While FilbFilb told his more than 85,800 followers that the estimate is meant for the short term, his reasoning, according to a Bloomberg report, hinges on the upcoming Bitcoin halving scheduled for May of next year. Hsaid e.
Bitcoin halving is expected in March 2024. If history is anything to go by, then you have 18 months absolute max to get your act together before we start doing all sorts of crazy things above all time highs again,
The Bitcoin Network Halving event is sure to be a major catalyst for the digital currency which reached an all-time high (ATH) above $68,000 back in November 2021. That rally at the time came about 18 months after the third Halving event on the network which was in May 2020.
The halving event happens automatically on the chain and it halves the reward for producing a block in the network. The current reward per block is fixed at 6.25 at this time and in the next halving this will be reduced to 3.125. The logic is to reduce the supply by which new Bitcoin will be created to add such scarcity that will help drive the price of the coin upwards.
FilbFilb showed charts of previous halving events that were followed by a massive increase in buying momentum due to rising demand.

This is why we see an increase in price in the period after each halving (on the left in the chart).
