The halving just officially happened! Happy Halving everyone!

Woo. I've been watching a lot of live streams for this halving. This means a lot and it's not like this with the last halving, a lot of people have waited for that block to be mined.

Special mention to AntPool for mining that 630000 historical block and to F2Pool for the 629999 block.

Happy BTC halving.

Yeah... Lets see how this is going to interact with everybody involved, the miners, hodlers and maybe traders. We are likely to witness a price volatility. Bitcoin currently at 8,519, still on correction perhaps but halving is here for sure.

Congrats to his historical halving block, that would be a headstone of them in the crypto space.

I've been watching live streams also for when the block reaches 630,000 I don't know I just feel like excited watching it haha ;D

Now let us watch how would the market will behave on the 3rd halving, what you guys bet on the price it will be after a day, a week and a month?

BTC now currently at $8500, just earlier as I checked it was on $8700. Anyways Happy Halving!

I wouldn't count on it short term.  Long term, much more likely.

It was nice to see the block pop up on the CLI.  Watching for a block is kind of like watching grass grow, but I've watched all three now just because it is an interesting and perhaps historical thing.

Happy halving to all my friends around the world of Bitcoin who have been miners from the first bitcoin halving. We have together make this historical and about to move into another new era of the most important part of Bitcoin technology. Although, the price at which the bitcoin halving meant us still be okay even though our expectations were higher than what we were left with. Hope the price shoot from here for another celebration

happy halving to all, lost all my btc in RFR scam tho !!
waited tooo long for this and now finally when it came i am broke !!

184152 Shoutout !!

I lost all the income of my life through some bad person in 2017, I came to this crypto world, I have held some Altacoin Holds since then, and I am hoping that when Bitcoin Halving will come, I finally got Bitcoin Halving, but now it is a matter of watching Halving who will give us yet, not sure, waiting and calling God, for something good, what is your condition?BTC

Happy halving :) I am only few years active with btc and cryptocurrencies and my expectations of this incoming halving was that price will eventually be stable but disappointed when it dumped almost 20% two days before halving.. hope that days to come will bring more stability to price...

This is my first year in this forum with the halving, I was only few weeks in crypto before the 2016 . Bitcoin wont be expecting any big events soon, we should expect the market to hit the previous all time high before any thing all. The shortest time to break the ATH after halving was a year and most bull run is withing 1-2 years after halving, if things remain the same and halving occur in next 4 years we should expect the same trend with little differences in period.

Did you catch the message F2Pool put in the coinbase of #629999?

It certainly feels historical to me! After all these years, we have really come full circle, haven't we?

2009: "The Times 03/Jan/2009 Chancellor on brink of second bailout for banks"
2020: "NYTimes 09/Apr/2020 With $2.3T Injection, Fed's Plan Far Exceeds 2008 Rescue"

I can't believe I'm finally part of one of these events! I was watching the halving livestream on (youtube channel I won't mention to avoid promotion), pretty cool. I've seen that hash rate hasn't taken a huge hit so far so that's good

Thanks for the info, Yes, it really feels historical to be part of this event. First time to witnessed such event, it will be full circle for those who's into bitcoin in 2012 and seen the very first halving (although they might not be interested that time).

This is my second halving and in the first halving no one expected the price to move higher like they did and i was introduced into bitcoin because of that rally and it was breaking news and then it is history and today the halving parties were fun in social media sites with many live streaming in twitter and youtube. I missed the forum party because i was not familiar with discord.

Bad halving because bitcoin keep dump and look never reach target of many holder, almost all holder and investor claimed they will be success with bitcoin going to higher price in this halving time, but checking with the reality bitcoin keep down without get anything effect with halving moment.

This is the first time i saw halving. Watched live on YouTube. The feelings was awesome! But i'm a little bit worried about the price. Because it's keep falling.

It's my first halving experience! Happy BTC Halving! 11-05-2020

Like countdowns waiting for the turn of the year :D
This is the moment we've been waiting for. While there has been no significant market movement. Hopefully, this can be a good hope in this difficult time, although we have not been able to see a good impact in the near future, like the previous period which took months to reach the big pump.

what do you mean by RFR scam ??
pls give som details

This is it! The long awaited event to happen but as I write this today it seems that the price is in a casual price from the last month. No new movements no sudden rise but still we have to wait for the bullish market that we were expecting. Uear 2021 is the best year for that but from now on we should continue what we were doing since this halving is just a start. Happy halving! 8)

Keep dump what? When? You mean the price swing happened within 2-3 days? It's not because of the halving.

