What Bitcoiners Are Saying About the Upcoming Bitcoin Halving

Is the halving priced in or not? Will it disrupt the bitcoin mining industry? Or accelerate adoption? Here’s what experts and community members are saying about the fourth — and perhaps most anticipated — halving.

On April 19, or whenever a bitcoin miner mines block number 840,000, the amount of bitcoin (BTC) entering into circulation will halve from about 900 a day to 450. This event, colloquially known as the halving (sometimes halvening), looms large in the Bitcoin mindshare, one of those things that makes Bitcoin Bitcoin. Perhaps because it only comes around on Leap Years (so far), bitcoiners tend to look forward to the halving more than most crypto holidays like Bitcoin Pizza Day or the anniversary of Satoshi Nakamoto publishing the white paper. But it won’t be around forever.

Once all 21 million bitcoins are mined, the halving will have served its purpose and cease (likely in 2140). Why did Nakamoto make it this way? No one knows. Just like there’s no real insight into why he chose a 21 million cap or Jan. 9 as launch day. There are many, many guesstimates that try to make sense of these seemingly arbitrary elements of Bitcoin’s design. Because if there’s one thing certain about Bitcoin, it’s that it tends to split opinions.

And so, with an event as anticipated as the halving there are certainly things to argue over. Is it “priced in” (meaning will the reduction in supply of bitcoins entering the market cause a rally)? Will the reduced revenues drive bitcoin miners bankrupt? Will this time be any different?
CoinDesk turned to the crypto community to get their say:

Ed Hindi, chief investment officer at Tyr Capital:
Bitcoin remains a viable doomsday asset in 2024, as its correlation to gold recently increased, and investors continue to diversify away from traditional financial assets. The ETF is currently spearheading this doomsday rally and we should expect $120,000 to be hit in the coming months as global geopolitics continues to deteriorate and the middle classes continue to find ways to protect their wealth.
