Bitcoin Forum

There are core ideology that will make the bitcoin ecosystem sustainable. They include:
1. Decentralization
2. Trust and
3. The scarcity of bitcoin supply. This is where the halving financial philosophy comes into play. It ensures that the supply of money is scarce and that'll increase the value of bitcoin.

I think the most striking data here is that the Bitcoin price saw ATH 2 years after the 2nd halving took place. I don't know if we can see an ATH after the third halving in 2020. However, it may be necessary to consider this as an average of 2 years. During this period, it is useful to be prepared for some price fluctuations.

PLUS: After 2 halving events to date, the price never came below that date. If this will be valid in 3rd halving, the price during halving may be our new bottom point.

Not all investor ready with bitcoin halving just three weeks later because corona virus still make many people confused what have to do first, keep investing and waiting bitcoin will break to higher price or use for daily needed becuase many of investor lost their job after corona attack. Confused what have to do first right now as investor.

The image is good, it has the information we all need however the size of it is quite big that the thread becomes long even without any replies, hence people who open the forum with their phone might get irritated to it. You can edit it and adjust the size of its width and height, put it this way  -> [img height=x width=x ]http://image link[/img] so you'll have a smaller picture yet the written information is not that small to read, make it just a normal one.

With the halving that is occurring this year, I'm pretty skeptical about it actually since we are getting a halving that simultaneously go with the pandemic I mean it could be a bomb this year or a worst event to happen.
But I'll let it have may benefit of the doubt, I'll buy bitcoin and it's fork coins but not that much. 2020 is not a good year perhaps not on crypto tho.

The pandemic has slowed down the expectation of the halving. Otherwise, it was surely be expect to make a good increase in price. The rate it was looked would be giving lots of profit for hodlers. I still expect it will cause some increase before the year is ended.

I think I'm ready. Have been holding BTC for years now but I don't expect a miracle to happen and the price going to a new ATH this year.

What holdinh has taught me is patience. Nowadays I don't follow the price that much and treat it more like a safe haven for my money than a speculative investment.

Ready or not Bitcoin Halving will still happen. Pancemi is indeed making things go wrong at will and many investors end up having to sell their Bitcoin investments to survive because of the effects of this pandemic.

The increase in the price of Bitcoin when halving I think will not be so optimal if this pandemic has not improved.

Was suppose to say the same thing that no matter if were ready or not then theres no way that this event can be cancelled out
and all of us would really witness this event. Ready for the price change? Im not really that expecting much and as you said the
market is somewhat affected by pandemic but not totally saying its 100% relying on whats happening around. We wont know
if there would be a steep decline due to panic sell or would pump out.. Lets see on what would happen next.

I have always ready for the halving as the same as before because the Bitcoin halving always repeat itself as the event unfold. This recent happening which is likely to take place on 12, May 2020. I and others in this community always have this time I our calendar to keep a date for the even. Hope to see many surprises after the halving and another all time high again. The journey so far has been pleasurable.

Well, you're doing the right thing mate and this is the greatest thing one can do for a long-term to maximize profit. The halving is almost around the corner and those who are holding for a long-term will be the very one to benefit from this event Some of my friends had already sold out their portfolios because of some prophet of dooms who said that Bitcoin is going to fall down to $3k or even bellow, good to know that, you and others still hold their stash.

Definitely, I was and even since early this year. But the question is are the market ready for it? Maybe not...I hope to be yes but somehow the market never has a strong response because of COVID-19 causing them to uphold in having a low resistance. This coronavirus is a big factor that could affect the market performance as we are supposed to see it was going high as the halving comes near but we don't, and we can't expect the market to move high.

Agree with you. In this situation big expectation is really ambition thing. 2020 will be the great year for crypto currency if corona situation not happened to us. Although we just finished Q1 so if quarantine situation will over soon market will rise again very hard (in my opinion). Honestly i am not expecting for anything from upcoming halving. Just hope price will not down again before quarantine over.

all questions can only be answered when halving has been completed. however, now we only need to prepare ourselves with the halving that will occur. however, I think that the halving effect for the beginning is $ 10,000, I think it will be achieved in May or June. Well, I'm excited about this.

