Did Strong Bitcoin ETF Demand Kill Halving's Potential Bullish Rally?

- Bitcoin's upcoming halving might not have as much of an impact on the price of bitcoin as seen in previous cycles.

- This is because the spot bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have already pushed bitcoin to new highs as pressure on supply strengthened.

- Nevertheless, the long-term effects on both the price of bitcoin and subsequently flows into the ETFs will be positive.

The amount of energy necessary to successfully hijack the #Bitcoin network is far beyond the reach of any single organization or nation-state. Since the Bitcoin network consensus rules cannot be unilaterally changed, it is most likely that all players will simply adapt to its rules.

This scenario echoes the rise and fall of Bitcoin mining in Kazakhstan post-China's 2021 ban.
