitcoin and other altcoins.

I wouldn't worry much about Bitcoin's price though, as it's all about utility than anything else. For now, Bitcoin is useful as a decentralized store of value outside the scope of central banks and governments alike. As long as I'm able to send/receive money without restrictions (unlike a bank), that's all that matters right now. Remember, 1 Bitcoin will always be equal to 1 Bitcoin no matter what. Most people determine Bitcoin's value on Fiat, since it's been the standard unit of account in the global economy. But if we base crypto's value solely on Bitcoin, things would've been different. The volatility in price is relative to Fiat instead of crypto. When you pay directly in Bitcoin, work directly for Bitcoin, and do many other things with it without relying on Fiat as a unit of account, you'll get a different perception of Bitcoin's value. Still, we cannot avoid people from determining the price of a Bitcoin in terms of Fiat. At least, every halving makes Bitcoin scarcer which should lead towards higher prices in the future. Just my thoughts ;D

After of all the prediction that we have had it seems like that proves the bitcoin more unpredictable now, the harder we speculate the harder it gets to be true. Historically we have seen the price of bitcoin pumping before the halving, we only made it til $10K so I guess that was the final bar raised this halving no? Or we are getting another some time to let it happen coz we are on a completely changed environment?

if we could double the current price (therefore $ 18k) it is likely that we will test the ATH quite easily and after the ATH there would be (as experience shows) the moon.

Due to the resistance and the mechanism of the FOMO it is VERY (but VERY) the most difficult to double the price from where we are now that to quadruple or quintuple once the previous ATH has passed.

The difficult (it is not at all obvious) is doubling in price from where we are now. The later would be the easy part.

Where did you see or get that history?
If you look at or check previous posts, at least you will know what happened about the halving itself and when the ATH was reached.
Look at the previous post from @seoincorporation (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5228324.msg54373935#msg54373935) with image.

It is possible even predictions like $200,000 or $500,000 may sound crazy right now but Bitcoin will someday definitely reach it. Look at some countries like Venezuela and Zimbabwe they all switched to Cryptocurrency due to hyperinflation because of banks endless printing of money and in time that will also happen to all Fiat currencies because of its flawed system.

That's certainly true, mate. We'd need to cross $20k first, before talking of a new ATH for Bitcoin. It seems that there's heavy price manipulation on the market by whales preventing Bitcoin to get past $10k. That and the "futures" market could have been preventing Bitcoin to go towards new ATHs in price. If manipulation continues, we may never see a new ATH for Bitcoin again. As long as Bitcoin mining remains profitable for big miners, there won't be a reason for prices to go any higher. Some people consider Bitcoin to be overvalued, while others think otherwise.

What's important is not the price per Bitcoin in terms of Fiat, but rather its utility in the mainstream world. As long as you focus on Bitcoin's usage for truly decentralized payments, nothing else matters. I've seen many jobs paying directly in Bitcoin, and even shops accepting it. One Bitcoin will always be equal to one Bitcoin no matter what. While Bitcoin's deflationary design tells us that the price should go higher over time, it's certainly not a guarantee it'll be that way. For instance, the third halving had little to no effect over Bitcoin's price. No one knows if the upcoming years before the next halving, Bitcoin's price will be a lot higher than $20k. As long as there are greedy whales in play, it seems very unlikely that the pioneer cryptocurrency will reach a new ATH soon. Just my opinion :)

EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT NOW....


This is NOT the same bubble economy where bitcoin price skyrocketed due to the halving, those days are OVER....    The price increase due to the halving was already priced into BitCoin well ahead of the actual halving, everyone knew about it well in advance.    The fact that BitCoin is now FALLING, just a week after the halving should worry everyone.

I know it will not worry " BitCoin Believers ", but it will worry rational investors...   When disappointment and realization sets in, most people will sell any speculation on the halving and will result in BitCoin falling a lot more  :-[ :-[ :-[

Hard Facts

Yes there is going to be a bull run now that the halving has taken place, but it's not going to be immediately, it's going to take some time. The day the Halving happened I didn't even know, because I wasn't checking the countdown. I just woke up and saw the news that the halving happened. I was a bit excited, but not because I thought that there was going to be a pump, it was just normal. I do know that as time goes on the price will increase.

But as per the last halving and its subsequent market reactions, we cane expect new ATH to happen in coming months. After first halving bitcoin prices reached $1000 for the first time and the 2nd halving took the prices to test around $20,000 and this time 3rd halving just happened and we cannot speculated where is going to be the new ATH; it may be 10x higher than the previous ATH.

There is a difference in telling the story, and predicting the chapters yet to come. We see a history of Bitcoin markets, and I personally believe cycles are there to be seen, and believe quite strongly that cycles will yet repeat themselves.

But that doesn't make that story come true. I could still very well be wrong and, even if I'm right, at which part of the cycle we're in, I can only speculate.

As you say, many factors change too. 2010-2017's market depth and maturity and diversity can hardly compare to the past 3 years. It gets progressively more difficult every day for a whale to come in with a splash and have the same effect.

This all doesn't even take into account major external factors that we cannot possibly foresee.

