Title: how many halvings have you witnessed?
Post by: Zoomic on October 12, 2023, 11:26:17 PM
I am yet to witness any halving and the purported bull run that accompanies it. This is the reason for this topic. I want to ask people that have witnessed many halvings if there has been a halving that was not accompanied by a bull run.
I also want to know if the majority of people always know that there is a bull run after every halving as in the case of this period. I am of the opinion that the reason the halving bull run is always effective is because of the ignorance of many who will join the bitcoin market at the very wrong time. Now that many people are aware of the upcoming halving and may likely not enter the market the wrong time, whose ignorance will push the price up. Or is the reduction of miners reward able to do it alone?

There has been three bitcoin halving. After each halving, bullrun followed it. With how the price of bitcoin has been increasing, it is evident that only reducing mining reward can not do it, increasing demand is another reason. The mining reward is reducing, but the reward is still adding to the circulating supply and the effect is reduction in price, but in a way that it is not significant. The demand will increase the marketcap and increase in the marketcap means increase in the price of bitcoin.

I missed 2012 halving, learned Bitcoin later around early 2013. You can see what happened after the halving from the charts. You don't need to be directly involved in it at that time. Many articles have been written about this, you can read them. What you need to remember is that we cannot say that Bitcoin will definitely rise after the halving. It will most likely rise, but it would be a mistake to be so certain. Better be prepared for that time.

You don't need to ask anyone, the full price history is available on many websites. You can clearly see a pattern that the price starts growing after the halvening, and typically 1 year after the halvening there's a strong bull market.

I also want to know if the majority of people always know that there is a bull run after every halving as in the case of this period. I am of the opinion that the reason the halving bull run is always effective is because of the ignorance of many who will join the bitcoin market at the very wrong time.

Or is the reduction of miners reward able to do it alone?

There were similar predictions in the previous bull runs that they won't repeat because people will be expecting them. And yet they repeated, but you can see that the relative growth is slowing down. There's no x100 returns like it was before.

I think I have experienced one (1) halving.

I remember people were excited on why the halving happened as I was a newbie when that happened. In fact, I was not aware of its opportunities and potentials when people were taking advantage of this phenomenon. Now that I have a better understanding on the cryptocurrency world, the halving is now one of those events that I keenly look forward to.

To all newbies that are starting and reading this thread, I highly recommend saving or purchasing BTCs before the halving starts. Once it ends, then expect prices of cryptocurrencies to skyrocket; take it as an advantage to invest either short or long-term depending on your goal.

Just to put a disclaimer here, while it is likely that the price will increase, there is no harm in preparing for the worst. For example, you should be prepared that a year after halving or so, the profit you expect doesn't come. Make sure you don't go all-in or take a loan or do something stupid like that just because people believe you'll get a 5x increase and so on. Basically, make sure you don't forget to do risk management regardless of how much money you want to invest.

So far I have witnessed two halvings, 2016 and 2020, and I am about to watch my third halving with the one coming on 2024, however I recommend that you do not concentrate that much on the halving, since even if a bull run were to not happen this time around it would not matter for a long term holder.

The point of long term holding is to always have in reserve a great deal of coins when bitcoin finally goes up in value, so you could use them to buy something you want or sell some of it for fiat, so never forget that for a long term holder the halvings are not really a goal, they are just the means to get what they want.

According to a survey, less than 5% of the world's population invests in bitcoin, which means that not too many people know about the upcoming halving that will send bitcoin higher. Only those who have been participating in the market know about this important event, so we should not worry too much that everything is saturated or becomes too predictable. The number of bitcoin investors is nothing compared to other markets, we are still very small.

I believe that as long as the market increases suddenly, there will always be a large number of new investors rushing into the market for speculation purposes and most of them will Fomo buy at high prices while old investors will take profits.

Do not try to build a financial experience according to other people’s personal experiences about investing or stories you hear from here and there. You must have a clear investment plan because the method of calculating profit for each user here may be somewhat unique and differ depending on the country, taxes, investment amount and investment experience.
I have witnessed two bear markets and one bull market, and the best advice for you is to completely distance your emotions during such times.

