bitcoin is literally the most interesting market on the planet.
^calm before the storm==bitcoin price is about to explode up north with leaps and bounds you were never expecting!! :-D weeeee++
Why? What fundamentals have improved recently?
Less new bitcoins to be found every 10 minutes. Like clockwork.
That was ages ago. The halvings don't just make the price go up straight away, it's just a loose guideline for when the price should go up for miners' revenues to stay the same or get higher. Basically, no fundamentals have improved recently and I don't think that storms are very pleasant.
Bitebits wasn't talking about the halving. He was referring to the fact that new bitcoins are generated every 10 minutes (on average) and that, therefore, there are fewer left to go around, which makes every bitcoin a little more valuable.
