Today morning, the cost of the ‘digital gold’ flipped the $7,000 resistance and is presently trading in the $7,100 one. With the 3rd BTC halving to take place on May 12, traders as well as investors keep contending whether the BTC price is going to flood and whether the halving is priced in.
Trader PlanB has shared under which condition the Bitcoin price could certainly skyrocket like never before.
Bitcoin Will Go Up If $400M Remains
PlanB has posted a tweet, saying that $400 million in monthly inflow from financial specialists since 2017 has helped BTC stay at the $7,000 level. After the halving happens, he stated, the amount of cash fundamental for this will be even half as much.
Be that as it may, the trader stated, in the event that $400 million every month stays, at that point the price of BTC will soar.
To maintain $7000 since Oct 2017, #bitcoin must have had about $400M new cash inflow every month last 2.5 years! (30d x 24h x 6blocks x 12.5btc x $7k assuming all trading is zero sum game)
After the halving, we only need $200M per month to keep $7k level. If $400M stays, then 🚀 pic.twitter.com/d6hYJqxIUr

Adam Back, the CEO of Blockstream, responded that there is some measure of vulnerability “waiting to see what happens with the halving.” However, Back is anticipating BTC’s “quantitative hardening,” a term he is using to refer to the forthcoming halving.
“Plus some activity is uncertain ‘waiting to see what happens with the halvening’. and if there is positive movement, the media talks about it and creates a positive reflexivity loop. looking forward to the quantitative hardening event, when bitcoin’s rate of coin supply halves!”
PlanB agreed to it, expressing that there is a fear among the uncertainties. The fear is of miners closing down their rigs and giving in or going into a ‘death spiral,’ as it is likewise called.
Be that as it may, he believes that ‘a couple of difficulty adjustments after the halving will take this risk away.’
Agree, for example the "uncertainty" about miner capitulation and death spiral that some people have. A couple of difficulty adjustments after the halving will take this risk away.

The Contention That “BTC Halving Is Priced In” is Moronic
Prominent BTC supporter and VC investor, Anthony Pompliano, has recently tweeted, condemning the individuals who continue saying that Bitcoin halving is priced in. He called this argument as ‘dumb,’ clarifying that the cost won’t stay at its present level nor drop since the demand for BTC will scarcely diminish to 50%.
The argument of "the Bitcoin halving is priced in" is dumb.
If incoming daily supply drops 50%, then you would need a 50% drop in daily demand as well to keep the same price.
Good luck if your thesis is built on the idea that demand for Bitcoin is going to drop 50%.
