Topic: How to value bitcoin and cryptocurrencies? (Read 409 times)

Its also depends on the users demand I mean about the traders demand,  for example if a trader wants to buy more and the buying rate increases in the bitcoin then we can see the prices of the bitcoin has an increase in it. And also we see the rate is high at that time and users see the bitcoin prices has been at a better rate.

Also same in the case with Ethereum,  but I'm not sure about the Bnb prices ,  i think it may have another criteria for getting a rates available.

The most important thing that creates value is demand. If there is no demand for something, it cannot be valuable. At the same time, supply determines the price to a significant extent. The greater the demand, the higher the price. In general, this is how it works, but in the crypto market, as in the economy, the operation may not occur exactly depending on the supply-demand balance. Apart from this process, there are many factors that affect the price. We live in the age of technology and we can learn everything that is happening in the world instantly. Many things such as who the investors in the market are, speculations about the market, advertisements, technology are among the factors that determine the price.

The usage areas of cryptocurrencies are also an important factor for their value. Elements such as projects, teams and plans are also elements that can increase its value.

Yeah and all coz by Supply and Demand  and I see that this is what explain it will thanks for this mate .

same as what happen in Shitcoins , the manipulators buy more and more so the prospected victims will ride the flow and after such time , it will be dumped by selling the big portion and that turns victim into loser.

You have mentioned it completely , so I think there is no way that OP needs to read more if he values your post here.

thanks also .

There are multiple factors at play in assigning value to Bitcoin. Bitcoin's features are to be considered, of course. The process of producing Bitcoin will have be considered as well. It's not just Bitcoin's decentralized system and limited supply that count but also the fact that a coin costs energy and technologies to produce. Another factor is its relevance and alternatives. Are there other options for those who wish to enjoy the benefits provided by Bitcoin? Is there an urge for people to get into Bitcoin? I think these are all factors, among others, in giving value to Bitcoin.

op If you want to make your life successful with Bitcoin, you must keep some things in mind. You have to choose first whether you will invest in Bitcoin or Alert coin. If you invest in Bitcoin then you will take time and more money if you invest then you will get good profit from here at some time. Investing in bitcoins can't be done in too much of a hurry and can't be taken too soon. You have to spend more time checking the market and investing. If you trade like this you will be successful.

As more people become interested in Bitcoin, it increases the demand for Bitcoin in the market and the price tends to go higher. This gradually builds stability and trust in the market. A commodity will be highly valuable if its quantity is fixed. Since Bitcoin 21 million is a fixed number, its value will continue to increase day by day. At some point, the supply and demand of Bitcoin can be fundamentally disrupted, as it is known as a cryptocurrency. The delivery process is stable and it is always changing. Bitcoin's value or supply demand may increase due to various factors, such as market volatility, demand, international growth, financial events, government policies, and the nature of blockchain technology.  Bitcoin facilitates secure, anonymous and independent transactions and keeps personal information safe. After all, Bitcoin is so valuable that today we are writing, reading and learning about it.

Right I agree with your assumption, because on the other hand how can we judge if we have never tried it at all, therefore as you said if we really want to make an assessment then the first step is that we have to try it first, if you want to feel then you have to be involved in the activity, and for the problem of the impact I am sure one day you will be able to judge whether it is in accordance with what you expect or vice versa.

And yes for the bitcoin problem honestly if we want to see or know whether bitcoin will go back up or not one of the ways we can do is to look at the history of its movements in the past few years, maybe 5 years ago there will also be some people who doubt and assume "whether bitcoin will go up or not" and it is proven that now bitcoin is experiencing a much higher increase than a few years ago, that's one assumption that is quite reasonable in my opinion for a beginner who is trying to convince himself in terms of bitcoin accumulation, and as I said above with you looking at previous movements then I think it's easy enough for you to know the potential of bitcoin in the future. And if indeed you already believe enough then you can start, of course for the beginning with a modest budget (small).

