the halving is not go and not bad...because the "havings are known in advance...so all is alreadi in the BTC price.
of course it will certainly change shortly...but at the end...no special halving effect.
the upcoming block halving is good because it will bring supply and demand closer to each other. if there wasn't a block halving happening this year, then the chances of seeing the price go down a lot would be very high. the $400 price level can't be maintained for a long period then. it's a more than welcome happening for all of us as it will at least make sure the price doesn't go down because of the over-supply of coins. |

I'm also not gonna sell any bitcoins these days because there is a good chance that the bitcoin will go to a higher amount without any doubts.
I think its a matter of time till the halving will starts and the price will rise to a higher amount, it will be good for sure.
Yeah if you sell now you won't be able to earn higher profits but if you wait for next few months then you can see better value of bitcoin so if you sell by that time then your returns would be much higher. The bitcoin price will rise a lot in the next few months due to the implementation of SegWit and the block halving. it might give the price a good boost, but we can only hope for it to happen. people are strongly thinking the price will reach very high price levels by the time the block halving is completed, but it isn't that easy. everything must be in place perfectly. i'm talking about demand, speculation and the sentiment. if these things are well in place, then expect the price to rocket up significantly. |

Sure it's trusted and a lot of people will support me on it. Bitcoin is pseudo stable currency and i hope it will become a real currency and will be equal to fiat.
bitcoin is already a real currency, and it's even better than fiat in many aspects. the only thing that fiat still has a huge lead over bitcoin, is that offline payments with fiat are much better. if at some point bitcoin becomes stronger in "offline" payments, then bitcoin will be much better than fiat currencies in every aspect. i am waiting for that day. |

bitcoin is here and will stay here basically for ever, assuming people will continue with mining and hosting full nodes. even if there are only 4 or 5 people in the world mining and running a full node. it's enough to keep bitcoin working.

it's mainly bitstamp and in some cases btc-e. bitstamp is always fast and responsive. but i have noticed that when there is a lot volume and activity in the market, btc-e site slows down quite a bit from time to time. it's very annoying if you want to do some fast trading.

i have seen the same pattern last year at $220, the stable price - people getting restless - whales accumulating and then came a rise and the same but shorted thing in >$300 and now i am seeing the same pattern at $410-$420 so i am waiting for the rise to above $500 as the next step.
I have the same thoughts. The price is within a very small range. So it is being accumulated by big whales. this stable period may also be to bore some people and make them sell their coins slowly. when they think weak handed traders have sold enough coins and can't cause much damage when the big boys are pumping the price, then the real pump will start. they don't want to pump the price so others can dump it down. that's the main thing. it has happened a few times already. |

how did you see that many times in past for bitcoin, as far as i can see there were only one occasion that this happened and that was the only big bubble in bitcoin price i am talking about the $1100 and the gox bots making fake volume out of nowhere. but other than that i can not find anything major like that.
This applies not only bitcoin but for every currency(i'm talking in general), i don't know why would bitcoin be different case. We already have very high price for bitcoin, and market capitalisation is very large, but for further rise we need more money. Pump is only bubble. the price at the moment is just fair. not high and not low. the price can only rise if you believe in the future of bitcoin. you just need to make sure you have a lot patience. the short term is unclear, but the long term price is always up. that's why i am a strong holder. |

Most probably not going to happen anytime soon. I don't think so, cause bitcoin has only a few millions in circulation, and dollar has trillions. Bitcoin won't have powers to supply the whole US 1 BTC is equivalent to 100000000 Satoshis. So, yes. I think, it is possible for Bitcoin to supply the whole USA and even the entire world. once the price is going up to very high price levels, then the average people can't afford to buy a whole bitcoin anymore. they will buy around 0.05-0.1btc and such each time. there are indeed enough coins for the entire world to use bitcoin. but in reality, the whole world will most likely never fully adopt bitcoin. if we can have 10% of the people that use bitcoin, then that is considered to be a huge number. |

even if it does go back to $410 in the coming days or weeks, then what? i don't see anything being wrong with that. also, we are only around $10 away from reaching $410, which is literally nothing in the bitcoin world.

We all agree that will Bitcoin rise but how much is realistic to expect more than 2x price rise if block having is 1/2..? People talking here about thousands..Don't forget that bitcoin is already risen from 215$ and 415$ is almost double.
i do believe that there is still around 50% of potential profit that we can make if we buy some coins at the current price. after that, i can't really see the price increase much more than that this year. we can only hope that the price will not drop back to current price levels after the block halving. that would be really sad. |

There are also a lot of people that is still waiting for a good price increase because they have already Bitcoin so they want to sell it as fast as possible with much profit.
And people that want to buy Bitcoin is indeed waiting for a low price for Bitcoin, so the chance will be higher to make some good profit later with Bitcoin.
i think that at this point most of the people that wanted to buy themselves some bitcoins have done it already. they are indeed waiting for the price to shoot up in the coming months. right now only people and some traders are waiting for the price to tank significantly because they missed the chance to buy at lower price levels. |

