It's gonna go up to $5k for a bit then settle down, obviously. -Satoshi N.
Are there traditional customs and foodstuffs for this holiday? Also, do you think my boss will understand if I call in work late, scream "Happy Halving Day!", and hang up?
What should I wear?

Just 15 hours to go And I'm very excited to see the effects on the price. I think it'll be a roller coaster ride and the price will settle back down shortly thereafter.
4 years later after this thread was created the halving is going to happen again, and now there are 93 blocks left until 420,000th block.
It is expected to happen today (UTC time) and let's see what will happen with the bitcoin price, I'm excited to see the surprises.

I have a proposal for a new celebration called "Halving Day".
The celebration would coincide with the Bitcoin block halving that occurs once every 4 years. Given the random nature of blocks being found, the day cannot be set until probably a few months before the actual day.
The purpose of the celebration is to simply get together with fellow bitcoiners and celebrate this wonderful invention called Bitcoin. I would like to see large organised events similar in nature to what we see for New Years celebrations around the world.
Similar to New Years, there could be a live broadcast on a big screen (see bitcoinclock.com) or loud speaker that announces the first halved block in realtime for a bit of arbitrary back slapping and high five'ing.
Other activities could be combined into the celebrations, maybe charity fund raises or company announcements or awards ceremonies..
If nothing else, even just printing some posters saying "happy halving day", or wishing strangers in the street a "happy halving day".
Eventually I would like to see this event become as popular as other 4 year events like the Olympics and World Cup.
So lets get ready to celebrate the inaugural Halving Day in 6 weeks time on the 30-Nov-2012.
Happy halving day!

Happy halving day!
This is a very old post but halving 2016 is coming so I will greet everyone happy halving day. I hope that it will also be shown on TV a grand celebration of halvening. It's not clear if there's a celebration since there are no announcement. But I'm happy since bitcoin has reached another halving. Bitcoiners wish bitcoins to survive and will celebrate more halving.
Don't expect the price to respond. If you believe in efficient market theory the halving is already priced in since everyone knows is going to happen.
... everyone knows that the fiat monetary system will collapse, why hasn't that been priced in to the dollar?

In the first halving in 2012, how long did it take for the price to rise to around $1200?
12 months almost exactly.
Then we'll hope for a steady rise over 12 months, not the sudden spike up that everyone dreams of. That would just mean a bubble and put us in a horrible situation.
there are no bubbles, only adoption waves that sometimes get ahead of themselves.
(A bubble price goes back below what it began at, bitcoin price has never done that, yet.)

If you are expecting such increase just forget, on that time bitcoin community were just some, maybe 500 members, soo the new ones were able or the olders to make pressure. Bitcoin wont grow such this time as bitcoin are present at several hands instead just some as on that halving.
We are almost there boys

lets print t-shirts!
i like this idea. someone should start design those t-shirt. really love to get one.
I also hope this expected event brings us something to celebrate, but even in the eventual case that the worst scenarios and predictions come true, we will learn a lot of things to avoid these kind of speculations in future halving events.
I wonder, will the btc rocket on http://www.thehalvening.com/#1 launch tomorrow? Hope for a special animation!
Hold onto your seats, almost there now, best wishes to Bitcoin 
In 20 hours will see what happen to bitcoin, i hope it will be ineteresting, i can't wait already. After halving will drink something 
we expected the block halving tomorrow the price will be rise
but its depends supply and demand in the market.
but its depends supply and demand in the market.
let's see if halving will give you happiness or sadness when viewed prices silent perhaps this would be a sad day for all holders of bitcoin. happy halving day
