Bitcoin Halving is done, what’s next?


For weeks, if not months, the buzz in the crypto-world has been the Bitcoin halving. That happened on May 11, so what happens now?

The change in mining rewards from 12.5 Bitcoin to 6.25 Bitcoin happened, but the impact of this was never expected on the same day.

The buzz happened before and will happen after the event. The halving means that the miners will have half as many Bitcoins that they need to pay for the mining process. It means that over the coming weeks and months, there will be less selling pressure which means buying demand will have a greater chance of pushing prices up. And the miners, the key people in the Bitcoin ecosystem, need the prices to go up because they just had a 50% income cut.

For all the speculators on Bitcoin price rises out there, like me, be very clear, the purpose of Bitcoin is not to make you or anyone else money. Its purpose is to be a currency. So the only people who really matter are the users of the currency and the miners who make the system happen.

Also ‘Blessed are the Speculators’ as they will drive the Bitcoin price up to a value whereby the market will justify its value by users using it as a currency. Either as a medium of exchange or as a store of value (digital gold).

Now, the focus on the Bitcoin speculators, with the halving completed, are the fundamentals. People are increasingly using the currency. People buying the currency, and most importantly, the large financial institutions are buying it.

Will this happen? Absolutely. Every week we get more news of new institutional grade exchanges, asset custodians, etc. It all builds buying pressure which eventually will mean prices will trade to levels that will attract a flood of speculators. This will drive the market into a FOMO boom to reach a level that is justified by usage. $100,000 per coin is the logical level.

So keep your eyes on the news and make sure you own as much as possible today.

  I lost my bet We messed up pretty bad. All of the core staff in Dacxi lost the bet we made in January 2020 on what the price of Bitcoin would be in USD by the end of 2020. Most people guessed between $10 and14k. And if it was above 14k we would grow beards, so no one was surprised when they had to start growing facial hair at the beginning of this week! Being the eternal optimist that I am, my guess was 20k. As of today, Bitcoin is $23,400 up 22% on the week, and still 10 days to go till the end of the year. Will it breach $25k or correct down to $20k? Who knows? And frankly who cares! The buzz behind crypto grows every week, helping all of us to establish crypto as a new asset class and paving the way for more and more people to have access to something they have never had before. Nigeria is the perfect example of why BTC will succeed. The central bank has blocked access to international bank remittances in local currency (Naira). Many Nigerians sending money through these inter...

How crypto has helped me live life on my terms?

"Financial freedom has been a long and winding road for me, and crypto has been an important part of that journey." Financial freedom has been a long and winding road for me, and crypto has been an important part of that journey. Looking back there’s definitely some reoccurring themes whilst I discovered my passion and purpose. I grew up in the East End of London in the seventies, where there weren’t really any entrepreneurial or business minded people as mentors.   I think we all grow up with a certain amount of baggage from the stories your parents tell you around money, and whilst we were OK financially I definitely picked up the scarcity mindset, and can remember hearing comments like “money doesn’t grow on trees” or “it’s the root of all evil”.    Growing up I really wanted to be a teacher, and often delivered lessons to a row of my teddies and dolls!   Unfortunately, my school wasn’t the most supportive, particularly as I really hated reading in public, and t...

Elon Musk: Crypto’s most important fan

This week Elon Musk announced that Tesla was purchasing $1.5bn worth of bitcoin, and intends to accept bitcoin as a form of payment. The market reacted rapturously, flying to an all-time high over $48,200 appreciating a jaw-dropping 20% in one day, a record single-day dollar growth. What this news means for the crypto industry more broadly, cannot be underestimated. It is praise indeed that one of the world’s richest men backs crypto, particularly one whose business ethos is to be a renegade thinker pushing the boundaries of mankind itself! Whilst there is much talk of reaching a long awaited “tipping point”, this over-simplifies the significance of the events of the last few days. Of course, Musk’s praise of bitcoin has attracted much attention in the traditional media, who have long been hostile to crypto, limiting their commentary to the two main themes of “scam” or “fad”. The rally now seems to be indicative that crypto is held to be a mainstream asset; indeed, bitcoin now has a ...