The best Way to Value is to buy Everything you can and Wait for the price to grow Because it is very certain that the price will go up and it Will go up but I don't know when , so the best way to Value this is to have it in savings mode because It is Known that this asset is the safest in the world, I prefer to buy bitcoin than to buy gold, because for me the things for the best investment have to be about bitcoin, that is why every time one has money left over but There is something good about buying or better is buying bitcoin, no one will give that Recommendation unless they want you to do well in life , so Every time a friend tells you to buy Bitcoin , then listen to them ,  that Person Does love you.

Valuing Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies is a complex process that involves several key factors:-

Market Demand: The price of cryptocurrencies is heavily influenced by market demand. Factors like adoption, speculation, and overall interest can significantly impact valuation.

Utility and Use Cases: The utility and use cases of a cryptocurrency play a crucial role. A cryptocurrency with a clear and practical use in the real world is likely to have higher value.

Scarcity: Bitcoin's scarcity, with a limited supply of 21 million coins, has a substantial impact on its value. Scarcity can create a sense of value and potential long-term appreciation.

Technology and Security: The underlying technology and security of a cryptocurrency are vital. Strong fundamentals, secure networks, and efficient transactions contribute to higher valuation.

Regulation and Legal Framework: The regulatory environment can affect the valuation of cryptocurrencies. Clarity and acceptance of cryptocurrencies by governments can boost confidence.

Competing Assets: Comparing cryptocurrencies to other assets like gold or traditional currencies can provide insights into their relative value.

Network and Community: A strong and active community can enhance a cryptocurrency's value. It can drive adoption, development, and support.

Market Sentiment: Sentiment in the crypto market can lead to price volatility. Positive news and sentiment can drive prices up, while negative sentiment can lead to declines.

Adoption and Merchant Acceptance: Wider adoption and acceptance by merchants for payments can increase the utility of a cryptocurrency, positively impacting its value.

Technology Upgrades and Forks: Technological advancements, upgrades, and forks can influence a cryptocurrency's value, especially if they improve scalability and security.

Speculation: Speculative trading and investor behavior can lead to price fluctuations. Traders and investors often use technical and sentiment analysis.

Economic Factors: Economic indicators and macroeconomic events can also affect cryptocurrency values, especially when they impact the broader financial markets.

In summary, the valuation of cryptocurrencies involves a combination of fundamental and market-based factors. It's important to conduct thorough research and analysis while considering these factors. Keep in mind that the cryptocurrency market is highly volatile, and prices can change rapidly, so it's crucial to stay informed and exercise caution.

Demand.
Let's say that all factors are there people are optimistic about it and there's actual interest from everyone. If there is no demand, all of the basic factors will also be useless. Because from the demand, the money is flowing and if there's no money flowing as there's no demand, then it shows that there's no interest. But since the money is there the interest, and the demand is there, that's where the other factors are also being built next to it. And that only shows if there's money on these projects and cryptos, they will likely be just homework of a high school student that is good to be saved in the internet but without use case, no monetary and economical value. And the tandem of demand is supply, we have the law of supply and demand and from there, you'll get to understand the economics of everything and even cryptocurrencies or Bitcoin alone.

Each asset's value depends on supply and demand. And value doesn't always depend on price. For example, if you create an altcoin and set a price of $1, if there is no demand for your coin, then there is zero value. When demand goes up, value goes up at the same time. It's not limited to the price. However, currently, market value fully depends on investors. When investors move on a coin, its value and price go up.

Other cryptocurrencies is under bitcoin and bitcoin increase is what attracts the market of others and other cryptocurrencies can not do without bitcoin, so for this, I'm telling you that what you have to do is to make sure you have more of bitcoin than other cryptocurrencies because bitcoin have value and some of the cryptocurrencies is altcoins and they are not valuable and they are not same as bitcoin in terms of volatility, so I will say you should concentrate only in cryptocurrencies more and more than any other cryptocurrencies as I may say

Very good, bro. You have raised a high point. I appreciate you expressing your position on this thread. Bitcoin generally depends on supply and demand. And secondly, according to my theory, the most important point is that, as you said, the split effect of the third party is also there in the price factor. I personally believe that the split effects of the Bitcoin price are on supply and demand.

