Bitcoin Forum

the first bitcoin can have a high price because the market demand for bitcoin is very high one reason is because bitcoin is becoming popular and is starting to be accepted by the global market, the growth of crypto activists is very high even bitcoin is becoming a new trend among global society and hence crypto value is soaring but now bitcoin has begun to lose its appeal especially there are many coin competitors that will distract investors from bitcoin not to mention because the spread of bitcoin is increasing along with the increasing number of bitcoin inventories generated from the blockchain system and of course it will greatly affect prices because bitcoin loses value he added rather than other coins, namely "scarcity of supply"
then the question is what will make bitcoin recover and can have high prices again?

Supply of any coin does really effect the price as is the basic rule of economics but btc already has a small and limited supply and for miners block reward gets halvened every 4 years i guess and next is coming in 2020 i guess, so hold till that and im sure we are going to moon with btc after next halving.

Your reasons itself are not clear or durable enough
But I can inform you that the introduction of other altcoins does not affect the price of bitcoin
Bitcoin is in a world of its own and is not dependent on anything

So basically let’s just focus on the basics and follow up the developments and Adoption
Have fun always

I do not think other altcoins affect the rise or the fall of bitcoin. Bitcoin still remains the king of other coins, and it majorly decides the hope of other coins. Once bitcoin rises, other coins also rise. But, I guess there is a declination in Bitcoin investment. Perhaps that's the reason for its fall. I think things are beginning to change.

bitcoin is still the biggest attraction in the world of cryptography even when there are a lot of coins that arise because basically bitcoin is the best and most potential investment, especially because the supply is very limited and cannot be added, in my opinion it is the main factor until the supply of bitcoin is mined, because at that time you will see the value of bitcoin soaring

"what will make bitcoin recover and can have high prices again?"

For price to increase, there should also be an increase in demand.
Now, what will make more people buy bitcoin? I have no specific answer. Each will have their own reason.
But what can possibly make people buy is a crypto-friendly environment (including government regulations)

It's hard for me to elaborate what you want to say and this made me stop my breath long enough, if you know what I mean. As for the title what will make bitcoin to recover. Basically, nothing - it can recover on its own as you mentioned the scarcity of supply, yes that's one reason that can make bitcoin recover again.

It's 21 million supply limit makes it more precious and thinking of how many are lost forever, the circulating supply is getting lesser and we will face halving by 2020.

There is no any specific factor for Bitcoin recovery, It will recover on its own if the demand increases. What I personally think is if some big investor is ready to make huge investment in BTC then there will be a change for sure as demand will increase automatically and the value will pump.

Indeed. There is no factor for the bitcoin recovery and the thing which recover bitcoin is their community who are raising it or dumping it.

Accepting it as a world currency, this is the main reason for which it will show us record numbers again.

having different altcoins does not affect bitcoin,it is better to have different coin so that we can make our choice.increase in demand of bitcoin and increase in acceptability will surely increase the price of bitcoin.

If bitcoin can have more uses than it is being used now, then the demand will surely increase and recover. Good news is a factor also but it has not a long-term effect.

development of some other coin to me has nothing to do with the price of bitcoin,once we have increase in demand of bitcoin,the price will surely soar high.

Bitcoin needs a lot of traded fund to be accepted by regulators and this can attract a lot of institutional investors to buy back crypto again. A lot of people are losing their trust in the bitcoin due to the price manipulation by whales or big players. Bitcoin needs a lot of support on the legal aspect.

Factors affecting the price of BTC exist. The fact is that we do not know which factors are the strongest. Until now, someone is talking about supply and demand, and someone about the masters of the market. For us, it will always remain intractable.

only time!

every other factor is already in place. the adoption is growing and bitcoin is functioning perfectly while it is still being improved and with additions such as lightning network it will even become a serious threat to the banking system and all the big payment processors.

right now only time is required so that the whale manipulators are satisfied with their accumulation of cheap bitcoin before they can lift the dumping pressure and price can shoot up like 2017 again.

