Halving is just a strategy to secure the Bitcoin network through a reward incentive while at the same time Bitcoin is capitalized.

If Bitcoin had been created directly with 21 million there would be no incentive for miners with low Bitcoin capitalization and therefore the network would not be secure.

Halving is not the driver of the Bitcoin price.

I've heard from some people that hash power increases the price of bitcoin. Is that true or false?

False. Demand for Bitcoin does. Some expect total hash to go *down* in the far future, and that’s fine.

Yeah, Max Keiser is the one who's been saying it for quite a while now.

Complete rubbish

Try Pierre Rochard and Saifedean. Think about it some more. https://youtu.be/_sSosh5rtpw?si=OTIpdmojHyKK0o6G

Wait, are you saying that hash power increases the price?

Whoops. No. Misread about Max.

The way I wrote my message didn't help 😁
