Seems on the markets at present time BTC has come down. your thoughts on this and why you think it happened?

Do you think it will go back up? if BTC goes down way lower would it be wise to buy more into it

It should have happened some time ago, when I was expecting it  ;) The growth of Bitcoin was sick and unreal, so this decline is a logical outcome. Panic on the market, growth of Eth and BCH. Some people are talking about "The Flippening" BTC to BCH. If you ask me, Bitcoin is not dead and hardly will be.

Why is it a logical outcome? It has to go down because it went up? It's just what happens. It's going to keep going up in the long run so nothing to worry. Keep hodl.

Maybe it's to keep altcoin price stability, which is very susceptible to the rise in bitcoin prices, so I think it's to make the currency of the cryptocurrency ..

This downward movement is normal. bitcoin must did it this long time ago. there are more usable crypto out there rather than bitcoin. maybe people are starting to realize that. however, bitcoin will still be at the top.  

money going into alts .That usually what happens when bitcoin get pumped alts follow straight after

Even if you get an answer here, don't base your trading decisions from others' opinions. You need to validate if this is just a normal correction or if it's the start of a downward trend.

every hours the value of bitcoin is changing, it is normal. if its going down today in a few days it will raise up.

Bitcoin always do its own part that is always go back up.
This happen because some people take profit in some point. But it will not continue to very low price because many bitcoiners hold bitcoin.

Bitcoin Cash is goimg nuts...the Miners are going after BTC again imo

Guys, don't buy when BTC price is falling. Please wait until prices have stabilized or once another uptrend has already started.

This is normal. And with the (postponed) bitcoin sigwit2 fork coming end of december, we will see the reverse movement and bitcoin going up again. 

Most likely some profit-taking / Tax year effect. Who really knows.

IMO its because coinbase went live with BCH so everyone is selling BTC to buy BCH thats why the BCH is pumping now. Let BTC drop so I can load up on more  ;)

^^ THIS ^^ Bolded, etc..

yes, because ETH gone up today, so btc gone down.

Lots of funds changing hands from BTC and alts towards BCH due to today's news, the latest push being from Coinbase listing BCH.

Not sure where it will head, but I think a lot of people who joined the world of crypto during this "bubble" may be looking towards BCH and thinking > $10k in a few months. Time will tell, however I'm skeptical as always...

yes, it is. I accumulated quite a bit, expected 25 000 till New Years but seems that I was overly optimistic with this. In any case will be holding, wont participate in panic. BTc always bounces back every damn time.

Difficulty adjustment yesterday? Plus Gdax trading today, pumped BCash like crazy

Yes a coinbase induces pump. Bch buying is down now though.

Downturns are common and a healthy expression of the market. Bitcoin was going up too high, too fast. I believe there was plenty of FOMO ("Fear of Missing Out"). Those that hold through this downturn will likely be rewarded, if history is any indication.

This is just a normal turn of events for digital currency; values won't always go up nor go down and these changes are affected by so many factors. With bigcoin value going down for the last few hours, a lot of people are panicking. Ut i guess it is best to hold on and be patient. I have high hopes bitcoin will rise again soon and we will all have a very merry christmas.

This is the price correction that everyone is expecting to happen because bitcoin have been increasing so much this November and December. But this doesn't mean that bitcoin will fall down continously, I think it will not go down lower than $16k. Bitcoin is a strong currency and for sure will stay in the crypto world for long time. So just hold and dont lose the faith

Yea very sad news, but on the other hand it is time to buy BITCOINS. 

Exactly, let noobs sell  ;D .... and it will bounce back up and go to 25k.

Think of it like a spring that has to contract to expand later with a great force. If you put a spring on a hard surface, press it down and release you'll notice that after the release it tends to bounce up and travel some distance before falling down. It's how BTC acts after a correction. It goes down a bit and then launches twice higher. I hope you guys aren't worrying yourself with every single correction ;)

Bitcoin is falling because the co-founder of Bitcoin.com said that he sold all his bitcoins for bcash.  Also because bcash is now on Coinbase.  

I also think that way also. That's normal in trading, up and down prices. But if you will check the general trend of bitcoin price throughout the years, it is increasing. So the dips that we are experiencing is just a small part of the big scenario. So as they say, keep hodling your btc.

Maybe this will be the other side of massive increase of bitcoin last time. But next week bitcoin will up again because of the this price.

How is this sad news? Bitcoin price dump has actually been anticipated. Too many unconfirmed transactions for days, sometimes more than a  week clogging the network with high transaction fees. It is normal for money to leave Bitcoin and go to other altcoins that allow for easy transfer of funds with lesser transaction fee.

Weak hands are panicking and getting into BCH. BCH almost touched $9500 on gdax. But after that there was a technical glitch. But a hard dumping is coming forward. Almost all the hodlers from last pump and dump are in profit and dump can happen anytime. Regarding bubble, BCH price is also not more than a bubble imho. What so great about it to have a value of $10k anyhow.

Really sad, if you can convince yourself that the period is under shock, after the end will continue to rise, many do not see a higher price? How can you sell your BTC assets so early? If after selling, BTC quickly rose, it is not a loss? BTC is more valuable than digital gold inside the digital currency assets, please take hold!

This correction was expected. Without correction can not be further growth. I think to 13000$-14000$ falls. Will have the opportunity to purchase those who have not done it before. And other altcoins to buy bitcoins as their pulled down

don't worry, go up and go down is normal in short term but BTC price will raising up for long term

I still stay at btc until now although I trade bitcoin cash too and I make a nice profit. I think the correction price come and makes the price is down too far so many people getting panic. meanwhile, bitcoin cash still going increase and reach the new highest price with the down of bitcoin. like other people said, money goes to bitcoin cash and altcoin and I think this time we can see the rise of altcoin.

Have you checked the transaction fee recently? It is at all time highs. The average fee per transaction is ranging from BTC0.0005 to BTC0.0020 right now (i.e between $8 and $34 per transaction). In long term, I don't think that this is very viable. And during the last 24 hours, Bitcoin Cash have risen by 100% against Bitcoin. It is about to overtake ETH as the no.2 crypto.

That's normal that the price of bitcoin going down its not always increase ,but this is also an opportunity to me to buy when bitcoin is in the low price.

take a week off.

Yes I agree, this is normal and if you guys noticed that BCH/BCC has been pumping since yesterday and down trend of BTC started yesterday. I think investors shifted their funds to BCH for the mean time to take advantage of the high volume of trading and the uptrend of of BCH. Good time to buy BTC for now since its on a dip.

even it will gone down today we have to be patience for waiting the other day for the highest price of bitcoin ever,dont you know that bitcoin will be more higher so do not be confuse for what they are saying just concentrate in what you are doing.

Volatility is a common thing in crypto currency. There is nobinstitution that can control and manipulate it to make it's price stable. Do not worry or sell bitcoin when the price fall.

it seems to be true, from the first if there is any unpleasant news about bitcoin coming from china it is certain the bitcoin price will wobble ..

Those "noobs" are making serious money by selling BTC when it's going to fall and buying it back (+ X BTC more for the profit) once it's going to rise.
"Noob" with his 0.001 BTC...

as of now we have no idea what are the reason behind this drop and why this happened . 18k down to 16k i have doubts  maybe it will  continue to collapse or maybe it is just temporary or a correction?. which is bitcoin is gaining some strength to Rocketed to the new value .