I got dizzy with how the sentence was created.
Damn I didnt even breathe for I dont know where it will stop.  ;D

Look first of all we cannot answer questions if they arent stated clearly. I mean we cannot use your paragraph as a basis for it is hard to understand.
Simply putting "?", "." will help a lot.

The last question though could be answered.

It is "time" which will help bitcoin.
They are too much in a hurry for bitcoin to be accepted by the world and so they created their own which is so wrong. Why not just help in making it more popular and also being used by merchants instead of creating something and doing the same thing over and over?

Isnt that too stupid?
Well, it cannot be stopped now but we still have the possibility to make it.
Too many scam coins and ICOs were created and so this just proves that bitcoin is the safest.

All that can affect the price of bitcoin's capitalization, which, until recently, constantly falling!

Bitcoin price recovery is very simple, only the ETF needs to pass immediately. This will cause Bitcoin to increase by up to 50% or 100% overnight! Although I am not very optimistic now, I think this is the best way.

I don't think Bitcoin has lost its appeal, but its price is still high, which has led many ordinary investors not to buy bitcoin. But the fall in prices will gradually change this fact.

For Bitcoin to be able to recover it needs a mass adoption, I mean Bitcoin is already popular but some people still don't want to get involved to it in many reason and one of the reason is legality in some locations. But the biggest solution for this is for countries to create regulations about cryptocurrencies and since many countries still don't have law and regulations there are people that are still afraid to adopt cryptocurrencies. If governments will post a good regulations, there will be more traders and investors will be tempted to enter the market.

I think the attractiveness of Bitcoin will appear as soon as clarity emerges among investors as to practically and in what areas Bitcoin will probably be used. The times of speculation seem to have passed.

The Bakkt exchange is going to make crypto currencies great again and this within the upcoming few months. However I have heard, that the Bakkt launch is going to be prolonged till the second quarter of 2019.

Well, BTC requires big players for investment as it has dropped very badly this year its has lost significance of the investors. It needs to play a vital role for a recovery atleast if it want to see it in a stable position.

technology, bitcoin is a very revolutionary invention and many parties are not ready for its presence, so calling bitcoin is fraudulent and useless, but look at the next few years

This comes new institutional investors, people, corporations, banks,and most importantly the approval of the SEC and regulators of all countries, which will give an official start and a new world, and an open road, which will go to major players and corporations, so these factors will be key, as already everywhere say about the fact that the blockchain is the future,

bitcoin will recover only if it gets support in terms of volume, investor confidence in bitcoin and other cryptocurrency must comeback soon

in the short-term? Probably fresh capital from the institutional investors that are waiting on the sidelines for a regulatory framework to be in place in the first semester iof 2019. They could also be waiting for the several events that we'll see in related to Bitcoin and cryptos in Q1 of next year, for example, the Bitcoin ETF, the Fidelity crypto trading platform, or the launch of Bakkt. All of them have the potential to attract big investors.

Now, in the long-term, probably the adoption phase, as more people get involved with bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, demand will increase which will spark a new wave of FOMO resulting in the price going up and probably reaching new ATH's.

The volume of Bitcoin is still the highest to date, but no one knows why prices always go down, is this the reason there is no more trust by investors.

By bitcoin recovering I believe you mean a spike in its current price. Actually right now, the reason why everything is on a stand still is because adoption is very slow and almost negligible mainstream. But with the current rumours on ground, if actualized, then the market will recover with a massive boom. A popular international school  started accepting BTC and ETH as payment for masters in cryptocurrency for Business management students. Big news like this will definitely cause a positive uptrend.

This type of question had been asked in this forum for more 1000 times and bitcoin proved its potential every time since then. One simple answer is, in next 20 to 25 years, one bitcoin may value half the billion. It may sound unrealistic to you and most of the people in this forum but that is the real fact and may happen in some year around 2040. Believing in to such an predictable value for bitcoin must be the factor which I am still holding in my heart so that I am deliberately expecting that bitcoin prices to recover anytime soon.

