bitcoin prices move down the law of demand and supply .. bitcoin prices soared up and down wildly without you being able to predict. bitcoin always fluctuate .. the price is always changing every time. it's because supplay and deman bitcoin is not stable .. if demand is bigger then bitcoin price will be expensive. so that bitcoin prices continue to rise. but otherwise if supplay is bigger then bitcoin price will go down. and make bitcoin drop. but I think that's why people love to invest bitcoin. they take the opportunity of a fluctuating bitcoin price .. buy at a cheap and sell back when expensive. it is often done to benefit from bitcoin.

It depends mostly on adoption. If its widely adopted, more people will use > more demand. And since its a scarce coin with a market total of 21 million MAXIMUM, the price goes up! If people stop adopting it, price goes down.

Bitcoin prices are determined by demand and supply. As demand for bitcoin increases, prices increase and as demand falls, prices fall. Bitcoin is already circulating in number and new bitcoin is made with predictable and declining rates, which means demand must follow the inflation rate to keep prices stable. Since Bitcoin is still a relatively small market compared to the actual potential it can achieve, it does not require large sums of money to drive up or down market prices, and therefore bitcoin prices are still very volatile.

As you have already said,the increase and decrease in demand for bitcoins determines its value mostly.But,at some times,its price is also determined by other factors like japan legalizing bitcoins which lead to increase in bitcoin price and FUD spread about bitcoins during BU issues and now recently hard fork issues,which leads to decrease in its price.In earlier times,chinese gamblers dominated bitcoin market and they used to dum p their bitcoins to buy cheap bitcoins which caused a fall in bitcoin price.

Basically it's the demand and supply of any commodity or currency which determines its price. The other factors which mentioned above by a few senior members like bad or good news and also other developments which keep taking place from time to time do also affect bitcoin price but here again the demand and supply factor come into action so the only two factors which play an important role in the determination of price of most of the things is demand and supply and that applies to bitcoin prices too.

In my opinion, the price of bitcoin, first of all, is determined by the growth of its recognition by the society, by the number of users of this crypto currency. However, the course is influenced by a number of other factors, including technical factors (such as the upcoming resolution of the August 01 scaling issue), organizational factors, the availability of demand and supply for a particular crypto currency and at a specific moment, and other factors.
Yes it is depended on people as you said that the growth happen with recognition by the people in society. Right as more people invest the value of bitcoin will goes high which is a huge change in our lives. So yes we can say that it is just because of people what if you and I also work on people to tell them about bitcoin that what bitcoin how it is works is then trust me people will come here with a lot of ideas and dreams.

I think you have been right about the price fluctuations in the BTC closely related to supply-demand rules. Of course, as you said, when the demand for btc increases, then the btc price will increase and vice versa. Another small impact on the btc price is that attracting user investment in altcoins will also contribute to reducing the amount of money invested in btc, so btc prices will fall.

Bitcoin price go up or down because bitcoin supply is limited  so we cant buy bitcoins how much we want.Also informations are important in affecting to bitcoin price and also how much is btc solded and bought.

If you take into account that the supply is limited the price should go up all the time.
And you can buy as many bitcoins as you want , but probably you lack the money.
Where did this nonsense come from?


For small time traders, money for investment is a big issue. Because some beginners are having the mind set that they have to buy a whole btc to make it count as an investment. Prices of btc is may be affected by supply and demand but alt coins also rotate around btc, so btc isnt just the coin that could be worth investing.

I agree with you that the forces of demand and supply affect both the upward movement and the downward movement of the price of bitcion. But aside that, factors such as positive news or negative news also can contribute to either downward or upward movement of the price of bitcion.

You just wrote down for lines of text when you could have said it so easily just like everybody else.
Common, it's one stupid answer no matter how many times and in how many long phrases you wrap it.

But I would also add FUD and news about China (now segwit scare) on the list.
The ingredients to spice up the markets.

Hi folks,

As a newbie of this group,  i would just to clarify things with regards to the factors or what are the reasons why bitcoin will increase or vice versa. How can I determine the value of the bitcoin? Is it the prices of cryptocurrencies are driven by the laws of supply and demand—if more people want to buy, prices increase; if more people want to sell, prices decrease. Due to the nascency of and uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrencies (e.g., regarding regulation, technical challenges, enterprise adoption), supply and demand fluctuate wildly and hence, prices become volatile.
thank you for the enlightment!

Most of every thing that relates to the price of bitcoin has already been said but I'll try add to the conversation. Supply and demand is definitely a big aspect of bitcoin and there is no doubt that it affects the price of bitcoin.

Something else that strongly affects the price of bitcoin is social media. When influential people say something about bitcoin, people will be interested in it. Say your daily news recommended you to invest in bitcoin. The price would obviously rise since demand for bitcoin will grow.

of course supply and demand take a part in bitcoin industry. when people want to buy bitcoin, there must be another people want to sell bitcoin. with growing of bitcoin, many people want to buy bitcoin and it cause the price is high, the other time, when some news especially bad news happen in bitcoin, then the price is drop. but this will not stop bitcoin to reach the top price in future, bitcoin will be grow and become famous and now the price is trying to reach new level price.

Bitcoin price is driven by scarcity, utility, supply and demand. Bitcoin is scarce means its supply is limited. There are currently just over 16.2m Bitcoin in circulation and the maximum that will ever exist is capped at 21 million. This set cap is well known, making its scarcity transparent. However, to have value, Bitcoin must also be useful. Bitcoin creates utility in a number of ways ( very well known). Finally the fluctuation in price is determined by the market in which it trades: by means of supply and demand.

You have kinda answered your question by yourself there.

Supply goes up, price goes down. Supply goes down, price goes up. Demand goes up, price goes up. Demand goes down, price goes down. But one thing that has not been mentions was how media attention effectx bitcoin. The more people who know about bitcoin, the more people search for bitcoin on the web and therefore the higher the pice of bitcoin becomes. Also FUD can lower the price of bitcoin.

Supply and demand determines the price of a decentralised currency and in this case, Bitcoin.

As the demand for an item goes up and more people want bitcoin, then people will start selling bitcoin for a higher price, when the bitcoin eventually does sell, the price goes up and people will start selling them for an even higher price.

If the demand for an item goes down, and people aren't able to sell their bitcoin at a desired price, they will start selling low, and then the price would keep falling and the snowball effect will keep the price falling

If the supply for a product diminished, say some strange event killed all the blocks, bitcoin would rise in price, since there wouldn't be that much bitcoin available.

If the supply for a product rose, bitcoin would become cheaper since there would be more bitcoins avaliable.
