How does a block-halfing correlate with a sharp increase in price, especially in the short-term? Do you think people will be willing to suddenly buy for double the price thinking "Only half of the block rewards from now on? Blimey! I should get ahead and buy for double the price accordingly!"
Yeah I feel should already be priced in. Markets are made of people and people anticipate upcoming changes and act accordingly, sometimes irrationally even but still. I think from a mining perspective, maybe this will dampen the enthusiasm in the multipools but yet to be seen
