Why bitcoin price decreasing, now the price is $9,346.22 !! what is the causes of this dump ? Also all of alt coin dumped.

It's a normal correction don't worry. It always happens from time to time. Just hold your BTC because eventually it will rise again.

It was inevitable, as always hodl, it will rise again... :)

Sell now and buy 2, 3, 4, 5 times as many coins when its cheaper

I should have dumped last night!!! It was 15300 (Aus $) today I sold at $13900! Ah well profit was made. Hoping the down turn continues so I can buy more back.

This is how trading works. You may have come across the acronym BTFD meaning Buy The F@*%ing Dip. This is the dip you should be buying. On days like yesterday when everyone is cheering new ATH (All Time Highs) you take a little profit so you have something to buy the next dip with. It's a pretty simple business really.

I even see it below $8K but it look likes its again recovering from the dump.  More than 15% so this is some sort of correction that we are seeing. But make no mistake about it, I'm sure that others will jump and buy bitcoins back with this kind of price because we don't want to missed the opportunity to accumulate more and hold on it.

I'm sure that the $10-$11K is too much a mental barrier for most traders not to cash out. Time to make some profits today and time to get back bitcoin at cheap price. I think at the end of the day, we are going to test $10K again and see how will it hold tomorrow. As always, its better to hold bitcoin now rather than just dumping it. Corrections are bound to happened anyways, its up to you how to react on this kind of situation.

You gotta be new here, because everyone knows this is the correction phase. The long-term investors do not even notice these

mini dumps anymore, because they know it will bounce back and give them even higher profits. I have bought at $1200 before

and then the price dropped to $200 to $400 and it stayed there for a year. We held on and the price went up to $10 000 and

we sold some for a massive profit.  ;D

Must be new to the markets. It's a correction. Anytime a stock, forex pair, asset, or crypto has a sharp spike in prices, a correction usually follows.

There is no fundamental news out there to justify the price drop. It is a normal correction that used to happen from time to time that hedge funds and many investors use to buy at these low levels that lead to stabilize the price again. you are going to see several drops of 20 - 30% from time to time. If you can not handle the heat, you should not stay in the kitchen.

Welcome to the world of buy and sell or trading whichever you would prefer where is not always going to raise the price otherwise, nobody is going to buy bitcoin, simple really the law of demand and supply of economics perspective which is why you must calm down for sure by the end of the year the price would play around 10,000-12,000 USD so calm down and invest in bitcoin.

it is dumping because of corrections, bitcoin has increased so high these passed few days that is why they are controlling the market value right now but it will recover, do not panic

It is the usual move of bitcoins dump a little bit then high up fast. At this time the price is dumping a little then it is the time to buy more bitcoins.

It's now $9464 now, but this is normal situation and some people sell for personnel use. Just wait 2 to 4 days and you will realize the dump or pump, but my thoughts only Pump.

A lot of people who ready to buy if the price drops to certain amount.

How is the current price of $9000 a dump? We were only at around $6000 a month ago from now. We just recently peaked at about $11,500 just days ago. A price correction was very expected. Do you really expect a certain cryptocurrency, stock, or asset in general to go up forever?

The question is, will it go cheaper than it's current price? Nothing is guaranteed.

Dumping? It's just going on sale is all. It only does this once a month.  :)

things that could be in the event of a decline. I think you should be prepared with all the risks you can face at any time.
so I thought this was a natural thing, and I still can not be sure and assume. can only monitor and see every movement.

This is how panics start, haha!

This isn't a panic, though, it's a correction.  Jumping 30% in value in a week is a huge gain for any market, it has to correct.  Especially since it crossed a huge threshold of $10k, a lot of people had triggers set up to sell at that price (and minted some new millionaires, I'm sure).

Wait it out, bitcoins bounce.

It's just profit taking. As long as it doesn't go below $7,700, it's good. In fact trading in a range between $8000 and $10,000 would be good because it consolidates that level.

Obviously it's a bit un-nerving for those who bought above $9000, but hold your nerve people. I personally think this has got a way to go before it tops out.

Its normal, you can't call it a dump yet since a month ago it was just around $6000. To be positive, lets call it a bitcoin SALE, it is where you can buy bitcoin at a cheaper price than an hour ago. But if you have bitcoin already, just hold it till it the value rise again so you won't regret it.

Yes and no..... a huge dump results in the crash or dipping of btc price.......... a lesser demand for btc can result in the price dipping.
one way to know for sure why this is happening is to follow a btc demand/supply real time chart. A sudden dip may indicate the dump while a gradual dip may indicate a steady decline in demand of btc..... it will bounce back anyway.

Market sector is the main job. In the trading process, the price increases will decrease. However, it can be hold or can be purchased. Basically, if you look back, Bitcoin has increased this year, rather than decreasing this year.

It'll be back, if you can time it right you can pick up a bit extra on the way back up but this can be tricky, not quite perfected this yet, also some altcoins might be at the right level to scoop up.

You say this as if this is the first time Bitcoin's price decreases. Bitcoin is volatile and seeing it decreases that much is very much common. After achieving its peak price, it is normal to see some cashing out to withdraw their profits. Some just sell in order to buy in some more when the dump comes [just like what's happening now]. Volatility is a nature of cryptocurrency, you just have to get use to it.

