But still feel wired. May be next few months won't be easy

Your site says:

Bitcoin block reward halving will be activated on block height 630,000.

Isn't every 210.240 blocks? Not 210.000

[NeuroticFish]

Isn't every 210.240 blocks? Not 210.000

I don't know where you got your number from, but Bitcoin wiki tells clearly that halving happens every 210000 blocks:

The number of bitcoins generated per block is set to decrease geometrically, with a 50% reduction every 210,000 blocks, or approximately four years.

It just barely touch $10k pre-halving though, the current price is $9600-$9700. Why you feel weird though? This market is very volatile, ups and downs you should be used to it. Network security? It will still be the same, majority of miners are honest so I don't think that we should feel threaten in any way just because we are approaching halving. Market is different though, as I have said, it is very unstable, we really don't know what the future hold. Maybe we can see some minor dump after the halving, so this growth will continue and might push the price above 5 digits again.

Sorry I must had a misunderstanding. Yeah, it's exactly every 210,000 blocks.

Are you asking about the price of bitcoin after the halving ?
I think in the last few days bitcoin pumped due to hype of halving and right after the halving bitcoin will dump in shorter time frame.

Not surprising to see those since that's the normal flow of bitcoins but I don't really think we can feel the real effect of it right now since there are so many struggles which can effect its state and maybe those pumping things will start on next year since I assume we will see the same pattern just like what happen on year 2017 but I don't expect that we can reach to its ATH price since we are now in bad shape due to the pandemic strikes globally.

yes, help me out here ..

we know for sure that if there's anyone who is definitely NOT going to sell any btc after the halving takes place, this is the miners.

Ok, he miners won't sell.
We won't sell either but we won't even buy, because we are the smart guys (not me, you of course).

So, who the f**k is going to buy btc?

that's my simple question


ps: I assume mediatic hype about the halving already had its peak last week, so unless a new high is reached I guess main-stream media won't be talking about bitcoin anymore for the time being

[carter34]

I'm seeing some shake off already with price. The volatility as expected won't go away. The price got to $10,000 today and returned back , taking off $400, reminding us of the last halving period. I still expect a rapid movement up after we see this halving.

you can't compare halvings with one another just like that in my opinion: local price movements, especially within smaller TF, really don't mean that much.

Context also is completely different: expecting that price will follow the footsteps of last patterns may still happen, but isn't the right mindset in my opinion

[The Sceptical Chymist]

It just barely touch $10k pre-halving though, the current price is $9600-$9700.

Yeah, I don't think the price hit $10k in the past week, though it's been close.

Network security?

No idea what he's thinking about this, and I'm wondering how much he understands about things (not that I'm an expert myself or anything).

And I have to say, wow--I lost track of time and hadn't been thinking about the halving all that much lately and thus didn't realize we're this close.  Frankly, I don't know what to expect as far as price movement.  Seeing as bitcoin is very close to $10k, the market might already have reacted in anticipation, and we may not see much more in the way of big gains this year.  But I've been so very blatantly wrong in the past that I'm not even going to guess what's going to happen.

[The Cryptovator]

It has been noticed that bitcoin rejecting multiple times from $10K zone. Although only 2 days remaining for halving bit price start dumping from today which is forcast for a sudden dump in my opinion. This $10K zone is very complicated zone for bitcoin, when reach this zone bitcoin price can't grow due to huge sell off. Same thing happening currently even there is halving FOMO. Holders don't wanna wait for more increase and start selling off. But looking healthy still now, likely to bump anytime before halving since there is whales for play around it.

I think OP isn't fully aware about halving and that's why he have security concern. For your clarification halving isn't something like hardfork or related with price, so there shouldn't be any security concerns. Halving will reduce mining reward to half, that's it.

Even if the miners don't sell, more people will buy bitcoin. Do you think it's only the miners who have bitcoin? No, it is not. People will buy and sell bitcoin, especially if they want to make big money from bitcoin. We already see that the market is not just the miners, but the market has many people who want to make a profit.