Keep your expectations in check, because past performance is not indicative of future results. If you're just betting on a bull market after the halving, what will you do if you ended up being wrong? Your investment/trade thesis immediately crumbles.

Post by: cafter on October 13, 2023, 02:20:11 AM
We have an excellent probability of making money during the halving because miners will receive a smaller reward and are unlikely to sell the bitcoin they have earned thus far.
Instead, they will attempt to maintain the current price of bitcoin since they own the majority of it, balancing mining costs and supply.
Because the price of bitcoin increased every time after it was halved, people who view the chart and believe that "this time will be different" avoid investing during the prices are low, watch full bull market without investing.
We cannot know the future, maybe that time will be different... or same.

When talking about the future, no one can be sure what will happen, history may or may not repeat itself. Therefore, in investing, what we need to do is prepare for every possible situation. Optimism is essential for our investment portfolio but we should not be subjective and always have a backup plan. Although I have been lucky enough to experience 2 bull seasons, I cannot guarantee that things will repeat this time and what I am doing is preparing a plan for both bullish and non-bullish scenarios for bitcoin.

IIRC, I have witnessed two halvings that were followed by a bull run. This is why you can't eliminate the hype surrounding halving events; people expect a bull run to follow. So, we are in another exciting time again. As the halving is approaching, we should consider accumulating more crypto as we never know when the market will take off. History suggests that it's likely to happen after the halving, so we should consider betting on that.

As far as I remember, the only time I really understood the effect of halving on the market was 2 halvings, because halving in 2012 only knew about it without understanding it had a huge impact on the market and became a reference for many traders to start being very active in trading because the market was very active so they could get profits from daily trading is huge.
The halving and after that entering the bullrun period which provided a lot of profits was 2016-2017, while the halving and subsequent bullruns did not have time to experience big profits but I am sure that those who have been paying attention to Bitcoin and the market for a long time will always look forward to the period after the halving, or what we usually do call the four-year cycle.

You do not need to witness a halving to know if it was accompanied by a bullrun or not. It's easy to know the years we have had halvings, there's one coming up next year 2024, so we must have had one four years before in 2020 (cause 210,000 blocks comes averagely every 4 years), then we had another in 2016 and 2012.

We have had three halvings in total, 2012, 2016, and 2020, now check for the periods of bullruns through the charts;
• In 2013, after the first halving, Bitcoin hit an ATH of ~$1000 and did not go past that again until after 2016.
• In 2017, Bitcoin rose to another ATH of ~$20,000 and did not go past that again until after 2020,
• In 2021, Bitcoin hit a new ATH of $67,000 and has not gone past that since then.

This means that ever halving has been accompanied by a bullrun so far.

<snip> Now that many people are aware of the upcoming halving and may likely not enter the market the wrong time, whose ignorance will push the price up. Or is the reduction of miners reward able to do it alone?
Relatively, there is still a lot of people who are not aware of when the halving occurs or even why it is significant. There are also many people not aware of Bitcoin, so will millions billions yet to enter the market.
Even without an increase in demand, a reduction in supply influx is enough to cause an increase in price, increasing supply against demand.

Historically, bitcoin has gone through three halvings and has always had a bull market afterward. That is the basis for us to believe that things will repeat and we will have another bull season, but we also need to be careful because there is no guarantee that things will repeat.

There have been many theories about this, when everything is becoming so clear and easy to predict, will it continue to happen? I've also thought about this but it's the future and we can't say anything. I will continue to believe in history until new history is created.

Well, I became interested in bitcoin around May 2017, so about a year after the halving but in the run-up to the bull run that took the price from $1,000-odd to $20,000 at the end of the year. I experienced the 2020 bull run, although I was not active on the forum at the time, but the same thing happened in both, a bull run with an all time high between 6 months and a year and a bit later, although the last ath was disappointing, as we all expected more.

The question is for future halvings, not for past halvings because you can check the chart and see Bitcoin always has its bull run with past three halvings.

Lazy to check chart, this guy makes it for you.