Is it common for there to be such a spread between exchanges? Withdrawals of BCH are frozen or i'd arbitrage the spit out of this. Some it's around 3500 others its 8500. I'm wondering where it'll settle.

Its value is natural to rise and drop from time to time. Do not worry if it goes way down because it will recover its uptrend very quickly since almost everyone demands bitcoin.

I think this is normal, will not forever continue to increase in the market. everything always follows orders and needs.
so it's normal if the decline occurs, and I think the bitcoin is still relatively stable. no need to worry about something that is still premature

With the news as it is dicorized then the price of bitcoin today is indeed decreased dramatically. So friends bitcointalk players then feel disappointed with the existence of firal as practiced by china.

This is a part of being a volatile crypto currency, there still a time for downside. Not all the time it will go increase dude, good thing to do now is buy bitcoin again at a low price and wait a small profit for the next week. Its not the first time it happen to bitcoin so lets us be patient as always :)

It's normal there are ups and downs. That's where opportunity stands. 

I think it can be related to high fees,
me myself am looking to sell all my bitcoins after this bumps because bitcoin is becoming unusable!

Bitcoin has gone down to under $17k. But why are you serious? That's just a correction of the market. This is the time for Whales and Sharks get profit. And when the price downs, they will come back again. You should not be too worried.

I think this is a normal thing to happen, the continuous rise of btc is quite terrifying but amazing at the same time. Anyways in times like this, its a good strategy to buy some btc while its value is a little bit low. The volatile characteristics of cryptocurrency is just normal. Don't do panic selling, buy some instead.

from the first, I've predicted that bitcoin at the end of the year will go down, it will start from 20-31. this happens because the year-end holidays, so many bitcoin users who sell bitcoin, then big investors also entertain to enjoy the end of the year. and this is the best time to buy bitcoin.
bitcoin will return again in early 2018. and increase in mid-2018

This is the time to invest in bitcoin for whom are still out of bitcoin investment. Bitcoin will pump again in a short time. There is no reason of anxiety !

yes because the founder of bitcoin.com have sell his fund in bitcoin and invest to bitcoin cash
but i think its just temporary and bitcoin will pumping again, wait and see..

Sold a portion of my coins, before it went down so hard today. Going to cash more and take out my initial investment and continue with the profits. So I got fiat ready to steal some cheap coins. It seems that Asia is dumping hard now, I wonder what the west will do when they wake up.

I know going down in price is should happen since the price already going up in some period of time.
May i know why do you said that the growth of bitcoin is sick and unreal?
I think this growth because of very high demand and it is real.

favorable night (Russia) for investments. BTC

Bitcoin has gone down from $19000 to $16000 which is a drop of $3000 . This couldn't happen without a reason and the reason for the dump is the pump of BTC. Coinbase announced the support of Bitcoin Cash and as soon as this happened the founder of the largest Bitcoin site announced that he has sold all his BTC and have exchanged them for BCH. Coincedently this guy happens to be a good friend of Roger Ver who is the owner of Bitcoin Cash. This couldn't be a coincedence but a well planned strategy for another pump and dump. As the pump which was done a month back this one seems to be carrying out pretty well as BTC has gone down and BCH has spiked up all of a sudden.

Yeah, sure. The saddest thing in this whole history is to get another proof of how much bitcoin price is subjected to decision of some few people.

It is a solid manifestation how volatile bitcoin's value is. It went off from 19,000$ to 15,000$ in just a span of couple of hours. Well, it's the good timing to buy bitcoin at a lower cost because the graph is showing bitcoin price is starting to rise yet again.

Hope it comes down to 1K so that I can load up more... To the moon in few years....

Maybe bitcoin lacks of supply anymore because people who has bitcoin hold it until the price goes up. That's why bitcoin rises up so that people who hold bitcoin will sell them back. There maybe a shortage of bitcoin. And now, they have enough supply so bitcoin price goes down.

Its just the usual thing. The price would pump up again sooner or later. there's no need of any panics.
And this is a great hole for investors to buy and invest btc  while the price is dumped down a little.
As a matter of fact I'm gonna buy a little myself

yaph, but it will go up again next year, maybe because its holiday more people buy some item as a gift, and some withdraw there bitcoin to used this holiday and they will be back next year by january then the bitcoin will start to go up.

I think all bitcoin users know why bitcoin today is down, it's because sales are more inflated than purchases. on 29-30 December is the right time to buy bitcoin, and bitcoin will rise again in early 2018.

it is true that bitcoin's price went down earlier today from 19k usd down to 16k usd, but in just a few hours it had regained it strength and is now at 17k usd, which i think is correction, since the price had gone up to 20k usd, we also need time to bu bitcoin at this point. one reason i also see, is people are starting to trade, since bitcoin's price went up, value of altcoins had been crashing, and now bitcoin had a slight dip and the value of altcoin's rose, from what i see, this is just normal to investing, like in the stock market, you buy blue chips, once it rises, sell it then but penny stocks to gain more potential profit, in this case more profits with altcoins, and once the price of altcoins had risen there is no way but down, and the price of bitcoin will go up, since people already had gained profit from the altcoin market, they now have a lot of buying power to buy bitcoins.

As per my knowledge this happended due to sudden up of bitcoin. During past weeks btc went up 20000 usd suddenly. This is unusual.

Now people panic and sell btc that the dump of this.  Some investers transfer btc to alts. So alts may rise up

I think bitcoin going down is'nt a bad thing, if it does'nt going down and always increasing there's a really big chance that bitcoin will be a bubble bitcoin right now is really high and there is'nt a single price correction so i think we will gonna see a price correction sooner but bitcoin value going down is'nt bad at all it's just normal.

Before, I was thinking that it's for the stability since there was a great and aggressive increase. But by the news, BCH gaining support from different platforms and exchanges worries me that faithful btc holders might be triggered or worst shift to BCH because of bitcoin being incompetent in its present problems.
I think that until scaling problems are unresolved, this kind of coasters which is a negative one will continue.

the price was to high the corrections was need it, is the way to clean weak hands. for people that have time with bitcoin know about this time of behaivour of bitcoin, so dont worry about it is very usual in bitcoin.

Even if it goes down below the 10K$ USD Level, I would still buy more, and more of it. BTC is far more stable compared to those days that People are still clueless about it. I'd definitely buy more, and hold it until it breaks another all time high record!

It's crushing but it will take only 1-2 days to recover :) wait and you will see the price hike again

it is a simple price correction after a long and big rally. it is not something you create a topic about really. just like when it is going up!
and right now we are having another bitcoin cash pump, like the last time and they are manipulating the price again. so i guess it may even drop more.

of course it will. but it will take a while. first they dump and then weak hands start to panic and price goes down a lot. after a while of accumulation and drama it will come back up.

Relax guys! Bitcoin is just going on a healthy correction, it will eventually go back to its high price.

Don't you worry when the BCT is down maybe there are try to pump the price again before the end of the year. The price is going back maybe there is maintenance or some of fork is going on. I'm gonna hodl and wait for the price until it increase again.

Really the price of bitcoin has been going down, there is no cause for panic sell because this is a usual occurrence if you have been an ardent follower of crypto markets, this is happened some few days ago when the price dropped dip from $16k+ to $12K before it rally upward, presently a pin bar candlestick is forming on daily timeframe which may signal upward trend in days ahead.

