128 days until the halving from now aprox. the prices can rise before than this happens...........................

In the last four months, we've gone from the low-to-mid 200's to about $400. What makes you think that isn't the run up to the halving? Bitcoin is up over 70% in the last four months. Maybe you missed it. I'm hopeful it will continue to go up, but I won't be surprised if it's reached its high point already related to the halving hype.

Yeah, you are right...
There is a possibility of price rise BEFORE halving and not after, as when halving happens, people will surely dump, so be ready to see a very big price hike showing new ATH to us before halving takes place...

But dogecoin scrapped their cap and look how valuable that coin is now! /s

I hope you are not serious to compare dogecoin with bitcoin. Something that has no limit has no value, the less something are then the value will be higher. I believe you learned this as well in your economic class so scrapping cap is not an option for bitcoin unless you want to turn it into a trash

Yeah mate. The "/s" I posted denotes sarcasm.

Anybody that writes "the price would surely increase after the halving" or "after halving the price will fall down for sure" is just speculating.

Since the very first comment people are speculating and things looking so bizarre to predict that we're seen every type of comment here, but that's all, specutation and speculation, nobody's effectively right till this point, even coindesk made an article this january and it's all about speculation. Bitcoin it's not about fear or expectaions of "if values increase" or "decrease"... it's the system maturity and I believe it will be good (not predicting or expecting anything at all).

I think halving would be good for the short period, as it is expected that price will climb up, so the investors who have invested at lower price would surely get benefited out of it, but after halving the price will fall down for sure.

Yeah halving would be good for those who have invested their money at present as the price would surely increase after the halving, and if the price climbs up they would surely benefited and get some profits.

I think it is pretty logical that business which are mining today for a 25 BTC block (around 380$) will eventually stop mining if there will be no upwards price trend.
Why mining 12.5 BTC blocks at this price when the day before they were able to mine the double?

It really depends on how much it takes to run the business... What if it was back to $200's like it was last August? What if it was $800 right now? It doesn't necessarily HAVE to double the exact price that it is priced at right now. So if someone already has the computer hardware and only has to pay for electricity, then he would have to try to get passed the electricity costs... So it all really depends on which miner or mining farm we are talking about.

I think halving is good.

1. Lower inflation
2. Lower amount of coins mined, so lower everyday's dump.

Longer-term, also good because - bigger demand - lower supply = price rising.

In a perverse way that might actually buy it a whole lot more credibility in the eyes of the wider world.

You might be right. The idea that something we treat as "money" can have a finite quantity is completely foreign, and probably scary, to a lot of people. What does bitcoin think it is, gold?

good or bad, it is on the horizon

I have been investing in bitcoin for more than 2 years now. I am worried about the halving effecting bitcoin price badly. I hope it all will be well. Although i have a question for more experienced bitcoin users. Is there a possibilty that this halving may cause crises in bitcoin market?

Last Bitcoin halving can't be used as a reference simply because the market, at that time, was completely different. We can't do a clear prediction and therefore we can't foresee what is going to be then. One thing is certain: BTC halving will not be easy for who does not have strong nerves.
Cool

there may be good and bad for bitcoin, bitcoin prices rising news may be higher than the current price, but the bad news may bitcoin will be very difficult to obtain again, I think like that Sad

Think the same and in this case price will have to go upat least 50% for all to gain something

If the miner reached ROI, he will never think about bitcoin halving and about diff , and he will running his own hardware every day Roll Eyes

im only member, user, follower at bitcoin network no more
in my opinion bitcoin halving is good
because it's make "miner" get lower bitcoin, then more miner will think to sell his bitcoin at higher price (where he can take ROI faster) and im sure will make bitcoin price move up every week (maybe 3-4%/week)

Well you're right concerning the miner will.
But it's not the miners who decide which price is the good one.
The market is a supply demand one. It means that the supply is important, bu on the condition that the demand stays the same!

+1 Laosai
But the problem after halving is for the who now earn just a minimum...after halving they win lose day after day because the electricity fees.

i forecast that many mining hardware will be sold for a good price soon...and perhaps already before the halving.

If you check hashnest, the hashes are on an all-time low and we're still far away from halving. Difficulty changes are already taking its toll.

so long miners are made...the difficulty can potentialy increase.

they are made for a reason, because there is still plenty of profit in the mining scene, with cheap electricity, and because the value is good enough for now, it will be bad for the halving though
