What about Halving???

[GermanFoobla]

Im brand new to bitcoin, so i do not know  a lot about the halving, and what benefits it has, or negative affects. But i have heard a lot about it, so I'm excited to see what happens.

Normally it is said that the price will go up since miners get half of the reward well their cost remains the same. Which means the reward should double.
But with the next generation miners miners can still mine with profit at the current btc price, which there is no need for the price to go up.

I think price will go up at the time of halving and majority of us are expecting it, and I have a feeling that we will see much better price when halving occurs.

Price may go up,up to 50% of the current value of bitcoin and everyone is excited about the halving and what will it brings us.

halving can be great as it will bring the bitcoin price a little higher and everyone is waiting for that to happen. it should be great since it should cause some rise in price at least and the whole bitcoin community is waiting for it!

[ronaldinho_07]

I believe it will be good for bitcoin to find its new value over the weeks,the pumping of bitcoin that will happen with the halving as the main reason will create a bubble and some people may loose money on it very easy ,sure its the best time to invest at bitcoin at the same time the risk is huge the reward may be as well.

i also like Halving and i m still waiting for it, because it is the best way to increase your Bitcoins,
 so i also advise for anyone, everyone will use it, it is best.

watch for the peak, speculators will drive price high around the time of halving
when it peaks is anyones guess
and what number it will settle back down to after is also a guess
the price could keep increasing for a while but it is likely to drop again due to over increase from speculating traders

miners will obviously want the increase in value, and it is likely the big whales will dump their stored BTC when it peaks
driving price back down, so they can rebuy the coins and keep profits.
If the big miners and whales got their game sorted
BTC will climb above $1000, most likely hit around $2000 or more within next 12 months
and then settle back down around $1000 or more

Nobody will know what is going to happen with the halving, and another thing is that the value is also unpredictable so that can be also very risky if you are selling to early.
Many people said that it will not even rise after the halving and that will be not good for the most people who already have Bitcoin, because they must make some profit.

And not everyone has the patience to wait for a higher value, some must have profit in a fast time.

[btcltccoins]

In that time when halving will come within few months, so mostly people will be waiting for halving, because it is easy way to get more bitcoins used the halving, and i like halving and i m still waiting for it.

Nothing about halving, just relax and do what you did until now. I don't understand why majority is so nervous about up coming halving. I think that will be a little test for miners mostly, but for users also. Its much important for people who trade and mine, but for people who love btc its just one interesting date. It will be interesting to see results.

I really like the halving. It makes your bitcoins more valuable and thus permit you to buy more with the same amount of bitcoins . However, if you're a miner or buy very frequently bitcoins, bad news for you !

Price may go up,up to 50% of the current value of bitcoin and everyone is excited about the halving and what will it brings us.

Many bitcoin holders will use halving's hype to sell their bitcoin and earn lots of profit.
If this happens, i think bitcoin price could crash after halving

Probably something in between, not fast rising or crashing. Bitcoin holders might not sell if the price become actually lower than they bought the Bitcoins for. But we shall see, the second part of this year might be really interesting to the Bitcoin price. The biggest surprice for me would be stable price between 375-475 till the end of this year.

Waiting for halving too much,,, Feeling excited also

i don't think so, if the price increasing twice from before,the miners will got an equivalent amount of fiat just like now, but different if the price is not rising up as expected

I'm not really familiar with all that technical terms behind the halfing, so I have a question:
I know that the halfing occures after 210000 blocks. But what triggers it?
Is a new bitcoin core version necessary for that, or does it happen on its own, as part of the code from when bitcoin started?

Its part of the protocol from when Bitcoin started, so every old Bitcoin client expect this halving of mined Bitcoins after every 210 000 blocks. This is the way how 21 million Bitcoins can be released only.

Bitcoin halving is an event in bitcoins that happend every 4 years.In this event bloc of bitcoin is divided into half making bitcoins harder to mine.Bitcoin halving  i think sounds bad for miners,because mining bitcoins will be harder,but i think bitcoin halving is a good news for bitcoin investor and stock holder because there is a posibility of bitcoin price will rise up during or after halving.

[BTCTIME247]

With halving being so over hyped, if it doesnt meet peoples expectaions, there could be a selloff.

[aso118]

The halving is baked into the price already.   Sell the news.

Problem is also with the inefficiency of bitcoin markets.
It is possible that the market has not fully factored in the block reward halving, due to its inefficiency.

A lot of people are still waiting of Halving, i m also in this race. but we should see what the result will come?
Because we all know about halving, but most of the members are here who using the halving First time.  I m also using the halving in first time, so i m feel exciting about halving.
