One thing for sure is there are less Bitcoin for sale. If price not changed, miner have to sell the coins they mined last year, the year before. Eventually, less miner will be in business.
Well, when that happens, we won't be able to move bitcoin from address to address right? Since those takes blocks to solve. Correct me if I"m wrong.

guys chill out

if you thought that the price would jump the minute it hit block 420,000 then you do not understand bitcoin, you dont understand mining and you dont understand trading..

here is some lessons
miners cannot spend the coins instantly.. they have to mature first.
miners do not pay for electricity every hour. they pay it monthly.

so if you are expecting instant price changes today you are just fooling yourself.

give it a few weeks-month for miners to actually experience a decrease in their income when they actually start to pay bills.
just like the last halving.. miners did not really see a change in their spending until the chinese new year ended and the bills started piling up when things went back to business..

it will not be an instant thing, it takes time for the real world to see the effects

Thanks for some logic in here. First post I see making some sense ^.^

Yes, people are so crazy, one whale can make huge thing today.
Price is actually increasing few months already i do not think it will be much higher than 800USD

you realize that bitcoin is programmed this way even if hash rate increases 1000 times fold still you will get the same amount of bitcoin.
So one can easily estimate and calculate the price in average with -/+$20. how ever there are some panic selling right now so we
Have to wait and see if they stop to sell only then price jumps more and more by the hour.

Yes, that explanation makes the most sense to me.

Also, there is a LARGE stock of Bitcoin out there, I do not think that a relatively minor (in the short-run) trimming of BTC supply is going to matter at least for a while.

As time goes by, and if demand for BTC picks up, then we will likely see something grander...   Smiley

In an ideal world, everyone who currently owns bitcoin would hold them and when any new buyers come into the market the price is going to be higher than what we have now. Obviously we dont live in an ideal world and lots of people who currently hold will dump but the main contributing factor is going to be new users coming in and buying, And with the supply halved now price should slowly rise as adoption increases and more and more people start using bitcoin as the new gold.

Nothing will happen for a while. I don't think it will reach 1000+ for a while.

But its pretty awesome that the rate of Bitcoin production is cut in half now.

Yes we have halving day today at already it happened now reward for mining will be 12.5 onwards. Reward is halved instantly however we have to wait to see actual movement in price for next few weeks or even months. If none of the miner's left mining, price can go up but not today or tomorrow it will take some time to see price movement.

One thing's for sure: bitcoins are now relatively more scarce. You can draw your own conclusions as to how that should affect the price.
