Bitcoin Forum

i am gonna post this kind of guessing, because i am curious that what  will ever happen when the block is just halved and/or it is just happened. anyone? ???
i got an idea that to trade more with bitcoin to gain more popularity/demand of the bitcoin. :)

Either nothing is going to happen, because everyone knows about the halving and the effect of half block rewards(the real effect, not the expectations from the halving) will take a while to appear, or we will see a dump if this last rise was only a pump.

$705 is not far from current price, so it is possible at or before the halving day(price close to $680 in some exchanges).

I'm more interested in above $800 stabilized prices

in short term a lot of things can happen.
bitcoin price can go sideways. it has already started to rise to $680 and this can either continue above $700 and then a temporary dump to reduce the price and then jump back up or it can stay here for a while.

as long term price will be above $700 by the end of July.

you can't really tell when it is the start of the halving (when the block reward halves) because the real effect of halving which is affecting the supply should take a while to show itself not right after it happens.
so any change will be because of hype and not the real effect so it is not so predictable.


i don't really understand this, trading bitcoin will not increase popularity of bitcoin!
trading means buying and selling bitcoin and it will also not change demand because you are also selling when you want to trade bitcoin.

today slowly but sure the prices has rise and i think to reach $705 still possible especially after halving dates but my thought we will see the prices above those prices and probably after halving next peak at $800

yes it can go to that point . now we are 677$ so 705$ is not hard to reach. so i vote for yes. halving will slowly slowly affect the price and it can also go beyond 1000$.

I would have said no to this a couple of days back because I think price is at a stable state and another accumulation is taking place but since yesterday there has been some upward movements that shows the potential of a rise to $700+ in a short time, but again we are in bitcoin and anything is possible so I may be wrong about this.

IT's likely but that's all. We don't knowthe pla of the plan of the wales, if they want to get it to 700 dollar, 700 dollar it will be.

Reaching $700 is not that difficult from current price as the difference is less than $30 right now. But then again, $800 was also for the grabs as it was less than $10 away from reaching that level, but it didn't touch.

$705 is possible. But there is no significantly different from the the $680 price now. The price will trade within a range for some time.

The price almost $705.We can guess price will be cross $800 or not after halving start.popularity/demand will depend how much people are participate as we can see now more people are join in Bitcoin so we can tell have great future waiting for bitcoin.

I didn't vote because I have no idea.  It's possible that it could be way beyond that by then, if it is (as I believe) some way into the run up the slope of another major rally) or it may come back to baseline for a while, in which case I'd suggest a couple of months later where it 'should' (ha!) be the right time for that price.

If you're asking about it from a halving point of view, then I discount that event almost entirely.  There are two exceptions to that thought:

1.  The reduced output per block should cause 'some' minor increase, but not a lot.
2.  The widespread belief that halving is significant (even though there's not a BTC'er on the planet that doesn't already know about it, so will have no shock reaction) may itself people to buy 'just because...well guys there's less of it coming onto the market so it must be significant' - I don't buy into that.
3.  It is unknown how much of new BTC is available to the market.  Although a significant volume is traded every day, I suspect that most of it is HODL'd, and the same BTC are recycling around markets (15% perhaps?).

If price keeps growing as it has, on balance, since its inception, then that should more than accommodate the needs of miners fees, which would introduce a new variable to the hoard/dump patterns that we see.

I just hope that newcomers to the arena get in with dollar cost averaging rather than taking a huge hit at the top of some hyper bull, and mutter nasty words about it to everyone because they perhaps don't yet have any market experience.  There would be the counter population to that, who got in before a moon shot and encourage the former group to jump in, giving it a HYIP type badge.

I honestly have no idea what prices would we be looking at in the coming weeks or so, seeing that it had been a roller coaster in the past month. Currently we are looking at around $670 ranges. Sometimes it goes up $30-$50 and sometimes it drops. Idk, if FOMO starts kicking in, we may surpass $700 before that date.

