In the expert community, many share the view that the reduction of the bitcoin miners' reward in May 2020 or the so-called halting in the BTC network will trigger a coin take-off to a new maximum.
A study by Digital Asset said that BTC will gain at an aggressive pace because halving will reduce mining profitability . This will lead to a reduction in coin production and the subsequent onset of a BTC deficit in the market, which will fuel demand.
Analysts have built a model for changing the value of bitcoin in anticipation of a halving, from which it follows that the largest digital currency will jump in price to $ 60,000. Moreover, this will happen within the next few months.
We will see peak bitcoin exchange rates by May next year, experts say. In this case, the market capitalization of the digital asset will exceed $ 1 trillion. When building a model for changing the price of a coin, analysts examined the market situation before and after previous halvings .
It was found that previous reductions in the Bitcoin miners' rewards triggered peak values by about a third. That is, each halving increased the Bitcoin rate by about 30%. The next cycle is due to end in September 2021. It is expected that it is during this period that we will see the taking of new heights.
However, there are also skeptical experts. They believe that halving will lead to higher prices for bitcoin, but it will be moderate.
As an argument, they cite the fact that Lightcoin (LTC) was growing at an aggressive pace before the August halving of 2019. However, then the coin began to lose ground, and there was no shortage in the market.
