Bitcoin Forum

With the recent drop of Bitcoin's value and the looming issue of fake ICO's in the crypto world. What do you think are the major players that affect the sudden rise and fall of crypto currencies?

The biggest factor affecting bitcoin prices is national policies.
Friendly policies will soon lead to a big increase in the market, and the start of national regulation will lead to a fall in the market.

I was also thinking of that issue also, but some wallets online realy dont require you to input what country you are in or ask if Bitcoin is legal in your country or not. I dont know if most of the coin owners are selling their Bitcoin now because of the fake ICO's that are fastly spreading accross the web and if it does have any effect on Bitcoin's value.

There was information that according to Thomas Lee, the drop in the price of bitcoin is always observed about 18 percent ten days before the expiration of the futures and lasts six days after that. This is, in principle, a reasonable explanation of the cause of the current drop of bitcoin, because explaining this by breaking into private purses on a little-known exchanger of Coinrail in South Korea, where four types of tokens for a total of more than $ 40 million were stolen, was somehow petty.

Yes, its the government policies primarilty has a great impact. Furthermore those FUD Fear Uncertainty Doubt news are affecting also a lot. Without clear ruling, cryptos will likely be in limbo and most will becone anonymous and go underground. I hope things will be get sorted out in order to have a clear direction of this new technology.

100% government..

they say bitcoin is property and should be taxed as such.. but when you try and buy and sell it privately you get arrested for money laundering and funding criminals..

I don't ICO have anything to do with the recent free fall, it's happening due to the volatility of the futures, and also the paper leaked by that professor has cause irreparable damage, they're saying bitcoins prices can be manipulated and which added weakness so for the time being we're bracing for a fallout but then don't loose hope its bitcoins it might just shoot up. We need to kill fud.

How the media reports information and who gives them that information. Not saying there is a conspiracy but it certainly seems like there is somebody working some puppeteer magic behind the scenes.

I agree,  any time there is some type of news about government banning or prohibiting Bitcoin or crypto currency you can feel right away the backlash. You will see the price dropping . I think many investors are concerned about government stopping Bitcoin. 
You may also add Giant companies banning crypto ads. Somehow they affected the price when they started creating a policy that they will ban crypto ads.

The government, no doubt... Every time there is any news about the crypto money market, the price of the whole crypto money market will fluctuate greatly, no matter it is good news or bad news.

ICOs aren't the reason but they generally speaking ICOs and all these pumped up shitcoins have been effective in the bitcoin price drop. it is mainly because people invest in all these shitcoins with bitcoin and they even buy ETH with bitcoin to invest in shitty ICOs. this means when all the ICOs and shitcoins go belly up people run away and they run away through bitcoin! meaning sell shitcoin for bitcoin then sell bitcoin for fiat and that creates a big sell pressure on bitcoin which pushes the price lower.

but it is not the reason for the drop it just makes it bigger. the reason in my opinion is pure manipulation by the whales to buy cheaper bitcoins.

There are a lot of factors affecting the price of bitcoin
1. The law of supply and demand
     The more people buy the lower the supply will be available in the market, the higher the price will be. If people keep on selling, the supply in the market will increase which means the demand for the coin is low so the price will decrease

2. Fud, fake and negative news combined with panic
     People who see negativity against bitcoin in the news will let go of their coin. The price will begin to lower down resulting for other people to panic and sell their coin further lowering the price.

Policy factors, this is also an important factor affecting the price of Bitcoin!
Technical and security factors have also seriously affected BTC's prices. When hackers attacked the exchanges, the prices of all cryptocurrencies fell!

Some countries have the greatest impact on BTC's prices for BTC's policies!
Bitcoin has gradually evolved into a safe haven asset, and the financial crisis will also cause BTC's price fluctuations!

Bitcoin price is determined by supply and demand. the affecting the rise and fall bitcoin because of many people are selling bitcoin and many people ang buying bitcoin their times if many people hodl bitcoin the price of bitcoina will increase.

