Halving event: expectation vs. reality

[mobilestrike]

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

The price of bitcoin did not drop, it means that the price have a good affect of halving and it will rise whenever the effects of halving starts, when the miners will stop mining and only a limited big miners will mine.

well i was reading the halving opinions some time before it,like even a week,
and everybody was saying that it will instantly rise,but of course all of them were wrong

[Superbitzz]

i think the result is beyond the expectation. we can see that even after halving as the people were expecting that the price will decrease very soon. but in turn the prices remain stable and  i think that is why we say that expectation are beyond the reality.

Well, it happened exactly as I expected, nothing special happened...

[TastyChillySauce00]

I already see that people would dump their bitcoin to earn profit by using halving's hype, so i think it's Meh!
Even so, bitcoin price has doubled since few months ago even though it's not as high as we expected.

Too many got hyped too easily without think twice and many of us are disappointed.

that's why don't expect too much from this halving,too hyped will result dissapointment,in other side,the stable price just getting me bored and so many traders also,and now people who's expecting bitcoin price to rise move to altcoin,just hope there'll another peak

Curious about how the price will behave in the next months.

[Zadicar]

I expected the price would go down like what happen on the first halving.  But I was wrong because what I see as of now is the Bitcoin price still maintain on $600+ mark. I'm curious on the price soon who knows.

Curious about how the price will behave in the next months.

I think the price will trade between $600 and $800 in the next few months, then it will rise to $900.

I think this year it will not reach 900$. Yes after halving everyone thought the price might cross 1000$, But it sticks with 600 to 700$. So according to me this full year the price will be stable. One point of view this is sorrowful because what we expected it not happened. And another point of view this is good because the price is firm at 650$. It did not go down after halving. 

[SAMKUSH]

I was not expecting alot from the halving despite many people saying that the bitcoin price will change, it did increase to over 700 from around 400 so I was proved wrong but it was not like some people were saying. I think many people expected the increase to be very large and even increase after the halving but it still stays between 650 and 700. Overall I am disappointed even though I wasnt expecting anything.

Looks like a good prediction to me especially the first part. I don't know about $900 in the future because it depends on how many new people will be introduced to Bitcoin, so the price might be much higher I think and this will not be a bubble.

hmm if that will be true then its sure to make all bitcoiners happy but i fear that after halving many people started selling their coins they were holding from very long so it may effect to the price to drag it down!

As most expected massive increase, price rose few months back to the days of halving. Possibly expected at least to reach $800 soon after halving but it doesn't happened. Just a gradual increase is happening.

after a couple of months of accumulation bitcoin price went up from $430 to $780 and became stable at this price that you can see today.
now there is the same thing going on, another accumulation on $640-$650 and this time i think it can be possible to go to $900+ and because 99% of users expect a $1000-$1200 the rise from $900 to $1000+ is gonna be a lot easier.

OP shouldnt be disapponted with what happen to the price of Bitcon after halving.  Price had been increasing this past months.  from somewhere 300 USD to peak 700+ Usd, now it is stable at 630usd - 680 usd  am sure lots have profited from this event.   If you are expecting higher price than this, I think you need to wait another semester.

Even today's price after the Bitfinex hack is still double 12 month ago price. So the halving has some effects.

[plpbtc1526]

Meh. Im not disappointed on what happen to bitcoin.since the drop stablized. Though it drops a large amount, i still believe bitcoin will able to back on track.

I dont expect that much on halving coz the value is stable. Bitcoin is vulnerable from bad elements like hackers. I think this is the reason why it drops very fast.

I agree. The price was around $250 12 months ago and it's $586 right now so it was more than doubled actually. I'm not disappointed by today's price although I do think that it will be over $600 very soon.
