Im so excited about the halving, whether you think its going to go up or down no one can argue that the uncertainty is gonna bring some volatility so us traders can finally make some good money again.

its sentiment like this that reminds me of weird Twilight Zone episodes.

The Block subsidy is inflation that devalues all our savings, it also necessary to incentivize security. It,s not so much a reward halving, it's a transaction cost subsidy halving and inflation halving.

The halving is a scary time, it's a big culling and a shake up. The last halving was anticipated by a big run up and then a slump, it wasn't until the drop in inflation kicked in and the liquid supply dried up that the markets went wild.

ultimately I think the same thing is going to happen again, except this time it'd different, there is more risk, bigger investments at stake and I think well see some a more volatile trend line and its going to be harder to predict.

make no mistake nothing is a given there is risk.

Well said. "The halving is a scary time" indeed. The market does not like uncertainty.

Once the halving is past and the block size debate has been settled, I think we might see the moon pop out from behind the clouds, for a while... (always new clouds on the horizon)