Satoshi Nakamoto designs 32 halvings for Bitcoin and we are less than 200 days to a fourth halving.

I witnessed all of them except the first one. In many cities there was some halving parties and I usually waited and watched when the block was found. I would then check and see the block reward if it actually decreased.

You gotta becareful with miners however. Many sell their mining equipment right before the halving and it tricks some new people because all of a sudden their profitability decreased by half over night pretty much.

Too many times and all of them are successful in terms of making the crypto market all green especially it will be the same reason to create another bull runs because of its trends and people will know it more and they will be interested to invest because it will be the best time to enter the crypto industry via investing in bitcoins. that's why we always have a new ATH after that because there are lots of people added to the list of new investors by that time.

have seen 2 halving  happened in front of me  , but the sad part is that I am stupid to not accumulate enough Bitcoin before the Bullrun happens and that made me a loser or a crying man after each halving.
and I never learn my lesson from the 2017 that I made the same mistake in 2021 but now? this 2024? I will never let myself turns as a loser again.

I have experienced 2 halving events first in 2016 and second was in 2020 and yeah these both halving gave bitcoin a really high boost in price after a few months after the halving. So, this is kind of like a trend for the bullrun for the people who have witnessed all three halvings.
However, you should still invest what you can afford to lose. Though a lot of us here are anticipating for another bullrun but it isn't guaranteed that it'll happen. There might be a huge possibility, but the price range of how huge or how small the pump is are not guaranteed as well.

I have been experiencing it for many years and every year it is the same...... the hype starts a month or two before the actual event and it gets a lot of attention prior to the actual event, which means that the interest in Bitcoin increase and the price also going up.. before... the Halving occur.

This will only happen, if there are no other negative event that might cancel that affect on the price. There is also not a significant increase in the price.... so do not expect fireworks.  ::)

Too bad I missed the previous bitcoin halving. Because I haven't invested in bitcoin before the previous bitcoin halving. But after yesterday's halving I was one of those who became familiar with and interested in Bitcoin. Because when the latest halving occurred, we know that crypto hype really controlled the media.

But even though I have never experienced a Bitcoin halving, I have seen market charts since the first Bitcoin halving. I compare it at every halving. And there is almost the same pattern. It's just that the interesting fact is that every time a Bitcoin halving occurs, a new ATH is always created afterwards. This is what is really interesting. And I also want to join for the next halving. Because I think the next halving will really be more interesting. Because it seems that even large institutions have started to enter and become interested in Bitcoin.

I can see many people focusing their certainty on Bitcoin pump after the halving, I wasn't here in 2012 halving and that's the only halving period I missed in the past, I noticed that Bitcoin gain momentum some months later after the halving, so if you are thinking that Bitcoin will spike after the halving you are going to be disappointed, all I can say is bear market can be very hard, I believe 2024 will be the hardest part of the bear season where many people will give up.

I am simply emphasizing on what has happened before, and I believe it will happen again, maybe people will get tired of holding, and many will take their losses and move out of the market, the momentum always returns when people don't expect, and that's where big investors will start coming back into crypto, I missed making the biggest gains in 2021 I believe I never made enough and I won't let this change slide again.

If you are smart you will keep DCA into Bitcoin gradually, as we are now in a crossroads where we don't know which way Bitcoin will go next, instead of trying hard to know it's better to be prepared for anything, keep buying Bitcoin as time goes by is the best investment strategy.

2024 will be my third & I expect it to be better than the last one which I believe was suppressed, interrupted, kept down or whatever by various things. FTX were selling customer bitcoin to suppress the price, COVID played a role & also China banning bitcoin right in the middle of the bull really screwed us. I think we missed the crazy, parabolic top but we will get it this time.

I have only known Bitcoin and crypto since mid 2017, so I only have witnessed 1 Halving previously on 2020. From I notice, the previous halving have more hype than the current upcoming halving. Probably because there was only few big news happening nearly towards the halving date, while for the upcoming halving there are too many big news like wars, ETF, recession, .etc. So the hype for halving is distracted.