Great infographic,all credit goes to fox.exchange,but OP you should add your point of view about the BTC halving.
I feel like I care less about the halving(the more we get closer to the halving date). ;D
I think that nothing big will happen in the cryptocurrency markets,there will be no bullish rally and no price crash.At May 13,the coronavirus pandemic will come close to it's end,so everyone will be way more optimistic.However,I don't expect the cryptocurrency prices to skyrocket soon.They will probably start skyrocketing somewhere around November 2021.

The pandemic has been spreading to almost for all countries. Whilst the government/country need their economic situation back to normal, so I think all government will open their economic activity in this pandemic situation. Like US government who has tried to open their economic activity and have made some stock market and bitcoin price going up again. So, I think we have to set our strategy to face halving event and collecting bitcoin as much as you can because in the privious halving bitcoin price always gone up drastically.

There is nothing we could do even if we aren't ready it is almost time for halving.
This is just a worst time for some of us even if we want to take advantage of halving we couldn't invest on crypto right now.
We have to survive so some of us (including me) couldn't afford to invest right now and I almost convert all of my crypto just to make sure that there is enough food for my family during this crisis.

Thats the advantage of being a HODLER because there is no specific time frame instead being ready at all time.
Just let it be mate,things may happen along the way as we have a month to wait for the outcome,and also the effect does not happen instantly look at the past halving the market Bull running happens after months .

I am ready to welcome halving which will happen in a few weeks. I can't wait for halving to happen, maybe the possibility
halving 2020 become the worst compared to halving that happened before. But we must be able to accept whatever will happen
at halving 2020. I have held several coins that do have good potential, hopefully after halving occurs the price of bitcoin can rise.

Bitcoin halving 3 times ago was one of the times that made many people great profits. But the halving event this time encountered a big problem that the corona virus outbreak was very strong. That made the world economy stand still and everything seemed very bad. and when the economy continues to be closed in many big countries like the US, China, Spain, Germany, Japan, ... the recovery is still far away. next month but certainly not much buying power. It seems now that disease control is the most important news we want to hear.

But at least readiness is important in this phase mate,imagine there are possibilities of increasing and you are not ready?
You should realize what you will be missing in case that This make the market great again.
early this year we almost Hit 5 digits again so if given a chance again then for sure i will Sell all my Holdings to wait for the fall sooner.

Will history repeat itself? analysis using historical data is quite popular. Moreover, the BTC halving moment so far has brought big changes. This four-yearly opportunity is always best utilized by crypto enthusiasts. Although history can change due to many factors that influence it, like today which is quite alarming because the world is being hit by a pandemic. However, this will definitely give a change, holders will feel the long-term impact.

I don’t think history will be repeated about the price. The reason is the financial crisis in the world. No one wants your cryptocurrency when you don’t have a job or lose it because of the financial crisis and the Coronavirus. If you don't have the money and lose your job, will you buy Bitcoin? of course no. In my opinion, the price of all cryptocurrencies will be very low for this year and the next one.

Visually presented very nice, but you should still be aware of the facts that should be accurate. Bitcoin max supply is 21 million, and until this day there is 18 333 550 BTC mined which gives us in very simple mathematics 21 000 000 - 18 333 550 = 2 666 450 for mining, not 3 150 000 as is stated in OP.

Also, the same facts are repeated twice, and I do not see the point in such a way of presentation. Then I check that exchange and see that OP is merged two infographics in one...

I'm pretty much ready, just as I've been ready the last time it happened. I'm also ready for a fall should that occur. It's not like I need to buy something with my coins here and now.
I'm pretty sure that the price of 6k dollars is too low right now and we should be around 10k. That's good news for those scared cats out there, but also bad news for poeople who think we'll go to 50k after the halving. Bitcoin has a potential for 200k+ price, but not yet.

A nice way to put into one image.
I never thought it could be done.

Well, it is informative and it is also good to be kept.
Somehow, you won't need to google part by part of how the halving works and also what happens afterwards.
I see there is also a price graph. Really cool.

