So we all know after the halving we are all going to be rich beyond our wildest dreams But when will the slow pump start to happen due to the halving?

Is it already happening and where do you think it will go?

a) when will the pump happen?
b) how high will it go?
c) what will the price settle at?

Y answers:
a) already started
B) 5k usd
c) 1k usd

Normally, after June or Mid-July (after the halving). However, the pump can happen anytime sooner or later 'coz of numerous reasons. Bitcoin's unpredictable & you know that I'd guess.
1500USD (IMO)
650-700USD or more/less, can't say exactly where 'll it become stable. (That's just my guess/prediction).
P.S.-> For meh, this'll be the first bitcoin halving period & I'm getting ready for the party. Hold your bags ladies & gentlemen.

The halving will just give us a higher price but definitely not enough to make us rich.

A - It has already started

B - Not higher than $700

C - In the range of $500

Yes it will not be that high that you say that everyone becomes rich because of that only.
But it will defiantly touch the 1000 Dollars. That will be great for everyone.

When will the pump? it already started right now,
How high will it go? I think its around $600-$700,
The price settle at $500

IMO
a) In a few days
b) $10,000 (Well, who knows?)
c) I wish, it would be more than $2,500

Thats more on my wavelength nice answer :)

a) maybe it will happened soon, because halving is more closer now.
b) maybe 1k usd or more.
c) 600-800 usd or more.

As you can see, now the price of bitcoin keep increasing from yesterday. maybe it will keep increasing.

a) when will the pump happen? Already started!
b) how high will it go? $800
c) what will the price settle at? It will settle around $700

I am not expecting prices to rise up by 10 times(at least this year), but yeah I'd be very glad if BTC touches even the mark of $800.

I can only imagines everyone pessimistic opinion about this is driven by the requirement for more cheap BTC lol

Have you guys consider we might just move up slowly and claw back some of the value lost since last ATHs? So what i mean is maybe you wont see a pump just yet and just a slow move to $700 etc.  I think we will just as likely get a proper bubble after the summer when internet activity picks up, and yeah the launch pad will be like $700 so ATHs will be many many thousand.

-i think that already started, shyly... the huge price change will be showed in next months.


-maybe a little bit more than x2 of the current price, i hope... :P


-it will maintain the x2 price and will be increased slowly, again, i hope :P

we don't know that and there is no way of knowing it.
also it is possible that the rise will be smaller than expected for example rise only as high as $600 after halving.

but my guess is the rally will start in a month or two and the price will rise up to $1000, but again that is just speculating.

it may be possible to see 600 mark before the halving, pump are random and happen suddenly, like the one that brought us to the current level

also combine this witht he steam news and you can surely expect an increase in the near future

I think the serious pump will start in late May. I am not very sure how high it would go but I am thinking around $800 max. The price will settle at plus 50% of the current value so my expectation is around $600-$650. I would love it if we pass the $1000 threshold this year but I am kinda skeptical about that.

A. Just started today

B. 1k$

C. 750-800$

a~ i think the pump will start 2 weeks before the block halving.
b~ $650-$700.
c~ i think the price will settle at $500.

After the halving, my bet is that all the kids holding out for 1K, 5K, Bitcoins, are going to have their hearts broken.

Before the Halving, I like a top of around $850.

A stupid thread for signature campaign participants to earn pennies  ;D

4000 USD after 6 months ...

Is the tread stupid or the pennies payers?
That's the question.

a) it has already started
B) 1500$-2000$
c) 1000$-1250$

don't you think we're overrating it?
perhaps just $500 is pretty much doable today as there are other altcoins moving up before halving actually starts, if btc goes up so are the alts.

Last 7 days we are already up 25$-30$
And 500$ is only 50$ away now.

Opposite dude

you are mistaken my friend.
a couple of altcoins like litecoin have a history of following bitcoin's price but that is not even guaranteed to happen.
and the rest of them has never moved with bitcoin price so i don't see any reason why they should start now.

a) Already can feel it's presence in a slow and gradual manner.
b) At most, will be around $700 even with the supply cutting into half.
c) It will settle at around $550 and that's few months after the halving with new support level.

I opened a long position. Down right now but not worried.

850 is a number that I like  ;D
If it gets to that even by mid- year I will running in the streets naked!  :D
Mark my words  ;)

Add one more option d) none of the above. The halving haven't started yet. I think price increases on halving but might reach around $900-$1000..

# Already started.
# $600
# $450

5k usd is a bit of an overestimate... I seriously can't imagine it going that high in such a short period of time.

