Bitcoin halving is an event where the reward for mining new blocks is halved, occurring approximately every four years. This mechanism is built into Bitcoin's protocol to control its supply and ensure scarcity. The most recent halving happened in May 2020, reducing the reward from 12.5 to 6.25 bitcoins per block mined. It's a significant event in the cryptocurrency world, often impacting its price and miners' profitability.

#BinanceTournament #BRC20 #SATS #FET #ATOM Is it possible for the Bitcoin value to drop to $1 and then purchase 5,000 bitcoins, and when the value goes up again sell them to become a millionaire?
Yes, it is possible that BTC could drop to $1.00.
Back in March 2011, the price of BTC dropped from $2.50 to $1.00.
A few months later (June, 2011), BTC surged to $31.91. When that happen, sceptics decried it ever going higher, especially to a ludicrous price of $100.00. Pundits and grey-haired economists said that BTC was a rat-poison-squared bit-jizz Ponzi scheme that would quickly burst its bubble and die. This was the first of many exaggerated reports of BTC's death.
If you bought 5,000 BTC on that day in 2011, you would be now in the upper middle-class. Rich, but not a whale. When BTC equals US dollar parity (Global M1; BTC = $390,000; 1 sat = $0.01), you'd have been a multimillionaire. However, that drop to $1.00 happened in the past and as far as the future goes, will only happen one more time. Just once. When BTC has lost favor and its last mining rig is turned off. When that happens, BTC will enter the hallowed halls of Deadcoins.com.
You wouldn't want to be buying BTC when that happens.
Mark my words - it will happen. Maybe not today, or next year. But likely no later than sometime after the last of 21M Bitcoin is ever mined in 2140. Because if there's little to no incentive to work, people revert to their lazy genes, lose their hunger and allow corruption to take over. Proof-of-work prevents the devil's work.
But enough of my proselytizing. Just be cognizant of Hal Finney's words:
The bitcoin price could come under pressure as some of the money is likely to completely exit the ecosystem, the report said.
A significant number of Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC) shares have been bought in the secondary market this year at a deep discount to net asset value (NAV) in anticipation the trust’s conversion to an exchange traded fund(ETF) will be approved by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), JPMorgan (JPM) said in a research report Thursday.
The bank estimates a net $2.5 billion has flowed into GBTC since the start of the year, increasing to $2.7 billion if adding the covering of short interest.
“Assuming this buying flow was mostly speculative in anticipation of GBTC being converted to an ETF, then it is likely that this $2.7b would come out of GBTC as these investors take profit once GBTC gets converted,” analysts led by Nikolaos Panigirtzoglou wrote.
“If this $2.7b exits completely the bitcoin space then such an outflow would of course put severe downward pressure on bitcoin prices,” the authors wrote. “If instead most of this $2.7b shift into other bitcoin instruments such as the newly created spot bitcoin ETFs post SEC approval, which is our best guess, then any negative market impact would be more modest.”
Still, the “balance of risks for bitcoin prices is skewed to the downside in our opinion as some of this $2.7b is likely to completely exit the bitcoin space,” the bank said.
Much more than $2.7 billion could leave GBTC if its fee is not lowered aggressively after conversion into an ETF, the report added.
#binannce #BTC #binN Bitcoin's 3-Week Consolidation Under $38K Has Bullish Undertone The pullbacks have become less deep over the past three weeks, suggesting the building up of bullish sentiment, one observer said.
Bitcoin's (BTC) price rally has stalled since Nov. 9, with $38,000 proving a tough nut to crack. That does not necessarily mean the uptrend is over. In fact, a closer look at how prices have behaved during the consolidation suggests it isn't. While the gains have been capped closer to $38,000, the subsequent pullbacks have been shallow and short-lived, a sign of persistent "buy-the-dip" demand within the price consolidation. The horizontal upper bound of resistance and rising lower bound from shallow dips can be identified as an ascending triangle formation on the price chart.
In other words, bitcoin could be building energy for the next leg higher.
"Bitcoin bounces around in an ascending channel, hitting its three-week upper resistance of $37.8K on Wednesday evening. An intensifying sell-off thwarts attempts to heat the price, but the pullbacks have become less deep over the past three weeks, suggesting the building up of bullish sentiment," Alex Kuptsikevich, a senior market analyst at FxPro, said in an email
Ascending triangles mostly end with a bullish breakout, extending the preceding uptrend, according to chartered market technician Charles D. Kirkpatrick II and technical analyst Julie R. Dahlquist's book "Technical Analysis: The Complete Resource for Financial Market Technicians 3rd Edition." The book focuses on traditional markets.
"Upward breakouts occur 77% of the time, and breakouts happen roughly 61% of the distance (time) from the base to the cradle," Kirkpatrick II and Dahlquist say in the book while warning of the potential for failed breakouts. A fake breakout happens when prices move beyond the resistance, only to fall back into the pattern quickly, trapping buyers on the wrong side of the market.
