halving takes place every few years to prevent value from inflation, analysts and bulls point out that after each of those events price experienced a substantial rally
Halving or ‘halvening’ happens every few years – as soon as new are mined. When it takes place, the rewards of miners are cut down in half. As per the recent , crypto bulls are already rubbing their hands in anticipation.
bitcoin miners’ reward will diminish
The reason is that after the previous two
halvings quotes showed an extensive surge, bringing traders more than
gains.
What happens at a halving is that the amount of coins that miners get for using their computation power to verify transactions gets cut by half.
The first halving occurred in 2012, another one was in 2016. After the first one price hit $1,000. The 2016 halving made price surge to an ATH of over $19,000.
Another award cut is expected in May 2020 and then an award for each block will total 6.25 , instead of 12.5 now.
Crypto community expects a major bull run
A recent Twitter poll shows that among 2,500 voters, 61% expect price to demonstrate a major rally. Since the award will be cut down by half, fewer Bitcoins will be released in circulation, which will make the coin scarcer than it is now, thus the price should go up.
As said above, after the first halving in
autumn 2012 price spiked from $10 to $1,000 within a year. The next
halving saw surge to almost $20,000 before it collapsed in 2018.
Crypto experts agree to differ
Major bulls, writes Bloomberg, such as
Anthony ‘Pomp’ from Morgan Creek Digital, have been drawing attention to the
2020 halvening, emphasizing its importance.
Some crypto experts remain skeptical, though. Eric Turner, the head of research at Messary Inc., believes that the connection between halvings and price surges is very thin.
Gil Luria from DA DA Davidson & Co thinks
likewise:
“There are so many factors that impact the price of , but this should not be one of them.”
