Does the next halving really matter that much?

[secone]

there was no significant effect of halving, and today has decreased. but I can not judge at this time, because we have to see until the end of the year. may be the effect of halving the coming few months of the close of the year.

The effect of the halving could be felt in 6 to 12 months. There will be fewer bitcoins and the price will rise.

yes that means it will happen at the end of the year or early in 2017. I hope this incident the same as when halving by 2013, when the approaching end of the year, prices increased over $1,000.

The halving made its impact before the halving occurred. The price more than doubled in the 8 or so months before the actual halving. If you believe that the halving would impact the price, this is your data to prove your point. People who expect the price to double after the halving don't understand how markets or investing work.

In 6 or 12 months, there will be more bitcoins in existence than there are now, so this doesn't make sense. Total supply will continue to rise, and it's only if demand for bitcoins rises faster than supply that the price will increase.

thats true, halving makes the price go up all in all because it does not allow people to mine a lot of bitcoins even though the need gets bigger so the price gets pumped

yeah, it is sad that bitcoin price is not going up after halving, despite that it is going even down, in my opinion the next halving will be more productive and make us more money

Okay, will the next halving really matter? All i see is people talking about it and waiting to happen, "the price will rise", "to the moon". But what will really happen after the halving?

Right now, there are about 15 million Bitcoins "alive". The Bitcoin cap is 21 millions. So it is true, the block reward will get sliced to half, but there will be only 6 million Bitcoins left to mine. And because of this, i dont think the price will rise by that much.

My predictions would be:
1. Everyone waiting for the price increase after halving
2. Price increase doesnt happen
3. PANIC
4. ...




So this is just my opinion. Please post yours in the replys. What do you expect after halving and why?

In general, the figures are not very positive affect on people's opinions. Of course if you are now 15 million and 21 million is already over, the difference is not really significant. And the question is, what next? But since this is an interest in very high cryptocurrency the bad forecasts can not do.

It will but the looks of it it usually is just a temp price and falls back to a slight higher price originally.

So the price you saw $600 can go back to $450 if we started at 300 zoneish.

well it could be or the price could be dumped because everyone will just wait for an effect  you mentioned not buy and then dump all the coins

Yeah, I think the same will happen, maybe the price increase even in this month sooner or later, the halving will show its effects and the price will increase to a higher value, as we now that before every pump a dump often happen.

The bitcoin price will not go higher in the short term. It will stay here to absorb the shock from the recent hack.

[groll]

Yes it matters.  The price of bitcoin could go up or down.  But let us hope that after the halving the price still goes up.  We would know as the price of bitcoins depends on the investors.  It goes down because of someone fears of losing huge amount.

The next halving from 12.5 to 6.25 still matters as the block reward will be still higher than the transaction fees.

In about 12 to 16 years, the block reward shall be lower than the transaction fees due to the number of transactions.

Every halving is matter, cause bitcoins is not endless and some day it wil become limited and very expencive currency, and also every halving is investing time

You could be right if we see a big pump of the price now to see the effect of having, as of today we have not experience that yet and many investors are longing for it to happen, I just hope it will happen this year so we will have a great bonus this year end, and that would only be the time I will conclude that investing right every halving is profitable.

In a few more halving, the block reward will be lower than the transaction fees in each block. So it will matter less.

What has happened now with bitcoin, it was possible to predict in the spring. To do this, you need only look at the statistics course prior to the event with a bitcoin exchange burglary. Of course it is also affected, but the planning has gone by.

I think so. In the next few years, the price of the bitcoin will mainly affected by the demand and adoption of the coin.

[yenxz]

The entire thing was designed to be a currency not something that based itself solely on hype. The reason that the price increase was because there are alot stupid people that believe the price will increase after haling a d the truth was they were the one causing it to increase by buying it

[Xenophoto]

I think so. The difficulty doubles every halving and that means it becomes difficult over time exponentially and not linearly. It matters to the miners out there, they have to push before the next halving occurs or they will mine it twice harder. To people who don't do mining at all, halving also matters because it somehow increases the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin's price at first isn't that much because we haven't passed any halving yet and because Bitcoin is still new. If we pass more halvings and more people started to invest in gambling, there will be scarcity in the supply of Bitcoin and scarcity makes the value of something higher.
