How is the value of a cryptocurrency determined and where can we see it? suggest some interesting ICO investments that you came across...

The value is determined by some sort of average between the price people are asking if a seller wants to buy and the price the wants to pay for that Bitcoin. Shorter: supply and demand.
But I guess that you know this and want more. You should have searched. For example, a nice answer comes from 2013 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=261866.0).
You can search more with google using something like value of bitcoin site:bitcointalk.org

As in any other market in the crypto market, the rule of supply and demand applies. Of course, for crypto-currencies there are nuances and there are a lot of them you need to understand if you want to invest profitably.

basically the value of cryptocurrency is determined by the demand and supply of the market price. before being able to invest in ICO should do detailed research on the project, many interesting ICO projects and can provide many benefits if we can invest in them. suggestions and recommendations of people can indeed be an option but the most important to decide before you can invest in a big project, only yourself can decide it by understanding the white book provided by the ico project

the value of cryptocurrency depends on the investor if the purchase or demand is very high I think the price will move up if bigger sales of course the price will decrease

Valuing a cryptocurrency is difficult to do beyond supply and demand. We can work in the growth of the money supply as a factor of supply, but demand is hard to calculate with accuracy.

And to be fair, fiat currency is hard to value as well, but fiat currency has the strength of the Nation it represents (e.g., gross domestic product, trade balance, etc.) Cryptocurrency doesn't have that and at large fiat currency is only backed by the full faith and credit of the country that issues it.

Another criteria that complicates crypto valuations is the global scale of the network. News is a great indicator of the strength or weakness of an investment, however those markets are usually localized. A global market is immensely difficult to monitor or assess how much one negative news item may impact demand globally.

Habbear actually explains it pretty well in terms of supply and demand. But you can not count out the news/propaganda that the news reporters churn out which can dramatically effect the price. When mtgox was hacked the value fluctuated a lot.

There is no central authority that determines the price of something, the value of something in a free market it is always an agreement between the buyer which is willing to pay a certain price for an asset and the seller which is willing to sell his asset for a price, so the price you see in the market is nothing but the current agreement between buyers and sellers but this can change at any time for any reason.

The coinmarketcap shows the track of bitcoin price and all every other coin. You'll be seeing how the price changed from time to time. It will alsi help you to have a wise guesse on what to do with your investment. Basically the price changes depending on how the holders handle their coin less dumper and greater buyer means increase in price.

if I also do not agree if the bitcoin price in tetepkan gan.
just my suggestion bitcoin price if it rises little by little.
so also if the price again down should be gradually do not jump free.

Well in determinating the crypto value it is good to base or rely on cryptomarket. There are a lot of different crypto that has already the value but unfortunately the value of all crypto is always volatile. It always fluctuating ups and downs so it is better that you can be much active and keeping your eyes into it so you can immediately doing a better action for that.

Its quite easy to determine value of crypto currency when you will buy something with crypto that time you will know the value of it also the  facilities if you need more suggestion you can see in website for better result also ICO is related with project which encourage people to invest.

The value of the cryptocurrency is determined from demand and supply, when high demand it will make the value of cryptocurrency will increase, and vice versa. To see the value of cryptocurrency you can see it from the market.

This thing is all about crypto market and this is like stck market if you understand share market then it will be understandable too because based on market data or news you can know about how to determine value also this is related with sellers and buyers transactions.

I think it depends on the demand and supply position of the coin. If demands are high then price will increase and if demands are fall down price will decrease. Good coins demands are always increase that’s why these coins price are high.

The value of cryptocurrency is dependant upon many factors. Among them, the demand and supply of coins plays a major role. Besides many other factors also play role.

There are so many factors a\that are responsible to determine the value of cryptos. I think, demand supply, future prospect and growth are initially responsible for the value determinations.

as in any other market, demand generates supply, the more promising the crypto currency, the more its price

Mainly the value of cryptocurrency is determined my making some sort of average between the price asked by the people whether a seller wants to buy and the price they want to pay for the bitcoin.

In cryptocurrencies the price is determined only by demand/supply nothing more.
the instrinsic value of an asset in general or cryptocurrencies in determined by other factors!
usually in the long run the price of an asset should correspond to its instrinsic value!!
So, recap : price in short term is determined simply by demand and supply movements.
in the long term the price is determined by the instrinsic value of the asset!
cheers!

