What is the halving?

The Bitcoin Halving is like a Christmas that occurs once every four years. Santa Clause delivers presents in the form of untold riches but only to those good little boys who've been buying and holding their Bitcoins and ignoring altcoins.

What is the halving really?

The Bitcoin block mining reward halves every 210,000 blocks, or about every four years, and the coin reward will decrease from 25 to 12.5 coins

When is the halving?

July 9th

This halving is the first time in hears I'm thinking of doing something with my cold wallet.

I think BTC will surge up until the halving and then go back into the 400 range.

Where the fuck do I put my profits if I sell before the halving? Don't want to convert to USD becuase then I'll have to pay taxes. I just want to sell before and jump back in a couple weeks after.

Also, made some serious BTC off trump coin. (Still holding plenty Trumps) How ya'll getting those profits into your pockets without taxes?

Won't miners quit as the price doesn't double, sell off their stash/take profits, and we will see a dip before we see it balance itself out? I believe it's going up because of the halving (not to mention how useful it is now that a lot of countries are going to shit and have massive inflation) but it will take awhile.

If the halving occurs with the limited bitcoin pool being almost depleted, do you think the rewards from mining will be so insignificant that miners will either have to upgrade their equipment (resulting in more cost) or quit the scene because the incentive is gone since it's much harder now to reap the rewards of Bitcoin. With miners leaving, the Bitcoin value will drop. I'm new to this but that's just my thoughts on it, feel free to correct me on this

There there are like 4 big companies that control like half of the world's amount of Bitcoin. If the halfing occurs, then the majority of the miners will probably quit due to the fact that newer hardware must be used to overcome the small reward that is caused by the halving. There would be no incentive for mining bitcoin after the halving.

Sure there is a lot of Bitcoin being sold every day but unlike a natural resource where its value is accepted worldwide and carries superficial value as well as monetary, Bitcoin's only use is to be converted into money. The support from miners are the only reason why Bitcoin is still relevant and if the incentive to mine is gone then the value will deplete

Mining Bitcoin was easy back then. The Bitcoin pool was vast back then. Now most of the Bitcoins are mined and are held by big Chinese companies. The Bitcoin miners who stuck through will benefit from this halving, but after this halving, the Bitcoin is probably going to slowly decrease in value. Since it requires more effort to mine and this will not only make some of the current miners quit, it will also not attract new miners and without miners, its value is going to go down

Isnt the value of Bitcoin dictated from the effort of mining the damn thing? If the effort is too much, yeah the value is going to skyrocket, but if it is too costly then average miners are not going to mine bits of Bitcoin from a pool that's almost depleted

>> No.1354243

What the fuck...
This faggot is so dumb. There are more than 15 million bitcoins out there, only 3600 plus a day, it's not that much of a difference, if anything people will think that this might increase the price too much and buy btc which will make the price increase more than it should artificially. Also, "lol less miners means less bitcoins".
Holy fuck, people who spread disinformation like this should be hanged like the niggers they are. If there are 10 guys mining in one single day and all of them have the "mining power" of "1"(Example), all of them will get 1800/10 which will be 180 bitcoins per day. Now if there is only one guy mining with mining power of "1", since he is the only one, there will be 1800 bitcoins going to him. The number and power of all miners combined doesn't change the number of bitcoins that are going to be released in a single day.

The miners are the one who dictate the price of value of Bitcoin. The popularity of Bitcoin spreads from successful miners and encourage new miners to participate and the cost of a Bitcoin is dictated from the effort of mining it.

If the miners are going to decrease after the halving due to the need of much more effort of mining little bits of Bitcoin from a now very limited pool of bitcoins, then I don't see why miners would care to stay

This is where you are wrong. Supply and demand is the only thing that dictates the price. The amount of supply that miners generate from mining is not the whole supply. You are forgetting the millions of bitcoins that are being traded daily.

Sorry to break it to you bro, but you, and people like you are insignificant too. Your measly 200 bitcoin is a drop in the bucket. The market is controlled by large whales that manipulate the price. Just like fiat there is under a small minority of individuals that control most of the wealth. Your fate is entirely at their whim. If they decide to crash the market tomorrow and get richer by shorting the market, that is what they will do.

Sad but true. Whales can actually make more money by starting a massive sell off and then shorting than by holding longterm. This is perfectly legal too since bitcoin is unregulated.

i think the rally will definitely go on til the actual halvening by then ever gullible fuck bought his bitcoins and sits on them asscheek clenched waiting fr the moon rocket. the guys that bought the latest and don't see any growth or even a slight dip start to sell impatiently because the moon doesn't seem so sure now as they sell price goes down the more it does the more try to close their purely speculative position in bitcoin and the more price falls.
i think shortly after the halvening a small crash is imminent. so i will sell all my bitcoin to be sure before the halvening. i have a few days to wait and see how much i get for them. and if price stabilizes after i can still buy back in. i'm not going to hold through this bullshit. i think the major support for bitcoin price rally so far ran out (chinks and brexit) so now it's mostly speculation driven.

