Bitcoin is triggering massive hype in the crypto industry these days, and this is especially due to the fact that the halving event is less than a month away.
At the moment of writing this article, BTC is trading in the red, and the coin is priced at $6,915.08.
Bitcoin is expected to see massive price changes following the halving on both the short term and the long term as well.
There are various speculations regarding the price of BTC following this event and also right ahead of it. Miner capitulation has already begun, and this affected BTC’s price already.
The halving event will be reducing the amount of new Bitcoin that’s entering the circulating supply by dropping the mining rewards by 50%.
Not too long ago, we reported that the halving-related searches on Google have exploded.
Tyler Winklevoss and Mark Cuban debate the future of Bitcoin
On Twitter, Tyler Winklevoss and Mark Cuban debated the past and future of Bitcoin a couple of days ago.
Tyler responded to comments that Cuban made during a recent interview on the Pomp Podcast that was hosted by Anthony Pompliano. Cuban criticized BTC for being too hard to understand.
“There are so many peculiarities to Bitcoin: the halving, the mining,” he said.
Winklevoss, one of the owners of crypto exchange Gemini, shot back at the critique and he came with an analogy about basketball.
One was started by a guy named James in a gym with a peach basket and a ball to entertain kids. The other was started by a guy no one can find, that hundreds claim to be, with a computer and an algorithm to give millions something to argue about. Which is simple ? https://t.co/nfVS5A1ebq

Cuban responded by saying that unlike Bitcoin, basketball was created by a well-known founder and it has a really simple purpose.
Cuban said that Bitcoin needs to become friction-free in order to survive.
