The price will rise around the halving time because miners will get less coins mined per day, and in order to still be profitable and not only do +- $0/day, they will need to manipulate the market to their favour.

This is good for us who even hold a few bitcoins or more, but less good for people who want to invest in bitcoin and jump on the train in a late stage. But who cares, most of us here want to make money, and some do, and some lose, thats the nature of the game.

I can't imagine all those who bought for $800-1000/btc...they must feel like losers, but cheer up, we will get back to new heights soon. And if you cant make profit, I am sure your losses will be much smaller.