And literally speaking, halving won't have a direct involvement directly to the market why the price should go up. It will still depend on a people's point of view whether how they looked at the halving.

And you mentioned holder, then what will be the price today should be totally out of their concern as the purpose is to hold more.

Since halving is done, then our next step is to find how it gradually changes the market price.
We have a good price during halving and we are expecting a huge uplift after. But something I have to think differently because we are still in the fight against the pandemic. Bullrun is what we wanted to happen but I feel we have to miss it again because of some circumstances unless if we are not really affected by the global market.

There's no fiat currency in the world capable of quantitative tightening and scarce except Gold and Bitcoin. This is why Bitcoin will sky rocket in the next 3 years because it doesn't have infinite amount like in fiat the value cannot be devalued with inflation. The price in the coming will surely have a positive effect after this halving. Happy Halving !  :)

Happy halving everyone...we are going to see a good but weird 4 years ahead of us.

Deym! Anybody else joined the "halving prediction contest?" I answered May 12  :D
Anyway , the third Bitcoin block halving just arrived and the miners block reward will be cut into half again, and they need some hardware upgrade again as well.
Now, let's just hope for a good price run after this event, that might keep the miners motivated to continue their Bitcoin mining career.
I wonder if there were actually small time miners who will quit this time?

Yeah it could be something similar as many people are expecting btc history repeating. But who knows.. We will see if we will have new btc ath until next halving. We all hope so :)

Happy Halving too, the price of Bitcoin has not changed in the last 2 days, haven't been able to break through $ 10k

contest held by BestChange? I answer the same as you on 12/5/2020  :D

This is indeed a great moment for the cryptocurrency market, the long anticipated even of the year just happened  successfully, i was not in this space yet when the previous one happened but i doubt if it has so much much anticipation like the just concluded one, i guess the market haven't seen this much adoption then. I can't really wait to see the impact it will bring to the market, i hope it will really benefits us

Yeah exactly short term the halving effect is very low. Just daily trading is much more significant than any short term halving effect. But long term what the halving does is slowly build up the pressure from reduced supply over a long period of time. Which is why price usually goes ballistic the following year after a halving. It's like just turning up a stove one notch higher, it's not gonna make it explode as soon as you do that, but it'll gradually heat up a little more and the next time there is a big catalyst it boils over.

My prediction was true, AntPool gets the block...

Happy halving for all, remember now is harder to get new Bitcoins so, use them wisely and hold all you can, because bitcoin's future only has one way.

Let's hope fees don't go high to the moon.

grats mate thats a nice prediction but btw arent there any gambling or betting in regards of halving ? that is exciting and you could have won that too  .  thanks for some tips too but i think that mainly applies to miners but for us that arent miners i think we still can easily get btc's by just buying it directly  .  still we shouldnt waste our btc on unwanted things because like i said earlier miners are having a hard time to mine it so we must value thier efforts   .  for the fees i think the fees will still depend on the price of btc

Happy halving i guess. Well i though for a moment that it was Slushpool but no, it had to be the Chinese overlords... Ah well.

The price has been very good, remarkably stable. I hope people calm down and see Bitcoin for what it truly is.

 It's my first time to see and experience bitcoin halving. Today is the day where I can  finally witness how bitcoin will be going to move at this moment and after halving.
 This is also the time if the theories of bitcoin enthusiast will gonna happen or not. Happy btc halving everyone!

The bitcoin just dump today and still, it's not clear if the price will go skyrocket or just go down again. We all know that the pump on the past halving happen few month after the halving itself so we can expect that too, this time. Let's see what is going to happen after few months but today let's just hold our coins!!!

Happy BTC halving everyone!!!  ;D ;D ;D

I am really sad after seeing there's no any specific changes in the price movement, Halving was the talk of this entire forum and everyone are optimistic but it looks like there will not be any major pump in price.

Whatever happens is only for good in my opinion and I believe this there's a lot of time left even now let's wait and see.

For every previous halving, price dumped around halving a bit but eventually it kept rising after the halving and reaching a new high within the next 1 and half years. So, be patient and believe in bitcoin. More than 90% of bitcoin is already in supply and we are running out of new coins. So it's best to accumulate as much as our finance allows us in this dump.

Happy Halving!
I am as excited as all of you. It is my first halving. At some point I felt a little scared in case the price fell but then I erase that thought from my mind and enjoyed 100% my first Halving.
Guys, we are a strong community, let's keep optimism and the hope that we will do great things with BTCitcoin.

