What?
Who has the most power over Bitcoin? Right, these are mining pools. Who is most interested in preserving the current block reward? The same mining pools...
Who gives a fuck what the pools do, it's what the miners do.
Mining pools act on behalf of the miners. Besides,
do you understand that the miners will be the first to welcome the cancellation of halving?No.
I've been mining since late CPU/early GPU days and still going strong. Been through the 50BTC->25BTC halving, when some of the same concerns were aired.
Once must understand that halving is an essential part of the Bitcoin protocol, aimed at approximating the natural increase in scarcity, observed in other
money systems, like gold (as opposed to
currencies, like dollar, which can be printed ad infinitum). Besides, Bitcoin is not about miners, it's about the ecosystem. You need bitcoins, go and ask for your salary being paid in them, or buy them.
BTC50 or
BTC25 or
BTC12.5 or
BTC6.25 or
BTC3.125 or
BTC1.5625 or
BTC0.78125 or
BTC0.390625 ...
It ultimately does not matter as the market will correct for that (unless external forces manipulate the price, like they do with gold or oil prices).
Cancellation of halving (and acceptance of that by the majority vote of the miners) is exactly what may stop me from mining and walking away from Bitcoin, as that would signal that Bitcoin failed.
