What is your thought about halving?

[efpd777]

What you say is true, what happens with Bitcoin is that the offer is already defined and cannot be cut, because obviously people will not be willing to get rid of their cryptocurrencies, in any case, the demand may increase, but This is a fairly complex and unpredictable market, however, growth expectations remain, I believe that by 2020 it will reach record highs.

In theory, when supply is cut and demand remains, prices will rise. But what is your thought? Do you guys think it will go up

You already stated it, definitely it will go up from the law of supply and demand and Bitcoin history shows how the price rallies before and after the halving.  Aside from that, halving also gives hype to the market creating a mood of demand and sometime FOMO to the community.

supply remains the same, does not increase, supply is cut only for miners.
Your logic is correct but the conditions in the market are very different from what you say.

"supply cut only for miners" that true , but the fact , if supply is cut , its mean bitcoin added to circulating supply is also getting cut.
did u think all of miners in the world never sell their btc , and keep it for long time ?
theoricaly , bitcoin added to circulating supply is got cutting half, even if demand is low the price should be incrased , since the cost of electrity is totally huge, or miners will shut down their operation and hashrate getting low, of course , when hashrate  low, price also going low(i am sure it will be happened to miners except from china)
so far i know , For many years, China has consistently been a major market for bitcoin miners due to its cheap electricity and affordable resources.
in this cases , i just have speculation , china will take more control after halving.

Actually this can affect the price but I personally do not expect too much, because bitcoin can never be predicted by anything.
More and more people are saying it will go up but usually the market does the opposite.

OK, but if it goes to Bitcoin then who will control the supply of BTC. Day by day it increasing and Demand also increasing. So let's see what happening in next days

[Eclipse26]

The theory make sense because that's how economics work. But with bitcoin. It's still very unsure since in the first place there's no assurance that we can predict it's future value. I also hope that with halving, it'll increase even a bit. But just like others, I don't expect bigger movement. Also, we should not forget about the other factors affecting bitcoin's price. It's not only about halving.

I think the demands of bitcoin will become higher in that time and bitcoin's price will increase slightly and slowly to the 20k$ again if it's not more. I don't know if something else will happen till that time and make that worse, that's just only my expectation of what bitcoin price will be at that time.

This can possibly happen, but there is no guarantee, so we need to wait for it for results. Prices possibly rise and it can dump as well. Just what happens when bitcoin cash appears. We can also try, for those who really wanted to gain profit but just make sure that invest what you can afford to lose because there is no guarantee when halving.

2011 most of the people doesn't know what is halving and what this effect brings to the the crypto market space and that too exclusive for Bitcoin. Now now due to the popularity of Bitcoin we all know how this affect performs and place in the price chart.
Everyone looks for the magic what we seen after the the 2016 halving.
Let's pray for everything goes green.

[ChronoLite]

it will go up 100%. look at the graph when halving on 2016, the price was pumped by 2x of the initial price and we hope that same thing will happen in 2020 as bitcoin halving is on the way. but still, the price is not predictable so just prepare for the worst case possible.

[Ridwan Fauzi]

Yes it will, that is the basic theory to understand about halving event.

As an amplifier, when you look at the privous halving event the price of bitcoin was always went up drastically, you can see it by yourself.

So those things are make sense when you put a high hope for this event and there is no wronb when you spend a lot of money to buy bitcoin from now.

[Distinctin]

I believe that after the 2 years in the downtrend motions we can also experience bullish again. May some say not sure, of course, we don't have but we can't also be hopeless knowing that the previous halving is having a huge impact on the market and I, therefore, say that it will happen the same.

Also in 2011 people knew about halving, especially people who were mining bitcoin because they knew that their mining reward will decrease at some point. Only difference is that now so many more people own bitcoins and trade them.

[Lambowei]

I wonder if it's all psychological. At the individual miner level, increasing difficulty or decreasing the total minted tokens per block has a very similar result for miners. And we've seen the difficulty rise over and over, and still there are miners.

I'd say it's a market timing issue. Fiat economy seems fine at the moment, even though we know there are many zombies lying around (including the Deutsche Bank). If things get worse in the fiat world, an event like the bitcoin halving could signal the time for investors to take refuge in crypto. But yet again, the world fiat economy could enter into a limbo like the one Japan is in and maybe bitcoin could stay in the current limbo as well as an effect. And it seems a plausible scenario as most central banks are basically following the book written by the Japanese central bank.

Halving can happen but as we can see in the past 2 years, it is not happening for some reason. Relying on halving looks like more of a gamble and anyone can benefit from it. The market is just too hard to predict and it's all on the hands of the owner.

[Dr.Osh]

In theory, when supply is cut and demand remains, prices will rise. But what is your thought? Do you guys think it will go up

this is the correct theory. it's just that it all depends on the situation. I think before halving, this will happen, that there is so much demand for bitcoin, and at least a cheap price. it will make the price of bitcoin rise.
This is a common thing, especially if the wall is not so big. however, a large demand will make prices go higher.

Bitcoin is not like real items, which if the item very demand, then the supply is reduced, will make the pump price. bitcoin has been through a lot of things, but it doesn't yet have any other uses other than just for transactions and trading tools. halving the upcoming bitcoin does not guarantee that prices will rise. it's just that many predictions say it will be bullish. Well, I personally hope that the price of bitcoin will be bullish after halving. but can't be certain of that.

Bitcoin's main use is to preserve the purchasing power of your money, freedom in what you do with it, and when you actually want to purchase something. It is simply, a deflationary coin. It would be more correct to call it stable, but people have the wrong notion about that word. Bitcoin doesn't lose value overtime, but everybody else does. If Bitcoin were to peg its price to the others, it wouldn't be "stable" but inflationary. This is yet another reason why "stable" coins are a lie, if you peg to something that loses value overtime, you are losing value by design.

Bitcoin can in fact gain a little value because some coins stop circulating, because people lose their wallets, etc.

Most of the supply comes from coins that are already in the market. The percentage that comes from mining is smaller and smaller. It largely depends on the current bitcoin holders, just like gold, which most of it has been mined already.

As for the halving, in my opinion any uptrend may occur BEFORE the halving. After halving, could be a downtrend, or stabilization. It largely depends if this pre-halving uptrend comes or not, and how strong it is. The less strong, the less correction afterwards.

[karanggatak]

yes in theory when supply is cut and demand is fixed then prices will rise. but in the bitcoin market everything can happen bitcoin can go up and down after being reduced by half. but the majority of bitcoin holders are optimistic that bitcoin will rise after halving like the previous halving day.
and these two years we have been in the bear market. so everyone hopes that next year's halving day will make a bitcoin bull run and also make the altcoin market go green again.

from what i have searched about the situation from the first halving and what i have seen in 2017 there is always a growth whenever halving comes though it is not instant when the day comes but the effect follow as the months goes by.so with this?i am sure we are looking forward for another good year in 2020 and will also have a great pump like what other halving brings to us so why not believe when the truth is we have already saw from the past?

seems like you don't believe on that?or have second thoughts?better not and instead purchase now before it is too late since many are acquiring now before the May halving happens.
