Will the upcoming Bitcoin halving be a non-event due to the state of the world economy affected by COVID-19 ?
I think you mean the Halving that already happened?
The next halving will be ETA 10 May 2024.... thats a long time, I sure hope Covid will be History by then!
The halving that happened in the middle of May 2020 kind of got overshadowed by Covid. No super high price bounce, but it wasnt about the price bounce for me, I was happy to see Bitcoin moving along.
I was a little scared to see the price falling at such a rapid rate back in march but thank goodness it was just a flash crash and the marker rebounded quickly. You are right in saying that the bitcoin block reward halving was overshadowed by COVID as there was news of COVID everywhere and everyone was afraid of what will happen next but thank goodness the government took control of everything and did an excellent job in mitigating the risk of the spread of this deadly disease. I believe that bitcoin price will rise in a couple of months just like the previous block reward halving and definitely COVID had an impact on bitcoin price before and after block reward halving that too in negative terms.
