I strongly believe it is an excellent thing for bitcoin and all the community since most probably the price will rise then and more people will get interested in bitcoins. Question is, though: since everybody already knows about the halving, isn't it in the price already??



It ain't yet actually, according to me...
It just seems a correction of price unless it reaches to a new ATH that is a never expected value of BTC one had ever witnessed before...

you guys are totally overestimating the affect of the halving.

Even if the price goes up to say $800 during the summer or whatever, it could be because of hundreds of other factors.

it must be a good thing in my opinion, halving was introduced in order to make the price keep on growing so it has to be a good thing

I agree, I don't believe that halving gonna bring a great variation, if price increase observed means its just not because of halving.
Halving just creates increased demand with decreased production which won't affect the value much

it's the hype around the halvign that it will drive it up crazily, not the halving di per se

i don't think we are overestimating this effect of the hype, what it is known is that the value will increase for sure, is guaranteed

it may be unstable value, but it will find a new peak

It is definitely good for the people that have invested in Bitcoin, but it is bad for miners.

I am quite sure that the mining farms will keep mining as they will make profit even when the price doesn't go up. If the price does go up, then it's just an extra bonus for them. Also, the Chinese exchanges Huobi and OKCoin are definitely up to something. If the price doesn't go up as much from the genuine demand, then these exchanges will come through with a "helping hand". And other exchanges will follow China as usual.

The big mining farm will keep on mining as their electricity price will be lower than most people. They planned well before building the farms.

Yeah, halving is good for the people who have invested their money in recent past as after halving the price would be much higher, so that they can make some money out of it, if halving will have positive effects then it  would benefit many of us.

Think so? I heard that before halving if price goes below 300 dollars miners will start loosing money!

So if their earnings is cut in half, I'd say that there MUST be a price increase else they'll lose money no?

Price will surely increase after halving that is for sure and that is the reason many of us are holding their bitcoins and waiting for halving so that they can sell their bitcoins when the value of bitcoins is higher.

Hmm... your answer is a reasoning showing not a rise but a lower price.

If everyone is holding before halving (and I think it's the case) then they'll all sell after the halving. So the price will drop.

Call me a fool but I bet the price will significantly rise before the halving, then decrease just after!

Normally a halving is good, since it can increase the price of bitcoin.
But these days it's hard to say what will happen. It won't surprise me if the price will stay the same.

I find it hard to believe the price will stay at sub $400 levels when we are seeing the block halving being completed. By that time we'll most likely see a price of above the $500 price level. If it indeed turns out that the price is staying below $400 by that time, then a lot people will get disappointed for sure.

Exactly, it should atleast cross $500 mark after halving but in case if gets stable at $400 then lots of people would start loosing their faith in bitcoins, and would surely sell all their coins.

the halving is interesting for the bitcoin but unintersting for the miners...


price of bitcoin will then go a little up
mining difficulty will go a little down...because less miners.
many miners will give up because cost for mining will be higher than income.

Which means the halving is a risk for bitcoin, cause if everyone starts selling there coin, it gonna drop the price too.

I'm really afraid of the snowball effect, as EVERYONE is holding their coins for the halving... What will happen? If everyone wants to sell just after the halving to profit the price rise, well the price isn't going to rise. At all. It'll even drop at the risk of fucking up the btc.