Looks like expectations for the Halving is very high and I honestly think they not going to be happy with the end result. We should have seen a lot more hype in the media for this event, for the price to be much higher and we are not seeing that. I hope someone will approach the mainstream media before this happens to bump the hype under the speculators a bit. ^smile^

My prediction is more conservative at $650. ^hmmmm^

I predict it will happen before halving, and maybe we will reach over $700 immediately in the next few days or on Sundays.
I am confident with it, because yesterday the price has increased again.

Halving will his us exactly on July 9. Do you think that people will buy just because reward drop is lowered? Market will take more time to consolidate and correct after halving.
I suppose that price spike won't happen suddenly and right after the halving.

the timing may not be right but the rise is on the way.

besides the hype is already in the market and it is high because of the halving so $700+ is an easy target especially with the recent rise.

I think the price could be $680 to 720 during the halving. The halving is already reflected in the price.

I'd call that a fair valuation at this time, though hyper-bulls get their day sometimes as well.  I think we all need to filter what we see and make our own assessment and also learn from it.

so far this valuation! has been the same for the past year. i keep hearing this for different levels and every time i see how wrong it is.
halving rise (hype or no hype) was good so far and it has not even slowed down. the rise continues forward.

I think it will touch $1000 after halving but will dumping again to the $750-$800

705$ isn't far from the actual Bitcoin's price , so i think after the halving the Bitcoin price will be a little bit higher than this level , may be it will reach the 705$ price some days before the halving.

if halving can make the price increase, I think we will soon increase over $700 before halving occurs.

I think price of bitcoin after block halving will not effect instantly and i think it takes more months before we will see that the price will increase again back to 700 level..

it is possible, at this time bitcon continues to rise and in my opinion it is a good thing. towards halving everything could be better. I believe bitcoin has the power to affect the current price.

700 is nothing if we are talking about new ATH if it takes place. And I am sure of this thing that bitcoins will be par 800 at least on the day of halving, and then a big pump might take place to just shake everything up.

It's just over 50% if you count the current ATH. That's nothing. Meaning the road is still very far away if you bought your coins at that price.
Which is the reason i am holding, I know somehow, someday this price will be met.

According to bitcoinclock, the block halving will happen on july 9 which is just a week from now. I think by that time the price might attempt to touch $800 again. Hopefully the price will hit it this time.

I concur. Price will crash after the halving. Bitcoin never grows far into $1k before it crashes back down.

I could be possible or the value to reach $705 before the halving comes in but the price has to rise a bit more for that to happen.
I am also more interested in the price being $800 because I would like to sell for that price.

Why didn't you take the opportunity very recently when the price nearly went to $800 to secure some profits? Or perhaps you have bought your coins after that and are waiting for the price to go up again. That's also possible. In that case you can't do anything other than waiting for the price to go up. There still is a chance to experience a short rally that might push the price far over the $700 level before the halving.

I hope it really happens, as it surely will be a thing has been very good. I also think that the price of bitcoin this month will arrive at a price of $ 700 and maybe the price will be stable. maybe there will be some people who sell their bitcoin because it is the price that they are targeted to sell bitcoin

$705, why so specific that price? I think yes, we could very likely be over $700 by the 11th July. It's inportant not to get so fixated on the halving though. It's going to take a few months for the full effect to be felt on the market.

Yeah $700 is expected at halving and I am not hoping for anything higher now, we were expecting that it will touch $1k at halving but that seems to be difficult now.

I guess there was no time to look forward at a higher price, to be honest there is little doubt that prices will fall even after halving occur. will see the price at 11th july, my guess $670

Price should pump, then we don't know if it will correct or o not. It seems plenty of people is saying it will correct and I have serious doubts, the market is always unpredictable so maybe it goes to 1k instead of correction so good luck with that, I will just hold and watch the show from the sides. Shorters may get destroyed so good luck to you.

i think that such price will be really achievable because in my opinion a lot of people will be buying their bitcoins pretty soon in order to make some good money, that would be really great

The price on the halving day or a few days after will be around $640 to $740. If there is good news, the price will be higher.

we really don't know what ways the bitcoin will go this coming halving but i'm just hoping that it is more than 705$
many speculation but for me i'll be waiting or expecting 800$ good luck.

$800 seems to be difficult to achieve now as price will not move rapidly in next couple of hours, even if it touches the price of $750 at halving then that would be good price to achieve.