You can buy gold from silver.com directly with bitcoin. Don't know if it would draw any attention. You technically don't realize gains until you convert to USD.

From investopedia:

>DEFINITION of 'Panic Buying'
>A type of behavior marked by a rapid increase in purchase volume as the price of a good or security increases. Panic buying has the effect of reducing the supply of the good or security, while at the same time driving the price up even higher. This type of behavior is often the result of a feeling of being "left out" if a purchase is not made immediately.

>Panic buying may result from a number of different events. A public's panic buying of a good, such as water or bread, may come as the result of news indicating impending bad weather, as consumers fear a shortage of items as a result of weather-related scarcity.

>In the stock market, an investor may see a rapid increase in the price of a security and buy shares out of fear that they will miss out on continued increases. This purchase behavior often results in a suspension of fundamental evaluation, which can result in losses once the market calms down.

It has nothing to do with "stuff people need", although the most common items that are panic bought are food and water in emergency situations. It also can be people just dont want to miss out on "tremendous gainz, yo". Wtf do you think happened in the beanie baby bubble? Do you think people were going out rushing to buy beanie babies because they actually needed them? No. They knew the market was scarce and were in a panic to buy up beanie babies so they didnt miss out on the massive price increases. Panic buying is absolutely a thing and when the price of bitcoin is going up, people see $$$ and think that they are going to get rich off of it so they are in a panic to buy them. Is it irrational? Fuck yea. But people are itrational, stupid creatures. Just look at all the stampedes and people getting crushed on Black Fridays before they were more organized. Its the same reason ponzi schemes are so effective. People are greedy and lose all sense of rationality and risk aversion when they see dollar signs.

You have to understand the psychology behind it. A lot of people who didn't buy bitcoin before 2013 consider it a loss of potential gains. They agonize over the fact that they could have made millions if they had bought at the right time. Maybe you or I don't really dwell on it at all and don't quite understand the mentality but there are those who do. Missing out on another "train" is just as bad to them as if they lost real money.

why would it? there is no mechanism that would provide miners the ability to influence prices to any significant degree. what they can do and this is important increase their expectations of fees prioritize high-fee transactions even more than before.

this will result in using bitcoin as a transfer vehicle or as currency more expensive. which will result in less inclination to do so by the users. longer transaction times also won't help. lot's of pitfalls ahead of bitcoin to overcome in this period. all of which can worsen the user experience.

the likelihood of the price falling instead of increasing is way way higher.

No disagreement there, it's an interesting situation. I'm not saying this guarantees the price to rise in fact the general sentiment is that it will fall shortly after - and so that's probably what will happen.

You know this reminds me how many silver mining operations are barely making any money

Also what I really liked about XPM was that as demand increased the reward decreased, but there was no capped limit. Which is essentially how a lot of people (boomers) claim the economy is supposed to work.

How do miners affect the price?
The more miners, the cheaper the money transfer.
Less miners = less transfer processing (verifications) = higher fees = less trade = different price.

While the price is likely to go up, it's also possible it will hit some hard ground for a while.
The best thing about bitcoin though, is that it's fairly adjustable.
Less reward for miners (amount of bitcoins, value of bitcoin, complexity) = less miners = more reward per miner eventually (lower complexity) until equilibrium.

>The price is guaranteed to go into four digit territory

You keep saying this over and over and stil have yet to explain why. Its not going to happen just because you really really want it to. There would need to be some radical change to the actual protocol, something bizarre like massive market manipulation and some type of huge organization that adopts bitcoin (not just approves it) for the price to go into 4 digits. Remember that this thing used to be 4 digits years ago and only because a perfect storm of mtgox, willybot, market manipulation, silkroad and bitcoins emergence into the public eye all occuring at the same time.

Now silkroad and darkmarkets are all but defunct, mtgox is dead and bitcoin is already well known and hyped to death. It just wasnt able to hold the 4 digits for even a month for the bubble to burst and everyone to try to cash out at varying levels while most people had their funds stuck in mtgox and were plundered for any gains they made. I am surprised after that fiasco that anyone trusts bitcoin exchanges at all. Greed is a powerful thing. It is because of that greed that I doubt bitcoin will ever reach anywhere near its ATH again. Theres really not even any gaurantee that bitcoin will go up at all. Once the halving is over they will have to come up with some other meme hype event to keep the investor money flowing.

>t's going above $1000 because there's going to be more demand and less supply
Why is there going to be more demand?

we've had an insane demand bubble the past half year leading into the halvening based off of hype and fomo because of all the halvening shilling that has been going on.

that bubble has already started bursting and btc will settle somewhere between 300 and 550 when the halvening ends during a bear market and all hype about it being "gamechanging" dies off.

"wait what the halvening happened and the price is dropping wtf?" can you picture it?

currently treating btc as a market that has turned from bull to bear and investing with that in mind(margin trading). i suggest anyone to keep that in mind or at least be open to it while they trade.