Well the prices are basically controlled by the market and its influencers which are the big players of the Bitcoin Market, right now they see the price above 10,000$ level as an opportunity to create a profit taking for themselves, with the big quantity of Bitcoin they have and how it will create a ripple effect on other sellers it will inevitably make the price of Bitcoin decrease. Also the profit taking will be the one to start a panic selling in the market. It is one of the biggest disadvantage of being a decentralized currency (as a consumer).

It's just how the market works.
It goes up, everybody happy
It goes down, everybody in panick mode

Relax, get a beer and wait untill the bull returns

don't worry!! It's a low of Cryptocurrncy.
The price of cryptocurrency always down as well as up.
Now it's time to dumping after few time it also pumping.
So, keep waiting!

This just a normal scenario in bitcoin world the price correction will occur after a price bump but the price will recover soon in some days.So don't lose your hope and sell your bitcoins just grab your bitcoins tightly for richer future.
Yeah ethereum price also decreased but the price of these coins will increase soon maybe this is happening due to month end. ;D

This will probably only last a few days and it will bounce back. If you remember when it breached $9000 before that there was a slump down to somewhere around $5000 very briefly...

Nothing to stress about  :)

no need to panic. it is common in crypto
ups and downs in stocks are common, you should know that. currently bitcoin still tend to normal. maybe you can buy it or sell it. it's all about your speculation and understanding.

Before I use to worry whenever I saw the bitcoin price drop a and I admitted there comes a time that I do the panic selling mode and I regret that, this pump and dump is what makes bitcoin a top crypto currency today and yes it is very volatile but we must not worry and enjoy the opportunity whenever the value drops because for sure after some quite time it will recover and can even give a much higher price. Just enjoy the pump and dump  ;)

This is normal and healthy, if you start climbing without stopping, when you fall it can be very ugly.

welcome to bitcoin! This is what we call a small correction. IMO, it's not a dump till say 35%. It has happened many times and hopefully it will happen many more. I hope everyone else got their buys in, there's sick value to be made right now.

Buy when there is blood in the market, sell when there is hype. Simple, but works.

Bitcoin becomes too expensive to mass it can buy people. This means that bitcoin will attract only the rich. You do not see this danger? We constantly see the joyous cries of those who have accumulated some bitcoin. They rejoice that, without hard earned money on the appreciation. But they don't think about the consequences.

Yes, bitcoin have demonstrated in the past that if its value has drop, the next thing that it going to happen is that the price will rebound and can achieve even greater price as its previous all-time-high, so all of us should not be disappointed to see the price going down.

On the contrary, this is really a good buying opportunity. I learned this the hard way when I was just starting. I will panic sell and push the button whenever I see the price dipping. And soon I realized that I'm making the wrong move. I should be buying in this dip instead of selling. I guess all of us experience this kind of anguish and apprehension before.

And it you look at the market right now, its not only bitcoin who is bleeding, but the rest of altcoin as well. So maybe there is some serious corrections that we are going to see in the next few days. Just hold and don't sell. There's is no point of dumping today.

Yesterday one of the whales decided to take profits and sold bitcoins for a very large sum! And the price went down. It is a pity that altcoins too followed him, after all, only a little started to grow before that

It's looks like a normal correction. It had to happen after high ups. Investors make profits. No reason to worry for now.

The golden rule - buy low, sell high; everyone knows it and it is so simple to follow.
BTC is still to breach another ath; I doubt it will ever ever go below 5k again; maybe a temp dip and around Christmas it will raise for sure again.

Nothing new.This is very usual in case of bitcoin.Right now bitcoin price is going down because whales are taking their profits and also week hands are panic selling bitcoins ;D. Correction is also taking place since bitcoin price rise very fast in short period of time.All these factors are affecting dumping of bitcoin.Nothing to worry about because bitcoin price will rise again once the correction is over and whales start buying again :D

If you increase the volatility, then you increase the trading spread, and thus the profits for the exchanges.

It is called profit taking. Happens when people cash out profits.

Yes, this is a correction phase. So, stay calm and hold your bitcoin on hand, more good news to come by december.

It is just a correction not a dump. It is normal in trading, either you see the price up or down. Relax and sit back a few days, BTC will be back.

I believe most of us expected this correction. 1000$ in 24h is not healthy, so i'm glad to see the correction. Excited to see how far the correction will go, and how long it will last.

I don’t mean to be flippant in my response, because you have an important question. But this is a normal part of ho-hum daily semi monthly quarterly, up and down, a correction just sit back and relax.

As normal as dumping is, its still frightening like hell

Why do people create threads like this like it's some unusual rare phenomenon? Everyone knew there would be a dump at some point and it will always be that way.

Its not smart to try and call tops on bitcoin. Unless you are VERY experienced it is just too risky. HODL

They probably bought in at 11k and are freaking out because they are losing money. There is so many new people to crypto and they invested before they knew much of anything about crypto or just trading in general.