Nice work by Fox.exchange.

yes, I am ready with any developments that will be brought by halving, even we have been waiting for this since 2019. although the current situation is quite bad, I hope that halving can have an effect that is in line with our expectations. Well, I hope that the effect can be seen after the first month.

Yes I'm fully prepared & hope that the result will be what I expected. Like many others, I don't think corona virus can able to create any negative effect this time.

This is a very different halving for us, imagine halving in the middle of Pandemic, I don't expect much I'm just happy to see that Bitcoin is stable at this pandemic but will be very grateful if we have another big lift after the halving, I hope this pandemic will solve this year and so we can see the market to stabilize.

Once the pandemic ends, the real face of the economical crisis that is now trying to be kept hidden from us will arise. So we're not really going to see stability in the near future imo. We'll only put the pandemic to sleep and wake up yet another hard time. Harsh year it looks like we're going to have.

I just don't get why some people expect Bitcoin to make waves immediately once the halving happens. It's not like some BTCs will fly away or anything, BTC will be just like it used to be before but it's going to reward us less every block mined.. what's the deal with this "are you ready" thing like the first rocket ever is going to take off? :D

It probably we go beyond $10k if the current momentum will continue and also to the point that we flatten already the virus during that time.
Market anticipations that most are doing now it eventually helping the market to move slowly back high and breaking the $7.2k resistance. But it was then recorder that previous halving show a massive impact on the price almost a year after and that could something to repeat as the market behavior seems to look the same.

Yep, this is the right time to hold our coins. I think it will bump more than those $10k, not sure how up but it will be a nice surprise for us.

Some people say I'm too optimistic, but I'm just 'starting to believe'  ;)

It looks great when explained like this but what is the truth?
The halving is near but it is as if no one really feels it.

I think it will just be like another day for the supporters because of the sadness brought by the virus.
I am not even a little excited about it unlike the last halving.

I don't think halving this year will be a greatest events it will drive the price of bitcoin like the previous year, as we know the last year's cryptocurrency space paradigm was polluted by several irresponsible crypto projects. so, I will monitor what will happen next.

Everybody is ready for any type of events in bitcoin. Hoping that this halving event will really supportive for bitcoin but in today world every country or community running their own Cryptocurrencies so it is very difficult to say what will support or what will not support.whole world money is spreading in different projects so crypto will much more volatile in coming days. Inspte of that bitcoin is major currency that has been hold by more traders so looking to this halving is good concern.
Hoping for good to everybody in this world.

I'm always ready for any ups and downs   ;)

This is unavoidable, so there is no point in discussing it.

I still have some doubts as to how the halving of Bitcoin mining rewards can affect the price of a cryptocurrency.  Of course, you can take into account 2013 and 2016 for a more thorough study, where after 2016 bitcoin showed too fast a price growth rate.  Of course, this could happen as a result of the halving, but one must also take into account the fact that that period was the peak of the too active phase of investment in cryptocurrency and the growth in the number of new projects.  Of course, every cryptocurrency user expects in May 2020, while buying an affordable amount of bitcoin, but we can only judge the results after this event.

Ready or not here we go. May 12 isn't? I can only wish for a diff decrease. but honestly doubt it. Mining is destined to become less and less profitable over time as intended.

Atypical halving, in the mid of a deadly world pandemic, the world economy collapsing, and bitcoin proudly recovering from a minor fluctuation.

nice presentation @op  but is that really yours  ? i see that there is a link written on the image   but not that important anymore as long as you share a good and understandble content here even for noobs like me   .  this makes me more excited for halving   but who wouldnt be  ?  they say price can dramatically increase and also performance of btc can also improve to as well  . making it more faster and expensive than usuall  .  we can forget covid issue for a while and lets celebrate this event shall we  .

The stupid pandemic has spoilt my expectations. If not for it bitcoin would be doing better than $10,000 by now. And since it has not crossed that price level till now, it shows that the price will crash once halving is concluded in May. I do not think that halving will have a major impact on bitcoin until the threat of the coronavirus is tackled.