Bitcoin's third halving, the network's quadrennial landmark and the most anticipated event this year in the cryptocurrency industry, has finally happened.Miners racing on the network to compete for freshly minted bitcoin produced the 630,000th block at 19:23 UTC on May 11, which triggered the programmed halving event, marking another milestone in the currency's 11-year history.The first block in the new 6.25-bitcoin-per-block mining cycle was mined and relayed by China-based Antpool, the fourth-largest mining pool by total computing power.Bitcoin, the world's first and largest blockchain network by market capitalization, was designed by its anonymous creator Satoshi Nakamoto to reduce the rewards for mining each block by half every 210,000 blocks in order to slow down the injection of new supply to the network as time goes by.The mining reward is an economic incentive for those who contribute computing power to securing the network, as well as processing transactions on the network since no single entity functions as a central bookkeeper.
The 2020 halving, the third in the network's history, means the mining reward has now been reduced from 12.5 bitcoin per block to 6.25 units. It went down to 25 from 50 bitcoin per block in November 2012 and further decreased to 12.5 units in July 2016.

Don't found any reason to become happy due to bitcoin halving. I belive, bitcoin price is dumped due to penic sell for corona virus. Still no mejor movement being noticed. But if bitcoin get pumped after a week or month, then that's obviously good news for everyone.
After all its halving  ;D

Congratulations to your prediction and I have bold the part that should be realized by most now that the halving's done. They have to think that difficulty has increased as the mining reward was lessen. Less inflation as we say.

While we're still not yet to the point of the peak, accumulate and accumulate. That's what everyone has to do. Just be prepare to whatever will be the outcome within the next months of this year.

I can remember the 2016 halving and the attention that bitcoin got wasn't like this. But, yesterday was truly different. I've seen a lot of live streams on Youtube that's monitoring the last block to be mined.

There is also a newspaper that published bitcoin halving into their article. Peter Schiff twitted about bitcoin halving and greeted us.

https://twitter.com/PeterSchiff/status/1259935564624789504

And even if we assume that the demand for Bitcoin remains the same, and he will grow up anyway, the supply of coins in the cryptocurrency market will decrease. And this suggests that the deficit of Bitcoin in the cryptocurrency market in any case will positively affect its price. the only right decision today, after halving, is to continue to accumulate Bitcoin on their wallets, as well as other rating cryptocurrencies that are constantly rising in price after bitcoin.
Almost every halving brings positive changes not only for bitcoin, but for the entire cryptocurrency market. therefore, you can congratulate all cryptocurrency users on this event.

What can I say - this is my first halving of bitcoin and so far I see no radical changes. The price makes same up and down jumps. What probably have a big impact of halving are transactions and speed, but as far as I see, number of unconfirmed transactions havent change dramatically.

I'm not so sure, but one thing I'm sure about is it feels historical.

For those who don't know it.

The Genesis block or Bitcoin's first block, had a headline of the "Times" of that day.

I wonder what Satoshi feels about right now. :D

Another memorable moment for crypto community or I should say Bitcoin community,
Somewhere the pandemic effected the joy of this halving but without any doubt it was on full hype now it will be interesting to see that how much positive impact it may leave hopefully the people won't get disappointed who have lot of expectations with Bitcoin.

at the moment yes, there is not much change, but it was not expected either, miners and traders need time to swallow new stage with decreased supply of new BTC on the market, from estimated 1800 a day to estimated 900 a day
it will need some time, probably at least a month for the halving to influence BTC price, and up to that moment, it is expected to have sideways trading, but you should always analyze before investment and read about halving, and BTC, and what halving means for BTC, compared to national banks policies

I am happy that half of it happened yesterday and I only hope that in the next few days there will be a surge in the crypto market because this is what I have been waiting for and want to see bullish coming back.

My target of above $ 10,000 has become an advantage and I hope there will be more benefits there, with the reduced block that means it is likely to be limited to bitcoin.

happy halving  ;) ;)

this is my second halving, i hope so much that what happened four years ago will be repeated once again, the difficult thing will be reaching the ATH but not impossible, after the btc value it could grow exponentially, we all hope well  ;D

3 halving, I only passed two time. First 2017 when the rewad block reduced from 25BTC / block to 12.5 BTC and this month from 12.5BTC to 6.25 BTC. Total circulation suply until now 18,376,088 BTC and Market capitalization $164,249,145,292.50, wow this is awesome. Hopefully when 210,000 more blocks in 2024 I can still see it. This halving Very different from last years, pandemic virus in the world is a big effect for BTC. But the halving process will reduce inflation and raise prices and this is definitely happening.

i could say that im more excited more than happy  . excited because i see and feel that many people are also waiting for the same moment .

happy because they say the price will sky rocket after halving but i know the effects are not instant but it could also take time in order for the changes to take effect . some people might think differently and say that price will not increase  because of the pandemic .

