Introduction
A recent panel at the Swan Pacific Bitcoin festival discussed whether the Bitcoin halving is truly a bullish event or just another narrative that novice investors buy into. The panel featured industry experts who shared their thoughts on the matter.
The conventional belief
Many in the Bitcoin and cryptocurrency space believe that the Bitcoin supply halving is a bullish phenomenon that leads to a significant increase in BTC price. Previous halving events have coincided with bull markets ramping up.
Questioning long held assertions
While previous performance provides some evidence for what might happen in the next halving, it is important to question long held assertions and price expectations for a high volatility asset like Bitcoin, especially given the number of bearish events in the past two years.
The main driver of Bitcoin price
During the panel discussion, experts debated whether the halving is the main driver of the Bitcoin price. Some argued that liquidity plays a bigger role, while others believed that the halving still has a bullish effect on price.
Halving hype and hopium
Speculation is at the root of all investing, and some experts believe that investors attribute more hope than fact to the forecast impact of the Bitcoin halving. Others see the event as a manifestation of a psychological feedback loop coming into the demand side.
The role of derivatives
Experts also discussed the role of derivatives in Bitcoin's price discovery. While some believe that derivatives play a larger role than spot trading, others argue that the data points we have are not enough to come to any conclusion.
Liquidity as the future price catalyst
Despite discounting the impact of Bitcoin supply halvings on BTC price, each panelist expressed their positive longer-term bullish perspectives for Bitcoin. They agreed that liquidity will be the focal point for future price movement.
Conclusion
While the debate continues, experts remain divided on the extent to which the Bitcoin halving affects price. However, they all seem to agree that liquidity will play a crucial role in determining Bitcoin's future value.
