But dogecoin scrapped their cap and look how valuable that coin is now! /s

I hope you are not serious to compare dogecoin with bitcoin. Something that has no limit has no value, the less something are then the value will be higher. I believe you learned this as well in your economic class so scrapping cap is not an option for bitcoin unless you want to turn it into a trash

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

I think halving would be good for the short period, as it is expected that price will climb up, so the investors who have invested at lower price would surely get benefited out of it, but after halving the price will fall down for sure.

I think halving is good.

1. Lower inflation
2. Lower amount of coins mined, so lower everyday's dump.

Longer-term, also good because - bigger demand - lower supply = price rising.

I think it is pretty logical that business which are mining today for a 25 BTC block (around 380$) will eventually stop mining if there will be no upwards price trend.
Why mining 12.5 BTC blocks at this price when the day before they were able to mine the double?


It really depends on how much it takes to run the business... What if it was back to $200's like it was last August? What if it was $800 right now?  It doesn't necessarily HAVE to double the exact price that it is priced at right now.  So if someone already has the computer hardware and only has to pay for electricity, then he would have to try to get passed the electricity costs... So it all really depends on which miner or mining farm we are talking about.

Yeah halving would be good for those who have invested their money at present as the price would surely increase after the halving, and if the price climbs up they would surely benefited and get some profits.

Anybody that writes "the price would surely increase after the halving" or "after halving the price will fall down for sure" is just speculating.

Since the very first comment people are speculating and things looking so bizarre to predict that we're seen every type of comment here, but that's all, specutation and speculation, nobody's effectively right till this point, even coindesk made an article this january and it's all about speculation. Bitcoin it's not about fear or expectaions of "if values increase" or "decrease"... it's the system maturity and I believe it will be good (not predicting or expecting anything at all).

Yeah, you are right...
There is a possibility of price rise BEFORE halving and not after, as when halving happens, people will surely dump, so be ready to see a very big price hike showing new ATH to us before halving takes place...

In the last four months, we've gone from the low-to-mid 200's to about $400. What makes you think that isn't the run up to the halving? Bitcoin is up over 70% in the last four months. Maybe you missed it. I'm hopeful it will continue to go up, but I won't be surprised if it's reached its high point already related to the halving hype.

Yeah and even a possibility for it to rise A LOT before and then go down as hell after the halving ^^

I think halving would be good for bitcoin as the price would climb up after halving but not sure how long it will remain stable, as there is possibility that price will drop down after halving.

I hope not wrong, but the price will go up further still, some peoples  think that price will drop down after halving until the same levels than now, but I see unlikely so a new floor should emerge. BTC is strong if we are considering for example the increase  ETH, many peoples expected that bitcoiners could only switch to ETH something that dont happened. Talk of a new price would be a bit random but the price goes up and stays at a new level sounds very likely.

Your (non-fee) security against double spending is cut in half. 

If that worries you, take a look at the rationale behind woodcoin, which seeks to find a balance between inflation and security against the double spend.

The price will start increasing very soon. It will before the actual halving. But it also depends on other things such as block size increase.

funny thing, is that the price will begin to increase not because of the halvng, but because everyone is assuming that it will increase, so they will begin to buy it en-mass, and start the actual increase of the price

so the speculator once again will be the real maker of the increase

Hehe yes that's possible.
What I'm most curious about is when it will start happen and for how long.
Will it be a constant increase over a few weeks, months? A crazy **cking ride for a few days? Or will it be an increase with some pauses and slight corrections?

Is this the reason for the current increase in bitcoin price to over $400?