A very historic day of Bitcoin that conducted the third halving in the crypto world history and congratulations also to AntPool for getting the last mined block. This is a celebration needs to have because it will be a start of great increase on bitcoin's price and great demand as well in the near future. It will have a big significance to miners and investors to continue to support bitcoin's ideology until the last bitcoin will be mined.

so far there is no place for celebration because nothing that halving
 brings us but staying at 8k level,we tried to
 break 9k last night yet failure,maybe we are not still ready for the Bull
since the effect of this bad economic crisis
 from Corona Virus is still covering the whole world.but lets wait for annther
1 month or 2 and see what is the goodness that
 this halving can give us,hopefully we can feel and taste our fruits from the long time waiting.

Even the halving already happened there is still no high movement but maybe it takes few weeks before it's rise again the value.
Im excited of the halving because it's reminds this what happened in the 2017 when after halving cryptocurrency is become very and I earned more profit and I hope it will happened again my earnings in the year of 2017 in this year.

Why you should be afraid? let us say that price falls and that is the time that you should take it as a way to increase your buying power. Miners might stop mining due to halving but soon they'll be back.

And then, some huge miners will take that space that was left by those who stopped. Look at the positive side instead of thinking negativities that will inflict your decision making in the future, look to the brighter side.

Maybe the price will slowly to increase, and I see that the price now can rise to $9,100 so the chance to grow more will be wide open. But we cannot expect it will happen so soon because bitcoin cannot be predicted as easy as it says. The bitcoin will be an increase in the right time and the right moment, so be patient until the price can start to increase.

Full circle indeed! Congrats everyone on that!

This whole situation reminds me of this scene from my fav movie:

https://i.imgur.com/U48aSrb.png

Anyway, let's hope for the best. Let's hope it's a new cycle of the spiral, of an ascending, not a descending one. :)

Maybe not either, we have talked about halving a lot so I think we are all just sitting and waiting for a good run on the price but we did not see it coming so we are waiting up til now. I guess what happened on the price when it reaches $10K is that people who bought in between $5K to $6K range just secured their profit since we already anticipated that there will be a massive bull run after the halving. I don't want to assume that halving do not really affects the bitcoin price and we are just all focusing on it.

Some people have been saying that halving will cause a decrease in price because a lot of miners are going to stop mining Bitcoin because they are not getting enough reward to handle their expenses, but I don't think that's going to be the case now.

The price has been going up since after the halving and that means the miners will keep steady, mining Bitcoin. Even those that felt they should quit will still continue to mine the Bitcoin because they will notice that the price has been going up and they will continue to mine it. And there might even be a FOMO will lead Bitcoin to a higher price.

The halving is a big event! It will be interesting to see where things go from here.

The long wait is over, now most of us are observing how the market will behave with this halving. Hoping we will see a jump increase in price. Yes it is really interesting as to what price this time will go since we anticipate of increase happen in bitcoin.

Many of us want to see a big jump but I don't see any of this will come quickly since as of now we have questionable stability due to the crisis but I still optimistic about things and for sure halving will bring a positive vibes to all people since this is the most awaited event on crypto industry and provably demand will rise in this upcoming days.

Happy to see another Bitcoin halve on a ground star and thus time the surprise was pretty good among the holders of bitcoin. The awaited time for the halving has happened and  gone, we're ready to see another Bitcoin move this period, although, the way the market had started will probably end good for long-term holders. Few days after the bitcoin halve, the price of bitcoin has been improving day to day and very soon we might be seeing a good one in few months from here. Weaker hands will fall for this period before the price will skyrocket, so, hold your stash-up.

woo!Anyway it was witnesses of my first time to see and experience how bitcoin halving happen.That  was the day when I was  eventually witnessed a most discussing thing in recent crypto space  called halving.
This is also the time if the Laws of bitcoin specialists will gonna occur or not. Happy btc halving to all of you guys!

I agree! Glad it is over and we can move forward to the next halving.

We are hoping that, bitcoin price must increase at least we will be happy if the price stable at $15.000, I just curious with the reward that will get by miners. They must spend a lot of money in order to their system still operating because if the miner gone slowly we will see the dump for bitcoin price soon.

And now, I doubt investing too early as I believe its effect will take place in the long run. Though, there might be some short term increase due to hype and people who believe that the market will increase right after the bitcoin halving.

