The reality is that it did nothing if not just made it worst! 
i dont think it made it worse. Halfing strengthened the price imo. Before halfing, the bitfinex hack would have probably decimated the btc price. but we're still strong at ~$590.

The reality is that it did nothing if not just made it worst!
The expectations were very high and hopeful and if you remember these were going to be fulfill, but because of bitfinex everything crashed, and the price of bitcoin started to decrease much faster just before halving, and then it came to $650 and stopped there for months, and then . . .
I'm only observing the price of bitcoin at most 5x a day only when I'm awake.
This is also by far the most volatile price movement I have ever seen since I joined bitcoin. Well, I've seen the prices go high up but never have I seen it go dance around a range like this.

Know it's still very soon, but can't wait for all this bitfinex business to price out. The halving seemed to usher in so much craziness; the DAO, hashocean and some very large scale intrusions. There is a lot going on at the moment, and I think confidence might be shaken a bit. But it's not the end, it just needs time. This is the most volatility I've seen in btc for some time, but I'm not always paying attention.
I am fully happy and satisfied with current price of Bitcoin. I really didn't had any unrealistic expectation about halving because i knew that this means price will not further drop under $ 380 after mining cost. There was impact on price as these reached to all time highs in last 2 years which is very positive side. After recent incident still price are on recovering mode. I appreciate current floor of price without any complain or disappointment.
I never expected a significant increase in price and I am expecting the 'significant increase' in the next 6-12 months. So, I'm not disappointed and not happy. More like 'neutral'.
In these times being neutral is the best option. Just look at how many people are disappointed because the price didn't go up after the block halving. They think the block halving increase will still come, while in fact it happened before the halving has taken place.

Exactly how I feel, it's in a few hours but I'm rather interested what will happen, it probably won't affect me that much but I'm still interested in what will happen. I don't personally believe that something BIG or rather greatly significant will happen, maybe in a few weeks but, huh, what do i know. :d
In a few hours?
If you're talking about the halving, it already happened a few weeks back.
i was quite disappointed right now because bitcoin price is now below $600 because i expect that after halving bitcoin price would not be lower than $600. Well i will just have to wait again till it reaches $700 then trade my btc to USD
You can never know, we can just wait and see. The price can also jump high in a few days, do you hold any significantly higher amount of btc or something smaller?
Well i do always save 5% of my earnings everytime i got pay and i think that amount right now on my saving is quite good enough to take some profit if the price goes up. Well if bitcoin price drops lower i will try to buy some for future needs but not that big amount tho.

As i expected price will fluctuate between 500 and 700$ for some time.
This can be called stability, and this will attract more investors, so price will rise naturally but slow. This is good!

OP shouldnt be disapponted with what happen to the price of Bitcon after halving. Price had been increasing this past months. from somewhere 300 USD to peak 700+ Usd, now it is stable at 630usd - 680 usd am sure lots have profited from this event. If you are expecting higher price than this, I think you need to wait another semester.
Even today's price after the Bitfinex hack is still double 12 month ago price. So the halving has some effects.
I agree. The price was around $250 12 months ago and it's $586 right now so it was more than doubled actually. I'm not disappointed by today's price although I do think that it will be over $600 very soon.
I can't see the price rising too much more with all the in-house fighting going on relating to the scaling debateand other issues.
I wouldn't be making a large business investment in bitcoin just yet until things amongst the devs cool down and they start running things much more smoothly. (I haven't followed things to closely lately so i hope the dev team is getting along better now)

Meh. Im not disappointed on what happen to bitcoin.since the drop stablized. Though it drops a large amount, i still believe bitcoin will able to back on track. I dont expect that much on halving coz the value is stable. Bitcoin is vulnerable from bad elements like hackers. I think this is the reason why it drops very fast.