Prices are going down due to the reasons of market manipulators and innocent traders who are listening to FUDs. Bitcoin is being trusted by many financial institutions and lots of individual investors around the world and that is the reason prices are still three times higher than what we had by the end of 2016.

as we all know that there are times when Bitcoin used to be very expensive but along with the development of crypto launching new coins, which caused price or demand instability. New investors continue to grow and currently many projects fail, this is probably the worst year of Crypto. I don't really understand Crypto's philosophy, but I believe crypto is a good future.

I think he is right partially. Instead investors focus on Bitcoin only, now they invest in other alcoins. That makes the market cap of bitcoin decrease significantly.

In my opinion, $20k is not the real value of bitcoin, because this price is reached by FOMO effect, at least in 2017. So I think the current price is not a "low" price as we think.

From what i understand that applied on all of the cryptocurrency (not just bitcoin) something that able to rise the price of every coins are, the demand on the coins, the more investors making their investment on a coins, that way will pull up the price of a coins.

Yep, it's just the usual market cycle.  It's not like it really needs to recover from anything substantial.  Would be nice for security be better and easier to use.  But that's not why the price is where it is right now.  People keep using bitcoin.  I use it regularly.  It's just a mater of psychological energy and momentum.  Bitcoin will pick up again.  No worries here.

I'm sure bitcoin will recover on its own ,altcoins has nothing to do with bitcoin ,they run on different chain and remember that it will always be the number one on the list ,if any altcoins is capable then it should have top the list by now ,so bitcoin is doing very fine

As what you have said yes, it needs a big amount of mass adoption which one of this are investors and the legality of bitcoin in which government in every country is the only one who can make it possible, besides we all crypto users can get benefits of in the near future. Bitcoin is already popular by now, due to the price right now we all know that there's a good and bad possibilities that can bring to us.

It seems that from tomorrow Bitcoin may cease to exist. I still can not believe it. They write that tomorrow Bitcoin and ethereum can merge together and form a new coin - bithereum.
For those who also can not believe it, I give the link: https://bithereum.network.
I still see that this will be a complete revolution in our understanding of cryptocurrency. True, most likely that the bithereum will appear along with the existence of our traditional Bitcoin and ethereum, as it always has been in such cases.

The supply and demand logic is one of the primary reasons why I strongly believe that Bitcoin will recover in a big way, but this will take a lot of time which is why investors need to stay patient.

Forget the ETF proposals since I feel none of them will spark any kind of rally in the future and screw the theories about Bitcoin merging with other coins since I find such theories laughable.

Bitcoin has lost the trust of many people. Many of the crypto currency projects failed. New and powerful projects are a must for Bitcoin to grow again. In this way the demand increases again and the Bitcoin is strengthened.

Actually stable or massive demand and supply in the market is the real key for bitcoin to recover,  but unfortunately it's impossible to happen because more people nowadays always complain and spreading false information which is really affect in bitcoin value. And probably this scenario will always happen in the future  and there's no chances for great and stable growth rate IMO because of some factors as well that always suddenly exist.

This is just my opinion, I guess the thing that will make the bitcoin recover again is a set of good ICO's in the market, in this case, if these ICOS will just allow payment through bitcoin, the bitcoin will have a huge demand to reach ATH again.

Yes, of course this is one way to increase the value of bitcoin, that is by having a new, stronger project, so that in that way bitcoin will slowly recover and become strong again.

Actually coins condition depend how good people trust and developer promotion. Trust can make supply and demand keep running, promotion will help create new users. Every opinion we see is only prediction and that's can be true or false because market can't predictable. Most people will leave red market but people with better knowledge will take part into bitcoin market with wise calculation.

The most likely factor that will see an increase in Bitcoin is a flood of new investment into crypto, and for this Bitcoin is still the dominant coin and will be the first place that any new money seeks as an investment. Recent regulation has seen a greater acceptance and this coupled with mainstream investment interest will be the probable catalyst for the next bull phase.

I also think bitcoin represents a very good alternative in finance,  personal finance,  investment and trading!  The demand for Bitcoin presently is nothing compare to what it will be in future.  Bitcoin will keep developing and growing and this will bring more resources to bitcoin!

