I watched the previous halvings pretty closely. There's not a lot of places for the hash to go this time, unless there's a hostile fork. The 2016 blocks after the halving will be a tough time, and a time btc could be attacked. But ultimately it will be fine. A whole bunch of equipment will be loss making, but it's the nature of mining that folks have had 4 years to prepare.

It will be interesting to see if there are any attacks in the next epoch. I know of only 1 pool I dont really trust, which has about 3% of the hash. Not hard to guess who. I think most mining remains honest.
