Halving has already Begun, Yes or No?

[BitcoinHodler]

i think the halving effect on the price has already happened (some part of it at least) but since the big rise encountered some obstacles on its way, so the rally has been paused for the time being.

IMHO, it wasn't a rally, seriously...
It's just a trailer being shown to trap users to buy at their prices with which they grow their coins before halving takes place, and then pump and dump again on everyone, but that would be huge...

Whilst I still see a $650 (and more later), I don't think it will be because of halving since that is already known and priced in and will be a non-event.  Some other news that we don't know about yet, could see us climb quite a lot (adoption by a significant player, collapse of markets - which could mean empty gains (and hopefully not because of some CIP/Swift event etc).  A clearing house might do it (low volume/high value type event.

Because of the nature of Bitcoin, microtransactions probably won't be it, but this separation of Btc and blockchain will have to be the financial joke of the century.

I also wish people would start thinking in mBits now that the price is more like buying a coffee with 1Kg of gold (not literally, but you get the idea).

price rise is not halving, halving is block reward halving for miners, and that will cause a price rise,  alsohalving won't happen earlier than in july of 2016

When the block reward halves, it will reduce fresh supply of newly minted coin. If the demand is the same, the price will rise.

the price has already started to rise but nothing else i think the halving will happen only after a few months

i hope that the price will keep on growing till that time so i would make some good money out of bitcoins

we are just back above $400 again after a lot of struggle.

but i can say that price has been affected by the halving a little bit, that is why we are at $400-450 level in the first place but the real effect is yet to come.

Yes that's true but the price grew periodically, now it has started to grow regularly. This increase will surely have some impact on the halving of bitcoin.

I'm voting for a no. All this block size shit and the alts rising has taken some shine from bitcoin. It's gonna come into focus in the near future. Maybe that'll bring the spotlight back and then we'll see.

I am also go with NO only Because when halving comes that time Bitcoin price will be reach to 800$ and more money for one bitcoin. So nothing symbolize like that and Its not a halving time.

[Dr.Osh]

I guess halving not begin. because if that happens I am very confident that the price of bitcoin will far exceed the current price, and I hope it happens soon

[7Priest7]

I do not agree with those people who think that halving affects on the btc price is started.
I expect that  the halving will affect the price at the end of this year as the market will feel the difference in the supply then, not after it happen in July immediately.

halving affects price right now, people just buy and buy bitcoins now hoping for huge price rise later

and  i also think that price will rise immediately after halving, like 2-3 days later, people will be confused so we might even see some crazy price rises

[JavaLove]

I don't think the question was worded correctly.

Has halving begun? No. It will happen in, we're estimating, July of this year (2016). The process will be quick.

I think the question you should asking is "Halving Effects Have Already Begun, Yes or No?"

To answer that, it's a little hard. When halving occurs, the price will go up because of the basics of economics: the law of supply and demand. It states that when the supply goes down but the demand is high, and with Bitcoin ever growing, the price must rise. Now this isn't a sure fire thing, but it's been proven a lot.

So theoretically, we'll see most effects AFTER halving. Which, we will. Of course there will be hype now as well.

People KNOW it will happen. You don't often know whether a supply will be low, but in this case you do. And because most people know this law, they want to get in early to be able to sell high. You can only ride a wave from the bottom to the top, after all.

There have been minor price drops but that's from naive people who believe what shit spewers have to say.

The majority of us know how halving will affect the currency and we're getting ready. We're seeing the price slowly rising now. So to answer the question: yes. I agree with winspiral, the price has been affected by major events like these because people want in BEFORE any major price increases. It's the same with this. It's just that the AFTER hype will be much higher than any hype now.

Not yet imo, till the price between 390$-420$ i don't see the halving effect. Let's wait for the +500$ then the effects will begin 

[RoommateAgreement]

i agree. the halving effect is going to be at least $400 more.

right now it is just the normal way of price rise which has been happening for nearly a year now. when the halving happens the price should be at least $800-$1000

[7Priest7]

When I went through various discussion topic. I found certain users has speculated that, the halving has already begun.
Just because of this only we are experiencing a increase in bitcoin price. So need to get much information regarding
the halving. Whether its ongoing or it has not started yet?

Halving itself no, but people buys bitcoins just because of halving now, everyone hopes to sell bitcoin for more after bitcoin so everyone buys them now,  so price rises so halving rises price now even when it will happen in July only

[armansolis593]

As far as i know halving will be on july maybe the 3rd week,well when the halving comes the bitcoin will be much more profitable.

I think the mining profitability would be similar if both the price doubles and the block reward halves.

[Bitminer1224]

The halving did not happen yet, this website will tell you when the halving will start and the block reward will go from BTC25 to BTC12.5.