Like you, I have not been able to witness the halving till now. When I started learning about new bitcoin, I heard discussions about this bitcoin halving among my older brothers. But so far I have not been able to join that discussion.

How does this change Bitcoin?

The main reason for halving is to expand the market and disclose its detailed activities The fact that each time the price is increased means that the prize will never decrease, it will continue to increase Temporarily the reward appears to be decreasing, but actually the reward is not decreasing In fact it is acting as a strategy to add supply The demand in the market is constantly increasing, and the market is expanding a lot, so the Bitcoin market is growing rapidly day by a day, that is why the reward rate seems low in terms of price. I have not got a halving yet but from what I have heard or analyzed the data they are sure to increase in a price but first time I thought of investing.

~snip~

As if there have been 30 halvings so far and not just 3, so we can make some meaningful conclusions on the basis of which someone should be satisfied with the answer. What is evident is that the price of BTC increases less and less after each halving and therefore it would be realistic to expect that the next halving will not cause more than x3 compared to the last ATH ($69k).

Everything anyone writes is just guesswork and mere speculation, as anyone can hope for a positive outcome, there is always the possibility that history will not repeat itself.

You have been through three halvings so what do you think about 2024 halving and future halvings after 2024?

There are 32 halving rounds and we can not live long enough to witness the 32nd halving but some more halvings are possible. I think in future, with future halvings, Bitcoin will have smaller effects for each halving because price can grow up with each halving but when Bitcoin market cap becomes big enough, it might be harder to increase more in price on the market. In future, Bitcoin will come to saturated time when halvings will have less price impact.

I got to know Bitcoin in mid-2017, so I  missed that of 2016 halving. The 2020 Bitcoin halving was the very first time I experienced halving. I can tell you that the experience was great with the performance of Bitcoin and cryptocurrency then, where most of my portfolios did greatly after the halving, with the Federal Reserve printing 20% more money in existence as a catalyst to the bull run after the main event. No one no knows what this particular one would be like seeing the kind of event that has taken place lately, precisely the crumbling economies of the world as a result of the increasing inflation.

Well I am  playing like we will do above 69.5k.

Frankly even if we get over 60k I will do okay.

We greatly expanded the mine. But we have not spent all of our profits doing so.

I haven’t witnessed any either since I joined the bitcoin community just two years ago. But all the books and research I have done about bitcoin, there is no place I have read or heard that the bitcoin halving was not followed by a bull run that marks a new all time high for bitcoin. This time around won’t be different from others even though the market hasn’t shown much bullish nature since the beginning of the year as compared to the times it has been bearish.

I also want to know if the majority of people always know that there is a bull run after every halving as in the case of this period. I am of the opinion that the reason the halving bull run is always effective is because of the ignorance of many who will join the bitcoin market at the very wrong time. Now that many people are aware of the upcoming halving and may likely not enter the market the wrong time, whose ignorance will push the price up. Or is the reduction of miners reward able to do it alone?

Reduction of reward by miners is not the only factor that causes the price of bitcoin to spike up after halving. This could be a major reason amongst them, but that is not enough to trigger a very strong bull run in the market. I think demand and supply, market cap and circulating bitcoin also have a role to play in this. Those entering the market at the wrong time thinking it to be the right time will one way make this bull market possible as there is correlation between buying of bitcoin and price increase in bitcoin. Many of this factors may trigger it but I think they’ve to come together all to have a massive bull run.

Frankly even if we get over 60k I will do okay.

Not so many people will be pleased to see it not exceed or reach the current ATH. Everyone believes it will go higher than the current ATH, what made you think it won’t exceed that price level and you’ll be okay with it?

Keep your expectations in check, because past performance is not indicative of future results. If you're just betting on a bull market after the halving, what will you do if you ended up being wrong? Your investment/trade thesis immediately crumbles.
I've been here during the past two halvings, experiencing both bull runs and their crashes afterwards. Although statistics state that Bitcoin is probable to thrive some period after the halving is completed, there seems to be a correlation between halvings and their price, but it's still not enough to indicate that it's going to happen. Three previous halvings aren't enough samples to make such a statement; thus, it's best to set lower expectations to avoid falling short. Personally, due to the awful economic situation, I'm not too confident about the halving and a potential bull market coming after the cycle is finished. This complete chaos isn't very promising.

