The halving will be really good for bitcoin, will be a really important step and we will see how the price value will be increased, HW company miners are aware about it and they didn't stop by releasing more and more HW, why?

The price will raise and it will equilibrate the economy of the bitcoin, at least IMHO, in the end, what is expected, will happen.

TThe halving could be a positive thing or a negative thing to bitcoin because it make maners mine less and it could also increase the value of bitcoin

I think it will be good for bitcoin, halving will happen and a lot of people here, including myself think that bitcoin will reach a new ATH.
It will get harder and harder for the miners to keep mining more bitcoins, I hope things will go smoothly for them and that they will make profits as well, besides those transaction fees.

The halving is good because it was part of the design. 

The coins also become more rare so that is good also. 

Fees may increase but that is to be expected.

All good by my standards.

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...
New ATH cause of halving

bad for the miners, this time the reward for the mining is fewer, many miners are out and switched professions

Like you said, bitcoin price will keep going up and the fees will probably double, which I can understand.

Even if the fees goes up, it will still be cheaper than a bank transaction. The miners have to make some money somehow, I think this will be their only option.
I would be wary about increasing fees. Bitcoin could be potentially the best way to manage microtransactions - a killer app for that segment of market.
Increasing fees - even a tiny bit will kill idea of micro payments, kill faucets and micro tipping. Bitcoin will be almost the same as PayPal - looking at the fee level.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

Good for the price and for Bitcoin itself. We could use some price jump to at least half of the ATH ($550). If you still haven't got any coins you may call it bad  Wink

These days i was thinking that halving is good for the bitcoin community but it is not good for the bitcoin collector because the price will be increased when the supply is being decreased every 4 years.

I think the halving would be good for the value of bitcoin, bad for the miners out there. I think some might quit once it gets harder and harder to mine bitcoins.
They are most likely depended on the fees, which is not much at all. I wonder if it would be worth it for them to keep on going.

Miners won't stop mining just because of the halving. The price that will go up will compensate the lower block rewards. If we go up to $600-$700 around the halving, then miners will definitely not stop their hardware. They will be more than happy to mine.

it depends, if the amount is reduced maybe it would be good news for bitcoin, because it may increase the price of bitcoin, whereas if it is for a reduction in price, then it is bad news

Good. That was the way it is designed to be. Limited in quantity. I think the price will also rise so it will also be positive in the value-way for Bitcoin.

Off course Halving is very good for Bitcoin.It will help the price to be more higher and stable.After what the process of halving will be done the minimum price should be somewhat at around $ 500.There are just good things ahead relating to halving.

It keeps inflation in check and slows the rate of growth but provides less incentive to mine so investors,traders and the like might see it as positive while some miners may have a more negative opinion

Even after the halving the miners will continue as they will get huge rewards. Halving is a protocol of bitcoin, it is good for bitcoin ecosystem to stay intact.
actually the miners will get less reward but the value of what they make increases in my opinion

The difficulty has risen a lot recently. If the price does not rise after the halving, some miners will make a loss.

Yes. I hope so. But the halving will have much less effect in the future when the reward is small any way.
when the halving lowers the reward to zero, all miners will live depend on fee and it is still profitable in my opinion
