Halving date is getting closer by the day with little expectations from me and perhaps high expectations from others. The recent uptrend in price has altered what history has established regarding every activity that ought to happen before halving, and may also affect the aftermath. Our major concern as holders should be to prepare our minds for the aftermath of halving because it seems the price is somewhat on an uptrend. If the price continues like this, that's great, but if not, then I guess our portfolio might decrease in value.
Regarding the slash in miners' reward, we will see more competition in the mining industry after the halving. Solo miners might consider joining a mining pool in order to reduce the excessive cost of maintenance due to increased competition in the field. Mining in the next four years will become more difficult, leading to limited supply, thereby increasing demand and triggering price hikes.