Haven’t been around for just over 3years and have been active on the forum for barely 2, I haven’t really witnessed a halving for sure, nope. Yeah, I’ve been around for the halving but, wasn’t actively involved in cryptos or knew what it meant but, I’m sure to witness that of 2024 and hope to see the goods it would come with.
Can’t say I’m not optimistic about it and the possibility of a bullrun and it would be great to see some profits on the little I’ve starched away. Still trying to accumulate as much as possible though. It would mean another line of experience for me and depending on how it plays out, history would be strengthened in the space.

So far I’ve been in all the halving events besides the 2012. I wasn’t able to get into the induatry at least until 2016 when the first halving happened. It was cool and everyone was going bonkers for bitcoin back then as it was the first time that it broke well into the 20k mark. Looking forward to jiving into the next hlaving that’s coming next year and possibly the rest until I die. Bitocin’s just that cool when you wrap your head around it and while I initially had doubts over its longevity, it would seem as though these doubts will fade away with each halving passing by. Anywho, hope to see you when the halving comes bext year my friend.

I am yet to witness any halving and the purported bull run that accompanies it. This is the reason for this topic. I want to ask people that have witnessed many halvings if there has been a halving that was not accompanied by a bull run.
I also want to know if the majority of people always know that there is a bull run after every halving as in the case of this period. I am of the opinion that the reason the halving bull run is always effective is because of the ignorance of many who will join the bitcoin market at the very wrong time. Now that many people are aware of the upcoming halving and may likely not enter the market the wrong time, whose ignorance will push the price up. Or is the reduction of miners reward able to do it alone?

The bitcoin had posses many halves and many people get good benefit from each halves.The important factor is the bitcoin investors should ready to hold for the longer period.The previous halves was happened during the Covid time,So it help the many bitcoin holders to get the cash out with the reasonable money for the emergency time.As like the other savings,the bitcoin holding also help the bitcoin traders at the pandemic time.So the upcoming halves was expected one to the upcoming year.Many people holding their bitcoin for the next halves in 2024.

I witnessed 2 halving, 2016 and 2020, I am a bit late to witness the halving of 2012 since I got to know Bitcoin in 2013 and registered here in the forum in 2014.  Bitcoin does not automatically enter a bull run right after the halving, it somehow enters a momentum building first for some time before it literally enters the Bull run that records new ATH.

Right after the ATH the market seems to have a correction and eventually enters a bear market.


Keep your expectations in check, because past performance is not indicative of future results. If you're just betting on a bull market after the halving, what will you do if you ended up being wrong? Your investment/trade thesis immediately crumbles.

True that but we cannot deny the fact that history has a tendency to repeat itself.  In a plan, there should always be another option for the "what ifs" things, a button for fail-safe.

This I believe to be a very honest question since I myself have had thoughts along this line on several occasions, I came to know about bitcoin in 2016, and in 2017/2018, there was a massive bull run which I completely missed or could not make anything out from because I was still very limited in my knowledge of crypto, then, I didn't even know what halving was  and neither did I have any idea that the halving was the catalyst behind the massive growth in the price of bitcoin which eventually extended to altcoins.

In 2020/2021, Another halving happened which also was accompanied with another massive bull run, for the bull run this time, most believed it was as a result of some institutional investors coming through and investing billions of dollars in bitcoin, this massive price growth of bitcoin also extended to altcoins as well.

Now, another halving is coming, and let me say that ordinarily, I myself do not expect the halving alone to push the price of bitcoin up, there is definitely something else that will do that job, and that I don't know just yet, Maybe the much anticipated Bitcoin ETF will be finally approved by the SEC in the halving period, and this will act as the catalyst that will drive the price of bitcoin to a new all time high.
So yeah, its good to be ready for anything, while we keep our fingers crossed and hope for nothing but the best.

