The halving of bitcoin is indeed a dirty little trick hiding in the source code.
The bitcoin white paper misleads:
"The steady addition of a constant of amount of new coins..."
Point being:
White paper does not mention halving !
Not that the Bitcoin White Paper will dictate everything, as Bitcoin halvings have been organized since 2012. In no way will e-Bitcoin become Islam because there are thousands of big institutional investors in Bitcoin, if Bitcoin had such a weakness investors would never have invested. We are seeing every halving bitcoin price reaches its maximum target.