I was pretty expecting this to happen. Btc goes up in December because people got more money to invest due to the additional Christmas bonus etc. And the price goes down also at the latter part of December because people esp who do not hold btc for long term investment gets too excited with the gain they earned. They want to spend it right away for holiday getaway, Christmas present whatsoever. Then on January upto March btc will again regain its control in the market. For now do not panic, again btc is best managed by those emotionally stable persons that do not easily get carried away by sudden change in thr btc price. The higher the risk, the greater the return just like in stocks, bonds or any type of investment.

Yes, I think it's reasonable to go down because the bitcoin prices are unstable, of course we do not need to panic if the bitcoin goes down. That's our chance to buy as much bitcoin as possible, because as we know, bitcoin will go back up and the price will be higher later on.

Bitcoin price keeps on fluctuating...If It has gone down today It will rise up again in no time.And as of now it is good that It has gone now.

Don't panic men its normal so far, small percent of down wait for next 12 hrs or 1 day the price will bounce back into the old price.

the rise and fall in the bitcoin price is a natural thing and the possibility of causing. it there are many possibilities but I think it is because of the sudden high rise then now only slightly decreased. the belief in will go back up of bitcoin prices is in my opinion but people's opinions are different and as you say this is the right time if you want to buy it.

relax guys :) bitcoin price will be up soon :)

I think it was affected by this coming Christmas season in which the season of buying, giving and spending which are expensive activities therefore some bitcoin holder will sell their coin for fiat for their spending needs and i believed altcoins will on its way of dumping too because everybody needs paper money for the preparation of happy holidays.

It is a normal phenomenon for the price of bitcoin to come down. Its movement is a dynamic one and as such is expected to have a rise and a fall. It is to this effect that leads to buying and selling i.e before it takes a buy turn, you buy and before it takes a sell turn, you sell. But i still believe that the down movement of Btc will not alter its growth.

Yeah exactly, it's expected that something like this will happen because of the sudden rise, it's normal for the price to eventually go down. I'm surprised it gone down this late though I thought it will occur a little earlier when price was still around $18,000. Just don't panic sell with the current price, it's so low and it's not worth it, just hold and before you know it just like what @rodskee says price will eventually bounce back into its old price. I think right now is the perfect moment to focus on some altcoins, some altcoins are really skyrocketing right now so it's the perfect time to get some profit out of your altcoins investment.

that is normal in the market i think because value of money is rising and falling.after a few days it will eventually rise.i hope

When the Biggest Bitcoin exchange in the USA starts to trade BCash, it will have an affect on the BTC price. This is going to cause a lot of confusion, when people are going to transfer BTC to BCash and/or buying BCash instead of BTC, because they do not know the difference.

If you have two similar looking coins on an exchange and you do not know the difference, which one will you buy? Obviously some people will go for the cheaper coin, which is BCash. <Bargain Bin Coin>

All the BCash cheerleaders will go, "Oo la la, another fool fell for that trap"

Yes, Bitcoin price going fall in the last two days. it's a simple matter for every currency price would be ups and down. this is the life cycle of every life's circle. Sometimes price will go and sometimes price will be low. So it doesn't make any big sense. So that I have a strong belief that Bitcoin price will go up again very recently.

Also, they need to find a ways to reduce the transaction fee and faster confirmation.

If you go through weekly chart of bitcoin, such ups and downs are expected. Every currency have ups and downs in its trading patterns. Bitcoini is a decentralised currency, its supply is restricted and its demand is ever-growing so there is more volatility in bitcoin. Bitcoin is rising constantly from last six month, it has reached a moderate expected by its investors now these investors are withdrawing their profits. But at the same time new investors are buying bitcoin. As a result bitcoin prices are moving up and down. Such movements are good for any currency.

Every day pumps and dumps happen. Don't worry it will get back.

It is expected to have a correction after that crazy surge up. This is just normal with bitcoin, and the best opportunity to buy more bitcoin while the price is still down. One day it will surge up again and you will be thankful you bought more of it.

BTC newbie here, I bought in a week ago at 17,300 or so. What are the projections going into next week? I'm down about $600+ at the moment and I'd rather not sell at a loss, but I'm not expert enough at this yet to know if it's just a minor setback before another huge gain. Any ideas on the future coming days/week?

It is getting a bit frightening now. The prices have fallen by more than $3,000 per coin. And at the same time, the exchange rates of Bitcoin Cash has risen by close to 100% (versus BTC). And more worryingly, unlike the past situations South Korea is no longer dominating the Bitcoin Cash volumes.

i would just hold and dont panic. look at your gains from month to month.

When ever there's a down trend observed, it would bounce back to more than 150% from the current value. If you could validate the 1 year trend of BTC you may find that this down is normal and nothing to worry.

Hope this down trend would bounce back to $20,000 this New year. :o

I do not see the logic in this conclusion. Why is someone selling a highly liquid asset and buying another less liquid?
Coinbase have added BCH and all people going to sell their BTC and Buy BCH, why?  ???

I hear you it's not good to panic, but just checked again and I'm now down about $900. Is it really expected to grow again in the near future to the 19k levels it was at Saturday? I'm seeing a lot of "don't panic" type posts here and I can't tell if everyone has more experience and knows better or if we're all just being hopeful.

Right now, the transaction fee needed for instant confirmation has risen to 670 Sat/Byte. And it is increasing every hour as more and more miners are switching to Bitcoin Cash (as it is more profitable to mine when compared to Bitcoin). Users and miners are moving away from BTC, and this will cause a decline in the value.

there is not a sufficiently unsettling decline, everything is still normal
I think this is normal and tends to be stable. you do not have to worry too much. consequently can make you wretched in making decisions

So far it looks like a more or less normal correction, 20% falls happened before many times. A lot of money is transferred to Bitcoin Cash, which is being pumped like crazy (and Bitcoin Gold too). Again, we've seen this before.

Its down market for today but soon it will be higher , it is helpful traders and investors for quick money making.

There is nothing to worry its still a healthy correction. Some correction is expected when Bitcoins goes up so fast, and It needs a seller and then a buyer to make Bitcoin goes up again. Personally, $10K is a significant support since it a psychological barrier that has been through.

Maybe the dip is because of the year's season. It is now Christmas time and people are converting their bitcoin into cash for the holiday rush, gift giving, and various preparations. I hope it would soon go back again, and I say that really looking forward to it.

If it goes down than what it is now definitely i will buy cause i believe it shoot up again.

Who knows? We know bitcoin has a ups and downs it is good with the dip, bitcoin price rising unexpectedly in this past few days. And for sure, It will start moving again after everyone panic to sell their bitcoin.

It fell by 10% since it reached $20k 3 days ago after CME Group made an announcement about bitcoin futures and after this fork happened it's value suddenly started increasing (increased by about $3k) which is why it had to drop. Nothing surprising here but hope it doesn't drop by 10-20% more as all altcoin markets too are getting effected. Most of the coins have dropped by 20-30% as per coinmarket.

Just hodl, It will go up again and I think with the next push it will go cross 20000$.

this is common in bitcoin. now bitcoin will soon return to a higher price. it's time for us to buy more bitcoin.

