Just within 2 days after the halving, it seems bulls are back into action unlike what we had in 2016 and I guess this might be the simple signal we must read about how stronger bulls may turn this time around. There are 2 backing reasons for expecting bulls to go more harder than ever.
1. For the first time in 10+ years of bitcoin history, block rewards are now less than 10 bitcoins. I mean block-rewards are no more an attractive criteria for any new businessman to get into mining business. They may simply opt for buying bitcoins rather than thinking about setting up a new mining industry. Same applicable for those cooperates who are already into mining process; we may assume like they may not re-invest more in expanding their mining plants but they may focus on saving bitcoins.
2. In less than 11 years, around 88% of total bitcoin supply were mined out and only ~12% of total bitcoins are remaining to be mined but it may take another ~120 years to complete.
If you closely notice, both of my points are saying same thing; we are going to start experiencing the actual inflationary property of bitcoins here after. Do not be surprised if you happen to see a new ATH before end of this month.
If there are less IQed whales like MTGOX treasurer who still look for cashing out their stash around $10k then we may face some delay but nothing may stop bitcoin to have new ATH in coming months. Bitcoin is going to break all its previous traditions like having new ATH around Christmas/New year, it is time for newer things for everything. Get ready for travelling to stars
