Scarcity Reset or Already Priced In?

[RoseMerry]

The halving just passed, and as always, speculation is flying. Block rewards have dropped, miners are adjusting, and history tells us this usually leads to a major price rally in the months that follow.


But this time… we’ve got institutional money already here, plus derivatives markets that never existed before. So the question is: Has the halving lost its magic? Or is the real action still ahead of us?


What are your personal strategies post-halving? HODL and wait? Or stacking altcoins during the BTC spotlight?

It's always fascinating to see how the halving creates such a buzz every time. The fact that we're dealing with institutional money and derivatives markets now definitely adds a new layer of complexity. I’m curious do you think these new factors might dampen the traditional post-halving rally, or will they just enhance it in unexpected ways? Personally, I’m torn between HODLing and maybe stacking a few altcoins while BTC steals the spotlight. It feels like there’s a lot of potential either way, but I’m excited to see how it plays out!

some interesting points about the halving, especially with the shift in the market dynamics due to institutional money and the growing derivatives markets. While historically, halvings have led to price rallies, it’s definitely a different landscape now. It’ll be fascinating to see if the same patterns hold or if the influence of larger players alters the typical post-halving price action.


Personally, I think a balanced approach could be key HODLing BTC while also diversifying into promising altcoins could offer a good mix of stability and potential upside. Looking forward to seeing how this plays out!

The halving isn’t just about the block reward cut anymore; it’s evolved into a complex event shaped by macro trends, institutional involvement, and layered markets like derivatives. You’re right while the historical patterns still matter, the game has changed.


Your point about institutional money already being in is crucial. It shifts the timeline and scale of potential moves. Personally, I lean toward stacking quality altcoins while BTC dominates the narrative capital tends to rotate once Bitcoin sets the tone. But keeping a strong BTC core is still key.