It'll take time if this is indeed a cycle waiting to go into an upturn. That's for sure. But we can still never be sure if, or when.

Forecasts are not good at the end of the year...

It's very hard to predict right now because situation is very different from what we were expecting in this world. I mean that no one though if there was covid, capable of causing lockdown in countries. So if someone was predicting in winter or earlier that bitcoin would go this or that way, means nothing now. There isn't full image of economic crisis that we may feel in near future so it depends on people's mind, there is two way: people may sell bitcoin to get money for their daily needs or people will only trust bitcoin and some other cryptocurrencies and invest in it like a sight of starlight.

Frankly speaking, I don’t think it’s possible to really say what long term impact Bitcoin Halving is going to have. In past, we have seen initial negativity around it before moving high. We need to try and help our self with handling this scenario right and for me, it is easier with Dsdaq (https://medium.com/@dsdaq/how-to-maximize-your-profit-without-selling-crypto-holdings-in-bitcoin-post-halving-market-d88a4cedbb09), a viable Crypto Collateral-based solution for traders like me to handle the situation better while their customer service is also excellent to make me comfortable.

It seemed that there was a lot of wishful thinking in the community regarding the effects of the halving. Twitter was full of "the halving will bring new hights or even bold predictions like BTC will go 50K - ok, that was unrealistic from the start but still, some got trapped in their own made up delusion of an ultimate movement. Especially those who were in for the quick buck, the lucksters and gamblers. Hodlers would know that it won´t happen to that extend

The halving have already happened and the price is still the same and there isn't any effect on the total network hashrate of bitcoin, so the halving didn't have any bad affect on the miners as if mining would have become unprofitable for them then they would have left mining and the hashrate would also have dropped, but this isn't the case.
We should wait for a few months for the bitcoins price to start increasing again as the world is currently suffering from a very big problem which is Corona virus pandemic, so after recovering from it the world GDP will increase and then we can see the price increase of bitcoin.

Perhaps everyone is waiting for Bitcoin to reach its peak ever. But I think this is really unlikely. Over time we have been heavily affected by the Covid-19 epidemic. No one dares to invest money while the social situation is very volatile. Investors in the cryptocurrency market are now focusing their attention on the Bitcoin Halving event. This has greatly contributed to the bitcoin market. We are waiting for a new step.

But people are saying that there will be another all time high price because of what happened after the last two halving, but they are not sure about it. But judging from what happened before, I would say the next bull run is not going to happen this year. Last halving triggered bitcoin markets to reach its then all-time-high-price within the year and the following year bitcoin set a 20x higher new all-time-high.

Bull run is going to start from next year which is 2021, because that’s how it happened after the Halving in 2016. It took from 2016 to around December 2017 for the bull run to take place and similar thing happened after the first Halving. Now it’s a good time to start investing if you’re hoping to make profit from the next uptrend.

Bitcoin halving makes more price support from investors and community supporters that will give more factor for bitcoin to rise up again. We might not see the quick effect of it because of the pandemic brought by covid-19 but surely it will come again in due time because i see bitcoin will always be a potential investment. With the third halving, this will increase demand as awalys people will always to stick to that, less supply more demands.

We need to wait until the demise of COVID-19 to be able to tell markets' behavior in the mainstream world. While Bitcoin has quickly recovered to "pre-COVID" prices, it's still way below its latest ATH of $20k per coin. The third halving had little to no effect on Bitcoin's price within the short term. Maybe after 2 to 3 years from now, Bitcoin will be able to rise further in price. If that happens, altcoins will go all the way to the moon in a blink of an eye. The pioneer cryptocurrency is the reserve currency of the crypto market, where its price movements (either negative or positive) greatly determine altcoins' "footsteps".

I'd say that now it's the best time to buy altcoins, especially undervalued ones like Cardano and Ethereum sitting in the top ranks in market cap. There will be a "boom" in crypto prices in Bitcoin's next bull market for sure. Once miners find themselves losing profit, they'll quickly pump the price on the market. The closest altcoins to Bitcoin (like Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin, etc..) will have the biggest gains in the shortest time possible. After COVID-19, there will be a gradual recovery of the world's economy, resulting in a positive environment for the entire crypto/Blockchain industry. As long as you "buy the rumors, and sell the news", you'll be able to still make profit with Bitcoin and other altcoins in times of need. Just my thoughts ;D

That wasn't an effect of the halving, that's the product of people's optimism. Technically, the Bitcoin block halving doesn't change the Bitcoin price, It is the people who made the price to move.
Majority of the investors in crypto space loves to follow the trend, as the TA's doesn't seem enough to speculate the market movement. So, they are making a hype out of the past 2 halvings which sparks new ATH. These hype might change the market sentiments from bearish to bullish. So, that means, the post-halving doesn't guarantee a new ATH in the coming months or year.

Of course there is always the possibility that Bitcoin will reach another All time high. We can see that the Cryptocurrency Industry is not dying any sooner and might even gain a boost in popularity if we keep on promoting it. It will reach new heights and we should just wait and see on how things will go for Cryptos but for being part of this industry, we need to make sure to keep supporting.
