Bitcoin Halving: What Happens in Cryptocurrency’s Big Event?

Are you ready to participate in Bitcoin’s biggest event? The cryptocurrency world is abuzz with excitement as the next Bitcoin halving approaches. But what exactly is halving, and what does it mean for the future of everyone’s favorite digital currency?

Simply put, a halving is a change in Bitcoin blockchain technology that reduces the rate at which new Bitcoins are created. It’s like turning off the tap on an endless flow of virtual gold. And here’s the key. Past halvings have sparked massive rallies in the price of Bitcoin.

In 2012, 2016, and 2020, Bitcoin’s value soared after each halving. Just one year after the 2020 event, Bitcoin is up a whopping 545%. Now, with the next halving set for April 20th, everyone is curious. Will history repeat itself?

Some experts are optimistic and predict another sharp rise. Bitfinex analysts predict that the price of Bitcoin is likely to rise 160% over the next 12 to 14 months. $150,000 or more. Talk about hitting the jackpot!

But not everyone is convinced. David Mercer, CEO of LMAX Group, thinks differently. He was careful to point out that this time might be different. Uncertainty looms over the market as Bitcoin has already hit record highs before the halving.

So what will happen with this halving? Well, when that happens, the amount of Bitcoin offered as a reward to miners is cut in half. This makes mining less profitable and slows down the production of new Bitcoins. Some argue that this scarcity makes Bitcoin more valuable.

But there’s more! The recent surge in Bitcoin price may not be just due to the halving. Factors such as the introduction of the U.S. spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) and expectations of new institutional investments also fueled the flames.

Is the Bitcoin halving included in the price?

Now let’s talk about the elephant in the room. Is all this hype already reflected in Bitcoin’s current price? Some analysts think so. They believe that the impact of the halving may already be reflected in Bitcoin’s recent rebound. But only time will tell.

In the end, whether you are a Bitcoin die-hard believer or a skeptic, one thing is certain: halving is a big deal in the cryptocurrency world. The ride has just begun, so buckle up and hold on tight. Who knows? We might go on another adventure all the way to the moon!

final words

In the short term, it could go either way. Halving, ETFs, and mainstream interest are all bullish signals. But summers are often boring and depressing as big traders take their well-deserved holidays. From my perspective, we will have a good year, but I am worried about the coming months.

If you are low on capital, wait for the right moment to enter the market. If you’ve already participated, just wait a moment and enjoy the ride. At least that’s what I’m doing.
