A question about halving

[Ryushin]

Someone asked me this question yesterday and I decide to share it with others on here today.

A friend asked if Halving is enough reason to invest in a coin? What do you think about this question?

My own answer is nope because halving is just a feature that won't work out until several years and if the project never have any good use case to begin with the halving won't make any difference.

Am I wrong? Am I right? Leave your thoughts below, thanks

For what I have seen before, every bitcoin halving happened in this crypto business, the price of bitcoin always went up the price in the market.
Yes it may go down the price value in a short period of time, but the common or usually happened after the halving most of the crypto that has a potential and great volume aside from bitcoin always got increased their prices.

Halving doesn't make any difference in the total proposed coin supply, so you can say it doesn't make a difference.
But on the other hand the miners will receive half of previous the block reward for the same effort (hardware and consumption).
So I'd guess that the miners will do their best to sell at higher prices to stay on profit. Hence the price should increase. Hence it could be a good reason to invest.
On the other hand, many say that the prices are manipulated, that the halving price is already counted in and so on.
So there are reasons to invest and reasons to not invest. It is up to the potential investor to decide for himself.


Of course, this makes sense for established coins. A fairly new coin, if it's worthless, if it has no proper infrastructure, use, market, ... halving will change nothing.

just do your own research. find the history about what will happen to coin if they will halving. if we already find the answer from this question , i am sure we will have decision is it worthed to buy bitcoin or not. halving should not be the only reason why we invest in cryptocurrency, there must another reason for it.

[Ryushin]

I think it depends on the quality of a project, many new projects have this feature but they died even before the halving year gets here, what should matter to investors is what the project is all about not future features

in past times, bitcoin halving led to the rapid growth of cryptocurrencies, with more extreme growth rates observed in earlier periods. Based on this, it is assumed that the next growth rate will be smoother and take longer. The answer to your question sounds like this - yes, investing before halving is the most suitable moment, but you need to invest wisely

[mahilchii]

Yes, Investing before halving is a good choice because the last two halvings showed a great impact on the price and I hope it will long-lasting forever. Halving happens when the miners make it demand of the supply, so at this point of time if we invest some money I am sure we can see some good profit.

he is not talking only in bitcoin but all other coins that also have halving .

OP you are right your answer they need also to have use cases before that halving may affect that price to increase . If there are no use cases in this coins even how many times they have a halving it will never help to increase its price.

[Coyster]

Halving usually has just a short lasting effect on the price of a coin, for example, let's agree that every halving increases the price of the coin in question(though that's not 100% true), so if you are to invest in a coin just based on that fleeting increase in its price, how then would you avoid FUD when the prices drop after subsequent weeks.

So investors imo shouldn't invest just because of an upcoming halving, you should invest because you have studied the pros and cons, make researches and observations and so on, and for me it's only the bitcoin halving that's even worth anticipating.

[totoy4741]

Yeah, it best way to invest in coin that are going to halve cause most likely the price will sky rocket because it helps the coins to hype up but with just a short period of time. It would still depends on the projects progress though, so make sure to choice the right coins to invest with. It may have or may have an impact on the prices but still developments still continue

The halving means and its difference is *halving of the reward per block that miners got in exchange for their work*, the miners are using sophisticated hardware, software and a huge supply of electricity to mine any kind of cryptocurrency that was mineable, the*halving happens every four years which is most common in Bitcoin. the difference is only the reward per block which is the miner got, from (12.5 BTC per block today and it will reduce to 6.25 BTC per block in the next halving which is this year 2020. meaning it will add burden on the miner's side for that reason I guess they should hold their cryptocurrency, and sell it when it is profitable. that was only the difference I know, the rest is just speculation or whatever we call it. I guess there's no right or wrong about what you tell to your friend.

[ballerin and giroud]

Halving event mean's is reducing the reward for the miner. Like bitcoin which is now every miner who successful to open a block he will be rewarded by 12 bitcoin ans bitcoin halving is happening again the reward will reduced half, which is mean the miner will only get 6 bitcoin. Logically, when the supply for bitcoin is remain same as of now then bitcoin will be increase because the supply before was 12 and otherwise when there is no demand for bitcoin maybe bitcoin price will be decresed. I tool bitcoin as an example and I think this thinh will be same with another coins which is use proof of work as its consensus.

[Sterbens]

I can't be sure that halving is a good thing to invest if we look at history, it is good that halving after dominating bullrun price increases will occur, but for halving this time no one knows what happens after that whether it will grow or not, obviously I always do research before investing, which is clearly better at this time holding bitcoin compared to altcoin which has a downward trend.

[enhu]

Considering that miners will wornout their best mining machines to acquire these coins, they will not just give away their coins for shitcoin price. There are however coins that can be mined that are worthless but this could be because there is nothing special to the coin, no features that will attract miners and investors to it. We've seen them before where they just fork LTC with nothing new added to it.

In this matter I stick to the Efficient Market Hypothesis

Information about bitcoin halving is known to everyone and it has long been included in the price of cryptocurrency.
Information from television and online magazines can stimulate the demand for cryptocurrency before halving, but then we will see a price dump

[Metall303]

I also think that Halving is not a reason to invest. Remember LTC halving and you will understand that you do not need to do this. halving is just a technical action that will bring benefit to investors in the long term

[Japinat]

I think people got more hype on bitcoin halving, if its an altcoin halving, it would not create so much hype.
When bitcoin is bullish, it's expected that it would result to a good price on altcoins over time so I would say it's good to invest at the moment.

Forget about other reason, think of the past and its trend, bitcoin has been bullish prior and post halving schedule.

You are certainly not mistaken, halving is not the event that will guarantee a currency growth afterwards. A good example is its LTC, Halving taking place in 2019, Currently its price is much lower than before Halving.

[Furious 7]

If you think positively then it will be good. I see the history before it after halving bitcoin has increased, especially altcoin as well as many coins that reached the new ATH at that time so that many assume that halving this year will bring good growth to the cryptocurrency market.
Before halving there is a good thing you have already portrayed several coins that you believe will increase later don't be late after high prices and buy better now when bitcoin hasn't touched $ 10k, then there is good buying and holding until the price really goes up.

[kawetsriyanto]

I agree with you. That's true that we don't hope too much on halving, no guarantee the price will continue to increase. It is better to have another strong reason to invest in Bitcoin such as volatility. The volatility in Bitcoin price allows the investors to get a higher chance of earning big profits. Although it also can make big losses as well.
