BTC halving

[btcltccoins]

you should wait for halving because it is coming after 4 months later, and used it, automatically you will know about this. its a good way to get profit.

[teddy5145]

I remember when the first halving happened. I got drunk and forgot about it. BTC was the same price the next day.

Because the demand at that time is not really that big, hence the impact on the price is almost unnoticeable
But, times has proved that the demand is increasing as more companies are adopting bitcoin as their method of payment
I'm Positive this year's halving will be different

The bitcoin reward halving will reduce the supply of new coins. So the supply of new coins will reduce. If the demand is the same, the price will rise.

I fell like your trolling with one post and it being this.   The fact is all the pervious coins are out there.... so there are a LOT of coins out there for demand.  Having will not sneak up on us investors know it is coming.

We hope  price will rise.... but there is no way to prove it 100 percent.  Speculation is hard anymore just look at difficulty of miners which is highly linked to new coins... it's been crazy +20 then maybe a negative this turn.  Those are big changes no one could have predicted.

What i know is bitcoin halving will affect the price of bitcoin. many people speculate the price of bitcoin will increase and i hope it will happen. and what happened to the bitcoin price today, is it because halving ?

I don't expect a sudden price increase. I expect an increase anticipating the halving, and after the halving we'll see if the new price can be sustained.

I just add that after previous halving price didn't rise at all, it went down slightly. We may argue that at that time bitcoin market wasn't that saturated and market cap was a lot lower.
But you have to consider that halving alone is not enough to push the price of BTC. There is a lot coins in circulation already (+15 millions). Do we need more supply?

the supply that changes the price is not the total number of bitcoins in circulation.
it is the number of bitcoins that are being traded (sold) buy owners of those coins. 15 million or whatever the amount is consists of lost coins, satoshi coins which will be untouched, a lot of bitcoin holders, many services and businesses that are holding bitcoin and working directly with it,... so it does not mean all those coins are being sold each day that create a big supply.

Yep. I'm going for this. I'm not exactly speculating a shoot up increase on the values. But slowly and sustainable.

on the contrary, a lot of bitcoin speculators are anticipating a big price jump because of the block halving. although it is all speculation and not 100% but there is a good chance that this can happen.

besides the anticipation will cause a lot of demand in the market from investors buying bitcoin in order to keep up with the changes and not get left behind. so as the result the price is most probably going to enter bubble only if there is some sort of initiation and a couple of issues like block size debate get solved.

It is not all speculation because this thing happened before in the past. If the same thing happened in the past then there is a good chance that it will happen once again. People tend to repeat history over and over again ( or foolishness ) because they want to get a good grip of the profit gained from the last bubble

Yeah that is common right.  People will like to know about how future rate of bitcoin. They will not easily let about bitcoin price.  Because most of the people are curious about the bitcoin price.

The future rate of bitcoin is not predictable and so does everything else so people always like to speculate. Actually by posting speculation like this some people will got affected by it and people could start buying therefore the price would increase alittle by little, thats the reason why the price has increased alot since last month

[BitsandBites]

With the halving, the price will rise, thats why many people are holding their bitcoins at this moment.
It's nice to keep an eye out for the date of the halving.

The ABC of price creation

Unfortunately, it is not that easy. There is a lot of speculation and I guess the halving has already priced in.

And it is sad so many have posted this in beginner section.  Having does not guarentee profit's.  We hope it does... and can speculate it will.  But investors know about having LONG before it ever happens.

So investors factor it in long before.  It does not sneak up on us.  And miners once it haves ... could cause issues depending could cause losses even.   I am not expecting day of having to be a great day where we see huge swing... just does not work like that.  Far from that simple.

I have to agree with you on this, we do not need that amount of coins added daily, but as the adoption increase, we might see a bigger demand later. I think the timing for the halving is excellent, and it would boost the price when the demand was relatively low. The higher the price, the bigger the demand due to speculators wanting to get in and also more press coverage.

I think this halving are going to have a significant impact on the price and many people outside of Bitcoin are going to sit up and notice, even before the scheduled event happens. ^smile^

its really gonna happen?bitcoin price will rise?how far the price will rise?i saw some peoples said that on bitcoin halving is unpredict for bitcoin price,its can down also can rise,which one was corect statement?

Since a few days, Bitcoin Core 0.12.0 is available. Also since a few days, transactions take much longer to be confirmed. The new Bitcoin Core has a much higher recommended fee. I think this is the cause of the delays: if you don't join the higher fee, you lose priority.
I just saw this block being mined: 25 BTC block-reward, and 4.67004169 BTC fees. That is 2000 dollar or almost 20% of the block reward! Are miners using the limited block size to force users to pay much more, so the halving will hurt them less?

I know this block had much more fees than average, which is why I picked this one to demonstrate.

I could be wrong, but I don't think miners are deliberately doing anything about the halving in your example -  they have always been free to include 0, or hundreds of TX's in a block. It's just another mined block, except this one has more TX's than most - This is of course, a good thing - it means more tx's got confirmed faster, and the miners made more $/bitcoin. The more tx's in a block the better, IMO, both for the users, the miners, and the network, regardless of any mandatory fee size changes. Disclaimer: I'm not a miner.

i agree, i don't think this situation with the unconfirmed transactions and the higher fee requirements is not on purpose. it has happened before, it is simply because of the massive transactions and limitation of block size to 1mb right now.