I only experienced halving twice in 2016 and 2020, where the price of Bitcoin only increased in 2017 and 2021. It was a beautiful and exciting moment because I saw the price reaching ATH at each halving. I guess we will see it again at the next halving next year.

And the next halving next year will be the third halving for me. There is a possibility that the price will increase greatly beyond the previous ATH and there are many speculations that the price will reach above $100k. We will see what will happen in the next halving but we cannot know when the next ATH will occur.

Maybe the next ATH will occur in 2025 or 2026 because no one knows when.

I have experienced the previous two halvings. I knew about Bitcoin in it's early years but I didn't own any until late 2015. It is actually mind blowing that in just a few months the coinbase reward will be just 3.125 Bitcoin after starting at 50 BTC.

Based on previous history many are anticipating a new ATH soon after the halving. Circumstances evolve significantly over each period so it is not a guarantee. Governments are more aware of Bitcoin now and there is more regulation. There might be more ways to obtain Bitcoin but there will always be those who wish to suppress its adoption. I am looking forward to seeing the progress it is able to make the next four years.

The halving cycle often occurs once every four years and in general there are not that many because I personally have only seen the halving twice and next year's will be the third time for me although for other people it may be more than that. So as before I also implemented a buying strategy before the halving happened and now it's the same way because now is a big opportunity for everyone to continue buying before the halving because when the increase is happening it will definitely be difficult to buy because you always have to use more capital.

Every business has a session, which is Bitcoin halving is the session of Bitcoin scarcity in the cryptocurrency market which really affect others Alt-coins price to be skyrocket base on the previous halving record. Secondly I just witnessed last halving that occurs 2020/2021 that makes Bitcoin all time high price value, which next having will be greater than previous years. Therefore the level of preparation determine the profits return investment during or after as the case maybe.

What?

I even feel uncertain about future Bitcoin halvings on Bitcoin price. Maybe it will come to halvings when Bitcoin halvings will no longer cause Bitcoin price to double, tripple several months after that.

Altcoins? They are no longer responsibility of Bitcoin halvings to increase prices of altcoins or values of altcoins. Values of altcoin projects and their tokens must be created by their developer teams, not by Bitcoin halvings.

The same thing happened to me; I only knew Bitcoin in early 2016. I still have no idea of what's it and its effect. So, I missed investing while its price was low. During that time, I went to different people asking for more information, especially those people who brought me here.

And the next halving next year will be the third halving for me. There is a possibility that the price will increase greatly beyond the previous ATH and there are many speculations that the price will reach above $100k.

All I can say is that we have enough knowledge to never repeat the same mistake in the past. We may not be able to determine the highest price Bitcoin can get, but at least we know that we must take a profit every time its price goes up.

This is going to be my first halving experience. I have read that historically the prices of Bitcoin increases such that you should expect a bull run after the event. But every halving is different. During the last halving, there were no  etf's applications, institutional interest in Bitcoin, political interest in Bitcoin and the recent innovations in Bitcoin. What we are doing is just hanging on and hoping that history will repeat itself and be favourable to us as always.

However, I didn't have money to invest at the time.According to my understanding, the primary factors contributing to the ongoing increases in the price of bitcoin are the fewer new bitcoins being produced , which can raise demand, as well as the fact that demand does grow after a halving happens.

I can see many people focusing their certainty on Bitcoin pump after the halving, I wasn't here in 2012 halving and that's the only halving period I missed in the past, I noticed that Bitcoin gain momentum some months later after the halving, so if you are thinking that Bitcoin will spike after the halving you are going to be disappointed, all I can say is bear market can be very hard, I believe 2024 will be the hardest part of the bear season where many people will give up.

I am simply emphasizing on what has happened before, and I believe it will happen again, maybe people will get tired of holding, and many will take their losses and move out of the market, the momentum always returns when people don't expect, and that's where big investors will start coming back into crypto, I missed making the biggest gains in 2021 I believe I never made enough and I won't let this change slide again.

