Hey all

This has been a question bugging my head for a while now, and with the $3k mark that we recently hit and the drop to $2.5k.

How does BTC gain or lose value? And how does BTC 'pop', like lose 500 USD worth over a day?
It's really simple to understand and the mechanism is same as other places. Let me give you are example as fidget spinners started comin in trend the price of them increased from 2$ to 10$. Here also same rule applies when people are demanding more bitcoin the price is increasing and vice versa

Or sometimes the price could be affected by the price of the dollar also. If dollar is going down also the btc would go up or down and in reverse. But what matters is the most is that btc is a growing investors in any government or even businessmen. I would agree that prices also depends on the buys and consumers but this is just to avoid another clog when people would start selling when the price has risen up. They would tend to lower it again for another time so that buyers can now again invest.

Price moves up when more people want to buy than want to sell (meaning sellers can afford to charge higher prices) and price moves down when sellers outnumber buyers (so buyers can afford to make lower offers).

Well since the start of this topic, the price dropped 200 more USD.

Will it recover back to 2800/3000 USD mark by the end of the weekend?

Supply and demand.

The Barry Silbert segwit agreement may also have had a role. Some people thought for a while that the scaling problem was solved. Now that everybody sees that nothing's fixed, some investors may be disappointed.

If there is a major sell of and if there is no one willing to purchase the coin then it will drop like we saw today after hearing the news about bitmain's plan on how to fork bitcoin and what path they are going to take and if there is uncertainty on what the future holds people will sell off their coins which is quite natural and with bitcoin and alt coin known to have big volatility expect these sort of things.

but how do you explain ethereum price drop ? if they are not related..

People purchase the coin on Bitcoin Exchanges while purchasing the coin from the market price, that is how the price of Bitcoin goes up. When people sell the price of Bitcoin below the market price of Bitcoin within Bitcoin Exchanges then the price of Bitcoin goes down.
You might want to look at the orderbooks on Bitcoinwisdom to see how Bitcoin Exchanges have their numbers.


So more people buy it, it supports bitcoin and rises its value, and if they do the opposite and sell, it devaluates?

Guessing most people can't HODL then...
What? But most people can hodl. That's the correct thing in my mind. Bitcoin has offered the easy way for us to get a return on our investment with just hodl it.
The more buy will give the support to the market buy and if someone has seen a lot of support buy for bitcoin and others will not try to missing the chance to buy it before the pump will be happening.
That likes the buying support give a sentiment impact to the rise of value.

It is when people withdraw their money at the same time especially when it they have lot of money withdrawn. But we hope that thing will not happen because people for sure will panic selling so they will gain their profit into it.
But do not worry because after people dump the value there were lots of investors will come back and buy again because it has low price at that moment.
It is like law of demand and supply. I hope people will analyze that thing.