Like any other goods and services, Bitcoin has its price determined on its real value and the demand and supply. But at present, when the value is inflated, I think the demand and supply will mostly determine how much Bitcoin is. There are many factors affecting the demand and supply, for example, statements from experts, bad or good news released, etc.

The valuation of bitcoin is determined by several factors and all factors plays a very crucial role in determining the valuation of bitcoin and if we clearly look at the valuation of bitcoin then we will come to know that market demand and supply plays a most crucial role in determining the valuation of bitcoin and then comes the number of people investing into bitcoin and the amount of capital they are investing and then yes here comes the most important role of bitcoin whales who use to invest in bulk in bitcoin.

The practical application, the technology it gives users will determine the value of the electronic currency. Bitcoin, for example, gives users the blockchain technology 1.0, a new technology, along with a means of payment.

Unlike other currencies whose price is determined by central authorities, Bitcoin is priced according the demand and supply rules. As for the question where we can see its price, I recommend the website coinmarketcap. Keeping tabs on its price will give you hints to decide sell or buy. 

As per my opinion and belief the value of crypto is determined on following factors:

Crypto coins are being issued through ICOs .  People are investing in these issue after checking the future plans projects and team members.  If the plans and projects seem to be earning profits by its activities then many people will be attracting to buy it's coins.

Many coins do not find any seekers and so the ICOs may fail.  But on the other hand because of the quality of project the applicants buy the tokens in queues. 

Then these coins are available in the market for sale and  purchase.  Demand for good quality coins remains high and so the price is high but the demand for low quality projects is very low so not so many people want to buy these coins.  So the demand for such coins is very low and ultimately the price will be very low 

Speculators also play major role by spreading different news at different times which affects price movements. 

The cryptocurrencies are depends on the demands in the market because the high and low price is unexpectedly change and still the value of the coins will make the world better and progressive.

the value of the cryptocurrencies is depend on the popularity, and we can see that the popularity in the public is depend by the impact in the public, so if the project makes the good impact for many people i think the coin will have a great value, but if its not i think the cryptocurrencies doesn't have a good value

Crypto currency is a digital currency that uses cryptographic technology for security that makes it impossible to forge. The price value of pure cryptocurrency is determined by the market forces of demand and supply of users of this technology.

Cryptocurrency price is always determines by the demand of the project  ,if there is much demand the price will rise but if there is no demand the price continue to stay same or decline...

Demand of cryptocurrency makes supply, so if there is no demand in market they wont be supply which forces the prices to be volatile based on the rules.

90% of the replies here are just repeating the same thing: "Supply and Demand". although that is correct but it is not all there is when it comes to determining price  of "altcoins and tokens".

since these coins have no real usage and no real value their prices are determined based on hype and the pump and dumps they have. in short it is based on manipulation. there is no real demand for them so all there is, is speculative demand  that has come based on that hype and pump that was going on. and will go out just as easily and fast.

It is completely on how people value them. But the sad thing here is that no one guarantees its value unlike local currencies which have some sort of companies and countries to back them up. There also many factors affecting bitcoin indirectly since no one could control it like government news, FUD and other improvements to the network.

The value of crypto is set based on bitcoin value and the high demand of people on the coin. You can see the price list of all the coins listed on Coin Market Cap.

The value of the crypto money is determined by the bitcoin value and the high demand of the person on the coin. To view the list of listed coin prices, you can take a look at Coin Market Cap.

Well, virtual money is known as crypto. We invest on crypto to get a profit. Investors are increasing for crypto. It is easy to understand that crypto will be the future currency. And you can see the value of yesterday and today. You can simply understand its value.

I value them by what they offer that cannot be gained anywhere else. Whether that is the original bitcoin, which showed us the way and is supported by a giant team of our best coders, or something that promises and gives privacy and fungibility, or something that offers what is similar to a stock or security, i.e., a sort of share in a venture.

Value or price?

Price of crypto's are determined through the total money that was in there. Law of supply and demand, market cap and speculations too.

You can check all of them on coinmarketcap.com , for supply(coin circulation) and demand(volume on exchanges).

The value determine of cryptocurrencies base to the investors if the purchase or demand is very high and it's good based on cryptomarket the value is always volatile and demand of supply when the demand is high will make the value of cryptocurrency will increase.

When value is rising, I think demand and supply will largely determine. There are many factors that influence demand and supply, for example, reports from experts, bad news or good releases. For example, Bitcoin, which provides users with blockchain technology 1.0, a new technology, along with a means of payment. For the question that we can see the price of it, I recommend the coinmarketcap site.