I think BTC's attention has affected the price of BTC!
The higher the degree of concern, many people use it, causing the market demand to rise, BTC's prices rise, anyway, BTC's price fell!

This has been asked for hundred of times and even if this not happens at the dame time of asking the answer is always the same so i think next time just assume same answer

After the corrections and the Fud's and fake news,what's hurting the crypto community is the policies of every country's that having issue on us,those bannings and those regulation that killing some users using this

I don't think fake ICOs have any impact on Bitcoin price, same as successful genuine ICOs have no impact. It's about the people who buy and sell, mostly for speculation

I think it's because of the good and bad news about Bitcoin. News is one of the factors that influence the price movement significantly. Bitcoin users who hear negative news about Bitcoin, will feel panic and eventually sell their Bitcoin to secure the assets. As a result, Bitcoin's price will drop due to large-scale sales of Bitcoin. Vice versa, if there is positive news about Bitcoin then many users who make purchases. Of course with the purchase of Bitcoin on a large scale impacted drastic price increases.

The most reasonable factor that i think is random selling of bitcoin by maximum ratio will led to decrease in price of bitcoin and when the selling of bitcoin does not flucluate remains at constant rate the value start getting increase.

I think this has been asked before and one of the biggest reason for it are caused by several news.

Wait what? it's bitcoin so basically it will affect itself.

Most of what I saw are all about the negative news. These medias won't give the detailed good news but in bad news, they are quick.

Bitcoin is an investment that is supply and demand based, it is dependent to the investors movement or human behavior and that’s why rise and fall of its price is normal or expected as it is.

Then factors of what makes a human invest is more likely with government approval, good positive feedback and higher profitability chances. So every mainstream and social media news is important it’s either positive or negative it can affect to investor and to the market price.

I think one of the reasons why the value of bitcoin is rising and falling is because of transaction involving it. I think that if a large number of bitcoin users process transactions every period of time also affect its rise and fall of value.

I think the following factors affecting the rise and fall of bitcoin's value.
1 one of the most common factor comes in mind is random selling of bitcoin by individuals.
2 another factor i think is some pause in trading.

most of the factors that are about regulation in various countries that make bitcoin itself so unstable

since bitcoin value is determined by supply and demand and the demand is ultimately set by the number of buyers who are willing to buy more bitcoins..so in my judgement the availability of local retail brokers is the major factor

The factors affecting the rise and fall of Bitcoin values are, decreasing demand and Bitcoin supply and increasing, the  Influence of media on garnering negative and positive publicity news, developers and  Bitcoin users influence also rise and fall of price, latest technology upgrade and changes .
They can affect the rise and fall of Bitcoin value.

For something that can affect the price rise and fall of bitcoin usually occurs when panic selling or panic buying, and news of the world economy or world security is very influential in terms of bitcoin prices.

The price bubble is very influential in the increase and decrease in the price of bitcoin or other crypto, but we need not fear or worry in the price decline, because I believe the price will be able to recover.

Bitcoin was built on a blockchain network, which means it is used to transfer funds online across borders without passing through any bank, this network gets stronger as more users are added and the transaction volume increases, it runs on the essential rule of the economics of demand and supply which decides the value.

In my own opinion, there are different speculations that are actually existing today which can change the price value's in the market either it will increase or decrease because every speculations is affecting the mind set of traders and investors.

The main factors are mining platform, trading platform of Bitcoin. Because demand and supply is major role in Crypto rise and fall so these two are the good resource in Bitcoin potential. But no one is expect this price fluctuation so this will change soon.

it seems that can make bitcoin prices rise and fall is the existence of politics, good news and the existence of traders who have a very large trading capital, when there is good news prices will surely rise whereas if there is only bad news prices will fall and the panic traders can also make the price worse.

We could say that bitcoin is the result of simple economics but it's not so simple to decide the value of bitcoin, if it had been, bitcoin would not have existed, many other variables such as government involvement are involved for example the recent lift of the ban from Germany had increased the price of bitcoin,
