Will Bitcoin Price Double as Halving Date Looms Closer – Our Countdown Clock is on (now 2 clocks)

(Today 2020) Well, I wrote the following article over a year ago, mid March of 2019, and my numbers were mostly spot on. For the month of April 2019, Bitcoin’s price averaged $4,836.79. Here just 4 days from the halving bitcoin is at $9,433.16 according to Coin Market Cap, and almost exact doubling in price from one year ago despite it’s large dip to the $3,000’s just weeks later in May of 2019.

The top countdown clock counts down to the actual halving at the 210k block late May 11, early May 12th. The bottom clock was my year-out prediction of a price doubling as we approached the halving with a peak price just 3-5 days prior to halving. I’d say it’s right on the money. Now let’s see if my prediction of a slight correction comes as non-Hodlers sell off near $10k and BTC price stagnates for 8 months as it did after the previous halving just before it ran up new bull market highs straight through 2017.

Who’s gonna call me out, correct me or give me that “Atta-Boy, Nelson” down below? shhhh, I predict no one. We have a damned pandemic on or hands and minds. Best of luck and love to you all, friends. These are strange times indeed. – I”m out. – Nelson

Original article of March 2019.

Our Bitcoin halving countdown clock is on and counting backwards to May 7, 2020, the date I predict the price of Bitcoin will be doubled it’s current $4,800 average and just 4-5 days prior to the point when the blockchain will reach the next halving. I predict $BTC will be more than double its year previous price per coin at that point and if similar to the previous halving in 2016 the price will correct by 15%+/- for the following months.

If you’d like to see the countdown clock from respected exchange company, Binance, you may do so here, https://www.binance.vision/halving. Binance predicts the having will occur 3 days later than my prediction on May 10, 2020.

Atlanta Digital Currency Fund’s chief investment officer, Alistair Milne, has said that the block reward halving of Bitcoin could push the price of the dominant cryptocurrency to massive gains in the next 12 months, or any 12 month period leading up to the halving.

Do YOU believe Milne’s claim and basis? If so tell me why, and if not, let’s hear it. Personally, I believe the greatest gains to Bitcoin’s value will come in the 12-24 months AFTER the halvening event. By the way, what this date represents simply is the day the “reward” for mining one full block of Bitcoin on the blockchain will drop from 12 BTC to 6.5 BTC per block which miners get to keep for creating that block. This is how miners create “income” by running their very expensive computers 24-7 and racking up the electricity bills that go along with such “hash power.”

The halving occurs each time Bitcoin’s block height reaches 210,000 blocks, or approximately every 4 years. See the chart below from Binance for an outline of when havings occur and what rewards change to.

According to an article in CCN Friday March 8, 2019 titled, “Bitcoin’s Impending ‘Halving’ Could Spark Meteoric Price Boom,” the impending ‘halving’ could lead to these massive gains.

Bitcoin’s Impending ‘Halving’ Could Spark Meteoric Price Boom

A block reward “halving” in Bitcoin is referred to as the mechanism that decreases the amount of Bitcoin generated by miners after mining a block.

On the Bitcoin network, the blockchain, miners solve complex cryptographic problems using computing power to process transactions, which are then placed in blocks to form a blockchain.

To compensate miners, every block generates a fixed number of Bitcoin to “pay” the miners for serving the community and running the nodes which create the blocks, and this “mine” the cryptocurrency “coin.”

The block reward, or fee to miners, of the Bitcoin network decreases by half for every 210,000 Bitcoin mined. Traditionally, a block reward halving like this has led the price of Bitcoin to rally because it reduces the rate in which new BTC is produced.

As Bitcoin nears its fixed 21 million supply, the scarcity of the digital asset increases, which boosts the price and the demand from the market. Follow the market trend closely with quantum ai.

Historically, the Bitcoin price has tended to move a year before the block reward halving. While a few analysts claim that the halving is already priced in, the numbers show that it gradually gets priced over time, and even accelerates, as the cryptocurrency approaches its halving date. This trend has not gone unnoticed by the cryptocurrency trading experts. Their keen insights into market patterns have highlighted how this phenomenon often triggers a surge in investor interest and activity. By closely monitoring these developments, the cryptocurrency trading experts like immediate connect have managed to stay ahead of the curve, guiding their clients towards profitable investment opportunities in the ever-changing world of digital assets.