Today's BTC prices fell sharply, explaining that many people waited for the BTC to reach the $20,000 mark and then sold off for profit, leading to a sharp fall in the exchange rate following a $19,000 mark. The current time is very suitable for studying the BTC's rising and decreasing index and buying BTC for holding. I believe that by the beginning of 2018 Bitcoin will reach a rate of more than $20,000, and by the end of 2018, the BTC rate will be $100,000 and beyond.  ;D

If I were you I would just keep hodl and wait for the recovery of bitcoin since I start in bitcoins I already saw lots of huge dump that happen but then a after weeks and sometimes only few days hige pump happen again.

Hope you're right about that. It seems to have stabilized a little bit at least, it seems to be holding at the mid-high 16k range with some random dips. Hopefully before Christmas it'll head back to where it was or higher.

Hi there worldtraveller321! The opening of CME bitcoin future contracts greatly affect the price of the bitcoin while it surges the price of alt coins. It is the same what happen when the CBOE start to trade their same bitcoin future contracts. The bitcoin have just start to inclined its price when days after the opening of the CME bitcoin future contracts. Comparing to the passed scenario, the bitcoin could stall around 19k for a week before starting to step in another price hike, and by this, I think it is a good time to buy.  ;)

I think this is normal to happened. Others are for sure starting to invest on alternative coins. Like myself, it is also good to see other potentials of other cyptocurrencies. But as for me, bitcoin will continue to go up since many more than ever now knows about bitcoin. In fact money countries are allowing bitcoins in their transactions.

Guys let them dump, teach them a lesson and buy more, make them fear the FOMO,  There is a risk for them to dump also.   They are feeding the winners.  Perfect time to buy in more altcoins and bitcoins, you become a loser when you let them manipulate your thinking.  This is the art of war remember that.  You have to see also the bright side as well, you are not losing coins it just loses value.  So you really dont lose anything unless that is your money you live on.

I think bitcoin depends only on why he drops and rises but it's also scary as it gets smaller but I hope bitcoin will grow even faster for our bitcoiners.Think positive do not scared to down value of bitcoin thier more reason why bitcoin down?Bitcoin will increase on the next level and next year will growth the value of bitcoin.

Yes, as you have seen on the market, it has been stretched from 19,000 levels to 16000 levels. This may be speculation that maybe bitcoin cash may be related to Roger's twits.then the Trend direction may be downward after this ann. we wills ee

it is normal for the bitcoin price to go down, it is all part of trading. sometimes the value of bitcoin goes down and sometime it goes up! it will not be always going up! I believe it will go up again in some time today or the next day.  I think the reason why its price goes is many people are selling due to the high price but it will go up again when people buys again.

The appropriate callback to continue to rise, because the vampire effect of BCH, so BTC fell some today, but it is not a big problem, now is still a bull market, the currency is still will rise.

I expected it to happen after almost breaking through $20000 I'm sure a lot of holders planned to sell their bitcoins in that moment and so the price of bitcoins in the market is bound to fall down. Bitcoin will eventually increase again next year and maybe reach a new record before 2018 ends in my opinion.

Bitcoin go down today to give way for some who wanted to buy but it will surely bounce back, it's normal and it's the trend for you and for me to buy more, there a some factors affecting the price trend but it will surely bounce back up higher later before the year ends.

I think this is just a small drop. In July next year it will be 30k or 40k USD.

I think this long-awaited correction before another explosion! until the 27th there will be very strong growth!

Finaly healty correction. Step back for two steps in front

This downfall was expected but not the way it has happen.This was game set plan and was executed.I think the prices will be stable in few days.Publicity stunt by Bcash owner will not last longer.

I see!
now less 15K...Maybe now it's a time for forks? I keep an eye on the new release Segwit2X (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2595620.0)

It's true. While with this sudden pump of bitcoin cash, holders are sitting again with their profit and following all the hype. But some will surely loss again as they buy back but with just a glimpse of their eyes the price dumps again like what just happened with the recent pumped. So better now keep an eye in the market so you won't miss any single penny.

I think the decline in bitcoin is part of the game created by the bitcoin system itself. which is a problem, knpa altcoin does not raise the price as bitcoin falls

Not by the comment I think, this is the case China claims to have lost in deceit by ICO, the Chinese government plans to kill bitcoin and announce strict prohibition if there are residents who store bitcoin in prison he said, but as far as I know China is smart money problem Could be this is just a conspiracy.

Now, BTC is only down temporary, it will be pumped up again. This point should buy BTC to hold.
This is my own opinion.

Its starting to rise already, the down is only temporary as the demand of bitcoin grows bigger and bigger.
I am looking for bitcoin to reach 25 000$ .

I do not think to worry about the fall in bitcoin prices because bitcoin prices will surely rise again and will continue to grow

Right now the number of unconfirmed transactions stands at 222,000+ and it is increasing steadily. Until this issue is resolved, Bitcoin will not go up again. During the past 3-4 days, Bitcoin Cash has gone up in value by as much as 200% (versus Bitcoin). If this issue is not resolved within the next few days, then BCH has a real chance of overtaking Bitcoin as the no.1 crypto.

So the dump currently happening is already cause by correction?

Yeah, but I think it's small chance for BCH to overtake BTC.

I would believe so. Unless there's a major bad news that could keep Bitcoin price moving downward.

bitcoin prices are down a few levels, a lot of speculation, one of which is the news that Emil Oldenburg, co-founder and CTO of Bitcoin.com site has sold all BTC he has and started switching to BCH.
start re-analysis, if the price will continue to fall, it's good immediately secure the asset.

BTC indeed has gone down. Although, there is completely nothing to worry about it. For one thing BTC has already been like this since year 2009 and I'm very sure that it will rise up again. We all just have to be patient for that time. Anyways, we are the ones who benefit for all the increase of bitcoin.

Bitcoin is going to get expensive soon. All you have to do is wait a little while longer if you plan on making money on it.

This is to be expected we will constantly see growth and losses with bitcoin if you are new to crypto currencies you will get used to this roller-coaster. Once you have a interest in bitcoin you will tend to notice the rise and fall more often as you will find yourself checking what prices are maybe a couple of times a day.

Its very normal thing for me, because for sure bitcoin will not rise high easily of course expect a lot of dump before its go even higher. Don't sell on panic, take this as an opportunity to buy more. Bitcoin will be back stronger than before and for sure it will make good money for us.

Bitcoin start growing again, and now bitcoin will go higher once again and break all previous record. Bitcoin goes down because people invest money in other currencies.

As I expected, now will grab this golden opportunity to buy more bitcoin. Bitcoin will surely bounce back, and for sure it will make an all time high and dump a little again, its very normal, we are now living in a world where everyone want to have bitcoin expect growth over time.

Today BTC falls for 2k usd.
I am hope this falling continues not long, and we seen again beating 20k usd

Yes I agree, this is normal and if you guys noticed that BCH/BCC has been pumping since yesterday and down trend of BTC started yesterday. I think investors shifted their funds to BCH for the mean time to take advantage of the high volume of trading and the uptrend of BCH good time to buy BTC for now since its on a dip.coinbase induces pump.Bch buying is down now though.

I think it's a matter of business strategy, now the bitcoin drop price may be only temporary sometimes there should be a decrease in order for this business to survive.

I think it's a normal activity of bitcoin, bitcoin should rise with own power, because everyone so interested  about bitcoin and everyday many of people invest here, so don't worry it's rise again. 

I am thinking that maybe it is not only temporary move to BCH but rather they are more thinking along the lines that bitcoin becomes very insecure in the sense you cannot liquidate your position because the network is stuck.