Of course I could sell in at 11k then buy back at 9k. But I just prefer to hold, will do only if I make 30% profit. And yes, it is just correction. I'm afraid to invest more money before buying hardware wallet. Screw this electrum and other crap. Don't trust more than couple grand to store there. Cannot believe somebody will keep like 10 BTC on it! It just too cheap and stupid move.

You can’t call this dumping. With the price rising at $1000 per day, a correction is prefectly fine. This is normal in trading.

I also think it is quite normal. Everybody now gets out a bit profit even if you cash out now! That's crazy 😬 Bitcoin rised so freaking fast and alot of people are crying haha but that fact is a month ago nobody of you believed to reach 10k this fast. And this was just too fast :D
Bitcoin will fall now, till about 8k and then it will rise and maybe even reach 15k by end of this year if it gets again this much tempo :) so just be patience and buy now... It is a good time now

It happened pretty quickly which was annoying, a correction was expected and is normal behaviour but it happened before I got the chance to get home and sell my coins! I was hoping to be able to buy back in and get myself a nice little extra chunk of bitcoin  ;D

It is very common that after a very high increase is followed by a deep correction, let alone the end of bitcoin event this year, most investors will withdraw their money into real currency. Once all is stable then the bitcoin price will increase again along with the increasing market demand for it.

Well, so far it's a 20% drop. We've seen 30-40% drops 4 times this year.
We may see another down leg. So another +30% correction still possible.
However I assume it's mostly profit taking. As soon as the NASDAQ news got released the price declined immediately. Probably some insiders did one last push to $11k and then decided to go for profits. Typical Wall Street behaviour.
Nothing to be worried about right now imo.

I think it is also a result of the people who do dump very low for altcoin other. or maybe because the number of issues negative about bitcoin.

Perhaps it will takes a dumps for a moment. Then surpass again and a make new correction like what happened before this is normal i think. I suggest  to relax guys dont eagerly sell maybe it will gain some strength to jump again and make a new record. Just hold back and drink some wine. Lol Because this scenario always occur so much better to wait instead of making some doubts and sell your coins right away.

If you look at the history there have been many corrections; usually they happen in cycles of ~60 days, with a smaller (but still significant) correction afterwards.

Soon enough we'll look back at this as just another small notch in the graph!

This is only correction. it can fall into 8500 i thinke, then can be growth more than 11000$

History repeats itsself.. Its natural that after all this bull run we deserve a correction. People just need to calm down..

I'm sure many will sell now and for many it will be good profit. Whether they are going to regret it is another story. For other people this could present a good opportunity to buy before it starts increasing again.

well said, it's a normal thing that price may rise and fall from time to time. it's surely an investment feature, and potential investors must be mindful of it occurrence.

I saw this morning a lot of sell-off on bitstamp, with sell orders BTC 150+
Seems some big fishes and institutional money took some profits.
It's natural behaviour on every liquid market, profit taking after some huge gains.
I see situation stabilization at Bitstamp at around 9700 and BTC is back in bullish mode.  :)

we can not have all pumpings without any dumping

I haven't seen you asking this question when price literary jumped to 11000$, so why is this surprising you so much?
People buy and people sell. Price go up and price go down. What else?

That is the problem with people when the price goes down for more than a thousand they will panic and say that there is a dump happening, they don't realize how fast the bitcoin reach that amount. Trading stocks are gaining an average of 12%-30% per YEAR and bitcoin gained more than 900% in less than a year so how can we say that the price is already dumping where in fact it never went back to it's price a year ago.

Most people are seeing bitcoin just as an investment and whenever the price is going down instead of hodling the coins and wait until the price recovers they would rather sell it to cut their losses, because of this practice bitcoin's price is getting too unstable. Just trust Bitcoin and see what will happen.

Call it whatever name you can find and those who are already in Bitcoin for a long time would just be smiling. I am intrigued why there are still those who have not researched the ups and downs history of Bitcoin...there were times when Bitcoin made big crashes and yet it eventually recovered and grew. This is just a normal occurrence for Bitcoin...and corrections are also serving like a buffer zone so it can avoid popping. In other words, we should expect some dips much more after a very good bull run. If people can get tired and need to do some retreats, then so does Bitcoin. Let's give our beloved coin some time to gather much-needed energy and stamina for another big bull run going into the $15,000 mark if not this year then in 2018. Soon there would be some good news that can help prop the coin back into the action. Just relax, sip coffee and don't worry about the dip.

LOL. This drama has been played for hundreds times :)) Don't worry about it, there is always a dump after a big pump but the price of Bitcoin always rise back so you just need to hold your Bitcoin or buy some more if you want then wait until the price rise back to over 11k$ :))

The cause is people taking profit and realizing how quickly bitcoin had shot up in a matter of weeks. Did you really expect it to go to 15k before it went under 10k? Common sense folks tells us markets must go down before going back up.

