"The halving is slready priced in". The statement that you should be telling everyone, if you actually wanted to buy in in a cheaper price to HODL

You can price in expectations but not real change in coin supply

This is not to say that the coming halving will necessarily trigger a massive surge in prices. But if it will not, this will be due to the mostly negligible effect of the next reward halving on the total supply of coins. Don't forget that halving is intended to work and does actually work in line with the law of diminishing returns

With each halving coming along and by, the reward gets diminished until there is virtually nothing left to diminish further (we are still far from that but you get the point). And thus no mind-boggling and earth-shattering effect on prices should be expected that would come about specifically because of the decrease in the supply of new coins

Or can they? Well, it is not even certain if they will be able to print anything due to ongoing investigations into their shady practices of rigging the market. Now we will probably see real evidence emerge of what has been rumored for 3 years. Namely, that the ATH of 20k in 2017 was all fake and happened entirely thanks to crafty market manipulation carried out by a tightly-knit group of knowledgeable people (read, no more bull runs of the 2017 scale)

People were saying the same thing in 2015 about the 2013 bull run. That it was all thanks to the bot Karpeles had set. That it was all fake and won't ever happen again, but it did. I hope the next bull run will be all natural instead of a speculative bubbles like 2013 and 2017, but I believe it will happen

To be exact, people were saying quite different things in 2015 and 2019. Just in case, tethers emerged only in April 2017, if I'm not mistaken