The nly thing that can potentially kill bitcoin is regulation and governments. If Governments start a persecution against bitcoiners it could harm the ecosystem up to the point of killing it!
goverments can't make bitcoin stop existing. even if they ban bitcoin usage in the entire would, then it still isn't possible. to entirely kill bitcoin you need to close the internet or all the power in the world. otherwise nothing can stop bitcoin. |

I doubt that it will reach $10,000 any time soon. If it would hit $10,000 would it really be good for the Bitcoin community? If bitcoin would opparate in the thousands it would not be really good because not everyone would be able to afford that.
Good thing it's divisible so you can buy any amount you can afford. that's right. many people directly start to think that when bitcoin reaches a very high price level that people can't afford to buy bitcoin anymore. but that's not true. you can still buy bitcoin with low amounts. even if the price reaches $100,000 at some point. |

Well people keep saying that ETH is coming to join bitcoin values,one thing is sure people are manipulating this altcoin a lot ,i remember poloniex value 200ksatoshis,now its worthing atleast 10times more,i never saw any altcoin with 50k bitcoin inside soo i believe people will pump and dump a lot more eth,about bitcoin i dont know really,for me it has been pumped from the last year .
every altcoin is being manipulated by its "creators". ethereum is definitely not an exception. the only difference is that the people behind the massive ethereum pump have a lot funds to create the pump and get the price to where it is now. it even reached a market cap of $1 billion not long ago. very impressive, but i wonder how long it will take before we see the price come down to much more realistic price levels. |

There is no really down side to price. Just act now, and see how you can manage the risk you bought it for.
Unless the halving event creates more sell orders then buying ones, eventually making the price take a small dip.
i think that the closer we are coming to the block halving, the higher the price will be. but i also realize that it will not continue to increase till after the halving. that's why you have to find a great price to sell at. my guess is that the best moment to sell at is a few days before the block halving. i expect a lot people to unload coins after the halving, so i have to make sure i sell sooner than them. |

Time to hold. Too many good things happening with bitcoin, I dont see it going down much below 350.00. anything under 400 is a good buy as others have said above. A good strategy is to continuously buy in small increments that work with your own budget.
holding is indeed the best option, but this only counts for people that have already bought their coins and don't need to sell them any time soon. those who haven't bought yet must do it now as the price is very likely to increase while we are heading towards the block halving. stop waiting and buy now as you then don't risk having to enter the market at a higher price point. |

Let's assume that we reach a new ATH of $1,700, what do you do?
Even it could reach last times ath 1k$ everybody will sell like i will. But even it seems hard for bitcoin to reach that point. It is not very possible for the bitcoin to reach $1700 this year. But it is possible for it to be $1700 some time next year. even if we reach the $1000 price level somewhere next year, then it's fine too. it allows the price to build itself up nicely. even if we see an increase of $200 per year, i am quite sure that a lot people will be happy with that as well. it's better to not have high expectations as you might get very disappointed when the price doesn't go up as much as you were hoping for. |

It is an amount that I do not think its too low for only a 10$ variation. Probably it will get more stable as more and more people enter into trading Bitcoin, but thinking that there are not so many people doing it, it does not seem strange.
It depends on the market depth. The volume of bitcoin is quite low recently. I think there will be big rise soon. the only reason for the recent low volume is that the day traders has stopped (or slowed down) their daily process of buying and selling because of the stable price. you can conclude from that a price rise. But the daily price change is still around 2 to 3 percent. If they use margin, they can still make some profits. no matter how small the price movements are, there is indeed always profit to be made on exchanges without fees. i have been trying to trade when the price was barely moving, and i made some small profits while i have invested a lot time in it. but i stopped doing so because it cost too much time. |

It would be very nice to see -april fools joke-as one good dump and fast recovering of price.
This would be best prank ever..But please let it go to 100$. We had too much of stagnation, it is boring.
It did reach lows of $415, but now it seems to be rising steadily. Nobody is going to spend money and dump bitcoins just for an April fools' prank. The price is sitting within $415 to $420 for a long time with very minor fluctuations. So this time price is not going up or down just sustaining within a limit. Yeah its a good sign of a stable price so there wont be a panic in the market,its been like this for several days and that is good. no matter how calm and stable the current market may look, it can change in a matter of minutes when a whale starts with unloading huge loads of coins. people will panic and start selling as result. and on top of that, stop loss orders may get triggered to make the price tank even further. Yeah right... It's a chain effect when a whale pull us all...when they start to sell in bulk, price movement is noticeable, and most probably if a new bitcoin holder see the candlestick starts to go red and long, they will drop and join it as they are scare or in panic when it happens...But with today's price seems like we are really moving on almost a flat line which I think could only mean that we will be seeing only small price movement.. a lot people have been waiting for such a stability, and i think this month will not be different from previous month. if we rise $10-$20 this month from current price, then it's perfectly fine. growth is growth. |

How safe is it?
It's 50% safe, 'cause there are 2 futures to bitcoin, it rises and its price increase to $10000 or more, or it could end. think about it by the time that we know if bitcoin will either fail or succeed, and also by that time 95% of the people have already sold the coins that they bought at current prices. only the top elite of traders have enough patience and dedication to hold their coins for at least 10 years. other people already struggle with holding their coins for more than a few months. that's a real difference. bitcoin millionaires will only get richer by that time |