Bitcoin price dropped indeed, but it is not a massive dump! Bitcoin is already up @9600...
It was to expected after reaching the 10000 and 11000$ mark that a drop would happen.

i think no one know the real reason for the falling value of bitcoin , But I think that with a lot of conversions, the currency of bitcoin is falling sometimes :)

Any cryptocurrency's fate after such a huge increase in volume and remarkable growth over a very short period of time , is a little decrease or as what the technical term is " a dump " . Pumping, dumping and stability are parameters that are relative and are mainly controlled by huge investor that hold massive amounts of bitcoin and got the power to manipulate it's value .
Such thing can't be done by a single investor no matter how much funds he's holding , it needs to be a whole group of investors to get this task done , and whenever they decide to pump a certain coin , they manage to make that coin break records and get it's name known to all the community in such way that every body will start investing in it , once they want to dump it after reaching a certain goal, they start selling their shares making it more available on the market and thus decreasing it's value .

It is a normal thing for the price to decrease when there is a sudden hike for every rise there is a fall.Here in the case of btc aswell.People normally tend to sell of their coins when they find it more profitable and so it is normal for the price to go down when all try to sell off their coins in the same time.It is normal tendency for all the investors to withdraw from it when they find it profitable as they fear that the price might go down.

It seems to be sitting where it was sitting a few days ago while trying to break $10,000. So, this looks normal to me. Couple that with the usual correction that happens and it actually looks really good.

Keep in mind that it was under attack by BCH not too long ago and recovered just fine and smashed through ATHs after that. That was a well orchestrated attack. This is profit taking and correction. There's been many times that a blood bath like this happens across crypto. It can be startling to watch unless you're looking at it as a buying opportunity.

It seems to do that after the dips-comes roaring back.

Believe me brother that is just normal drop in the price and its not at all dumping. The dumping would be called as bitcoin hoping all the way down to 7-8K and that will change the market. drastically. But I don't think that bitcoin is going down that much and its not because the market capitalism that has been corrected recently will not allow it to go down that much. The more the market cap the more is the secure coin at that specific point, always remember this. So of bitcoin the market is over 250Bn and do you really think that it will cause it any problem holding the price of 9k or 10k? I don't thin so.

Plus the bitcoin futures is coming in hot soon which is another good news and when the world know about it then they will start investing money again and thus will push the bitcoin economy again towards the higher course. 

Well, in that cash of dumps for a moment it was just a normal scenario like what we've encountered from the past months or the price started to rise until $9000 to $1000. But right now it showed that the price also started to decrease its current value but more investors still waited for sudden drop in order to invest their current fiat cash, more will be buying an asset and hold because seemingly there's more than $10000 to go. Hopefully the speculations of until $20000 might be a reality for us.

It is normal for correction to happen once a new high is made by any coins. It happens all always. There is also a profit taking by people that are in profit already. This is liquidity, it is the essence of trading.

Don't panic....will be 100,000$+ by 2020

Dont believe about the correction thing. That is just one escape from their misery.
There is no such thing as correction.
Either people are buying or people are selling. That is called demands and that is all that matters with bitcoin.
Corrections are for those people who are imagining things

If you believe in bitcoin dont doubt it. This people who have been holding just wants to take the profit and they are doing it now.
Next time there will be another price increase because of this drop of price they will buy now.

Don't worry, bitcoin price always time fluctuation because it's a online currency. When bitcoin price will decrease you just hold your bitcoin. I hope that next week bitcoin price will be 10k+ and it not back to 9k.

Isn’t that’s a good news? I was actually looking for the opportunity like this as I really missed buying the bitcoin at lower rates. I know that this price wouldn’t go below this point but I wish really that it should go way downward and thus I make the most of the purchasing at that point. I know this won’t happen just like that but I will wish that it really does go even further down. The upward movement is obviously going to happen but to increase the margin of profits I would love to have it bought at little lower than the current price. So it’s not panic time at all. It all depends on how you manage things in the crypto world.

10% dip after a 75% rise, is not a dump.

Maybe symptoms of one to come tho.

No reason to panic, this is not a dump. If you look at the price in the previous couple of days you can see that it's been very turbulent period. Price has jumped up over 11000$ and then got back under 10000$. But it's changing quickly and doesn't stay low for long so I definetely wouldn't call this a dump period. The market just probably reacts on current supply and demand relations, I guess.

This correction was predictable. Bitcoin and major altcoins always experiment correction when The price reach a major psychological step. (e.G: 5000, 8000, 10000 $). just hold the price will rise pretty soon

I wouldn't say, this is a BTC dump, as it just went to the BTC price as it was just a week ago. This shouldn't be surprising after the $10 to $11k rally in the last few days. The questions is now, how will the price move from here? Will it drop further, recover once again hitting the $10k milestone or will it drop first, before (hopefully) moving higher. Migh guess is the latter, but let's see, what awaits us in December.

100,000$ for sure

Maybe this is just a normal scenario i guess from an extremely increase of price and now it's taking its turn to be down again.Maybe bitcoin's supply and demand have been quite affected and so this happens now.But i'm also sure this won't take so long,it will recover its price again after few hours and we will continue to be gaining profit again.

I think it's not a matter for cryptocurrency. always do pump and dump. now BTC prise is $10,149.40 USD, so it's a simple issue. I think it is the correction phase or updating.

lol yeah. were on the same boat and i always disagree when people balantly accusing bitcoin about correction blah blah blah... i dont believe in these corretion thing because i think its all about the supply and demand that is trully affecting the bitcoins current value. bitcoin dumping is pretty normal and theres nothing to worry about it , infact it can also have a good effect to us because we were givin an oppurtunity to buy or purchase bitcoin in a lesser cost.

