Analysts and investors alike have long looked towards Bitcoin\u2019s halving as a potential catalyst that could spark the next massive parabolic rally and usher in a new era of growth for BTC and the aggregated crypto markets.<\/p>\n
It is important to note, however, that one prominent figure within the Bitcoin mining industry is now noting that miners should prepare for the possibility that the halving will not propel BTC\u2019s price higher.<\/p>\n
Jihan Wu, the co-founder and CEO of Bitmain<\/a>, spoke<\/a> about the upcoming Bitcoin halving during a speech at the World Digital Mining Summit in Frankfurt, Germany, in which he explained that he believes now is a good time to invest in crypto mining, while also noting that the current correction that Bitcoin is caught in is \u201cshort-term.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThere are many uncertainties, but now is a good time to invest in crypto mining. If I were a miner, I would not stop mining but continuing to invest in mining equipment. We are currently in a short-term correction of price,\u201d Wu noted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n The correction that Wu is referring to is likely Bitcoin\u2019s recent drop<\/a> below $10,000 that sent its price reeling down to recent lows of $7,800, which is where it has consistently found support over the past couple of weeks.<\/p>\n Moreover, Bitcoin is also trading down significantly from its year-to-date highs of $13,800 that were set in late-June, and it has shown few signs in recent times of gaining any momentum to climb back towards these highs in the foreseeable future.<\/p>\nJihan Wu Claims Halving May Not Spark Massive BTC Uptrend<\/strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