The Nelson Wells House, Athens Georgia

“Nelson is an amazing host with many thoughtful touches and great communication. The location is amazing and the house is stylish and comfortable.” – Cherie, June 2020

“Nelson is an impeccable host!” – Sherri, Nov 2019

“Nelson was an amazing host!   He went out of his way to make us feel welcome in his home and everything was just perfect! It’s SO close to downtown, the stadium and so many great restaurants.” – Lea, November 2018

NEW UPDATE 2020:  Our home has just been nominated as one of the first AirBnB *Verified Home* Listings in Athens!  The Nelson Wells House is an ideal modern build in classic cottage style just 3-blocks to downtown Athens, Georgia. I’m Nelson Wells, entertainment industry publicist, and I designed and built this cozy little home just steps to UGA, downtown and the stadium.  16-foot ceilings welcome you to a large open-format living-dining area with all stainless steel, slate fireplace & backsplash, hardwoods, custom cabinetry, and lots of sunlight. It’s a comfy cottage that easily sleeps 6 and 7 or 8 with little ones.  Safety, privacy & discretion are #1 here. 

We are proud and excited to share that our home has been nominated to be a part of “AirBnB Verified” launching this year. (Anyone thinking UGA bulldogs football? – Let’s hope so).  “Safety, Discretion, & Attention to Detail” are all top priority which is what garnered the nomination.  With the current Covid19 situation we’ve worked hard to offer not just a cut above the rest but the absolute best vacation rental Athens has to offer.  We bring in the best cleaning crews who have been thoroughly vetted for professionalism and disinfecting know-how.  We leave our guests with only the best cleaning products for their own use; products like Mrs. Meyers Clean Day in every room as well as disinfectants. And with a background in the entertainment industry with a nod to those seeking privacy, we are host to discerning guests some of whom are members of SAG or worldwide touring acts.

The Nelson Wells House is a Downtown Athens Cottage near the University of Georgia (UGA) in Athens, Georgia. This is our home, and it’s also a vacation rental house designed by me, Nelson Wells, publicist, promoter and co-founder at Team Clermont, indie music PR firm and talent house.  I’m also co-founder of two of the cutest identical twin girls this side of the Mississippi.

Below are the details of our little home we rent out for UGA football games, weddings, and more.  We typically rent directly through AirBnB, however it is possible to rent and contract our home directly through us.

An exquisite home in a quaint “cottage” footprint in Athens, Georgia designed for comfort and efficiency, this 3 bedroom home sleeps 6-7 comfortably and is only blocks from UGA, the University of Georgia bulldogs’ (the “bulldawgs” as they’re known locally) Stanford football stadium and just a 3-minute walk to 4-star and 5-star restaurants, unique bars, pubs, and coffee shops on the western edge of downtown Athens. As you enter the front door, our home welcomes you with 16-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, stainless appliances, and black granite surface tops.  Slate stone surrounds the gas log fireplace and covers the backsplash.

Nelson was an amazing host! He was so pleasant to work with upon securing the house 6 months in advance of our stay. He reached out 2 weeks before arrival asking me about what kind of beverages and coffee we liked. He went out of his way to make us feel welcome in his home and everything was just perfect in the house! It’s SO close to downtown, the stadium and so many great restaurants. We walked everywhere! This is a spot we’ll seek out every time we need a place to stay in Athens!

Thanks, Lea. We were so glad to have you and your family and friends. You all must have been out on the town enjoying the restaurants because our home was immaculate. What a great and easy crew. (I left them some locally brewed beer and they left me some great Savannah-brewed beer!) We will welcome you all back any time. Sincerely, Nelson

Nelson was a gracious host offering his home during the hurricane Florence evacuation. He was quick to reply and easy-going, and though we did not need to stay in Nelson’s home it is obvious that he is a professional and kind host.
