What is happening? BTC is dropping again? Marketing cap is getting smaller again.

I think this will be the case this time, the market continues to fluctuate, to be extended to March. Bitcoin holders are constantly selling at this time and want more people to take over because the bitcoin price is too high in 2017, attracting too many people's attention and many are predicting a lot of Money added to the cryptocurrency world.

You must be new.  No judgement though.

Yeah cryptos are a volatile market but thats only due to fear and uncertainty.  Soon there will be regulation and the market will be more stable.

Just keep holding and don't let fear make your decisions.

If you want good investment advice, here's a Telegram channel that has really good info:

@charteroakpublic

They have leaks from premium sources like Palm Beach confidential and what not.

Thank you all. I thought something happened to make the price for down again. I will just hold it.

heyy man, that is a whales plays.
Stay strong you, don't lose to them.
Show them that you didn't budge with their play.
If you still have faith, lets believe in bitcoin.

What is happening? well, the happenings now is about the rising of bitcoin in our economy. Many people are encourage to join Bitcoins since it offers many opportunity to people. Many business minded are also encouraged to be part of bitcoins since they believe that bitcoins can help them succeed specially in the field of trading. People are now aware of what bitcoins are. Because of this there are many people who are members of this crypto currencies.

Well, This kind of happenning is always expected. Bitcoin is volatile and the price depended in the demand. If the demand decreases, Well, expected that the price also dropped. But during price decreasing, try to buy bitcoin and sell it for higher prices. If you try to do this, i assure you that even the Bitcoin's price decreasing, your profit will never loose and it will gain a lot.

Then it's a good to buy at dips again. market movement moves so strage nowadays, better wait and see or if you are a risk taking investor it's good to buy more and more

Because maybe the fake news that spreads the bitcoin is about to be abolished, so maybe bitcoin's value drops too well. But I think that's a bit of bitcoin, so bitcoin is always up and down, so it's easy for you to turn bitcoin upside down.

If you look at the trends over the past 3 years you will see that the market has actually dropped in January every year since 2015. This gives a good opportunity to get invested for gains in the remaining 11 months of the year. The other possibility is that money within the crypto sphere is moving towards ICO as a way to generate profits rather than sitting in BTC.

News of coincheck : A cryptocurrency exchange in Japan is coming under government scrutiny after it said hackers stole $530 million from its users. This news is going to affect bitcoins price in the coming few days. It is going to reduce the confidence people have in keeping bitcoins on exchange and we are going to witness a lot of bitcoins selling .

OP just hold your coins then always think positive that's you need if you do investing here in crypto because the price is so volatile you only need to rely in news,traders,investors and speculation of everyone here in forum trust us the price of btc will go really high soon another thing the price of btc is really going down now but still it's so high compared when i start in 2017.

Sure market cap is getting smaller right now but in the grand scheme of things it has gotten much bigger this past year. Always look in the grand scheme, the day to day fluctuations don't mean much.

I think good opportunity to invest bitcoin, but you need more money to hod bitcoin a long time .  :D. I trust the price of bitcoin will grow in the future ;)

well this kind of happening is not new from the start bitcoin is dropping and increasing so i think that is not a problem.

There seems to be no bad news about bitcoin.
Just because into encryption cryptocurrency market investors lost confidence, so in the short term, may be encrypted cryptocurrency market does not have a large gains, the arrival of the march may to change all that. >:(

It’s just how the market moves. Don’t try too look to into it, try to look at it at a broader subject.

You will get lost in the details if you try to figure out what’s happening and why it is. Look at it at a 3rd view and judge it from there.

Dropping value of bitcoin happened every year and it is not shocking to some people, but the only difference is that, it really drops a huge amount of money which made other people come up with the idea of bitcoin crash. Investors, some traders suffered from loss of money because of bitcoin's price today. On the other side, if you ever read an article make sure it is reliable because to be honest, there are lots of fake articles saying that bitcoin will be banned in the future and cannot be used anymore.

Bitcoin prices hit a record high of $ 7,879 / BTC on Nov. 8, as investors expect the upgrade of SegWit2x software, scheduled for November 16, to help investors save money. transaction costs and increased transaction processing capabilities. However, Bitcoin fell below $ 7,000 / BTC on Nov. 10. Bitcoin has fallen 15% from nearly $ 6,500 / BTC to $ 5,577 / BTC before recovering to $ 6,400 / BTC.

Bitcoin has soared because developers have delayed upgrading the SegWit2x software because of fears of possible divisions within the Bitcoin community.

As planned, this software upgrade aims to reduce costs and speed up Bitcoin transaction processing to overcome the limitations of the Bicoin trading system in processing millions of Bitcoin transactions per day. Currently, this system has not met the growth rate of the Bitcoin market and can not handle transactions at a fast enough rate.