For BCH there are no such fears.

So maybe the move to BCH is more permanent than you think

At present BTC is at $ 17500, it has risen again after a sudden drop of $ 3,000. Talking about the BTC currency, its exchange rate will always increase because the BTC has only a finite amount of money. Second, BTC attracts many investors as well as people. increase day by day The recent drop in BTC rates is temporary, due to too many BTC sellers at a time when the exchange rate was at $ 19,000. And now the price of the BTC is continuing to increase again, promising to exceed $ 20000 by the end of the year.  ;D

The decline in Bitcoin prices is due to the proximity of Christmas Day. Because more and more people need money for christmas and (maybe) many people sell their Bitcoin. Because a celebration takes a lot of money.

How do you "validate" this? To me seems like a correction for now but this is just intuitive. Technical analysis doesn't apply well to this crazy market.

Not sure. Some people can buy bitcoin as a present for Xmas. I did =)

Bitcoin prices are currently down until a few days earlier only temporarily due to the impact of other altcoin values ​​rising, but I am sure that after the decline in bitcoin prices, in the near future will increase again. We should be able to take advantage of the bitcoin price reduction to buy more bitcoins into short-term investment assets until prices rise again.

If you are also into stock trading, then you would know that this is basically a correction. It's not bad at all.

Well I think Bitcoin goes down today because investor tend to hold their money because its Christmas season, or they already invested here and wait for the Bitcoin to pump soon . We cannot say when or how much it will loses but the most important thing is this will pump eventually.

Let us hope that after Christmas both the price and the bitcoin transaction backlog (currently at 220 thousand) go back to more manageble levels and the bitcoin devs have more time to fix the underlying bitcoin problems in quieter times.

I think Bitcoin is always doing his own part, if he goes down then he gets back up. This happens because some people sell bitcoins by taking advantage at some point. if too many people are selling this bitcoin account on the spur of the moment then the price is rapidly declining.

High volatility has been a key feature of crypto and BTC is no different. Any news and sentiment movement could lead to sharp turn of the price. Be it the Chinese crack down ICO, or the bitcoin future is launching.  From segwit2x fork to the bch pump. Value of crypto is largely settled by balance between lack of confidence and high confidence. The past Bitcoin records show that eventually the price is going upwards despite the short term flip. And these failed attempts to crash bitcoin eventually add to the support and confidence in bitcoin.

Yeah the price of a Bitcoin dropped suddenly by $3k today.I was hoping that the value would go beyond $20k but it didn't.I guess this sudden drop was due to people selling their Bitcoin when the price hit $19k.If the price drops further then it would be a good chance for investing in bitcoin because the value of bitcoin would for sure rise again and this time maybe it would cross the $20k mark.

I see it as a support point and it will break it and reach 21000 and then we may see unprecedented numbers
At this time in 20 days from now
it is a very good trading period

Its always very hard to know what Bitcoin price will do, however - the price is twice what it was just a month ago. It could go anywhere from here in the short term, but in the longer run it is likely to go significantly upward IMO.

The price has already returned to normal :). She reached 15k $ for a few minutes. The price is very mobile ...

Thaat downward price of bitcoin is actually good, because more will invest to bitcoin, more people will buy bitcoin and sell it when the price getting higher, it is a smart and wise decision. I guess in 2018 the price of btc will getting higher.

I think I agree with that because I also notice it before I joined using bitcoin as a job for me to work and I think every user must know that they should not fear the amount of bitcoins price.

BTC is down today which is very helpful if you would like to trade with others. The only reason is that when price become high transaction fee become great thus it become difficult to send or receive from others. Thus, it is not scary for none but good news.

The thing is Bitcoin was dumped and pumped by the sharks and whales so it's not strange when it changed it's value much in a short time.

thats normal sir because when the bitcoin increasing in this month the next month will be decreasing just be patience sir and hodl your btc when the time comes you can cash out your bitcoin any time any where

Bitcoin has gained nearly three times in the past month, so this correction is normal, don't worry, the bull market is still around, so don't sell bitcoins.

i wish that bitcoin is getting low at the price of even a 200$ per btc why? to buy a lot of bitcoin and hold it for a year.

I think you are wrong, I think bitcoin remains normal
there is no significant drop and big impact, you can see and monitor it in the market

This is ok, everyone expected this I think. Next year would be bright for Bitcoin.

It was a planned speculative operation. First they sold bitcoins, then bought bitcoin cache, its price increased by 50% per night. Then they sold Bitcoin Cash and bought a cheap bitcoin. Now everything is restored in its old prices, and bitcoin before the fork will additionally rise in price.

it seems that 20k is the line of resistance for bitcoin right now and many of us predicted this price correction to occur soon or later

Bitcoin's price went down because of bitcoin dot com's move. He sold all his BTC and bought Bitcoin Cash. There are also those who took profit, probably for Christmas Shopping and other expenses for the upcoming Holiday Season. FUDs are all over the social media currently, spreading negativities about BTC, but Bitcoin is anti-fragile and will be unstoppable for the coming year 2018.

Yep, went down, but with any down, we see on what happens - bitcoin is always restored and goes up. And as we all know there are exchanges that react to the change in the rate with a delay - also a good opportunity to earn.

Bitcoin Cash has always been shady. It always had been a pump and dump business for Roger Ver. Also, he has now teamed up with Coinbase and Brian Armstrong to make his pump a massive one. Market gonna stay like this for a day more as Roger Ver is going to be in a show on CNBC in some hours. Also, the volume at Bithumb and Bittrex is insane that indicates towards another leg of pumping. Thanks to them, Bitcoin had a required correction and would be bullish back again coming week and can easily go $20k+ this time.

This is very normal i think that bitcoins now gone down. It should be like this so that new investors like me, we're given a chance to sum up our investment. And also to give way for the altcoins a chance to increase. No need to be panic and just keep your holdings.

That is true, bitcoin price is currently down and it is better to  buy more bitcoin while it is at the lowest value.

This is only an ordinary unforeseen development for digital money, values won't generally go up nor go down and these progressions are influenced by such a large number of elements. With enormous coin esteem going down throughout the previous couple of hours, many individuals are freezing. Ut I get it is best to hang on and be persistent. I have high expectations bitcoin will rise again soon and we will all have an exceptionally happy Christmas.

To be honest when the price drops I will buy bitcoin again, because the price drop only lasts a few days only. So use that opportunity as much as possible.

this scenario has happened also in past. Btc went down and all the alts went up and when btc went up all the others went down, so it is like an agreement between them and the money shifts from btc to alts.

Unfortunately yes bitcoins are down today i donnot know why maybe a lot of people had sold their bitxoins because it is almost christmas and a lot of money is needed. But that is a great thing to buy a lot of bitcoins also because we all know that the value of bitcoins will always rise be because they still in the trend this year and a lot of people are still jlining the community. But it is kind of risky to invest and buy because we cannot say if bitcoins will still be as successful as they are today in the next years. So it is up to you to take the risk or to avoid it.

Expecting this. just like what we say , its unstable. It will happen time to time. It's look like the bubble is starting to pop out but no one knows. It may go up again at some point like happen in the past. We know the scenario here so we are aware that bitcoin will surely go down a little bit.

this also made me startled and worried, bitcoin price down about $ 1000, this may happen because people who do sales with small amount, I'm sure bitcoin will return with the highest price

The dumps or declines on its market value is caused by the sudden changes on its demand from the market. Bitcoin is volatile in nature so fluctuations are just normal. We should not worry about the backdrops because it is not permanent and will eventually increase again. The best thing to do is to hold and invest whenever its market value is falling.