I’m definitely ready, my bags are full & I’m ready for the moon. It might take a while for the reduced supply of bew coins to take an effect on the price but it will happen. The next 12-18 months are going to be very exciting for bitcoin & crypto in general.

More than ready lol. I have been buying more bitcoins as it kept dumping from time to time. I have also bought a couple of major altcoins as well. I am hoping once the bull run kicks in all these coins will increase in value especially Ethereum which is yet to launch its PoS network. In my preparation towards this halving I have bought into the following coins $BTC, $ETH, $BNB, $DIVI and I know they are going to do well on the market.

Lucky for you, you have the means to buy other alts. And those alts you mentioned are really good. And most of the time, they follow the trend of bitcoin, so if bitcoin is increasing and so these alts. I'm excited here as well as I'm curious what's gonna be the price of bitcoin for the next months and beyond. Will the halving give a good price increase this time, even if we are still in the global crisis?

I have been prefering since 2019 ago, at that time the price of bitcoin was still low and even I can bought bitcoin with $3500, greatfully I dare myself to loan money to the bank. I hope with this halving event can give me a lot of money and I can pay my debt with interest at once. I do this thing with my own research and hopefully my prediction is trully come true although I've got profit but I will still hold it until the halving event end at least until the end of this year.

Actually there were topics similar to this before, but I should consider this one because it has a good presentation of information.
Anyway, people are obviously more than ready for this. We've been talking a lot about the halving since last year and people can't stop talking about the bulls that could break another ATH. But, suddenly people weren't ready for the plustoken scam and the pandemic which destroyed the rising momentum of Bitcoin. However, that didn't stopped for some investors to continue putting their money to cryptocurrency despite of the crisis.

Great infographic! I am also ready to wait for the halving 2020. This happens every four years, it is my first halving.
This is discussed on Twitter, it is good to have a thread for the big BTCitcoin event.

time is getting shorter and the halving is coming, I'm curious about how investors will take this halving and how the whole bitcoin community will behave, as regards the value I hope that in the long run it will return to over $ 13,000 . after all, that's what many hope for.

I have been ready for Bitcoin Halving since the beginning of 2020 !! But even though the joy that was there now has been taken away by Covid-19 😷😷😷, I think Bitcoin will continue to move at its own pace. The highest price, I think Bitcoin is likely to be 28000-35000 Usd this year, so I'm ready for that already.

I am not yet ready to the upcoming halving because almost all of my assets were sold in order to sustain our daily needs in this situation where most of the countries are imposing lockdown just to control the spread of the virus and our country is one of it. But I am still impress how the market was able to continue to push upward even if we are facing a pandemic as of this moment.

But if I can earn an extra money, I will make sure to buy back all the assets that I sold so I can also share the profit to the upcoming halving as the chance that the market to continue to increase is pretty high. Bitcoin is already sitting at 7.5k$ which is a good rally from below 7k$.

I am ready with the next halving of bitcoin that will happen in the upcoming months. We are pass day by day without any chance to get back to the previous time because we don't have a time machine. We need to be ready for anything that can happen before or after bitcoin halving because I think the bitcoin price will be increased at the highest price in the next year. So we don't need to be afraid or scare off the bitcoin halving because we can still enjoy the moment while we can try to make a profit from bitcoin.

Better than ready and I’m not expecting that much with the halving as we all know the price will react after we see big improvements with bitcoin and that might take a little longer though we still have a better chance to hit the high price this year, its only a matter of time and the demand in the market. Halving can create a big pump but no guaranteed at all if you want to at least earn profit, then hold more bitcoin.

Halving is always exciting the countdown has already started and hopefully it will be a tremendous year for every BTC holders, many Investors are holding their assets and waiting for halving happening as the speculations are very high and it should end on a positive way. If this goes well automatically the prices of alts too will go up let's wait and watch this thrilling story.

A generic thread but I like the infographics :).

