We can see by now that the past bitcoin halving is really having a good effect to bitcoin. The price has rised since that day maybe because the supply that will be mined will be lessened. It might not be the factor but the lessening of dumpers that are oftenly miners earning from mining who dump straight away has lessened bitcoin to dump.
believe it or not halving besides making the price to be high as it is today halving make the miners to be reduced
I do not know why it happened. but it gives a nice effect for bitcoin
It was mentioned in the quote though, but it happens because miners have lesser bitcoin to hold everytime they have succeeded and mining. Miners earning from mining who dump straight away has lessened bitcoin to dump. With lesser bitcoin to dump by them it means that the force that will counteract the buying force will be lessened. That's just my opinion though maybe there are other reasons.

The halvings gives Bitcoin value and makes it lucrative for more  investors so I think it should be maintained for us to keep profiting from our investment. If we don't half and we keep more BTC with less value what's the point rather than have less with more value.
from the previous halving was my first experience so i can say that halving is good. as in previous halving the price of bitcoin increased so high and that is the reason that we can expect from the coming halving also.
Economic 101 " less supply and more value" so the decrease reward for the miners give a best opportunity for the price of bitcoin. and it will have increased in the future and i think the halving is the key every 4 years. the price of bitcoin will have doubled. Halving = big hype.

The next halving might not have such an effect

I mean in respect to what we have seen recently. The primary reason is that the supply of new coins has already diminished dramatically. It is basically the law of diminishing returns at work here. On the other hand, the same Economics 101 tells us that the factual supply is only one aspect of a broader concept of total supply. The other factor at play here is the circulation velocity, i.e. how often coins change hands. Higher velocities give the effect of a larger supply, so the decrease in the supply of new coins may be offset by the increased velocity with which bitcoins circulate

I'm sorry, don't get all of it, which one did you mean : The next halving might not have such an effect ?? Do you think next halving won't make bitcoin value increase?

This is impossible to tell in advance and in practice

But theoretically, if all other things are kept the same, then yes, the price won't increase as much as it increased this time due to July halving. The logic behind this claim is pretty simple. To better understand it, just think about the relative change in the supply of bitcoins that miners provide in respect to total number of bitcoins already in circulation. And don't forget to take into account that the miners' supply constantly adds to this number (i.e. continuously decreasing the ratio till the next halving)

The law of 'supply and demand' is a certainly point of economics. Bitcoin halving mean limited supply, make it slightly worth.
We have more than enough coins in circulation now and higher velocity of bitcoin could achieve if : more merchants join into bitcoin community and faster confirmation (regards block size).

I'm sure this is a very good trend. thanks to Bitcoin never be exposed to inflation. Each time, its value increases. Fiat currency does not have this feature, so cheaper

In my opinion the halving is very good .as because of halving the price of bitcoins would go high up as the demand of bitcoin would increase.it is also done to make the price of bitcoin make more stable and i dont think it was any bad intentions.
Nope, Halving is not pure "good" effects on bitcoin because in the other side, Halving can be a risky event for bitcoin because it halves the block reward which will make the miners to earn less than they earn before and also if the prices dump after halving then it will be a hype for the other bitcoin users to sell their bitcoins too. Not all the times, the prices go up because it is always up to the investors,miners and hodlers.
So assuming if a miner can get 10 BTC with the price $1000 but after halving he will only get 5 BTC with the price of bitcoin $1500.

I don't see a lot of different both of the case. You must read more about how it works.

Need some spare btc for a new PC

Shouldn't halving be good for the btc in nay case? I mean with the block reward going down by half, miners will probably increase the fees by a little. Also, there is the electricity, from the halving, miners will be receiving 50% less and that's quite a lot imo, therefore they earn less with every halving and the difficulty is always rising. That's the one thing that in my eyes raises the btc price. If I'm wrong in any aspect, please correct me.

Halving is good because it controls the flow of bitcoin mined and it has limited supply so it will regulate the flow and being greedy of other miners will be avoided because its controlled. As time goes by, bitcoin mined is lesser and lesser and the effect would be higher demand and lower supply which will make the price go up and an advantage to bitcoiners.
And the process of halving makes bitcoin worse more, because of amount that decreases. Every time when the halving happens, we can get less bitcoins from mining and probably more it will cost. I think the main idea of halving, it's to make some border for people who are mining coin to make it pricier and give it a value as a currency, that's  indeed have a good sense
For me I think the halving is good for investors because the price will increase and the supply will decrease and in traders too. It is good for them because they will benefit in that halving. And for the miners it will be not good for then because the amount of the bitcoin that they can harvest is became lesser. For me it's totally depends in what group of people do you belong if you are in miners so the effect of it will be bad if you are in investors the effect of it will be good.

That is the whole strategy about halving ,to limit the supply and he came up with an genius plan and he never would have imagined that it would be this popular.If so he should have increased the time interval of halving so as to reduce the flow . Grin We need to have a good stable platform and i figure it is a good step to have some stability in the price as well.

Halving just make btc price up ans stabled so close in you one time high.

Now is up to snother galaxy.
Go btc
Looking at your account it looks like you are having a sr account and you still think that the current price rise is simply because of halving.
Halving is good because satoshi knew that people would start investing heavily in mining when it takes off and if not for halving the coins would have been mined long before he intended to be.
The purpose of halving is to half the mining reward by 50% last halving are last year and from 25 btc per block now we are 12.5 btc per block that can push the price to high.. because of the bitcoin supply is decreases.
The price of bitcoin is always depends on demand and supply so it will affected the price of bitcoin .
That's right. This doesn't affect the users as well miners much. The reason is that the supply to demand decreases. This creates a price increase to compensate the block reward with the increase in price. The past halving too place by mid 2016 and can expect the upcoming halving by the year 2020.

As the title says, is the halving good or bad for the price of bitcoin?

The halving will decrease the supply of bitcoin, whole keeping the demand, so that would make bitcoin worth more.

But the halving will make mining profitibilty worse, meaning less miners, a higher trans. fee, and maybe causing a smaller demand.

What's your verdict?

I think bitcoin will still go up, as the fees might, let's say, double, but that's still a smaller transaction fee than through the banks...

You are indeed correct, Halving for the ordinary community like us is very in favor to us actually. It wouldn't affect us all but it cannot be deny the least one reason that will get affected was the people who mined bitcoin or the miners in this industry.
