Morgan Creek is Against The BTC Halving Popular Opinion. What do You think

[Darooghe]

Somewhat agree. previous halvings were significant because the drops in the bitcoin supply inflation annual rate went from 25% to 12% in the first halving, then 8.3% to 4.2% on the second halving. this halving the drop goes from 3.7% to 1.8% on an annual basis. Further, lots of people know about it, so the current price partially already reflects the halvening.

However it's still big. every halving before has triggered a huge hype cycle. this time will be no different, but it won't be as big as before. the market will start pricing this halving in by the Q1 of 2020. In other words the bottom of this bear will be this year and we will see new all time highs by the end of 2020.

People's opinions differ. Halving bitcoin will arrive soon, let's monitor the price of bitcoin during end of halving and after halving. Up or down is certain, but will it really affect the crypto market especially other altcoins. Before halving people might buy some bitcoin in preparation for halving, this will be the FOMO just before halving bitcoin.

Too many expectation are going on in the crypto industry just because of the ATH last December 2017.
They want it to happen again but it may really not.
My take is bitcoin is just going back  to $12k up to $14k. Back to how much it was at mid 2019. That will be better.
I guess they could all stop all this questions or takes about the halving since the price still fluctuated to a good number.

[Greatchu]

I accept the fact that a new ATH won't happen exactly after the halving but gradual growth will take place so there is possibility of seeing new growth by 2020 year end

[jossiel]

that makes sense, as you can see that a few months ago litecoin has been getting halving at august 2019 and you can see the latest chart and litecoin is still facing a very big downtrend right now

I'm also saying positive speculation before the halving of Litecoin but that's a fact that until now that no sign of pushing up. But on this matter, we can't compare Litecoin to bitcoin. We know on how big the differences they have.

But last time Jason Williams predicted btc to $55,000?
Morgan Creek Digital Co-Founder Predicts Bitcoin is going to $55,000

This is his tweet.

I think he don't want people to ride the next bull run. 

[LouVandetta]

Well, he is not the only one with such opinion. You could find tons of news regarding people that were saying that halving won't do any difference once we're there. As for the majority has a good opinion about the halving, at least that what people are hoping for to happen.

Whicever it is anything's possible at this point. He might be right or the other way around. You could also find a lot of people's predictions that it will pumped the price quite high after the halving. Let's all hope for the best.

I believe that crypto market needs a big push and BTC halving together with TON coin launch would deliver that push. When it is not going to happen, we would stay on a falling market for a lot more time.

[nanaimogold]

I think we should be ready for any outcome.
Litecoin showed an impressive growth around halving even in a bearish market, so we can safely assume there would be a strong force bringing it up but again large whales too would be active to earn for themselves by fooling general traders. That may be a strategy to bring the price down during the halving.

Lite pins growth wasn't as impressive as expected for me because even a Binance listing can push a cling to over 20 percent. What concerns me more is the sustained increase of the prices of these coins lest it becomes basically a pump and dump coin after all that's what we have been on to for a while now

[timmmers]

Haha, what a joke. How this person could say such garbage.

Lets think about it, miners will receive less reward in BTC for every mined block, if the BTC price will not go up, some of them leave because it will be unprofitable for them to mine BTC, but we know, that we need miners and more miners mean more secure network. So it should be obvious that price will go up to attract miners and keep network safe.

[kindbtc]

He may be right but we have to see the larger perspective and be realistic. If you have a closer look at all previous halvings the price of btc does not simply explode the next day of halving mostly it has took 6 months to 18 months for real parabolic growth so i think this statement does not really make sense it is just a try to create panic and dump to buy themselve more btc cheaper.

[maxreish]

How can Morgan explained the previous Halving event which affected the price of bitcoin? Since the reward will going to be divide again, the supply is affected thus making the bitcoin's price to surge. I won't judge him for speculating it, maybe he has his own reasons to say that. This is going to be interesting. If after bitcoin halving and the price will not be affected then let's see about that.

[nanaimogold]

Its better to be ready for both side ways, either good or bad can happen, the next halving might not be effective on bitcoin price because the last one doesn't until few months later

You are right. The movement of bitcoin after halving can be either ways. Perhaps will take more shape then as regards to market sentiments. I rather fold my arms and watch. Instead of investing in a gamble

[alani123]

J agree with this sentiment. The only way it could affect the price is so that nibers would stay profitable, but then again miners are interested in selling. Aside of market manipulation, I don't see a good way of the price rising. I doubt that demand would rise much to more the price enough. The lower selling pressure for miners might have a positive effect but nowadays most miners know better than to liquidate on spot anyway.

[Bananington]

If Jason Williams says he thinks bitcoin halving will not affect its price come next year, he probably has his reasons for that. However, it all depends on general market perception;  if many think the halving will cause a market uptrend definitely it should have a positive impact on the market. For the past years, bitcoin halving has been a catalyst to the market and hence everyone expects history to repeat itself.