Just another normal day in crypto. I would have loved to see btc keep on rising when it hit $20k, but that wouldn't have been realistic and not healthy for the market. History has shown that January is not a good month for bitcoin but it rallys back and will reach a new ath. Just keep hodling.

BTC trade volume is low because of the transaction fee is too high. It is dominated by the big players now.

But don't forget how fast the price went in few weeks; so it is relatively strong that it did not drop to the value it was like in October for example. I think it is doing quite well and of course a drop is expected. On the other hand crypto is gaining strong momentum it is highly expected to see the greens again soon

I think it's a good start for btc investing a standard price for us to buy and wait for the future to sell it.

what happened to bitcoin ?. the price of bitcoin is not secure. what makes the bitcoin why it happens sometimes falls but it may rise and stay at that price. Bitcoin's price went up from $800 USD to $20k USD in the last year for no logical reason whatsoever (it actually became far less usable as a currency). Why do you expect a logical reason for it dropping from $20k to $15k? I wouldn't be surprised if it dropped all the way back to $800.

Why you all guys worrying about its price whether it increases or decreases if at the first place before entering on this is you probably know about the fluctuation and bitcoin contains a high volatility? Every week im seeing a post about its dropping price like can you post something more interesting ?

Well, we all know that anything can happen in this cryptocurrency and also the price of the token and coin. We dont know when the price is going high or low. I think the main reason why the price of bitcoin is going low again is because of the some investor that cash out thier balance of bitcoin.

I think Bitcoin price decline stage has ended and now it is passing recovery stage after a huge flactuation. Stability is expected. Very soon it may recover its price.

It will get smaller don't worry it's not something new i mean come on last year end had the best bullish trend for btc as well as alts , it turned well for many while some even lost 300 btc in margin trading. There are still doubts among last year investors weather they should reinvest or forget crypto.
Well if you got free cash lying around it's a good time to enter else if you purchased at a higher price hold.

The third bitcoin bubble burst.  The first one was in 2011: up from $0.1 in 2010, x300 to $30 in summer 2011, burst and /10 down to $3 half a year later.  The second was end of 2013: up from the previous $3 in 2011, x400 all the way up to near $1200 and burst /6 down to about $200 in 2015.  The third one is just behind us: up from that $200 in 2015, x100 all the way up to near $20 000.  We don't know how low it will go.  If history is an indication, down to a few $1000 in a year or two years.  

It is normal bubbly behaviour for a pyramid-style asset such as bitcoin.  The reason is that bitcoin has been, since its inception, a "get-rich-quickly" pyramid game, where you can acquire coins for not much effort in the beginning, and sell them to greater fools at high ROI later.  Each time, you get a larger set of greater fools that buy at the top, and pay for all the benefit of the previous gamblers.  These greater fools get burned, and it takes time for them to accept their losses.  Until they've sold with losses in the market, and heal their wounds, downwards pressure stops from price rising.  When the last army of greater fools has sold out and accepted their losses, however, bitcoin's set for the next set of greater fools, and the speculative game starts again.  Rinse and repeat.  It will stop when one runs out of greater fools.  Potentially, the world's population that has sufficient money to gamble.  

If you're convinced there's yet another bubble in the making (it may take a few years: the periods between bubbles get larger), you might make a lot of money by buying in.  Not yet (even though it doesn't matter: if after the 2011 bubble, you bought in at $15 to see it fall down to $3, you could still have made a lot of benefit at the $1200 bubble ; and if you bought in at $800 after the $1200 bubble, you might still have made a lot of benefit at the last $20 000 bubble).  Note that the next one may take a few years if ever.

If, of course, this has been the last one, you're a dodo, but slightly less than the fools that bought at $18 000 of course :)

Yes you should hold, the situation will go stable for sure.

Hey, keep calm, anything gonna be okay. look back, look through history and price of bitcoin you will understand this.

Yes I am also worried, and little bit tired, i am looking the prices every day, and everyday stressed :/

The more you in bitcoin area, the more often you will see the same situation: Dropping price down and then raising up. Last time it was -30% and then +70%

Bitcoin is not only declining recently, but many people say it will fall further in the coming years, there may be a 100% to 0% change in Bitcoin and this is making it hard for the beginning. They are worried about their money Crypto coins have a significant influence on the community and Bitcoin is the most popular in the developed world.

It went too high too quickly.  I am waiting for a big drop so I can buy and make some profit.  And then a lot of people can buy and have a chance of a profit.  Not just whales. 

What I can suggest is relax, do not panic. The dip that we are seeing these past few weeks are natural, Bitcoin is volatile but based on the years data, am sure bitcoin value will increse and go up in the coming months and will reach its all time high.