Yes the value of bitcoin is like a rollercoaster  it up and down but    this is normal in market. Bitcoin value is very unpredictable. Even the price is going down people are continuing support bitcoin , because the value is always changing.

The bitcoin has dropped this month so if you're a bitcoin holder you'll probably feel it's a bit like a bitcoin holder. But I think it's just a bit of a bitcoin. They say that their price is comparable to a car tire that rotates sometimes at a height sometimes at the bottom. If you are positive about what's going on tomorrow and on the next day it will bring good results. So it's just as positive you should think that it can happen. Bitcoin price is changing every our or every minutes this is normal every day.

Same here dude I'm actually wishing bitcoin to have a deep dump because I have manage to convert my bitcoins into fiat before this happen so a dump is a good event for me to buy using the fiat result of my sold bitcoins that would be profit on my side if ever.

Values are changing, the only thing that is not changing for weeks now is the number of unconfirmed transactions. That stays constantly fucked. Good luck using bitcoins without paying those fkrs thru the ass.

I see the possibility of a massive head and shoulder forming on 3h Bitfinex chart. If it's happen, BTC could find a support at the 12k area in the next hours/days

12k is kinda deep, but if it's a H&S pattern, it does have some probability to go as the pattern dictates.

I think it's very normal :)) Nothing can increase all the time and Bitcoin is not an exception :). Price of all cryptocurrency on the market dump and pump everyday because of the whales and trader so I think we no need to worry about it. We just need to wait and keep holding our Bitcoin cause in next few days maybe at this weekend I think Bitcoin price will come back to over 19k$ :)

Bitcoin is always volatile so yes it is normal that price gone down today. I think the price of btc falls down because of the bcc rises today with coinbase news. Anyway, btc will revive again and will rise so time to buy btc these days.

If btc down is sure to be good news for investors as this is the best opportunity for them to buy btc and try to be patient to keep waiting for the resale price increase in the next few days So that profit can maximize.

Its already recovered isn't it? The price is just above $17,000.


I don't know if this is another planned and coordinated attack from Bitcoin Cash. But I have to agree that it have been pumped close to 50%. Damn, what will happened to those who are trap once more, if the price crashes? It this is well plan, expect in the next couple of days a big crash is coming. Better get out while you can.


Of course everyone is talking about that bitcoin should have a correction because the way the price goes up in the last couple of weeks is amazing. People complaining that they can't afford the price, but corrections already occurred and I just hope that they members complaining has bought when the price go down at $16,000.


Is this true? I was out 3 days ago and I haven't heard of this news. Will have to check. Usually FUD's really come alive when the price of bitcoin is doing down. But we all know that they can't really make any significant dent on the price because today bitcoin has recovered already.

I think this doing down will bring a very big increase at the end. Many people wait to buy Bitcoin till it goes deeper. 

I always think that BCH is manipulated behind the scenes, is it a group of miners? But I firmly hold bitcoin, even if the price of bitcoin continues to fall. It will not be transferred to other coins.

I always believe that whenever its market value is falling, it has to so with the demand since both are proportional with each other. But what is important is to hold and invest to Bitcoin whenever its value is falling because it will climb its way up again like what usually and mostly happen. We should hold for the future.

I will also continue to keep bitcoin if it continues to decrease further. Because I can see the bitcoin's ability to increase in the near future so I will continue to buy more bitcoins. I am buying more bitcoin with my savings, I hope this is the right decision.

yesterday the price of btc did get down, but by the new year bitcoin prices continue to rise, no need to fear the price down will definitely rise again, even more.

I was temporarily in the black again this morning when it was in the mid 17k, but seems to be down to low 16k again. I wonder how long this trend will continue before it spikes again. Still a little concerned since I vested a decent chunk of change into this thing and was hoping to see some kind of profit by now, not a major loss.

My opinion, I think no because the investment continue to withdraw because the demand is increase worth 900k rather bitcoin is realy not down today.

I thought that the prices would stabilize at somewhere around $17,000 per coin. But now the rates are sliding down once again and the current price is around $16,200 per coin. At the same time, Bitcoin Cash has breached all the previous records. Right now, it is trading at around $4,300 per coin. Two months back, it was trading at ~$300 per coin.

This was orchestrated very well!

Bitcoin.com = Roger Ver = Bitcoin cash

To say it like Trump: bitcoin.com is fake news ;)
They will publish anything to make the price of bitcoin cash go higher

May be today it will go down around $16000 to $17000. It will trade in between. Now bitcoin is not stable here it is dump down  it's just my prediction.

Well it's back up to 16,800 now. It's been hovering in the 16-17k range all day, so not sure what that says about it. Bitcoin Cash definitely is spiking though which is surreal. Almost feels like another get in or miss out moment a lot of people had when Bitcoin was just under 10k. Still hoping for the recovery..

This is a sign of bitcoin going up again, use this opportunity to buy more bitcoins.

I agree with you, it aims to make all crypto grow together, so bitcoin users don't skyrocket because bitcoin is a top priority. If bitcoin prices continue to increase without decreasing, it will make other crypto fail and maybe later bitcoin will go bankrupt because the volume runs out.

All I can think about is panic selling.
I feel it too and I think it is not just me who have the same feeling of selling it since it is too large for an increase in just weeks.
Just got my strength from being optimistic that this aint over yet.
It might have gone down but it is fighting back up. So this is not yet over. There will be big waves incoming. I hope so.

bitcoin seems to be really resistant to falls, it holds $ 17k

Behind Bitcoin Cash there are important "names", with large reserves of BTC that can dump from one moment to another to unleash a panic sell! There is no doubt that the price is manipulated... Coinbase has launched an investigation for insider trading!

I agree, but honestly the Main chain bitcoin needs to get on with fixing their issues, its unacceptable i know lightning is coming yaya but for the time being other networks are just plain faster, they need to fix it, as it gives the other chains ammo

Yes, true, the price of Bitcoin has dropped a bit, but it is not the first time this happen, and it will not be the last, in my understanding, this is natural. The cause of this fall in price may be the increase in the price of BCH, or perhaps it may be because some big investor has made a sale, much speculation about it. Of course the price will go up again, about that, there is nothing to worry about (that's what I think)

Yes this is very strange, i dont know why the heck bitcoin is going down right now, a lot of people are saying that it is because of Roger Ver and his friends.

But no one knows the real reason of why it is doing so... I would keep waiting a little bit more, and if everything goes down above $10000 i will probably buy more bitcoins.

Who doesn't like to buy bitcoins at a reduced rate? lol.

BCH was most likely manipulated when trades were stopped at $9,500. I mean for what was going on last night, there were so many trades that were simply just halted. Millions of dollars at stake. Interesting, eh?

That is right. If we know one thing for sure, that price is manipulated by those gigantic investors. They even control social media to trigger panic selling to make it even faster. My only advice for you would be that please do risk management. don't take more risks especially in these days.

That is of course, when prices rise to the ceiling price needs to buy btc will decrease and investors are eager to sell btc that they own. That will reduce the btc price. Currently at btc prices are $ 16k, I think this is the right time to invest btc. But you also need to consider when investing because the current price is not low in the past.

