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...

I think it will good for the price of bitcoin. But not really high, i'm sure the price of bitcoin will increase after halving. and more people will start using bitcoin too.

Depends on what happens. I think it will be good if the price skyrockets (which it should) as that will get bitcoin mentioned in the media again and hopefully get more laggards on board, but if it crashes back down soon after in will come all the negative press attention about it becoming another bubble. Hopefully the price will rise and stabalise pretty nicely and avoid a crash.

According to my knowledge, when halving will be good for bitcoin. well bitcoin prices will rise,and therefore I now continue to buy bitcoin and I make more profit by that.

The halving will make the current supply of bitcoin scarce, so make it more valuable. So the price will rise.

At this moment i dont' believe the price is the biggest thing happening for bitcoin.

Either the blocksize increase or adoption should be key now.

Most people are not a tech geek that give a shit about the blocksize debate, all they need is a high price to show that this thing is alive. Low price means that it is not valuable therefore if you want to force an adoption than simply start from the price, if the price is getting higher and higher then most people will finally notice it

Hey! I`m offended. jk.

Yup, price is the only thing that should matter to people, so it shows we can pay our damn bills with it lol. And continue to do things with it, imagine if it went back to horrible price point that would really suck.

At the end of the day we are only here to profit, lets be honest lol.

A lot people expect the price to shoot up to very high price levels, but there is a small possibility that the price will only show a slight increase. It's a scenario that you must not forget. No matter how small the chance is, it can always happen. I am already happy with the price staying just above $600 after the block halving.

Yeah i heard people talking about a rise to 800 dollars. Let's just wait and see what will happen.

we all dont know until the halving begin,so i just can guess what will happen,many people said when bitcoin halving come,bitcoin price will raise up so high,but its not expert statement,some expert cannot predict what exactly will happen after bitcoin halving.

All this is temporary. Price rise will be influenced by halving of block.
But real rise can happen only with more users of bitcoins.
This will happen over time , i don't expect sudden bum.

I think the halving is very good for the holders that have a bitcoin in their wallet because they can make a lot of money with the halving that is coming, but for the miners it will be bad because they will not get a lot more bitcoins after it and they will not gain bitcoins easy anymore so that is pretty bad for them.
For the most people the bitcoin halving will be a very good thing because they can make a lot of profit because of it.

It will be very good. The value will get higher I think, but you never know what is going to happen.
I hope that more people will use Bitcoin and get some profit of it. That will be nice for them and it will have a good reputation.

There will be a pump before the halving but in the end it will probably be a nonevent

we've seen halving the time from 2012 to 2013. halving very important role to make bitcoin prices boom to $1200

Not too long after the pump to $1200, the price goes down alot and burned alot of people. Do you expect that kind of things to happen again? You could be the new victim if the same bubble happen again and it is not healthy for bitcoin. Slower pump means alot more as people always love a stable price

Yeah after pump prices always go down slowly 2014-2015 even price was down less than $ 200. it really makes bitcoin slumped. the effect of halving rise, makes a lot of people selling bitcoin nominally, so the result bitcoin dropped drastically

The halving is a good thing for the bitcoin although it ha some downsides, as a example for the miners of course than cannot mine so many bitcoins anymore because of the block size by than.
But for the most its good, what I mean with the most is the people that just invested in the bitcoin.

Until now every time halving has been good, now this time whats gonna happen, No idea since normally by its nature it has started growing so. soon we can expect some increase

we know after halving prices will rise. but what you see after the price rise? as when in 2013 then? it makes people panic selling. everyone drool high prices

Why do you say "after halving"?
I'm sorry...we do not know.
If we would know...then we would buy before halving and the the "rising" wouls be before halving.
And if the "rising" is very important before the halving it is even possible that the "falling" is as well before the halving...
To be right...we do not know...Do not forget that the "market" is always an "anti-reation"

if you like "anti-reaction" follow my U2cloudmining system and you will see (in an other scala) how "anti-reaction" works.

I think it's both. It can have it's bad and good side and we can only hope that the positive effect is much greater. I think the halving will push bitcoin more to it's potential so who knows what will happen. Let's just find out when it already happens.
