yes it will easily lead to many investors buying hoarding bitcoins for sale.  Bitcoin halving is really important next year because it can save this bear market.  But one thing I'm worried about is whether investors want to keep pushing the price of bitcoin up.  while Litecoin has also been abandoned after the halving event.  I predict that if next year bitcoin cannot reach $ 14k - $ 16k, it will die just like Litecoin at the moment.