Anyway, I'm ready and at the same time I'm not. What?????
I'm neutral with regards to this event (Bitcoin halving). I have no excitement that I'm feeling with what will happen in the next few weeks. We are in a crisis where a shitty virus is ruining our economy and right now, people will choose to have some cash on their hand rather than Bitcoin because they can't use it to buy some stuffs. Not excited here but I will wait for it to happen and will see the outcome.

I am feeling skeptical now. Only a few days remain for the block reward halving and we are yet to witness any major spike in the exchange rates. And the prices still remain in four-digits. The trade volumes also remain low. Another worrying aspect is that BCH had its block reward halving a few days back. The exchange rate actually went down after that event.

Now 1,800 Bitcoins are generated each day. This number will go to half in 15 days, and this will have a huge impact on the market. Just wait and see.

At present time BTC price always intersting to me. When you see at night BTC price $3300, in the morning you will see it hit to $5000. So i am not scar about BTC price. So 2020 or 2022 in not factor as market is very much volatile. last 4 days BTC price up $1000. So don't upset to price of BTC and one day morning when i see BTC price hit $19k, i would not surprised at that time because it was expected.

Keep patience and promote your work behind crypto market, stay happy.

Hopefully the  bitcoin halving that will happened this year will have a similar path as the last 2016 halving, where 3 months after the halving btc price started to pump up to 20,000$., hoping that after getting its new ath, it wont dump immediately.

It is going to be very interesting to see what it is going to happen during the next months, from a fundamentals perspective it makes sense for the price of bitcoin to go up but the current situation around the world is going to make really hard for this to happen since people are still very scared about the future and several millions of jobs have been lost all over the world so it is doubtful the economy is going to recover during this year.

I may advise that you don't expect too much because it might hurt you if the truth will reveal. :D
We are all waiting for the result of Bitcoin halving and we expect that it will boost the price just like what happened before the first and second halving but this doesn't give any assurance.

For the past halving events, there was not a huge global problem as a factor, so every one should expect at least a different affect of the halving this year because pandemic adds a big factor. I've seen the price yesterday going to $7600 in just a minute and went back to $7500 in seconds, spikes  were clearly deliberate actions in the market made by whales I guess so I'll expect that they will do it when the halving date comes to time.

Patience and Perfect timing, you're right  ;)

Based on history, I dont think that hoping to see bitcoin at the pump after halving the third one makes no sense. Bitcoin price movements are on the right track at the moment and I think people are already preparing to face this halving. Even though I am not an active trader, preparing to reduce by halving is something I have to do because it is times like this that will usually provide a lot of profit for anyone involved in the market.

I know trading and looking for profits from crypto price fluctuations have a very high risk, all decisions taken must be based on our own awareness and not based on the views of others. So if something happens that is not what we expect, then there is no reason for us to blame others.

i think halving this time be a little bit defrent .we wont see a big pump after halving.this time i believe it takes more time to recover the price to 14k/16k

So, we might conclude that from big expectations nothing big happened, at least for now, and I guess that some users that were too optimistic are disappointed.
But no one was actually ready because no one couldn't tell and predict what will actually happen and what the influence of halving will be.

Of course they are disappointed because they always conclude that halving will increase quite high, but in reality it is not, but this is not a big disappointment because the price may rise after the following few, so until now bitcoin is still quite stable in under $ 10k.

I already know what the conditions are but will remain optimistic that in the future the price will experience a high spike and therefore I will really hold onto until the bullrun arrives.

it's done but doesnt change anything so stop talking about halving lol.

i will just wait if what will happen soon,but for now?i will just forget about that halving thing as it is frustrating.

 I'm not ready. I don't know what we should expect so I'm not ready.

Some people have said that Bitcoin price will fall after the Halving due to the rewards for miners being cut half. But from what I have seen, there has been a lot of hype surrounding this Bitcoin Halving starting from last year.

So, the way I'm seeing it, this might attract more new investors to the Bitcoin market who will then start investing lots of money because they believe the price will rise soon. And in turn this will cause the price to rise, and when the price starts to rise, it will lead to a FOMO which will cause many people to start buying and the price will pump even more. I'm just making an assumption, but this might end up being the case.