I don't think bitcoin has lost the trust of many people, and I am sure there is many more still trust bitcoin because they learn from the history. People only lost their faith in bitcoin because they are losing their money now and most of them are the new investor in 2017. They are attracting into bitcoin because they think that bitcoin is a fast way to get huge money but they wrong, they don't think about the fluctuating of the bitcoin price. And if they can be patient for a while, I am sure they will not lose their trust in bitcoin.

the influence of the request and also the technology of crypto is increasingly accepted by the market will be the things that make crypto included here could rise. bitcoin a lot of time playing in the more secure as holding off on filing a demand and supply on the market. This is what makes the market became quiet and is even less likely to come down.

One thing I believe will help BTC recover is the institutional investors. Back in january when BTC was at its $20,000 peak instititional investors were paying almost 2-1 for BTC the reason being is crypto is so volitile.  So pretty much they paid double due to  risk and crashes that if they sell they have basically covered theirselves with insurance..  so basically  much of the investors in late December and early January were paying $35,000-$40,000 per 1 BTC. Crypto must rise again, to much money was invested by major investors. Everyone that paid that price did not sell at 3k I can promise you that!

I have a very extreme idea.
I think if Bitcoin wants to recover and get the best development, then it will need a lot of altcoin deaths because they will absorb bitcoin investors and money.

Factors that will make Bitcoin recover is dependent on the market supply and demand come 2019,  with the near ending market activities for 2018 which is still very volatile, consumers are still on wait and see status. Some are holding on for their coin investment, But once the market correct itselft after ther recent drops, i am optimistic that it will be a favorable market activities again come 2019.

regulation and positive news will make bitcoin prices recover and return to high prices. But even when I think this position is a correction of prices that always occur in the crypto market which will recover and go towards the highest price point

IMO, mass adoption will help to drive Bitcoin price higher. As long as the demand exceeds supply, we are able to see Bitcoin soar again. However mass adoption takes time and trust from the new users, it is not going to be easy if we keep seeing fuds around.

more buyers.. minimize selling.. it's gradually going up.

maybe only big investors can increase the value of bitcoin again, even though bitcoin per second always runs but does not increase its value at once. it's just that when big investors start investing with bitcoin back on a large scale, there is a possibility that price changes in bitcoin can rise again.

The only way to get back the value of Bitcoin is to invest more and withdraw less this will be the reason for value of if the investors withdrawing their investment frequently the value will definitely going to down so this will be the way to get back the old power of Bitcoin

I thought it is obvious. Big players greatly influence the price of BTC. And they can lower or raise the price at will.
Sooner or later the price will start to grow. After that, new smaller investors will come. The popularity of BTC and cryptocurrency in general will begin to grow.
The market will begin to recover.

I am sure that in 2019 everything will fall back into place and Bitcoin will be able to recover its price

I think this issue will be solved when the ordering countries accept cryptocurrency in their economies and legally formalize it. I hope it will be already from the new year

OP seems to be confused. I don't really get the idea  behind the "factor" he's talking about. The crypto market, like other markets, has times things to go high and other times where it'll correct resulting to a loss in value. So for now, the prices are low but It'll pick up sooner or later like other assets. Most people are saying the next bull run will be fueled by the bitcoin halving or upcoming bakkt launch.

A good growth will actually be able to show the established Bitcoin, since with the onset of the global crisis, the institutionalists will transfer their money into it, because they need a tool to diversify risks

I don't think so, bitcoin does not need to do so in order to recover and grow next year. Just wait and the price of bitcoin in the market will increase in the most positive direction because there are no dumpers, the price will recover  ;D

I think that the interest in bitcoin is now growing, because there are few good coins among altcoins. There are a lot of fraudulent projects and I read that many people are going to come out of the alts and invest only in bitcoin and Ethereum.

