One factor is supply and demand. In theory, less supply and more demand = higher price and vice versa. Next one would be what a commodity/item offers to the public. Bitcoin can be used as an investment or a currency, which makes it as a win-win for the public.

Definitely supply&demand in the popular exchanges. Big media attention to bitcoin => demand goes up, prices go up, so btc value goes up (either temporarily,permanently)

Demand of course is one of the factors. As we can all heard in the news that few countries are open in Bitcoin the demand will increase that's why bitcoins price is above 2000$ now. To sustain the value of the supply, they must have price hike, I'm still learning on trading that's why I can only say few. Research more about it on the web.

I think the main factor that affects the price of Bitcoin is either a panic selling or panic buying. If a trader or bitcoin user finds that bitcoin's price is constantly decreasing for 2 or 3 days in a row then he immediately sells all his holdings with a misconception that there must be something wrong with bitcoin and it is called panic selling. It might be right in case of some new altcoins but since bitcoin has a larger user base and high potential small incidents doesn't affect the existence of the Bitcoin and hence the experienced traders try to buy in such case and then price goes up again to the normal. This creates volatility in the price.

The value will be different from person to person... let's take an example : You are originally from Nigeria, but you are currently working in the USA.

You want to send money home but MoneyGram or Western Union takes say between 10% to 15% of the money for "admin fees". If you send any

amount via Bitcoin, you pay between $2 to $5 and even lower.... What is the value for you? ----> The saving by sending it via Bitcoin.  Grin

Basically it is the supply and demand of the people, but the increase in price is affected by peoples demand and how much they are willing to pay for Bitcoin.  This demand is affected by the speculative thinking of investors which is further affected by technology, usage, and most of all the possible profit in the long run.

If today all the countries started to adopt Bitcoin as their official digital currency for everyone to use, if people favor Bitcoin more than PayPal on the Internet, then BOOM! Buy BTCBTCBTC, Prices goes ⬆⬆⬆. Since BTC is limited, there would be competition as more and more people gets Bitcoin.

It is like sharing Bitcoin with the world, in a way. Bitcoin can be affected by companies who decided to invest and use them to, companies with influence on a major-global scale especially. More Users ➡ More Demand ➡ Prices increase.

Have you noticed recent values of the bitcoin.??.it has created a better place than gold,  many people are becoming astonished at seeing this high level of value, if this rate is going to be increasing at same level then it will be a  massive amount of money....
People believe in returns to scale, if it's high, then people want to be dependent on it..

Bitcoins has limited numbers just 21. b today many people who know about bitcoins and started buy bitcoins
demand and supply of bitcoins is one of many factors that affect the bitcoins value,
the other factors is speculation from the users who want take profit from fluctuation of price bitcoins
usually they are traders with large capital on exchangers.
What if in the future bitcoin developers decide that bitcoin price need to be lowered or that we need some healthy inflation to boost bitcoin usage and increase number of total bitcoins?
We heard already that some scaling solutions proposed before included suggestion that coin limit increase will be a good change to bitcoin.
Bitcoin value is determined by perception and the technology behind it. There is widespread acceptance which will create the network effect.

Bitcoin is an emerging currency that is just penetrating which means new entrants are coming in every day with their resources and speculation thereby forcing the market in a particular direction. Also, the people who have been in the game understand the forces of demand and supply, so they hoard there making the available BTC unable to go round the community which will force the price up. For the fall in price, there are other factors responsible such as news from certain quarters that cause unnecessary dumps.

The factors that affect the bitcoins value is the supply and and demand.
If the demand goes up then the price will go up and if the demand goes down the price will go down Same with the supply.And the exchange rate also affects its value.

Actually the main thing that affects the value of bitcoin is the ease and efficiency in it also. many people use the bitcoin because it depends on a lot of value that is much better than the others. For reserved prices, bitcoin much more has the edge. But keep in mind that, bitcoin has vulnerable time is yet to be ascertained. So we should be able to keep the property well and we don't just stripped on the advantages it brings, but we have to think of the possibility that will happen

Many replies here are also some that I knew that can affect bitcoin's price, though, I think there are still some factors that affect the value of bitcoin, when people invest on bitcoin, they do nothing, which means, they stock their bitcoin into their bitcoin wallets, that bitcoins will not be joining the circulation of bitcoin to people.I can't explain it very well.

That is just one factor, if more and more people adapt bitcoin and would buy and earn it, it will surely add to the community but this is just one factor to include in the vast things on how it affect the value of bitcoin,

With increased usage and wider adoption of Bitcoin, the demand for bitcoins is always increasing. constant supply and increasing demand, and the only factor in the equation that can budge is the price of bitcoin by going up and  Bitcoin price gradually increases over the long-term. and Every bitcoin exchange transaction that involves the purchasing of bitcoin via another currency, whether fiat or Cryptocurrency, has the effect of pushing the bitcoin price up. And Every exchange transaction that involves the selling of bitcoin or exchanging to fiat or Altcoins causes a drop in the price of Bitcoin.
well I just elaborate some simple fact on how bitcoin value changes and the fluctuating sometime happen from the least expected.

generally speaking it is supply and demand that controls price of anything and bitcoin is no exception.

but because price is only determined on the bitcoin exchanges, and bitcoin exchanges are still small compared to real big commodity exchanges or Forex brokers, the price can be affected by how much resistance in both ways exists on the orderbooks.
if there is a huge buy wall price can go up and if there is a whale putting up sell walls price can go down.

but in the long term there is no stopping it.

Value is way more than just the price.

If someone values sending a certain amount of money to another country on a Sunday or holiday, than bitcoin offers that value.
If someone values being in control of their wealth, bitcoin offers that.

People should look beyond price to determine the value of bitcoin. Value is just so much more than just the price.

Just like about anything in the world. Supply and Demand. If more people are buying it price will go up, and more miners there are price will go down. Simple as that.

I don't think having a lot of miners will makethe price go down or dump. Demand can affect the value of bitcoin, the supply of bitcoin is not that big, that is why it is not a factor that affect bitcoin, unless we knew that bitcoin is infinite. I think with the price of bitcoin, many people will be more attracted and will have a high value, more than it has today.
