Bitcoin halving is characterised by price boom and this is a general believe of some bitcoiners and members of this forum.
My greatest fear is; what if 2024 halving comes and go without any kind of bull run? Don't you think that there will be a serious problem and panic in the industry?
This is because 2024 halving is the greatest available hype that can move the market. Besides that, I don't see any possible wave that can move Bitcoin to a new ATH. Unless US government will have to make BTC a legal tender.
I get your point; tendencies of occuring the other way around. But we cannot do anything about it if that's the case. The market price is volatile so for sure there'll be other periods to anticipate other than Bitcoin halving. But to somehow lessen your worries, majority of people are expecting for a huge thing in the next fork and that is already something to consider, such that the market price of not only Bitcoin but also with others. The market price of cryptos are dependent with the demand solely. So if there is already a hype then the demand should be expected to be high, likewise with market prices. But if you're that worried, then wait for the right time to enter; once there is a clear sign of bullish run.
