I don' get it, why should demand for bitcoin increase because of this?
because the halving usually bring a good expectations and a good hype it's the same reason why humans are happy only in the festivity....
people just need a reason to be encouraged to do something
exactly.
i was thinking about this the other day. the hype alone can cause a lot of demand that in turn can cause a big price rise.
also add the rest of the speculation to that, then there will be a guaranteed price rise in the near future.
