But due to the new hardfork we will have 2!! versions of Bitcoin, which means that block halving gets evaporated and is meaningless (only if Bitcoin is still alive until 2016)!  Huh Sad

This is nonsense.  Please listen to this interview with Gavin in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1075510.0

Block halving:  I think this will make the price go up but not to the moon.  It may be a catalyst for higher prices but by itself I don't anticipate it having a huge impact.  What would be nice for the price of bitcoin is if we stop the 20mb fud, which I believe is the cause of the recent price dip.  When that is resolved or everyone figures out what is really going on I expect to see a bounce.
