The Halving - Good or Bad for Bitcoin?

[Amph]

128 days until the halving from now aprox. the prices can rise before than this happens...........................

Yeah, this time we can't predict whats gonna happen after halving. It is sure that price has started increase which is a great news for all users.

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 willincrease, so they will beginn 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?

no i think we are just returning to the previous point, after the drama by mike ended, and all the fud around it is died, there is probably someone who dumped eth for bitcoin in the middle

It's happening right now and you're apparently not noticing. Bitcoin has doubled since August and people keep asking "when is it gonna happen, when is it gonna happen?" The question they should be asking instead is "Where have I been while it's been happening?"

It's been happening, but why people not aware of it is, just the bitcoin nature is always has a fluctuating price variation. During the past halving users observed a high percent growth than what is going on at present.

The halving is coming this year and I believe its a good thing but its also bad this is because of the people that are the target of the halving( the miners) they will lose profit.
For other people that are holding their bitcoin it will be pretty sweet if you ask me.

Yes,it will be interesting to see how all this will progress.
Because we have just 1 known data and it is 12.5BTC per block.
We do not know how many miners will give up.
We do not know how many people will keep up mining with lost.

I don't think the last halving can be compared to this one. When the last halving occurred, bitcoin was far more in its infancy than it is now. Price appreciation at that time almost certainly had nothing to do with the halving and everything to do with increasing public adoption and increasing demand. I would not attribute the price increase during the last halving to the halving.

Funny how its 3-4 months still left to go.. and you see peoples overwhelming reaction already..

The price jumped about $450 so by the time the actual sell off comes it`ll be in the high $600-700 I`m hoping?

Which is why I'm saying it's already priced in

[techgeek]

I personally dont have much bitcoin to hold to start with..

So this whole scenario of if halving is good or bad is on a neutral point for me. I know I wont be selling it despite the prices, but the halving for anyone above 1 btc I feel like a pretty good pay for for some.

But if less btc is being rewarded, I`d assume it would eventually sky rocket?

[Pattart]

we've seen halving the time from 2012 to 2013. halving very important role to make bitcoin prices boom to $1200

[X-ray]

I think it's both. It can have it's bad and good side and we can only hope that the positive effect is much greater. I think the halving will push bitcoin more to it's potential so who knows what will happen. Let's just find out when it already happens.

Not too long after the pump to $1200, the price goes down alot and burned alot of people. Do you expect that kind of things to happen again? You could be the new victim if the same bubble happen again and it is not healthy for bitcoin. Slower pump means alot more as people always love a stable price

[n0ne]

Until now every time halving has been good, now this time whats gonna happen, No idea since normally by its nature it has started growing so. soon we can expect some increase

Why do you say "after halving"?
I'm sorry...we do not know.
If we would know...then we would buy before halving and the the "rising" wouls be before halving.
And if the "rising" is very important before the halving it is even possible that the "falling" is as well before the halving...
To be right...we do not know...Do not forget that the "market" is always an "anti-reation"

if you like "anti-reaction" follow my U2cloudmining system and you will see (in an other scala) how "anti-reaction" works.

The halving is a good thing for the bitcoin although it ha some downsides, as a example for the miners of course than cannot mine so many bitcoins anymore because of the block size by than.
But for the most its good, what I mean with the most is the people that just invested in the bitcoin.

Yeah after pump prices always go down slowly 2014-2015 even price was down less than $ 200. it really makes bitcoin slumped. the effect of halving rise, makes a lot of people selling bitcoin nominally, so the result bitcoin dropped drastically

As the title says, is the halving good or bad for the price of bitcoin?

The halving will decrease the supply of bitcoin, whole keeping the demand, so that would make bitcoin worth more.

But the halving will make mining profitibilty worse, meaning less miners, a higher trans. fee, and maybe causing a smaller demand.

What's your verdict?

I think bitcoin will still go up, as the fees might, let's say, double, but that's still a smaller transaction fee than through the banks...

we all dont know until the halving begin,so i just can guess what will happen,many people said when bitcoin halving come,bitcoin price will raise up so high,but its not expert statement,some expert cannot predict what exactly will happen after bitcoin halving.

[Pitchblackroom]

There will be a pump before the halving but in the end it will probably be a nonevent

It will be very good. The value will get higher I think, but you never know what is going to happen.
I hope that more people will use Bitcoin and get some profit of it. That will be nice for them and it will have a good reputation.