I think this happens because market is very much manupulated by some walthy investors today plus the coinbase effect.
Although its a big big buy day .buy bitcoin if you can ;)

Antoher market move if you ask me, people is buying BCH with their high valuable BTC to later make the switch again in between and earn.

BCH listing on coinbase

And just like that, it seems BCH price is heading down a bit. It held at $4,300 for a bit this past hour and now it's down almost $1k, which is about a 20-25% drop. Is this another cue that BTC will increase again?

bitcoin is going down and up over years, its part of the game.dont worry guys bitcoin come always back with a bigger increase that we have seen before!
all we got to do is hodl our coins im sure this is only a litte dump.

makes sense

That is a little fluctuation in the price of bitcoin that happen every time, i am hopeful that the price will once again reach to 19000$ in next few hours.

The market needed this correction so it can slowly recover before the next pump in about a week. This seems to be the normal trend right now and we still have a long way to go before the bubble collapses I think.

Looking at the chart from previous months,  we realize there are periodic downfall in the price of bitcoin but then we also realize that bitcoin did always survive these downfalls.
So I see no reason for you to panic at this downfall because surely the price of bitcoin will soar higher than it was before.

It's the second time this is happening. Bitcoin cash is being considered as the real bitcoin. The FUD is the reason for rapid fall along with the Bitcoin holders who are creating FUD. If you watch charts then you will see such dip is completely normal in BTC. Keep on holding Bitcoin at least for short period of time in future. For now, Bitcoin will continue to rise.

I don't believe that bitcoin is dead. The grow in last 1 month was really too good to be true and it was a matter of time when it will go down.

I'll stay positive because now is right time to buy some more :)

no.2 seems like ok place for Bcash (aka manipulated shitcoin) because Bitcoin has and always be a no.1

This is kind of normal, yes it will also happen in future as well. This is just a game of buy and dump. Nearly soon the Bitcoin Cash will again go down as usual.
Coinbase which introduced or added Bitcoin Cash might have supported this stupidity. Along with the newcomers/newbie investors which are following the hoard to be a fool.

I don't know if it's manipulated or not, but even it sees $ 15,000 till end of 2017, there is no need to worry. Think it will go up again at the beginning of 2018.

Normal situation after so crazy growth. I would suppose that BTC goes down more, till 14-15k$. I suppose it is possible on the Christmas holidays, when most of traders and investors don't open any orders and there is low activity in the exchanges. That's time when the most of them do rest and spend the time with their family.

I have noticed this, if bitcoin price  went down then bch price  will go up, and vice versa if bitcoin  prices go rise up and then bch prices will go down. While this is a good time to buy bitcoin because price is being dropped.

The going up and down of btc is i think normal. As i said before, this is like a stocks in a stocks market that will goes up and goes down. Maybe one of the reasons people are gerting their funds or profit to use this holiday season. Then there plenty black propaganda about btc and all. Sometime even we dont like it but i also affect the business.  But anyhow in business this pretty normal. The ups and down is very normal. Dont panic about it. Its ok to buy bitcoin now so that you can sell it higher when the price will shift higher anytime today. I think they are giving a chance for those who wants to avail a lower price then so that they can sell it higher. Just be positive guys. Hoping for the best.

Just hold and dont pay attention to the daily swings of the coin. It will only stress you out and it is irrelevant in the long term (unless you're trying to daytrade then you need to keep yourself updated)

Interesting movement is happening right now on the market.
Bitcoin 24 hour volume is so big 23 billion.

It would have being normal if the price was around four or five thousand ,but the price is way above those valuations and those value came up very soon and that is the only reason i am worried on what the bottom will be and with the correction we are having now we saw a good correction and it is trading around sixteen to seventeen thousand dollars and i think that would be the standard trading lines for now.

Always mind it, crypto market always fluctuations. Some time increasing some time falling.Don't worry for this matter.

Yes, it's down. I think it's worth going down because many people are selling bitcoins and at the end of the year. Many people will sell their bitcoin to play during the holidays. But I think the bitcoin value will increase again.

Such as the incidence of last year, near the end of the year or the turn of the year bitcoin prices decreased and may rise again in March or April. People are already predicting bitcoin that this will happen again like last year. But, I still hope it will not happen, even if the price drops. Hopefully, the decline in bitcoin prices is not drastic.

People panic when bitcoins stop increasing and its price going down. This situations normally happens and it always be. This is what bitcoins brings to people,, the excitement, I think that's why they love it.

Its tanking right now quiccck

bitcoin prices are influenced by the number of buyers and sellers, bitcoin votality will increase if the buyer is more than the buyer. Maybe today bitcoin is down because of the large number of people selling bitcoins because of their needs. approaching the new year many people need money so they sell bitcoin. it's very reasonable, I think the bitcoin value will come back and the bitcoin price will keep going up. I believe bitcoin will continue to rise.

Good

I do believe that it qill, we just need to be patient. We are on christmas season wherein people needs money so that's probably the reason why they are selling their bitcoin which makes the transactions high and the demand including the price, low. But expect that it will again increase. Just hold and invest.

Ya. But i dont think he has to be afraid and panic for one day reduction in bitcoins value. Even he himslf can testify how bitcoin has soared into the sky from the time it  started from pennies. Now it is obvious it is untoppable in reaching the sky. A decrease in price for a day or two is not to dangerous and frightening. Be cool it will increase more.

This is temporary. Bitcoin will eventually recover in a few days or so. Users may have stepped on the break for the meantime. But no need to panic, price will be back on track soon.

Dont worry because its natural in bitcoin to fall its value sometimes but mostly up, just dont panic everytime you know it will goes down just be calm. And i think everytime its goes down it means many people shown interested and used it, but in few day it will be back in much high value than before.

I expect the recovery to start soon, I think it will be difficult for 15k to be broken and stayed below. It would be wise to buy in to bitcoin new yes, in time the price will recover again.

I don't think that is the reason. If that was the reason, I would be calm. It has happened in the past that Bitcoin lost 20 to 30% of value in a few days due to correction or bad news like China banning exchanges.
But I am seriously worried about current dip because it is connected to Bitcoin Cash rise. BCC is actually threattening BCC and what worries me is the organized FUD and hype in support of BCC. Ok, the transaction fees and transaction times are a problem but solution, the Lightening Network is coming soon. It looks like some organized groups are crushing BTC intentionally.
The question is are they doing it just to pump BCC and then dump it and accomulate more bitcoins, or they will keep their bitcoin cash and BCC will eventually replace BTC as default cryptocurrency. I think the first scenario is more likely.

It's possible, but investors and speculators are clever, sooner or later they will dump Bitcoin Cash and start Bitcoin again. I believe BTC will increase its price by the end of 2017, I'm thinking we will see another bump and BTC can reach $19.000 again or even more, who knows maybe we are able to hit $20.000-$23.000 or so... Personally, I don't think there is any chance for Bitcoin Cash to replace Bitcoin as main Crypto-Currency, if it didn't happen until now it won't happen...

its time to buy now big oportunity after new year bitcoin price ı guess gonna pass the 20.000 dolar

Its make me no worry because i know its natural to bitcoin to goes down in value, it will goes much higher again when it back. Just be calm and patience until its back to normal value, panicking make you doing something that you regret after you panic.