Correct that is given the fluctuation of bitcoin value or even other crypto currency, we do not have to worry if bitcoin decreases its value because every time dump happens it always recovers it value and it makes us happy every time pump will happens.

Dont worry about this drop , it is normally happen. Just be more focused and patient on trading. I believe it increases again in the future lets just wait all together.

Yes it is,  that Bitcoin price has decreased lower than $10K but in a positive way it is just giving way maybe to those who wants to buy bitcoin for a lower price. But pretty sure that it will rise again sooner and can recover in future days.

ofc it will dump but it will rise again soon because some of the holder already gain profit so they will sell it... but im preety sure price will rise again

It was nothing to worry. Ive have my worries first last September when bitcoin has become less than $4k and thought it might be the end of bitcoin. But after bitcoin recovered and became stronger, my faith became stronger. This is temporary, it will rise back up again.

It's normal and it always happen after Bitcoin reach to the new peak :)) The whales always try to sell their Bitcoin at the highest price as they can then they try to use the huge amount of Bitcoin they have to dump the price of Bitcoin then they buy it back when the price decrease a lot. If you're using Coinbase web wallet maybe you know what happened to Coinbase at that time :)). Right at the moment when Bitcoin price dumped, Coinbase maintained their website just to prevent Coinbase member could be able to sell or buy Bitcoin at that time and when the maintainance finished, the price of Bitcoin had been dumped to the lowest price at that time :))

The rise in the momentum is bound to have a callback, and the trading volume of bitcoin has not been reduced after the callback, and the rising kinetic energy of the bitcoin is still in it :)~ :)

it's because the volume and spreadingnya decreased. I think that's a normal thing, and I believe that bitcoin always surprise the owner. and that's for sure. then we owners should be able to take advantage of opportunities. observe continued bitcoin during dump and pump.

The price seems to be risin again, hope it hits 11k soon.

I think the current decline in Bitcoin prices is a natural thing, there is an increase there must be a decline. this decline is an excellent momentum to buy as much as Bitcoin at a low price.

Well, I do think this is a kind of trend which is kinda normal when the digital coin market appear to be really healthy, stable and everything is gaining very well. After a day or two, BTC's and other Alts suddenly increase the price for no reason at all, without updates, news etc. Traders often called this activity, Whaling. Then you will see a lot of people jumping in (buying), as they want to ride the wave of this sudden increase. Once the coin hit or approaches the target mark, everyone will suspect that it will pretty soon crash, you will see a lot of news or trending stores regarding the incoming price crash. Once those stories causes fear, a crash will totally happen. People will start selling (traders often called this activity Dumping) their stored or hold coins as they fear of the expect decrease of its market price value.

It is not dumping, it is what you called volatility of its price, and it is just normal, but I know that there are so many people who sold their bitcoin because they have panicked when its price have fallen a little bit, but right now, it is back to normal and hoping to reach $13K before this years end.

its not dumping. the price is withing 9-10k range. and will rise again within this month!

Fixing profits.
After breaking through psychologically important marks, a kind of unattainable figures, they begin to save profits, fearing that there will be a rollback. Mass sell, there is a correction.

buy now in low price, you will get more profit after price raises again. price will raises within this month

It's a correction men. Correction is most important.after this dump btc will set new all time high again. And this time goes to 13k$.

Sure it will just Arise and Hype.This is the perfect time for all the Investors and Developers to buy more bitcoin as its just in its low price now..And Surely in this month it will be a BIg Explosion ..Bitcoin to the moon for sure this month ..So mark it in your calendars

You can not call it dump,it is a normal think remember it is a volatile currency but this dose not mean it will not appreciate again.

there was only a small dump by some whales that wanted to sell but it is just a small correction, all other corrections this year were much bigger with 30-50% decrease.
We can't speak of that yet but it looks like 10k will be a save spot for upcoming crashes

Bitcoin dumping is only happening temporarily just like with stock market- highs and lows will happen and are to be expected.

basically this is just a correction of bitcoin's price because it surge so high it need to correct at some levels to regain its healthy growth then it may increase its price again, at some point we can view this as selling point of those who buy at low price they sell and wait for the price to get low again and buy..

After the last correction, the price of bitcoin is rising again. Now, if it increases to a psychological level of $ 11,000 then further large increases are very possible.

This is not a dump, i'm not sure if bitcoin will ever dip again because there are massive amounts of new investors pouring into the community everyday. For those that sold there bitcoin it's too bad, you day traders should have held it. Now you will just have to buy it back at a higher price because it will be 100,000 USD in a years time. Demand is outstripping supply and like any product it's only going to increase, the times of huge dips and correlations are a thing of the past.

I agree with that logic since there is a lot of coins that were purchased recently. There is only a few coins left for people to sell.

They create such FUD's to cause panic and spark panic selling of bitcoins by  the newbies and other fainthearted guys out there who will want to appear wise at the end of the day and so they will quickly sell all their bitcoins wheneverf it takes a tumble and i guess they are the losers in the long run.