Many people trade in the market. We don't know who are they, but the price still moves up and down like what we see every day. But we don't know how many bitcoin prices will increase after halving. We can wait for halving to finish the process while the price still up and down, and we will see what will happen with the price.

yes but the point is it's still a game for amateurs.

can you go into a bank and buy bitcoin? no (and don't say this would be the opposite of what bitcoin means because that just isn't the case)
can the average investor buy bitcoin like he would do with apple amazon or facebook? no. ok, he can still buy futures from cme but that doesn't mean buying bitcoin of course and you wouldn't agree because of course you probably think futures are evil..

so, if we are all smart (you not me, as I already said) and all bitcoin amateurs are smart, who the funk buys bitcoin?

Bitcoin has recovered remarkably well since the March 12 dump. Bitcoin has gone to the 10k level many times but has been rejected again and again. Since it is a pre-halving pump, it can be said that there can be a big change in the market price after halving. The future of the market cannot be predicted, perhaps something can be predicted. I think it could be a dump after halving, which could be caused by some miners. Since the block reward will be half, so someone will try to reduce the competition.

[adaseb]

Most likely what will happen will be the complete opposite of what everybody thinks will happen. There are 2 ideas of what will happen post-halving.

1) Dump - Due to the dumps that occured in BCH and BSV when their halving took place. Many are expecting the same with Bitcoin.

2) Pump - Due to the halving of the supply and the amount of gains that we got in the past due to the halving the price might pump.

So basically short-term it can go either way. However I think in the long term, end of 2020 we will most likely pump. We might still break and hit $7K but I think in the future we should clear $10K finally and proceed to the ATH. However it might not happen in the next 30 days like everybody else is expecting.

I think a few days after the halving there might be dump attempts and many bull and bear traps. However if these get bought up due to institutional investment in the BTC futures then its pretty bullish. Since the massive supply gets over turned by the even larger demand. Hence its very bullish short-term.

I don't have a crystal ball and I'm not an analyst, but I say that in the next few weeks or months we will only see eviction and little volatility

So, who the f**k is going to buy btc?

good question and knowing that the world will be experiencing an economic crisis the situation only gets worse. I wonder when we will see ATH again with this terrible situation that the world is going through

We are all clueless on here since no man in this world would able to predict on what would the future looks like.Yes, we do have a couple of days before the halving event do happen.
The feels of weird, hesitations, odd etc. is normal since we already have seen on how price can fucked your analysis yet when you do thought that it would rise then it do goes to the opposite way.
Its really hard to predict on what would happence, hence we did able to touch 10k price but to see it do made up some correction which go back again on 9k level.
If this one would sustain then we might see further higher levels.

[chmod755]

I expect a little retraction after the halving, which would cause the value to drop to around 7K-8K. Do not go with the momentum of the market because that is what the big players want.
It is a deregulated market and many people operate with inside information, but I think that bitcoin should end the year valued at around 15k with a massive appreciation occurring from September when the price should stabilize.

Network security? It will still be the same, majority of miners are honest so I don't think that we should feel threaten in any way just because we are approaching halving.

No idea what he's thinking about this, and I'm wondering how much he understands about things (not that I'm an expert myself or anything).

The majority of miners are driven by profit when the profit is no more the miners quit, simple as that, we've seen during the last drop when the hash rate went down by 15% on one adjustment. If your revenue was 10$ and costs 6$ with 4$ in profit, after the halving you're going to have -1$ in profit.
Are you going to keep mining? Nope!

Here is a post from philipma1957 about what it will look like with no price increase, it was made for 8850$
Who is going to buy new gear when with 3cents/kwh you will ROI (not make any profit!!!) in 517 days?
This assuming just the cost of the miner, no cooling, no other costs, no other taxes, and that the miner will not break down!
If till now we've seen large farms growing and taking share after share of the mining, it's going to become even worse, only those with huge amounts of $ and able to negotiate dirt cheap electricity rates will be able to stay in business.

So yeah, a drop back to 6-7k $ right now combined with the halving will be the last thing we need right now.