>> No.1359173

Since everyone is jerking off all over their crystal balls I'll add my 2 cents.

Btc price is gonna fall heavily after the halving by retards who don't understand it and bought in just before to "cash in". Buy the dip at <$500, it'll only stay down for a few hours before recovering to something more reasonable.

After that, price will slowly rise, but it won't go past $850 in 2016, the market cap is already stupidly high for an internet currency and you'll only see slow growth from here

Buy and hold is the only strategy left for btc, anything else is day trading and you'd be better served gambling on altcoins whose prices are highly volatile.
And to all you "btc is overpriced" cucks, the invisible hand of the market is clearly proving you wrong. The price YOU think it should be is irrelevant and you should probably start paying attention to real life a bit more. There is no "real price", not for bitcoin and not for anything else. There is only supply and demand, and you're just lusting after the days when demand was limited to drug dealers and idealistic nerds.

This guy gets it. The bitcoin market changes all the time and usually it is predicated by some type of recent news that turns into an overblown event. The halving should have really only been a big deal to miners, whos bitcoin makes up only a tiny portion of the overall market. It was blown out of proportion as shills used it as propoganda to hype up the price. The problem with this is that when the hype ends the price will revert close to where it was before all the halvening buying as people cash in their profits.

Long term holders like OP, however, are different beasts entirely. They are true believers that think that bitcoin will reach 4 figures again based solely on the fact that it has done it before. There really is no refuting them because they dont use any type of real logic to come to their determination.

i'm a trader, i'm not a holder. the chinese run the market, there is no point in posting fud here, it would be like pissing in the ocean.

As a trader i've made more $ on this bubble longing and trading btc with leverage than you have by having your holdings rise in value. With a much smaller amount of capital.

Of course you want to live in a dream world where everything is alright and your money is safe an well invested by letting it just stay in bitcoin, that is not the case in the coming timeperiod though. Perhaps opening your mind will allow you to save quite a bit of money in the near future.

I have no reason to fud here as a trader I look at the facts, make up my mind and act accordingly. If bitcoin is in a bull market or a bubble does not matter to me as I make money either way as long as i identify the general trends. someone who trades has no reason to fud, holders do though.

miners have nothing to do with the price of bitcoin miners can only dictate transaction fees to a degree but it's a traitor takes all situation so they can't just blindly trust each other.

I've just enrolled in CIS at university and I'm wanting to slowly dip my toes into Bitcoin and business. I will read the info available on the main website and watch a few videos.

Is there anything in particular that sticks out to you all that someone new coming in should know about?

How about something you wish yourself would have known?

Any responses are appreciated

Is coinbase an okay website to use? 3.75 percent ttransaction fee to go from USD->Bitcoin or back again when selling seems like it would fuck me a little bit. Is there a way to avoid this? Whats the best way to go about this?

Most of the resources ive read online recommend coinbase, but there is no way people are paying 3.75percent in fees for every buy.

I use the Coinbase exchange GDAX. You can deposit money directly to your GDAX account (depending on payment method can take 5 days) or deposit bitcoin from a wallet and place a limit buy or sell to purchase or sell bitcoin and pay NO FEE. With Coinbase you are paying for the convenience of being able to go use a debit card or I think even a gift card to buy bitcoin. They also allow you to cash out into a paypal account.

Or you can buy and sell btc/usd on the GDAX exchange and if you place limit buys and sells and those limits are hit, you pay no fee at all to change between btc and usd. The only time you will wait is when you are sending the usd or whatever currency back to your bank account.

Yes, simply buy the bitcoin and transfer it into a good wallet. Then when you are ready to sell if you do sell then you can just send it back onto the exchange. Some would say its not a good idea to just leave bitcoin sitting on an exchange for a long time but you could if you wanted to.

Good point!

A few questions about the wallet stuff.. what would be a good secure wallet to use? Whats a secure way to keep track of coins long term? I've heard the horror stories of lost harddrives and such.

Also, I can continually send coins to the wallet from the exchange, correct?

>> No.1363465

armory.
you can use a small netbook with linux and armory for offline transaction signing, print an unencrypted recovery seed and store it in a safe if you have one as well as store the encrypted wallet on a cloud service site.

then make a watching only wallet and install armory on a computer with internet access to initiate transactions

When the halving happens, it's going to destabilize the prices of all the altcoins as well, wouldn't it? Bitcoin is the main metric by which all the altcoins establish their value.

Virwox lets you deposit money via credit card without an ID, which you can then convert to SLL, which you can then convert to BTC.

Downside is they've got hefty fees, compared to other methods. Paying $440 (maximum allowed daily) will only result in something like $400 of actual bitcoin, since the deposit fee for that is around $20 and then there's a fee for conversion to and from SLL.

How do you guys buy and sell your btc? I have a kraken account, but funding it with USD is a pain in the ass. I've had a deposit order pending for over a week. I also have a coinbase account, but fuck their 1% fee. I bought 1 BTC on kraken on the fee was less than $2.