If you are smart you will keep DCA into Bitcoin gradually, as we are now in a crossroads where we don't know which way Bitcoin will go next, instead of trying hard to know it's better to be prepared for anything, keep buying Bitcoin as time goes by is the best investment strategy.

I think it’s high time we face reality, I won’t lie I’ve also been expectant too but at this point I just need to stop making countdown for the bull run so as not to get disappointed at the long run. Thank you so much for this, it’s really going to help me prepare my mind. Talk about the DCA, I really don’t know how to use it, does it run by itself automatically? just like the Bitget smart portfolio that helps to rebalances positions within a user-selected portfolio and also ensure a constant proportion of each coin is maintained.

Please let me know how to use it.

What you said is what happened in the past and I don't want you, OP or anyone who hasn't been through bull season to be disappointed. But I think we should still be careful, I mean, there's no guarantee things will repeat exactly the same. So, we can expect a bull season after the halving, but we should also have a plan for this situation if the bull season does not take place. Because when it comes to the future, there are no guarantees, and we need to prepare for every scenario so we don't get too disappointed.

                       first one because of not that interested completely , i only got mine from signature payment in which I keep spending each week payday.
                             not until the 2017 Bull that i manage to gather good volume so I can say that its the best halving for me.

Halving is something that happens online, and Bitcoin price is monitored online as well. So, in my opinion, being involved with Bitcoin during halving does not provide any special knowledge regarding the price dynamics and the potential halving impact. There's everything available online, and people can't know more than more by the virtue of following the events when they occurred.
This thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5470331.0) has a discussion of Binance CEO's observations about halving, and I checked all the things he mentioned and can confirm that I found them accurate, even if not presenting a full picture. I personally have been around for 2 halvings, the one in 2024 will be my third.

The highest so far that has happened is three and this coming one will make it four, I've witnessed one already and next year halving will be my second, part of the interesting things to write about this event is the massive rise in the market, whereby many bitcoin investors have the opportunity to make profits from what they have Invested over time, this also extend to other cryptocurrencies as well because the market rises except for shitcoins.

This will be my third in 2024 & I can’t wait. It might not always make the price moon, in years to come when bitcoin is a more mature asset it may have less affect on the price. For now though, the reward halving is still a significant enough reduction to cause a supply shock which then sends the price up. Obviously when we are talking fractions of a bitcoin per block reward, the halving could have less of an affect. I think we will rally hard from the last half of 2024 to end of 2025.

The halving in 2024 is going to be the first one I witness with bitcoins in my wallet. The previous one that happened 3 years ago, while I was aware of it because it was all over social media, I did own any Bitcoin. I don't think I felt bad because I had not grasped what the whole halving was all about. But right now with the amount of information I possess about it, if it meets me unprepared, I'll be so pained.

The crypto market has seen three good halvings, and each of these halvings sparked a bull run months later. The crypto market will experience its fourth halving in 2024, and it is anticipated that what happened during the previous halving will repeat itself in the upcoming halving season (2024).

I'll experience my first halving and bull run in the years 2024 and 2025. According to what I have read or heard about the halving season, there has never been a halving without a bull run that followed a few months later. By next year, we will see more of the same.

all of them.

the 1st was the most fun as no one really knew how it would work out with miner profitability, hash rate and price. and people turned on just about anything that could hash to try and solve that block. iirc it was solved by a small miner on a midrange gpu.

the bull run that happened after the 1st halfing sorta set the expectations for the others. and so far every halfing has been followed by a new ath, and then a pretty good dip afterwards. repeat each halfing as needed.

just be aware that doesnt mean btc wont crash and burn this time around though. past performance and all that.

There has been three bitcoin halving. After each halving, bullrun followed it. With how the price of bitcoin has been increasing, it is evident that only reducing mining reward can not do it, increasing demand is another reason. The mining reward is reducing, but the reward is still adding to the circulating supply and the effect is reduction in price, but in a way that it is not significant. The demand will increase the marketcap and increase in the marketcap means increase in the price of bitcoin.

Right now, I've already halved twice, and third next year. In the first halving year of 2017, I experienced a profit there somehow, but in 2021, I was not able to keep up and set aside because at this time we were still in recovery from the pandemic era.