Bitcoin market is always fluctuate.Someting bitcoin is pumping and sometime dumping.So don't feel worry for this matter.If  you have more money then You can trade if you want with bitcoin. :D :D

This is normal behavior on the stock exchanges. Every market is fluctuate no matter what. Now bitcoin grows again. It's important not to panic. ;)

Yes, It is very common for bitcoin now to increase and decrease in value. It is the nature of bitcoin that it keeps fluctuating and it is just because of unstable prices of bitcoin that we keep earning profit from bitcoin. Buying bitcoin during dumps and cashing out it in pumps is the sole source of earning profit with digital currencies for most of the bitcoin investors. The stability of bitcoin prices will weaken its market internationally.

John MCAfee, 5 months ago from his Twitter account: "Bitcoin, 500 thousand dollars ... will not eat the penisimizi" he said, and Bitcoin history had probably the most ambitious price estimate.
Now for the year 2020 Bitcoin updated the price estimate and said it would be $ 1,000,000 tweet as follows
When I said Bitcoin would be $ 500,000 in 2020, I predicted $ 5,000 for the end of 2017. BTC has risen faster than I thought. I do not understand why he works like a pumper...

Supply and demand on orders, people buying and selling, holders dumping.

Due to the unusual pump the price of bitcoin corrected itself after few hours, i think they call it exchange correction were if unusual pump happens people tend to sell their coins immediately until they notice the price drop way too much and that's the time the right price will shown.

I think you shouldn't worry about it. It's the thing always happen after a big pump in Bitcoin price. For now Bitcoin price is increasing very quickly, It's more than 12k$ right now :)

If you want to hodl your bitcoin the price continued to dump think about that. You need to convert to increase a little bit the price to avoid the dump of bitcoin.

Bitcoin cannot really be dumped there are too many whales inside. To cause a large drop it will require a lot of whales to dump together which is near impossible. Furthermore, alot of businesses and investors park their monies inside which till date is one of the best investments in the market. With all these, even if bitcoin price drops for a moment, it will still rise back up and even higher.

When I reply this post then bitcoin price will pumping.It's very amazing increasing.Because bitoin already crossed $13k :o :o
Since bitcoin market always fluctuated. So No worry for about this matter   ;D ;D

Only six days passed since the time, when Bitcoin had a fall, and now it has jumped over the 16 thousand barrier. It reminds me some crazy race — faster and faster. There is a fear that the runner can fall again soon, and some investors will lose their money.

Don't be afraid to take profit. You haven't made or lost till u sell

Well the bitcoin price is too big guys and investors are starting to run away from bitcoin. The price is just too big for anyone to trust it like before.

Bitcoin dumping is commonplace and not new when bitcoin markets are at saturation point as price correction and will form new highs.

That's just natural phenomenon that will occured in this trading term of cryptocurrencies. There's the time when people need/ already satisfied with the profit they earned. And there's the time newcomer will buy the coin itself. It will back rises. And from time that you post this topic and right now. Bitcoin already surpasses its all time high  :) #CMIIW

Ya and I can’t even sell because GDAX is down

Never mind. It’s back. Servers must be overloaded.

yea , servers are overloaded indeed. I hope that everyone can get out untill the crash is coming. Maybe it can go up to 19k but I doubt it to be honest.

Yes the current price is $15,370.02 and that's so much impressive.I think dumping is just a part of the movement of bitcoin and that's normal.But i guess with this time around,no dumping of bitcoin will appear until the end of this month.

indeed the price of bitcoin is really very low ............. hahah

today is the highest price of btc ever, isn it?
and that would be corrected or going higher?

I have heard people who are talking now about bitcoin as this is scam, prices are going high and this make everything vague and scam. But story is totally opposite, bitcoin has made this crista happened now. Bitcoin price are going so much high that investors are coming and some are leaving it as this may affect their business and investments. Things are not that much different, it just happens.

For sure a lot of people are using bitcoin and they are spreading different news about bitcoin according to their good and bad experience with bitcoin, if a user earn profit definitely talk in the favor of bitcoin but if a person will suffer lose he will spread it as scam and freed. It is all about the experience so as much as I know bitcoin is again pumping high and demand of bitcoin is at the peak these days.

It's a natural thing, do not be tempted to sell your bitcoin at a low price. Keep hold of bitcoin for as long as possible.

Well pretty agree with it, I mean, come on, compared to the last year price, it's significantly increasing for above few hundreds percent and people are still complaining that it's too low.
Either they're buying on really high price or they just get blinded by the fact that bitcoin is increasing so much and easily affected by the "little" red percentage of dumping.

Do not panic if bitcoin is dumping because it is a good thing for us because we can now have a lot of opportunity to get into bitcoin because the price of bitcoin will dump and the price will be cheaper than before and that is how we are going to make an entry and we should hold those bought bitcoin at dump price to be safe.