I think it's just a slack period, nothing interesting right now so the weak sell

In current market all the cryptocurrencies are dropped in the market. But it is just a common issues in the crypto market because many investors are prefer tokens in the market. So most of the tokens are developing in current scenario and the demands also increase in some potential tokens. I think this also one of the issue in market and another problem is south Korea government fixing the taxes in cryptocurrency so some investors are drop the Bitcoin investment so it is also affected in cryptocurrency.

Why does everybody keeps on saying it is low.
The problem: We got so much used to the price where it was almost in heaven.
But when you really summarize it, this is still way up.

Before we throw a fuss like this then maybe we should be looking at the graphs.
You will see the bitcoin flow in just weeks while it took months to get up to a $1000.

The temporary phenomenon that we have observed many times in recent times, as a result, bitcoin is still growing.

yes, I say this is normal, because BTC is unstable and this natural correction will run for 5 or 6 months ahead, so I hope you do not have to panic and worry anymore with this bitcoin fluctuation event.
if you as a baghodler should be patient or buy bitcoin again. so after the bitcoin goes up, then you will big harvest.

I think many investors are selling their Bitcoins now because the Bitcoin in 2017 is very high but when the 2018 enters the price drops because of holidays they needed their money. They start investing 2017 the value on that year is very high but now a days the Bitcoin is dropping they think that it is a scam but its just only many investors start selling. The perfect time to buy Bitcoin is now. Then wait for the price increase to sell it.

The current situation and price volatility in BTC could possibly be the cause of whales manipulating the price due to the futures expiring contracts. It is also possible that profit taking from those who invested last year and had a target of 1 year is not yet done. To resist this bloodbath, you just have to either accumulate and buy more BTC because of the lower price or hold what you have and focus on your goal/target price. It won't be a loss if you don't sell.

There is nothing to worry about, such movements on the market are normal. Especially for the cryptocurrencies.
And I think the BTC will soon not reach the December levels.

Buy this dip. BTC now up and down and up and down in range 10.1k$ to 11.8k$. So let buy now and sell when it near 12k if you are day trader.
Else HODL.

This is a normal situation , you have days when bitcoin goes up and you have days when it goes down  :)

all of this remeber me what happened in 2014/2015, when price keep going down without any reason. But for who didn't sell, big money have comed.

I think it will happened again, maybe in 2019 or 2020...

I am new to this space, but I realise that this goes with the territory. If you are in  it for the long term, don't let the volatility distract you.

very fine.. look at the trends over the past 3 years you will see that the market has actually dropped in January every year since 2015. This gives a good opportunity to get invested for gains in the remaining 11 months of the year.

...so best of luck crypto currency friends!

They can be obtained for a variety of operations and actions on the network. And not all of them require at least understanding of the essence of the crypto currency and the economic component of buying and selling currency.

Imo market is been manipulated by wrong people and icos need to be regulated asap.

Bitcoin price is always fluctuating because of news and speculation. I find this explaining reason behind the last price drop:

I don't agree that there is nothing to worry about.  I think the market going constantly up and down and never knowing what to expect not even from one day to the next but one hour to the next must affect people thinking about investing.  I am not investing just now.  But other folk might make a different decision.  So I am not spreading fud.

Ok. It looks like this thread is opened last January 30 and the OP is worried about the price of bitcoin going down. Fast forward and almost 2 months, we are still in the bearish market.

However, it looks like we are heading in a positive direction. Because I thought that $9K is not possible at the end of the week, but it looks like I"m wrong because we are almost there. Such good news coming from the G20 meeting that investors are pouring their hard earn money in the ecosystem. So I might chance my prediction and see $9K before the end of the week and possible $10K at the start of April, and start of a bullrun that we all have been waiting for.

Many are so concern with these ICO's but I think it's better that they should focus with bitcoin and stop investing in these ICO's.  G20 summit seems to be effective and positive to the crypto market now and bitcoin is starting to recover and if this goes until $10,000 then that's the time that many will consider it again going back from it's high price. About the ICO's, there are countries that are already regulating it like the US' SEC.

Things are actually going well now especially since we heard the good news from the G20 summit concerning the fact that Bitcoins is not a threat to the world economy and am sure that because of that those who were panic selling have stopped and now it’s rising once again.

I think it's a conspiracy of a group of individuals to lower the price of bitcoin and buy it at a low price

This sort of happening is constantly anticipated. Bitcoin is unstable and the cost depended in the request. In the event that the request diminishes, Well, expected that the cost likewise dropped. Be that as it may, amid cost diminishing, endeavor to purchase bitcoin and offer it at higher costs. On the off chance that you attempt to do this, I guarantee you that even the Bitcoin's cost diminishing, your benefit will never free and it will pick up a ton.
