Not even sure what you are trying to show us here.  What's google trends have to do with bitcoin halving date?

the big question realated to halving is if it is all priced in allready. intention is to show relevant data to this very topic

I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it is that people are claiming is already "priced in".

It appears that people believe that the halving will have some kind of economic effect on the price. I'm not clear where people got that idea.

Hello =)

What is easy way to make money? ( !No prostitution! ) Gambling is too risky, you can lose all!  Shocked

Do you mean something like getting a job, or do you mean to literally make money (e.g. counterfeiting)? Money doesn't grow on trees, so I think the easiest way is to get a job.

There was a picture what had happend other halvings and it showed that price went straight to the moon half a month to a month after.
Anyone know that pic?
I hope the same thing will happen

Hope is a poor trading strategy.

That address is called a "change" address. That is how bitcoin works. Your wallet controls that address so you haven't lost the bitcoins.

Please add me. Any spot is fine. Thanks.

Disallowing accounts created after the raffle was announced will at least prevent people from creating new accounts just to enter.

The price has behaved very much like the price of Litecoin leading up to its halving last year.

In the Litecoin case, a speculative bubble formed leading up to the halving. It popped shortly before the halving and continued fall after the halving. It eventually flattened out. The difference so far in the Bitcoin case is that the relative high was much lower than Litecoin's. I believe that means the fall will also be less.

The crash has already happened (falling from $770), and I expect the price to continue to follow the Litecoin example and continue to drop through the halving.

"Cobra-Bitcoin" suggested changing the paper. Blockstream has nothing to do it with it (unless it is discovered that the person works for Blockstream).

JP Buntinx is the worst journalist ever.


Edit: The title of the article was changed to "Someone Wants ..."

For me block halving is one o the event where bitcoin block will be half from 25 btc to 12.5 btc thats why the price of bitcoin will increase more because our supply reduce from 25 btc to 12.5 btc.
Please don't confuse supply with production. The production is cut in half, but the supply is not. The supply continues to increase toward 21 million.
... so it is important that this halving should bring the price to increase to maintain the profitable operation of the miners.

Sorry to disagree with you. The importance of keeping certain miners mining is debatable. If the price does not increase, then the inefficient miners will drop out, making is more profitable for efficient miners to start or continue mining.

My understanding about halving is to give more value to bitcoin 50% more by making it harder to mine it in huge numbers. Think of gold mining. It is really hard these days to mine it and you need a more technically advanced equipment, tools, and methods of meaning gold before you get it. Miners are investing a huge amount of money to mine gold. By so doing, this makes the value of gold soaring and seems always increasing as time goes.

The comparison to gold mining is flawed because the same amount of bitcoins are mined regardless of how much money is spent mining them.

Just like bitcoin, the cost of obtaining the gold does not determine its value. Despite the increasing costs of mining gold, its price fell during the years 1981-2000 and 2011-2016.

how is the profit calculated? this is probably a tough question to answer.
let me give an example. i buy 100k worth of bitcoins. i sell for 102k. but during that time the value of bitcoins drops or increases 1%. how are the taxes calculated for that?

Your cost is 100k. Your sale is 102k. Your profit is 2k. You are taxed on 2k. It doesn't matter what happens in between.
4493  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Can I create a private Bitcoin blockchain? on: July 01, 2016, 10:06:48 PM
Is it possible to make your own private blockchain within Bitcoin itself? (separate chain) I know that I can do this with Ethereum, but for Bitcoin it has taken me quite some time to figure it out. The private chain would be more like a separate chain to make BTC transactions out of its main chain and test certain capabilities of it. If this can be accomplished with Bitcoin, then it would be great.  Smiley

Check out "side chains". That might be what you are looking for. Here is an explanation: https://www.cryptocoinsnews.com/simple-explanation-awesomeness-bitcoin-sidechains/

halving is an event that company gather all the money and after the halving they decomposed the amount into all participants .

Yes, that is exactly what it is. <---- extreme sarcasm
4495  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The word "Bitcoin halving" on: June 29, 2016, 07:55:14 AM
There is a price increase after halving because the supply of the coins are Low and The mining reward is halved!!!!!

Currently, the supply of bitcoins increases by 25 every 10 minutes. After the halving, the supply will increase by 12.5 every 10 minutes. Regardless, the supply is higher after the halving and it continues to increase.
4496  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Will genesis mining be profitable after halving? on: June 29, 2016, 07:50:40 AM
It depends on the price for me because if the price will go higher and higher then even you mine half amount than what you can mine before it will be still profitable but if the price will not adjust to make the mining still profitable then you should not invest on mining because it's just a waste of time. If you ask me i suggest you to mine other coins if you like mining that much.

It's not that simple. If the price rises, then so will the difficulty, and then you will earn fewer bitcoins at the higher price. In theory, the price is not a factor.
4497  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The word "Bitcoin halving" on: June 28, 2016, 10:13:56 PM
I don't really know what is meant with halving it, but I know something effect of halving surely when halving it will have an impact on the price increase.
Yes youre right every halving makes the bitcoin price to go up,, buyers and traders are waiting for this halving to come,cause for them it one way to make an easy profit..

There has only been one Bitcoin halving, so I don't know why you write "every halving". Anyway, the price of a bitcoin was flat for two months after the first halving.

Maybe you are including the Litecoin halving last year. In that case, the price dropped after the halving and was flat for nine months.
4498  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: The word "Bitcoin halving" on: June 28, 2016, 10:10:51 PM
This event, the moment when the mining reward is divided by 2, is commonly called "Bitcoin halving". and some other people are saying that because of it the price will go high .
Yeah it will go up because the stocks will be fewer than before and bitcoin will be hard to mine or earn.

I assume by "stocks", you mean bitcoins. The number of bitcoins is always increasing toward 21 million. There will be more bitcoins after the halving than before the halving.

Bitcoins will be only temporarily be harder to mine until the difficulty drops and/or miner efficiency rises.

Bitcoins will not be harder to earn unless the price rises.
4499  Economy / Service Discussion / Re: Will genesis mining be profitable after halving? on: June 28, 2016, 10:00:40 PM
so i was thinking about putting some money into genesis mining though i had this one question:

when the halving happens will it still be profitable to mine with it? for example if i invest in it now and buy 2 TH/s mining power and get 3 dollars a day right now, will i get 1.5 dollars a day only after the halving?

Do the math.

1. The number of bitcoins you earn will be cut in half.
2. The maintenance fee will not change.
3. The difficulty will drop perhaps 20%.
4. The price is unpredictable.

You make a profit, you pay taxes on the profit.