Obviously the price has increased to a level that is not able to be achieved by most of the investors and hence all know that the next thing that is going to be happened is a dumping phase indeed. Many of the observations are being made regarding the next value of bitcoins and in my view point, it would touch somewhere near dollar 19k on the scale .But all we can guess is nothing in actual because everything is unexpected in this world of digital currencies.

it is time to buy bitcoin but ıt can be going down little bit :)

Maybe he is a visionary. In a year the current price might seem low.  :D

Not dumping :) Poor people who sold at $13,000 :D O well, shit happens.

Well, I do think this is a kind of trend which is kinda normal when the digital coin market appear to be really healthy, stable and everything is gaining very well. After a day or two, BTC's and other Alts suddenly increase the price for no reason at all, without updates, news etc. Traders often called this activity, Whaling. Then you will see a lot of people jumping in (buying), as they want to ride the wave of this sudden increase. Once the coin hit or approaches the target mark, everyone will suspect that it will pretty soon crash, you will see a lot of news or trending stores regarding the incoming price crash. Once those stories causes fear, a crash will totally happen. People will start selling (traders often called this activity Dumping) their stored or hold coins as they fear of the expect decrease of its market price value.

yes right now bitcoin prices have started to stabilize is very suitable for restock bitcoin or altcoin restocks as investors on the pursuit of the target on altcoin to offset the price of bitcoin.

most likely until the beginning of the year bitcoin investors continue PUMP to $ 20,000 again not to miss the event yes guys.

restock the bitcoin from now and congratulations to the hold altcoin fitting low time yesterday because altcoin is currently all being green or rising

Yes, I think we gotta wait until next year for another good pump which can bring Bitcoin price over 20k. Now, maybe because of Christmas many people are selling to realize their profits.

It was just crazy buyers of BCH. Coinbace have added BCH to their listing and people lost their minds.  ??? On the GDAX price of BCH riched 9500$  ??? ??? ???
Now bidding Bitcoin Cash stopped after adding to Coinbase and an unusual price increase.

I think the current decline in Bitcoin prices is a natural thing, there is an increase there must be a decline. this decline is an excellent momentum to buy as much as Bitcoin at a low price.

Hi there skba! Could you indicate what is the specific altcoin you are referring. I agree with you that the price of bitcoin is falling down, and the reason behind is the opening of the CME future contracts. The same scenario happen two week ago when the CBOE open the same bitcoin future contracts. One probable cost is that some investor prefer to dump their bitcoin and prefer to buy a much secure contract from the said company. However, this negates the price of the alt coins, most of the famous altcoins like Ethereum, Ripple and Litecoin surges prices after the said events.  ;)

In Stock, Bonds or even in Bitcoin, the changes of price is unpredictable. It is normal for price to decrease because people sometimes changes their plans and priorities in trading Bitcoin. That is sure to happen that from time to time the price will go down and up but if you will notice the trend of Bitcoin graph is still bullish from early this year until now and this will continue until next year 2018. Don't be discourage when the price is decreasing but instead take it as opportunity to buy additional Bitcoin and hold until it comes back to its highest price again. Bitcoin really performs well this 2017 so I am looking forward for 2018. You better to buy now and you will see how much income you will earn in the future.

I applaud your positive outlook toward Bitcoin. But just like any other stock, it's really not advisable to buy while the price is still headed down.

Absolutely, no matter how much you trust in Bitcoin or any stock for that matter, we still trade wisely and never catch a falling hot knife or it will cut and burn you like butter.

It will increase again.   

A healthy consolidation period was expected after this bull run.

don't worry. It always happens from time to time. keep calm dont be panic when the price correction start make sure to average your investment and ready to buy it . Btc have a huge prospect in 2018 just hold it

Also use caution, I'm a stock guy myself and I always need to remind myself not to use the guidance as used on stocks. Bitcoin is a different animal, the valuation is hit or miss. So much of btc value is controlled by people confidence it will go up. I beleive in btc as one of the great financial inventions of our time but saying no doubt it will go up again really means nothing, it's just people putting expectations on an inanimate object

Dumping price of bitcoin is normal. It is just correction before it will pump, it is really traditional, it happens most of the time. Because bitcoin is so volatile, it is normal to dump or pump anytime. Just be ready.

I think it's natural, because seeing the price that goes up without any drop in drasti, that's what keeps the bitcoin price down quickly. too many bitcoin forks that make prices go up quickly and out of control, but when everyone sells their bitcoin, the price will go down quickly and I think that's fair. there is also an opportunity for us to buy another bitcoin before the price will rise again.

Why don't you ask here when the bitcoin price is increasing. See every time it is not possible to increase the price of bitcoin, it completely depends upon the market and demand for bitcoin.

I agree with you because it is a common thing and always happens at the end of the year, let's see bitcoin will again build its glory slowly in 2018

Bitcoin Dumping is best time to buy more and keep holding. Dec make bitcoin break 20,000$ and back it less than 12,000$ you can be rich with this high ranges. just more holding  ;) ;)
if you can take risks investing will give you more money, you can buy at 8000 and sell it after 2 moths with more than 14000 then back to buy it again when the price back to dwon at 7000 and so on
within less than 1 year will make more than 300% profits

Would you be able to show what is the particular altcoin you are alluding. I concur with you that the cost of bitcoin is tumbling down, and the purpose for is the opening of the CME future contracts. A similar situation last year prior when the CBOE open the same bitcoin future contracts. One plausible cost is that some financial specialist like to dump their bitcoin and want to purchase a much secure contract from the said organization. Nonetheless, this refutes the cost of the alt coins.