If you ask me, $700 even within a week would be a feat. But if I'm wrong, I really don't think a higher price will mean good things for bitcoin. It's already overvalued.

Yes, but i think a little bit more... Arround 750$! 8)

After the block is halved the block reward will be of 12.5 BTC.

The effect on price is unknown. I think same level or lower for some time, but don't know how long. Days, weeks, months?

Eventually price will go above $800 and attack the previous ATH of 1200

I dont think it will go above 700$ but I do think it can go below 600$ because of some whales who are expecting very high from the halving event.

605 is much more likely than 705, just look at the chart.

literally no price level is safe at this point. the price has maintained its position above the $600 level for now, but i am quite sure that we'll see the price dive below $600 directly after the halving. then we can just hope for a quick recovery to +$600 prices.

Yup yup!
Especially after the halving, we can expect a stop in the rise and even a little drop. Not a real down but it could reach and even break the 600$.

The drop will come I am confident of that, but I am not sure till what level it goes. For that reason it can also be that we will see a 700 dollar price for a few days, before they whales decided to dump. The game is played hard and what makes it difficult is that it's hard to predict which price the whales want.

Although I am certain they do want the price above 450/500 miners, else it could end up badly for bitcoin.

the remaining three days, but there are no signs that the price of bitcoin will rise. but let's hope that the price of $ 700 will occur on the 11th of July, because it would be a good price for this month

Yeah, doesn't look like we're gonna hit 705, more likely to hit 605. Lol.

We're at $660 and on the rise since yesterday so...

Normally this should be a logical movement of the price but with bitcoin (and Chinese) you will never know.. So idk for real, maybe it will happens before or after this specific date

today, we are at $650, and theres still 2 days before 11th, i also think if btc price doesnthit 705, but maybe stable around $640

Sorry to burst your enthusiasm, we're back down to 654 and going down currently.

I can't see it happening, I think the mid $ 600's ie $ 650 is where people expect BitCoin's price to be post-halving which should be fairly soon if I am not mistaken.

I think there will be minor disappointment, taking the price to $605.
We have had too much hype about the halving.

you are right, if after halving no change in price, possibility people will sell their bitcoin, to avoid something bad if prices fall further. but if it does not drop below $600 I think it is still safe and will rebound in the coming months.

I've sold half of my coins. I'm ready for any thing, if it goes up or goes down, I can deal with the situation.

Well, we need a bitcoin rise more than $ 70 now, but I am not sure it will happen in two days. bitcoin price probably will be $ 700 in this month, but I am not sure it will happen on the 11th of July to come. I am pretty sure it will happen at the end of the month of July, well but we better hope that it will happen.

The present bitcoin price is $660 this upsurge in Bitcoin price seems good and hope it will reach $700 within two days and within this month the price can reach $800.

That prediction was pretty good. I think the bitcoin price is quite stable at the moment, good for adoption.

The bitcoin price is very stable after the halving happened. It seems that all the market is waiting to see where the trend is going before making any orders

by the time the average joe spot the stability in the price, the market will be back in its volatile form again. the market has never been relatively stable for a long period of time. i think it will last a few weeks more at best.

Bitcoin prices experienced moderate volatility during this week and if this stability continues for a week there can be a good price rise and it can be a path for user adoption.

I think the bitcoin price will trade between $600 to $800 between now and September. It will rise to $1000 later.

No, but close enough

$680 now, what is just $25 compared to Bitcoin volatility?

It's not far the OP's target, the price was stable until it went to 600s, it was good at 700s. Now I will think that $700+ will be reached in the next few weeks.

I think it's safe to say the price of BitCoins isn't gong to move much beyond the $ 650's for a few weeks, if not a few months.  Most people would agree that the price was pumped before halving in anticipation of the price being what it is now.

i bet it will take the same time, that was needed to move from 430 to the current value, so 3 months max

That is right. It is in the range between two to four months. After it reached that price, the price will rise faster.

yeah, im actually a little bit impressed that the price is staying still for that much time right now, i hope that we will see the price rocket up in the near future hopefully

The bitcoin price will stay around the current level for the next few months. When the new Core is released, the price could rise.