Volume is what we need right now, volume and concentration on bitcoin. When the bulk of the money coming into the market is being put into bitcoin like before then the coin is going to start bulling again. The many altcoins that we have now is not letting there to be enough concentration in bitcoin and that is affecting the value of the market since all of the coins get their value from bitcoin

I believe bitcoin need many people who still believe in the future of bitcoin and willing to make an investment into bitcoin, that could makes the demand on bitcoin to increase.

It eventually changes when people will pursue and invest crypto. The recent situation is not we want to but it is a journey for crypto. Early investors have move their money out from crypto when they gain millions which really affecting on the price.  It added also by some news about the sustainability of crypto.
We came into many years of existence and no doubts that bitcoin will recover by itself.

I see bitcoin can grow quickly if the media starts talking bitcoin frequently, and trying to make bitcoin rise again is not difficult if the media talk about bitcoin, especially talking about positive things,
and one more thing is the rules about bitcoin must be clear so that people believe in bitcoin,

Numbers of bitcoins users is one of the factors that can affect the recovery of bitcoin because if there many people who use bitcoin, many people will buy bitcoin, right? so in that point if the demand increase the price is also increase because thats the normal situation.

things that can make bitcoin recover faster may be ETF, but I doubt this will be approved. other than this it might be just speculation and pumps by big investors. all that is just a possibility, the thing that can definitely restore the market is mass adoption.

I agree with you who say that bitcoin is the safest investment choice but we need to provide opportunities for new projects and coins to show their potential because if we only focus on bitcoin then projects that might help our lives in the future will never develop.
there are many projects that are very useful for many people but unfortunately they failed to develop because they did not get the opportunity from investors, so as long as investors only see bitcoin then other coins will be completely ignored

it seems like a natural thing if they start securing their assets from the market. maybe after the price returns good they will start to invest in other coins on the market, because they want profit

Any news that is related to crypto could really make it pump and would make it strong. But I guess there are still some things that would make the news to be strong enough to have an effect to crypto.

I agree. Supply is a really important aspect that could really make the market be active and be invigorated again. Most people these days have resorted to holding their Bitcoin, so it would follow that since everyone is on a waiting game, the amount of transactions happening in the market would also die down, which would bring it in a slump at the expense of everyone in it. Although it is a critical move to avoid losses, it cuts down the supply.

Bitcoin is not loosing its appeal  rather economies of the various nations have recovered and the interest of the people has diverted towards the fiat currency ,now the people are well aware of the advantages of the adoption of the crypto and it will remain there forever bitcoin prices are low which will recover with mass adoption.

Adoption of BTC is what will increase the demand for it and increase it`s price.
BTC supply is limited as we know, so the price will recover and rise if the demand becomes higher.
Regulations will make institutional investors join the market and that will also boost the price.

bitcoin is for now the king and its value is not influenced by other altcoins maybe the opposite happens, its low value is perhaps given by the low investments and by the little requests on the exchanges

I think the only factor that makes Bitcoin recover is confidence, want investors to have confidence in this market, it must prove something, not FOMO, investors are too depressed with this. The crypto community is still fragmented, not united, not enough to prepare for strong development. That is the subjective factor, we should also discuss the objective factors when the global economy and political crisis.

In fact, there are a lot of factors that could really improve the situation. Today, this is probably one of the most important: Bakkt and CBOE are great opportunities for people to be able to legally conduct large transactions.

the cost of bitcoin determinates only the manipulations that are carried out on it. The real value of Bitcoin can be understood when there will be regulation and there will be a request.

To increase the price of bitcoin, it is enough to bring order to the crypto market and eliminate the situation when major players buy bitcoins on the over-the-counter market and sell them on the exchanges in order to dump prices.

Excuse me but, what is the over-the-counter market? Do you mean a peer-to-peer buying and selling of coins? Why would someone sell their tokens cheaper in an over-the-counter market when we have available exchanges?

   
Why do you think the price should go up? I am a crypto-enthusiast but I understand that the high price for Bitcoin is not something good. If we are looking at Bitcoin as something more than just another investment tool - we should understand that a low and stable price is what Bitcoin really needs to become adopted and useful.