In justification of this, if we look at the price of Bitcoin, the effect on supply and demand is equal to and even more than that, from fundamental aspects. Due to these fundamental events, the same technical effect has been seen in the price of Bitcoin. And those events are the same as you mentioned: there is war, announcements, halving, etc., which affect the price apart from supply or demand, just like bull runs after halving, and due to accidents like war or COVID, the price of Bitcoin is low. The effect has been seen.

Valuing cryptocurrencies is a multi-faceted process. Several factors come into play:
1.   Scarcity: Consider the limited supply of Bitcoin (21 million coins) as a foundational pillar of its value. Other cryptocurrencies also have their unique supply constraints, influencing their worth.
2.   Utility: Cryptocurrencies serve various purposes, from Bitcoin's role as a store of value, medium of exchange, to powering smart contracts and decentralized applications.
3.   Demand: The interplay of utility, market sentiment, and regulatory factors fuels demand for cryptocurrencies.
4.   Network Effects: A cryptocurrency's value can be influenced by the size and growth of its network. A larger, more active network makes a cryptocurrency more attractive and useful.
5.   Cost of Production: Some cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, require significant resources for production, adding a layer of value due to their high production costs.
6.   Team, Community, and Roadmap: The strength of the team, the support of the community, and a well-defined roadmap are also influential in determining a cryptocurrency's value.
In the ever-evolving cryptocurrency landscape, prices exhibit constant fluctuations. However, a grasp of these factors can offer valuable insights into how to value cryptocurrencies.

In general, we value bitcoins or cryptocurrencies with dollars or other fiat currencies based on supply and demand. Which has already been explained beautifully by many people above. The matter is much like our daily vegetable market, when the production of vegetables is high, the price of the vegetable goes down, but when the production is low and the demand is high, the price of the vegetable or the product goes up. The thing is very much the same here.
However, I think that was not the main purpose of the invention of Bitcoin or cryptocurrency. It created a decentralized economy system where people transact with each other through cryptocurrency transactions. I actually mean that, eg: 1 Bitcoin is worth 1 Bitcoin.

Bitcoin is successful from the past and there occurs no reduction in its success therefore people are aware about its worthiness so they cannot ignore its utilities. Whereas altcoins may loss their value with the passage of time because most of altcoins are just trends based or working on one utility so people cannot believe altcoins as no body wants to get rid of their money. Altcoins like Ethereum are not included.

I will give an example that a person start business and if there is a more buyer of specific item then value will increase day by day with increase of demand and if buyer ignore any items then you will reduce its worth to attract more buyers to get rid if it. Same is with bitcoin and altcoins. Bitcoin has limited supply and large number of buyer which will definitely attract more buyers and high demand will lead to Increase in price.

yup it is calculation of total market value of coin/token

When the circulation supply is fixed, if investors buy more of that coin and sell less, then there will be a shortage of the coin and the price of the coin will rise. In order for the price of a coin to rise, the demand for that coin must exceed then its supply.

When it comes to the value of bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, the simplest form to explain how they derive their prices is, the market decide to the price of each and every coin or token, be it bitcoin, or the alternative coins.

Demand and supply plays the role in determining the price of a coin, like when demand for a coin like bitcoin is very high, and the supply, which is people willing to sell bitcoin is low, the price will always skyrocket, that is, go up, because many people are buying, but the supply is low to serve them all at the same time.

And so does it also work in the reverse, when demand is low, and supply, that is people selling, is high, the price goes down..

So overall, the market is the deciding factor, when it come to how bitcoin and cryptocurrencies prices in general, is determined.

I don't think Bitcoin can really be valued using equations especially that some aspect of it is speculative!

AFAIK, Bitcoin price leans towards what the buyer/seller is willing to pay or offer hence the reason why the laws of supply and demand tend to be applied,it's only that we use centralised exchanges more often these days but with decentralized exchanges the buyer or seller fixes the price..which bases it's price at auction value...

When it comes to Bitcoin, its price is mostly dependent on the buying and selling of it. If people buy more Bitcoin than they sell, then Bitcoin's price will increase and it's the opposite in the other case.

That's how the crypto market works. In addition to that, there are third-party factors that could affect Bitcoin's price, such as wars or significant world announcements related to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, as well as events like the halving as far as I know.
