The Second Halving
After Corn experienced the 2013 bull market, it crashed on Dec 2013 - Feb 2014 under the hack of MT. Gox, reaching a lower point of $160.

The second halving saw mining rewards drop from 25 to 12.5 BTC per block. Bitcoin started trading at $647 on July 10th, 2016 the day of the second halving. Short term, Bitcoin experienced a low of $464 in less than a month, only to recover non stop and taking hodlers to the glorious 2017 bull market; where each Bitcoin got sold up to $19,666 on Bitstamp. This would have given a return of almost 3000% if someone bought BTC from the second halving day.

The Third Halving
Set to happen on May 12th, miners will see their rewards cut to 6.25 BTC per block. Many speculators argue that the halving is 'priced in', while some others believe it will ignite the next bull run. Let us know your thoughts on this poll!