It's a correction after the bull run and it makes sense, that BTC is retreating a little bit in favor for all the altcoins on the market. However, it is really surprising that the second BTC cash overtaking attempt is starting. After Coinbase added the coin, it really took off, not sure, where the limit will be this time around.

decrease on its value is not new. It often happens as it is already normal, because Bitcoin is volatile, and it is part of its volatility. Since Bitcoin market value is dependent on the demand, we can't avoid experiencing backdrops as what you have mentioned. You should hold your Bitcoin more especially if your goal is to earn bigger income. No need to panic, fluctuations are normal in an open source system.

BTC is staggering for a few days and everyone is panicking. This 200-300% weekly profits are not normal and corrections will happen form time to time.

It will reach 20k in a month or so ....

Good job coinbase...
I'm seeing this as an opportunity for higher profits.
When the BTC price gone down, people will now start to dump their BCH back to bitcoin.
Equals: Higher Bitcoin price

Part of me is thinking of buying another 10k worth now.. Hmm.. you guys sure are positive this thing will find it's way back up.

I also see bitcoin declining on this day. I think it's time to invest because the bitcoin price is down. I think in early 2018 bitcoin prices will rise again.

As at the present time, the price BTC tend to fall compared with the previous four days, down from 19000 dollars down 16000 dollars. This clear explanation for a lot of people holding and investing the Bitcoin, led to the price increase of Bitcoin quickly, and after hitting 19000 dollars then everyone simultaneously sold to make a profit large Bitcoin, leading to the exchange rate of the Bitcoin falling quickly down 16000 dollars. But that is only the reduced rate of Bitcoin temporarily in this period. I believe the next rate about 3 weeks of Bitcoin will increase strongly back and exceed 20000 dollars.  ;D

I think it is normal on the bitcoin will going to pump or dump, But for now in this month the bitcoin has always increase the value, And end of this year i think the bitcoin will going back into normal value.

Yes, you are right, do not panic with the fall of Btc prices now, because if you panic with Btc drop you may have regretted selling your Btc, I think if panic with Btc price, you should play trading, while waiting for the price back to normal or up .

When the btc gone down because the one reason of like a scam, and other barricade and when the big people behind this organization distrust in btc they have possibility that btc gone down and also when without a proper cooperation of every one in the organization this one reason.

For me as long as you keep believe on bitcoin, I just hold it although bitcoin is on downtrend.
As an investor , I'm not too panic because I won't sell bitcoin in rush.

I heard that someone buy BCH instead of bitcoin

Markets move up and down, that's the trend. There is no steady trend for any financial instrument. If it moves up, there will be a major correction as well correlation factors . Btc is in a steady uptrend and would allow other buyers as well to enter in the market, that's the reason a major correction being done. I m not worried about the trend, I m just worried about the percent of correction it makes. Thats what matters me as buy positions would pile up.

buy more that wise to do,You post this because your newbie in cryptobut if you see the bitcoin this august 1 this year the price of btc drop by 75% it almost gone but still because we need btc it still grow little by little and now the price since that happen is 220% high now.I think risky that's bitcoin but a chance for profit is so high,In august i invest 0.005 btc when the time btc drop and i regret that i invest only like that.

The sudden downfall is apparentely because of the North Korea hack that hacked many bitcoins . It is quite dissapointing to know that bitcoin has suddenly gone down when it was highly suspected to go up and cross $20000 near christmas .
The sudden hike was quite unrealistic and shocking and the sudden downfall may lead to heavy losses too.

I think the current bitcoin price drop is likely to be a little longer. So if we buy now should be a little patient. because bitcoin prices will continue to fall to the present time. is not it as good as the one we developed our money on the other coins first?

It is all part of BTC,  If you have money then buy and sit on them   sell on the next ATH that for sure will come in couple of months.

all   red today, bitcoin will go down more.

many will buy more than find bitcoin down

Today the price of bitcoin has come much lower in value getting closer to $12000 and now it has started to move around the margin of $14000. This can be considered to be the common thing that happen with bitcoin between certain time interval. This time the fluctuation was found to be in a massive level and hope the same will grow soon.

Strongly agree bitcoin is now down but still no need to be worry and try to hold your bitcoin till bitcoin price will reach its own price and level. If you will lose patience and will sell it then you will lose chance for high price of bitcoin.  It is true that bitcoin is high in price and till now bitcoin has gain a lot of potential now and will be back to its own position again if it is said to be loosed price currency, no worry just stay calm and wait.

I think this weaken just a correction and something very common in market. However, if bitcoin weakening more deeply then its true as you say that very wise if we need to buy more bitcoin.

Part of the cryptocurrency not only for bitcoin. Other or majority of the alts are also starting to fall and the percentage isn't that low most of them lost more than 10%. But bitcoin will back again and if ever you bought good bitcoin today at good price then that's going to be a great gain after a week or month.

Bitcoin price go down deeper today than these past few days, this might result to panic selling and will result to much lower price these coming days. Real smart cryptocurrency traders figure out this situation as an opportunity to acquired more Bitcoins and wait for more profit afterwards.

"Real smart cryptocurrency traders" won't buy it now as its price will fall at least 60% within next 2 weeks.

I'm expecting for it to happen and i think many people have expected this because the rapidly increasing price of bitcoin is unnatural so there's a correction that'll happen. But I'm sure that bitcoin will continue to grow and increase again.

BTC Will Go up 20.000$ in 1 month.

Anything is possible at this moment. Today's touchdown was at $10.4k

Bitcoin is usually going in a certain direction, there is a lot of coins being moved so that dump was kind of healthy for Bitcoin.

On telegram channels talks saying it's price will be stable on 15k for a couple of days, better it is, is it good for all .

the situation is difficult, but I agree to hold some bitcoin we have to develop it in increased altcoin, when looking at the gain in altcoin, we can sell it and put it back in bitcoin because bitcoin value has started to increase. .

Bitcoin is getting the correction that it deserves. That market you look at is only a short-term price.

It is very normal for digital currencies to decrease in value and then come back to previous value. As far as dumps of bitcoin are concerned, they are the shortest ones among the dumps of all digital currencies and bitcoin is dumping just because it needs to touch 20, 000 dollars by the end of December. It is very common for bitcoin to decrease little bit in value before it goes for some huge target. It is the best time to invest into it. 

Falling prices can’t decide bitcoin’s future because you do investment or buy some bitcoins just to earn profit. All the things get changed with time. Somehow bitcoin is going down today bit it does not mean that it never go up again. We faces ups and downs in our business as well as in our life too. Investors should have patience because bitcoin will increase its value in the starting of 2018. I am sure, next year will definitely be good for bitcoin.

It is sad to hear that bitcoin loses its value but this is for some specific time period not for always. Do not lose hope guys. According to me, it is a right time to buy bitcoins because they will surely go up in upcoming days. Few months back bitcoin was only $7000 USD in August but after few months later, it raised its value much and became of $18000 USD. So you guys do not need to worry about the price of bitcoin because they will rise bitcoin value in 2018 too.

it means that for the time being it has not risen, you need to make some investments and buy Bitcoin coins. Even a small increase in the price of oil will bring a good addition to income.

As if it were a tradition, bitcoin prices dropped at the end of the year and ahead of the new year. I estimate that bitcoin prices will rise back in March just as it happened one year ago. For some reason the cause? I do not know but maybe one of the reasons is that too many people are selling bitcoins for Christmas and New Year's Eve.