- What is evident with bitcoin halving occurrence is the increasing number of bitcoin address being created day by day, this means that there is a greater market adoption and this market adoption is what will drive the bitcoin price higher in the next few years. Well, this is all based on my opinions and speculations.

This time this is my first halving and also the first halving party because previously I didn't realize that the bitcoin can be the most profitable thing I may have today because from the start of the year of 2016 I just ignore the world of cryptocurrency because I did not know what I need to do to make more earnings of the bitcoin because from that year I'm not good at the world of internet but today with the recent year I made a good start head I make research into the world of bitcoin gets more profit or income and grab the opportunity to make more learning regarding with this topic. Now I earn a lot of assets with the help of it and this is my first time halving with the use the bitcoin. I regret that I did not make included in the world of bitcoin because It was the highest market price on that year and today is the first halving I'm looking forward to giving more market income and profit on this year by the help of the halving, still we need to take a look about the possible things may happen to make sure we grab the opportunity. Still Happy halving to everyone to make more market income and profit. I hope we earn more profit this time.


I think some of us today will grab to make an investment when the market price of the coin reaches the dip it is a great opportunity by using the buy low and sell high technique or strategy you can now make a lot of income still the market is volatile we cannot assure that we will win all of our games today.

It's true that the bitcoin halving that we have been waiting for is finally happening. But I am quite disappointed with this third halving.
I expect that when halving occurs, the price of bitcoin can exceed the price of $ 10k, and in reality this does not happen. Even so I still
hope the price of bitcoin can continue to rise, I am optimistic that bitcoin can return to the price of all time high. I predict that can be
achieved in 2021.

A shotout to all of us present here and all the bitcoin hodlers who held on to their bitcoins in the current halving.
We all have been a part of a great historical event. Someday in the future we will comeback to this thread and remembers us making posts about how excited we are today to be a part of such a global event. Thumbsup to all of us here.

Almost all Bitcointalk members waited the moment when bitcoin halved its supply. Others are speculating that bitcoin price will grow up but seems like it fail us. Many miners are will also ruin because the revenue they will get from mining bitcoin will decrease.

However, belated happy halving to all of you guys.

bitcoin halving is when the pace of new bitcoin creation is cut in half, which happens about every four years. In May 2020, bitcoin miners will go from earning 12.5 bitcoins, the units for which are abbreviated as BTC, per block mined to 6.25 BTC. The bitcoins in your wallet or at an exchange will remain just as safe as they were before the halving. Yes, a new Bitcoin halving will happen on May 17, 2020, and after this event, the block reward will be halved again to 6.25 BTC. Such a reduction will lead to an increase in demand and, accordingly, price.

Hate to sound pessimistic, but demand will not necessarily increase due to halving. Neither the "supply" will decrease causing the price rising. The thing is that it's not only miners who sell their BTC for USD each day. To get a better idea of what's happening on the market, consider the following: 1,800 BTC were mined each day before the recent halving, while the daily trading volume is almost always above 3,000,000 BTC during the recent months. My point is whether it's 1,800 BTC mined each day, as it used to be, or it's 900 BTC, like it is today, the impact on the market's supply-demand situation is negligible.

Don't be afraid, if it's your first time then trust the market.

You should have faith in BTC when you're having a long term investment especially if you don't need the money just hold it in BTC. Bitcoin is trying to reach and surpass the $10k peak, so definitely it's impossible to go down during Q3-Q4 of the year. I managed to look at the BTC price for the whole day and notice that it's stable at $9.6k so I guess bull run is near.

I still believe in bitcoin investment in the long run because we will need time to wait for the right time where the bullrun will occur, yeah indeed this halving does not make a surprise even a decline that continues to occur even stuck at prices below $ 10k, maybe in Q2 will last at current prices but I'm sure in Q4 it will start showing its movements because that's what is being predicted.

However, if you have funds, it is more likely to be sufficient to survive, compared to having to trade on a daily basis, with good skills.

when halving occurs that day it will not have any effect but in the future bitcoin will be more expensive because bitcoin will be more difficult to obtain because when halving occurs the difficulty level for breaking blocks for miniers will be higher and the resulting will be less so the price of bitcoin will become very expensive soon.

Many people are starting to be pessimistic, to be exact a newbie. that carried the current of halving hysteria, so fomo. When there was no significant change, they began to regret and say that this failed. Well ... this is just the beginning, let's be patient for a few more months. To be able to survive, we should read more about halving, market movements afterwards, and other matters related to it.

Because the effect will be felt after a few months :) about one year. Based on historical data from the previous halving period. Do not worry.
