Halving event: expectation vs. reality

[nejibens]

so basically absolutely nothing happened. What an over hyped event.

We can't judge the event and it's consequences now, we have to wait may be some weeks or even months after the halving to see the results.

so basically absolutely nothing happened. What an over hyped event.

It depends on the time scale. I think the halving already caused the price to rise from $300 to 650.

to me the reality is more good that the expectation. the stability of the price of the bitcoin shows its vale and importance. that is a very very good point that the rates are still balance. hope that in future the price will remain stable and will continue its ascending gradually.

I think it will take months to feel the halving fever and things are gonna change I can feel it . Let just hope that it will give us positive outcome not the negative ones

I  expect that halving will somehow increase the price of Bitcoin at most two times.  Well, I happen before when BTC hits 1200 usd, but  in reality I expect, for that expectation to be meet, there should be a major revolutionary event not just like this halving phenomena. So basically there is  no huge leap in price of Bitcoin.

[MFahad]

I was told a few times that, when halving is super close/already happened, the price would increase significantly.
Now that the halving event is probably 5 hours or so from now, what can you say about the current price? It's still hovering at around $650 despite the imminent event.

Right now, I'm disappointed simply because so many people say that the price would increase, but my mood may change if something significant happens (pissed if going down, happy when going up).

the price doesn't change instantly, dude. just wait for a few weeks later or even months to see the real impact of this halving. keep patient.

My prediction's true, a lot of people believe the price will change for instantly and making a big expectation for that. but in fact, the price of bitcoin is not changing significantly. too fast to reach $800 or above,  irrational expectation. some people just making a statement without saw the situation on the market.

You are right, this halving is great but for me it is not block halving, because we can see bitcoin price never cross $700, so it is normal.
Actually mostly people said that bitcoin will be grow more and more, but i can't see it. But it is good actually it is my first experience to use the halving so i was very excited, may be the next halving will be block halving just like the previous halving.

Anticipation for the event has been building up over the past few months that price will increase largely, and investors began betting on certain expectations will soon meet reality, and readjusted positions accordingly.

Many are expecting an increase in bitcoins price but the increase has happened last month. Many are sorry thinking that halving brings a skyrocket increase . it is funny but bitcoiners should not give up their hopes since halving has nothing to do with price increase, the increase may happen anytime without a halving.

Guys, the price cannot change as fast as the pound did after the Brexit. I was sure this won't happen. We will see the way it's going to affect the price a few months later, and I'm guessing it'll be a loss first, and then a huge increase.

You should only be disappointed that you listened to other people.

Rule #1 in trading: make your own decisions.

It is in your own responsibility.

You should find that in every trading book and for sure in every good trading book.

[redsn0w]

I was expecting a little dump but nothing of serious, btw the price will not increase instantly ... this is obvious. Wait few months (at least 4-5) and back in the winter, you will not be disappointed.

[DoublerHunter]

As i expected the price go down a little bit because some of the holders sell their coins but soon just after a few couple of months, the price will start to go up to $1k, so if were you i will just hold my coins and i will keep waiting for bitcoin to get in touch with that $1k .

[chixka000]

keep waiting till you are satisfied of its price but for me i am going to keep on turning my bitcoin around the corner and get profit but of course im going to be more careful

No, I'm not disappointed because "I listened to other people". I'm disappointed because people overrated the event without being sure what will happen.

Rule #1: Don't assume.

It is your own responsibility to read what has been posted.

You should find that on Google and for sure on various websites.

Yeah, I'll keep doing that. Historically, the prices are on a steady increase. On shorter timescales however, it's pretty volatile.

Well yes bitcoin's price will surely go up from the current price now but not exactly on the bitcoin halving day. It may happen weeks/months or maybe years after the event. And the price might go down after the event. That's all i know

[SirLancelot]

So, many people that are expecting bitcoin's value to immediately, rather, instantly rise up.
I'm literally laughing my ass off to the amount of people thinking that way. Looking into the past block halving, it took nearly two months for the value of bitcoin to double. If we're going by the same trend, it might take as much as before, maybe less even.

[RoommateAgreement]

people have alwys tend to think of bitcoin as a get rich quick kind of thing and they really expect quick profit like becoming a millionaire overnight. and the worst part of this is they don't want to make any effor at all either.
that's the expectation from halving!

Yes definetly,its why i vote on disapointed and yay! I really enthusias when halving come,and hope the price rise soon,but what i get after one day bitcoin halving passes,its nothing,just decrease bitcoin price.

[NUFCrichard]

I was expecting a dump, I am quite surprised that nothing happened, but then I guess for 99% of bitcoin users, it makes no difference.

The miners will be feeling it already, so maybe they will stop selling what they mine until the price rises, or they will stop mining altogether, who knows.

well i was expecting a price growth but it seems like i was wrong also, i think that the pump was going to happen really soon, i think we will make some good money out of it