Bitcoin really unpredictable and it is really unstable therefore expect increase and decrease of bitcoin price. I don't really know why bitcoin is dumping well in fact after decreasing it rise again and dump again. So bitcoin is like a roller coaster it goes up and down. The creator only answer this.

Which December are you talking about? 2018?

Where are you getting your numbers from? $6000 a month ago? peaked at $11500 days ago? Your on another planet

Check the date moron who can't spell.  His post was from a long time ago. 

many things are the reasons why bitcoin prices currently continue to fall, but as a bitcoiner we should treat it wisely, because the bitcoin price fluctuations are already commonplace like this

Bitcoin dumped so hard since since the beginning of jan 18 some traders and big players cashing out $ for me this is a good sign to reach new top level again before end of feb . stay calm and don't panic .

Yes its normal. Dont worry that bitcoin price is going down because it is just temporary.

Seems we have some serious decline from around 20k USD down to 12kUSD.. I just hope this is not another 2014 - 2015 run..  We all know history keeps repeating itself, I hope this is 2017 - 2018 run instead.. Anywhoo, let us just wait for the next price movement.

yes of course , there are times that bitcoin price is dumping, but there are times that bitcoin price is rising, its normal, thats the reality, pumping and dumping.

Ahahhahahaa says the retarded youtuber

Yes BTC more reducing every day.Ethereum was huge increasing 2 weeks ago but again below 1000$ & all alt coin market fully dumping.
I think after 19 january market will increasing.

Hi guys, With an experience of over a year, I personally feel this is how it happens every time. And please don't freak out. Just HODL. Crypto era just started.

Don't be discourage if Bitcoin is now dumping but instead take this as opportunity to buy additional investments as this will not take for too long.
This is the best time to buy Bitcoin since the price is lower as compared last 2017.
Just be patient to wait until the price will increase by next month. It is only just the beginning of drastic price increase.
For you to be able to jump higher you really need to bend your knees down.

You are right. I think it's simple. Sometime it will be dump and sometime it will be pump. We know that everything has good or bad side. So Bitcoin also have good or bad side. Don't panic , be patience . Bitcoin will be pumping very soon.

Learn the bascis of trading/investing. If you will be uneducated in this business you will loose big time. Learn and you will find out that these small dumps are normal and unpredictable. Stay calm and hodl or be a panic investror and sell with loses, your choice.

Yeah and as far as I know the pump of the price of bitcoin is always depends on the user's and investors, no one will know when is the right time that bitcoin will increase, just always monitor the price if you really wanna know.

Don't panic.

Don't panic. Dumps will always happen and it will always influence the market. Also I think this is a good thing, if they are dumping, that means there will also be a pump so just hold on to your coins and strap in for the ride!

In my opinion, the cryptocurrency market needs to deepen this fall in order to be able to grow stronger in the near future and the sharp decrease in bitcoin is also a good thing. Because bitcoin is still expensive so it needs to drop so that more investors can enter the market and so I think bitcoin will go from $ 4k5 to $ 5k.

I think its cause by investor but im sure it will be back with rising price because as of now investor in bitcoin are so many,thats why sometimes the price of bitcoin was fraughting.

It wil be return back to normal its dumping because of the news. The best moves is hold our bitcoin and never sell when prices are dumping. Needs to be wise in this stage and hold our btc for sure it will rising back.

Patience is a virtue applies also to cryptos. :D

Bitcoin doesn't have value because it uses a blockchain, Bitcoin has value because its cryptographically secure.

The only way that happens is if the blockchain is secured through cryptography.

While I'm not saying blockchain has no value, its certainly subordinate to that of cryptography.

Cryptography is what will "bank the unbanked", "give monetary sovereignty back to the people" etc.: blockchain is the tool that solves a specific cryptographic problem that stopped us from implementing a cryptographically secure currency on a global scale.

Cryptography has been used for millenia, not blockchain. We didn't have "blockchains" and suddenly invented cryptography to make them work.

Its not a "blockchain-currency", its a "crypto-currency"

Dr. Adam Back is a cryptographer, not a blockchainer.

Satoshi Nakamoto is\are\were cryptographer\s, not blockchainer\s.

So please, stop saying "blockchain" this, "blockchain" that. Blockchains are what suit and tie nerds think will change the world. Cryptography is what matters.

Yes, indeed that's what we have to do to fix again the price of Bitcoin. Only that way can make the Bitcoin price go up again. And I hope everyone can do this, you just have to hold back the Bitcoin you have without having to sell it. Simple.

I think that is the game in bitcoin. You just have to be patient because eventually the price will rise again. Buy as many bitcoins as you can and time will come that you will get your investment back. Just be patient. :)

Yup, we should be always have a lot of patience especially in the field of the cryptocurrencies because we all know that the market is not like the stock market that is less volatile because the market of the cryptocurrency is very volatile like it can move up fast and also fast to move down which is not a good market or field for the newbies in trading or investing.
