Bitcoin halving could set up cryptocurrency for long-term gains
Bitcoin's (BTC-USD) halving event is expected to occur over this weekend, either Friday, April 19 or Saturday, April 20. The halving event operates to reduce the number of available bitcoins in circulation once every four years, ultimately controlling inflation within the cryptocurrency. CoinFund Co-Founder and CIO Alex Felix and BitGo Managing Director and Head of the Go Network Matt Ballensweig join Market Domination to discuss bitcoin's long-term price trajectory. Ballensweig considers the halving a "non-event" for the short-term scope of bitcoin, advising traders to "stick to the basics" when managing crypto-adjacent stocks like bitcoin miners. Felix believes bitcoin could ascend to anywhere between $150,000 to $200,000 over the next couple years based on price progressions following past halvings.
