TL;DR
There’s a concept that the extra curiosity BTC will get post-halving, the extra regulatory scrutiny it will likely be put beneath which might in the end be a net-negative for Bitcoin (and subsequently, the business as an entire).
Full Story
Proper now, everybody’s speaking concerning the BTC halving – and so they need to be, this halving might be the most important occasion in BTC’s historical past after it’s creation.
However we simply learn a narrative that caught our eye.
The premise: the extra curiosity BTC will get post-halving, the extra regulatory scrutiny it will likely be put beneath which might in the end be a net-negative for Bitcoin (and subsequently, the business as an entire).
So the idea goes, as a result of the quantity of recent provide launched into the market might be halved (following the halving occasion), it’ll end in ‘crypto mania.’
The distinction this time in comparison with any halving earlier than it’s that now we’ve got BTC ETFs within the US.
Crypto mania is nice when issues are going effectively, however traditionally what we’ve seen is when issues go up shortly, they normally come down simply as quick (or quicker!).
The job of regulators is to maintain issues in management, to not let the worth of BTC go in both path too shortly.
If this bull run turns into full crypto mania (because it has in earlier bull runs), then regulators could also be pressured into rethinking regulation to regain market stability and defend buyers.
Different areas might also have to be rethought – for instance, BTC makes use of proof-of-work which requires a ton of assets to supply sufficient vitality to validate transactions. So regulation round sustainability could also be on the desk as effectively.
The excellent news is, for now, these are all simply theories and concepts.
And if there’s one factor we all know concerning the crypto markets it’s that what we anticipate to occur, and what truly occurs, don’t at all times align.
Completely satisfied Halving!! 🌗