It's basically 10x the market cap of BTC in a few months, I mean...

the halving hype is real and it will only get bigger the closer we get to the actual halving time. and my speculation is that it will happen around summer time and the price will easily go to $1000 and it can even go higher to $2000 but that has lower possibility right now and even if the price comes back down it will settle around $600

The pump... I think it goes up and down a lot but on a higher level than without the halving.

Price will go up to 750 I guess and settle at 350...

With the Halving in mind and assuming that the value of bitcoins is increasing steadily, I'd say the price would probably cap at $750 after the Halving and then settle down at around maybe $450 a few weeks/months after the halving because of the big bitcoin dump that will definitely happen. Pretty much the same as what happened in 2014. There was big leap of bitcoin value and then (almost) everyone started dumping and the value continuously started dropping.

Continously dropping....  but not down to levels before the last halving. We have always been way above the last pre halving value despite all ups and downs since.

Nothing so outlandish is going to happen, there are decent arguments that the halving could have already be priced in. Seriously, don't count on a massive price increase because you'll most likely get burned. The profit taking from 2015 can smash any rally before it even begins.

Everyone is hoping that the value will rise in the halving but the chance is not that high that it will rise because the value keeps stable for a long time and that is quite bad.
I am scared that there will be a lot of people that must wait a long time until the value will be more and of course they will not like it and that is quite logic.

But it must rise a long time so many people can get much profit of it and that would be nice for them.

I would say that at least part of the halving should be already priced in. This should not be as the first halving, in which nobody knew what could happen. Now people are mostly convinced that halving will raise price, so it is very likely that many bought in advance, making the price raise already.

Price rise is gonna stall at $800 dollars sometime before the halving. Next it will probably correct to between 600-650, then if all goes well after the halving, and hash power doesnt mess with it to much, and the whales have finished clearing out the scatterred bearfish, it will moon to between 3.5k and 6.3 k

mark my words

But in halving the price increase isn't about more people buying, it is because there is less coins sold by the miners.
So that is why biggest price increase will happen after the halving.

Not higher than $700? are you serious. Once we get the traction of going up going $700 will get crushed like it's nothing. Times time it will go way  higher than the last ATH, and once the peak is reached, it will probably stabilize all the way down to around the last ATH, so $1000-$1200 will be the new normal (the new $300-400's).

It will be a cycle. The price increase will also get more people interested in bitcoin and we could see more people buying.
The halving is one event I will be keenly waiting for.

It's going to either $420 or $500.  The halving won't bring us to $1000 as much as we'd all like that.  If I'm wrong, I'll gladly be wrong believe me.  There's no free lunch on Wall street, as they say, and people who think the halving is going to spike the price are believing in a free lunch.

Well since the thread was started we are up 20 bux it's just a small snippet of what is to come ;) can't wait for the roller coaster to pick up a bit more speed.

Why is it "free lunch"?
Let me explain this to you, right now miners are getting 3600btc every day they are selling some part of that to pay electricity etc.
And after halving they will get only 1800btc per day. That is 54 000 bitcoins less every month.
So if miners are selling 50% of their mined coins and holding the other half, then there will be 27000 less coins sold every month.
That means over 12 million dollars less sales every month so of course that will affect the price!

If someone would right now buy 15000 coins (8.2$ million) from bitfinex, price would go up to 1000$

OK an instantaneous buy followed by lots of dumps I guess but the hype may hold us up :) Im still a believer in the halving.

The last halving the price was and stayed the same. I am not sure how this halving this would be different.
Remember the halving is most interesting for miners and with the current generation of miners they can mine with profit.

Here are the answers

a) when will the pump happen?
yes
b) how high will it go?
$1000
c) what will the price settle at?

$500

Well my long positions are doing well ;) opened them soon as you never know when the great big spike will come.

There are many people here with a long-only strategy.
They all believe in the long term growth potential of bitcoin.
When the next surge happens, they will all benefit.  :)

1qayes I just opened another 50 bitcoin long on kraken.. will keep it open until the halving or sell at 800 usd which ever comes first. Good time for bitcoin;)

If the amount of buying is the same as before the halving, the price should rise as the supply is lower than before.

in theory but lots of people will be dumping with the newer higher price :) so depends really. I think will go up gradually wave style.

Anf others will buy these coins.So what?
In the end it doesn't matter because it's all about supply and demand. And as we know that daily new supply gets cut in half the price will rise if Bitcoin continues growing.
