Still salty about selling out of my Orca position.
I hope I get my $1200 stimulus check soon.
However, I've stopped being worried about Bitcoin crashing,
so that's a nice feeling.
Unfortunately, the only thing bullish about the halving event in the short term is speculation, which could swing either way. Miners getting their income cut in half is not bullish for the network an day 1. The security of the network will be weakened as hash-power declines.
There is no scarcity on day one.
Scarcity builds up over time.
Not enough time has passed right when the halving happens,
which is why we see these speculative pump/dumps that try to price in the halving fail every single time.
Also yes, miner capitulation is also a thing.
Miners sell all their Bitcoin to pay the power bill.
However, because the value of Bitcoin is already so oversold, who knows what will happen.
It's very possible a pump will happen because the lockdown delayed it.
Quite right... if the halving rolls around and all of a sudden everyone realizes "holy shit the halving is here and Bitcoin is way oversold" it will pump no matter what the fundamentals are.
Thanks. Excited?
Not really :D

So, the scarcity won't drive price up? is it that the miners will have to sell more?

Ah yeah, I meant that the perception of scarcity - it becomes twice as hard to get etc.
Thanks. I don't know much about Bitcoin other than - I don't have enough - Unless it hits 3 million dollars! ;D
I'm glad your Hive account has gotten back to a $50k value...
I remember when I used to covet your holdings :D
Do not covet thy neighbors wife...
Married to crypto ;D