I've seen several rally's the last week and not one did come close, which means there is too much resistance below 700 dollar.
So either a big pump can give us some action or the price will stay under 700 dollar. At least for now.

I would not call that rally. That is just normal market volatility. The 5% daily price change is very normal.

The bitcoin price will trade between $600 to $800 in next few months. Any price within  that range is normal.

Were already leaving july and the price did not reach the 705$ mark. But its not a sign that bitcoin will go down.,infact its sign of bitcoin rising that will lead to a unexpexted price.

I think the bitcoin price will trade betwen $640 to 660 in the next few days. There is no news to drive the price.

If the bitcoin is very stable and rise just 1% per week, it will be a good candidate to be a currency.

That is ideal. But bitcoin traders will not be happy about that. They want volatility to transfer your money into their pocket.

I think so. I hope in a few years, the bitcoin market cap becomes $1000 billion so that is more difficult to manipulate the price.

the price is not stable because of bitfinex hack but it is always good enough for mass adoption, i think it would be really smart to buy your bitcoins right now before the price grows

we shouldnt be worried about the whole bitfinex situation, people were just panic selling their bitcoins, i was holding all the time through and i hope that the price will come back

Wow alot has happened since July 11th it has been a really bad time since that date for many of us.
Almost a month later I do hope to have some good news soon or this might be the end for many of us on the edge of collapse. :'(

The next good news could be the block size increase to 2MB or even higher. That will help the adoption of bitcoin.

When the block size is increased to 2MB, we do not have to wait for too long to get the confirmation. I will use bitcoin more.

well we will have to wait 10 minutes still just with the smaller fees so i think it wont solve the problem it will just make it way easier

I would say around october-november we should be established at $700 with a new floor, maybe except if some moron running a big exchange fucks up again and someone does a sellout, but even then it recovers so fast, Bitcoin is too big to fail.

the price will be 705 way faster, in my opinion during the october we can expect for it to grow to at least 900 dollars per bitcoin

If there is big news about the bitcoin, the bitcoin price will not be $900 in October. It could $900 in December.

i hope we will see such a thing happening, i mean it would definitely attract the people to bitcoin and make us all some big money

I doubt bitcoin could reach $ 700 this year because the coins were taken by hackers from bitfinex still unaccounted for but I believe bitcoin can go back to $ 1,000 in future because after many year buffeted by problems bitcoin remains strong and user growing.

Well, I guess this prediction misses, and even at the current price of bitcoin is not yet at a price of $ 700, but I also just like you. well, I expect a rise in bitcoin higher than $ 700, but I see the price of $ 700 for the moment is the best, but I guess this will not happen within a few weeks, and it may take more than one month

i hope that such price is going to be reached in december, it would definitely allow us to make some decent money, i hope it will be just the beginning of a growth

anything is possible right now, in my opinion the price of the bitcoin might grow or fall really easily no one can be sure what is going to happen

The price movement of bitcoin right now should be fast because its already been half.. but we are still experience of slow increasing and fast decreasing.. But even we are still waiting and there is no improvement of the price .. in my speculation the price will increase this november his is just my own speculation base on past years..

By december 2016, we should be anywhere at 700 1500. The news for 2017 look insanely bullish, and news always pump the price before the even happen.

I do not expect any bullish news for the 2017. The bitcoin core developers will not implement larger block size soon.

Well that run did not last long. :-\
Less than a month later and we are over hundred less then when we started this rise in the price.
I just bought some so I am happy for the downward spike by this margin.
Cause I did not have any so I saved a couple of K's. ;D

if the price is noot stable then there is a great opportunity to buy ad sell for the traders in order to make some profit as it is soon going to recover

Larger block size is not bullish, segregated witness, sidechains, confidential transactions, those are bullish. Hard forks are bear due the risk. We saw ETH already going to shit due hard fork.

We are exactly in mid of August and we are not even to $600 level, so expecting $700 at a moment is simply waste of time as now it will take long time to touch that price.

well the price will surely grow, expecting 700 is really realistic though i would expect anything more this year because the price is low right now