I hope this upcoming halving I will experience a good profit again, although I am already accumulating cryptos, which I think can also follow the rise in the value of Bitcoin to be honest, and I can still accumulate via dca just like some people do here anyway.

Take a look at this; the chart below is sourced from Google and appears to encapsulate what you've been inquiring about all this time.

https://www.talkimg.com/images/2023/10/23/Tmar8.png

There have been three Bitcoin halvings so far, and yes, post-halving, we've witnessed a bullish market for approximately a year. While this data is history-based, and everyone regards it as a template for reaching the next all-time high (ATH), it's crucial to remain cautious because the market's movements are truly unpredictable.

Everyone assumes that the next halving will usher in a new Bitcoin ATH. Only time will provide the answer, and the tangible evidence will be our own eyes to witness whether it truly materializes or not.

Or is the reduction of miners reward able to do it alone?

So far, I witnessed two halvings. The first one was in 2016 right when I joined the crypto world, back then I had no idea what halving is and I also didn't really follow the crypto prices closely. For me bitcoin was just another currency with which I could transfer money around in online games and take profits in my CSGO skin trading. All my coins I converted back to Fiat money, so I also didn't notice if there were any big price movements in the bitcoin price due to the halving. After a break from cryptos I came back in 2019/20 and that was my second halving I witnessed, but I didn't notice any huge price movements. Now I am really looking forward to 2024 and what the halving is going to bring to the Bitcoin market. My idea is that the price is not going to move in the short term, too many investors are expecting a price increase and there won’t enough new buyers to push up the price. And even if there would be a small increase in price, I think that many investors would like to take some profits, pushing the price back down again. It’s going to be hard to have big upswing when so many investors are believing the price is going in the same direction. All the buyers that would like to add to their Bitcoin holdings would be buying before the halving and not right after it. That is why I will remain cautious next year and rather keep holding my coins.

The crypto market has seen three good halvings, and each of these halvings sparked a bull run months later. The crypto market will experience its fourth halving in 2024, and it is anticipated that what happened during the previous halving will repeat itself in the upcoming halving season (2024).

I'll experience my first halving and bull run in the years 2024 and 2025. According to what I have read or heard about the halving season, there has never been a halving without a bull run that followed a few months later. By next year, we will see more of the same.

In the three previous halvings, the bull season took place some time after the halving and what we expect is that history will repeat itself again. But in the end, it's just our prediction and expectation, we have no evidence or anything to guarantee it will definitely repeat.

Yes, I don't want to disappoint you because it will be your first time but you need to plan further. For example, if bull season comes much later than we expected or there will be no bull season after that. What will you do and continue to wait or leave the market...? You should have a plan for those things.

I have witnessed only the halving of 2020. I was just starting out my journey. The price increased very high and some of the coins I have bought, I have paid higher amounts than today's bitcoin exchange rate. But, in every halving, the price has gone up. It's normal, since the supply decreases and thus the coins' availability is lower.

Since I started my Bitcoin journey till date, I haven't witnessed any halving but the bear and bull market seasons I have experienced and it took all grit to hold back the tears of spot trading at a wrong time like during the bearish seasons.
There's also the fees fluctuating duration these days I experienced and it affected trading pairs and conversion rates/fees between exchanges and P2p.

The halving am looking forward to isn't far from now, and by April/May 2024, we can know exactly how the outcome of the halving will be. No doubts about the expected bull run after the halving, am more glad I am going to witness it as a Bitcoin enthusiasts, investor, trader and a Bitcointalk forum member most importantly.

The 2024 Bitcoin halving it's going to be my first time witnessing one. I came to know of Bitcoin in the year 2021. I have witnessed a bull run but not a halving. But as I have seen in the past data, in the previous Bitcoin halving , the market experienced a bull run after each of them. As far as I know, after every event there was a bull run. So we can expect to see another one after the upcoming halving.

This is going to be a whole new experience for me. I still don't know if I am ready for it or not. Let's see what happens. I am very confident about myself that I will be able to hold till I see the peak.
