OP should have think of investing last year, If you would buy today and wait for the halving the profit is not as big as you could profit if you keep coins since last year... though the halving is said to increase the price, I think it would not be as big as everyone is expecting...But overall, it is still good to invest until halving..

The halving is coming. Surely this would increase demand for Bitcoin? I am planning on buying as much BTC as possible ASAP and plan to sell it after the halving of block rewards. Do you think this is a good idea?

yes you should invest in bitcoins now because of halving, i think that it is awesome idea because you will win lots of money if you'll sell bitcoins after halving, because then price will rise to sky for sure, maybe to 800$ or even more so you won't regret that

Are we talking speculation or giving more voice to fud,thats one of the biggest issues with bitcoin news that sways the price.
Way to many people out of greed that are willing to pull every dirty trick out of the book to push the coin one way or another.

This halving situation is just another potential drama push,speculation on what will happen is really unknown at this point.

I don' get it, why should demand for bitcoin increase because of this?

because the halving usually bring a good expectations and a good hype it's the same reason why humans are happy only in the festivity....

people just need a reason to be encouraged to do something

I've seem a few halvings and all the anticipation but when it actually happens price doesn't move because halving is irrelevant to the price...

it depend what halving you're talking about, litecoin faced an increase, other coin are so crappy that they died before the halving come in play, or were not interesting enough anymore

for bitcoin even the first halving has brught some increase

exactly.
i was thinking about this the other day. the hype alone can cause a lot of demand that in turn can cause a big price rise.
also add the rest of the speculation to that, then there will be a guaranteed price rise in the near future.

of course buy much as you can now because price of bitcoin will rise after halving for sure, it can rise by 50$ only but it will rise anyway so if you will buy some bitcoins now and will keep for halving, you'll can sell them later for more that you spent on them, and their price rises even now so later they will be more expensive

There will be a decreased supply of bitcoins entering the system relative to the demand.

That's a drop in the ocean, currently there are more than 15 million bitcoins in the wild, global trading volume picking at almost 6 million bitcoins a day, less 1800 coins a day is irrelevant.

i am sure of one thing, the demand for bitcoin is going to increase in the future, which means only one thing: price rise. and this is not because of halving, so investing at this time is suggested.

what i think about halving is that it is possible that the price is going to rise because of the expectation of the rise so again investing at this time is suggested but only based on this guess, not sure like the previous.

Yeah this is the good idea but you cant buy again for the cheapest price of bitcoin even you sell your bitcoin after halving.
It will less supply after halving so the movement of bitcoin is slowly increase's  because many traders planning to dump their coins after block halving ends..

it is not free of risk, as any other investment!
but I did buy bitcoin because of this year's halving. and I think since the $400 was pretty stable price for this long, it is safer to buy at this price before it is too late.

The last time there was a halving, it coincided with BTC going mainstream and there was a price boost. Some people think the price boost was down to the halvening instead of because of discovery by the mainstream media.

Before people dive in, take a look at what happened to litecoin during it's halvening last year. There was a pump as some speculators tried to lure halvening believers into buying, but then there was an almighty dump. The price is now about where it was before the shenanigans.

If you are buying then do it now. I don't think there will be a price increase anytime soon but I think we are currently in a stable price
 What you need to do is hold on to your bitcoins until you see a big change in the price which I think is not any time soon. The price increase in the next halving is just speculations.

Not sure either, but, as many other say, my vote is for it to go up... moderately. 700$ would be very very high in my view.

Even if the reduced production by miners or increased awareness or hype put upward pressure on the price, you have no idea if it is enough to cause the price to rise above what it is now by July.

For example, the price has been slowly dropping since the beginning of the year. What if it continues to fall? Then even if the halving does boost the price, you could still lose money.

No, unless u have the spare $, you can buy a bit.
Why? BTC values can give u a heart attack with the up and down.
If you buy a lot, and value drops, u have to pray and wait for it to bounce back.
You can't sell your btc at the 'right' price too, due to the slow confirm and stuff.
