Bitcoin Forum

I know about the demand and supply and its the reason a marlet gets different price at different price but what make bitcoin users to lead to this pricefall..I mean once there was 1btc = 500$ and after that I herd some hackers have hacked some exchanges and many scammers also poped out during those days..and this all leads to currenct price of 230$ I hope some peoples will do something to avaood these problems as much as we can

well, we were at almost 300, but then the split drama has come and we fall another time to the last stand

i was talking about this before, it seems that every little bad news puts bitcoin into knees, while good news does nothing for now

if everytime, bitcoin falls so big, then you can't rely on a steady growth to increase its value, there is the need of a massive pump..

Yeah it feels like if Bitcoin is carrying a giant heavy rock on it's back.We can hold it but we don't have enough power to throw it away and stand up. So what we need is a large injection of testosterone to get rid of that massive stone. So Bitcoins needs a fresh giant load of adopters who pump in more money.

Well many things were a reason for a fall. Consider it like this, Bitcoin was really in the bubble, bubble that went up and over $1,000 slightly. Now that bubble has deflated. Why? Well Bitcoin infrastructure, development wasn't ready for that price. Also Bitcoin didn't have enough users and it wasn't accepted in enough places in order to sustain that price.

Also, every block awards you 25 bitcoins at the moment, so you need over a million in the buying power daily just to sustain current price. In July of the next year this will change, block reward decreases to 12,5 so it will be needed half the money as of today to keep the price at the current level.

Of course, these are not all of the reasons, these are only main reasons.

Well, Bitcoin when it was designed was not designed to be stable.
The very idea of an internet/global currency in itself wouldn't be stable.
Bitcoin's price can drop to the seabed or rise to the stars in a matter of minutes.
I don't see a problem. $230 is a hell of a lot of money for anything.

Yes, its true that prices of bitcoin is falling but there is nothing wrong with it. Actually current demand for bitcoin is less than the supply, so the prices for bitcoins are lowered day by day. This is not a first time the prices of bitcoin has dropped, but there is always some corrections and then again prices go up to the some extend and it will be continue in the future as well.

Well ofcourse the price is dropping on such news, but i believe it has much more to do with people expecting the price to fall, than it has to do with people actually leaving bitcoin.
But no matter what you do, there will always be reasons for the price to move, and where there's really nothing, people create FUD in order to move the price and make a profit.

Price is very stable for last 6-8 months. I think Bitcoin remain over 200$ is a good sign for long term. People have confidence to coins, 200-300$ range moves are because of speculations around here. That's pretty normal.
There's nothing we need to worry right now. Everything's fine.

bitcoin needs two things governement support ,currently most avoid it or ban it,or put several rules to own or wanna get them,the other thing is we need new investors and more believers,market will moove with more interest and new money.Otherwise we will be around 200-300 dollars ,but as soon as mine ends the history will changes as bitcoins will be something unic..... and well all know that old things gain value over the years.....no matter if a computer or a table... bitcoin will reach it,be patient the next years will reveal the real bitcoin value...

despite all the news hindering the price in some ways like usual.

isnt there a rumor where ubs is on the 1st banks to use the techology as a settlement coin for between partnered banks.

i think itd be huge if they got it to work. it was on the reddit threads recently.

UBS are trialling blockchain tech. Infact, most large institutions are looking into it. Bitcoin itself is not something they are likely to ever hold until it's regulatory framework is mature. We won't see this for a number of years, slow but steady growth is best anyway.

As for all the arguments above about falling price due to demand being less than supply, it doesn't follow if you consider the fact that the supply schedule was even higher before, and we still made a run to over $1000. Besides this, you also have to take into account the cost of mining.

Price movement is always about redistribution of wealth. The market maker runs the price for maximal profit. News good or bad, just allow market participants to give in to emotional trading which is how the MM make their money. It also gives the MM greater liquidity.

good news doesn't influence the price anymore unfortunately. the block halving is the only thing that can make the price go over $300 again, maybe even $400 if we're lucky.

Mining cartels like to manipulate bitcoin price, that is why it is falling, and then going back up.

Its just basic market manipulation, dont fall for it.

Bitcoin's are sensitive to bad news. Such as collapses of exchanges, technical issues, double spending, block size debate etc.

True but a lot depends on the dumpers, they keep pumping and then striaght dump, which may cause many people to lose faith in trading in it. Most of the issues you mentioned are already over though, exchange(I think you mean MT. Gox here) - gotten over it, techincal issue(don't know what you mean) , block size debate - meh its chilled already.

the densety of the problem seems to be a group of factors besides pumbping and dumping and besides demand it seems that the factor of governements blocking the coin and the hackers doing bad stuff makes it dump abit more i hope in feb 2016 gets to 500$ if no more bad news

Don't blame the dumpers they are just a small percentage of bitcoin users. If we had a strong demand the dumpers would go with the flow.

Yup but they're the one who actually "control" the btc price, tell me if btc price was dumped down to zero for some reason, would the community be there?

History repeats itself  !
Though it is not a valid reason , but i can see , previous year at the same time price went Down !

I see Bitcoin right now as pretty stable. At least last half year. 2014 was not good price wise, but i guess was a correction because of high raise in 2013.

Maybe bitcoin users and adopt is the reason too i think.

and the security system is the most important for exchanger company, i think they should hire expert security develope for avoid a hacker attack.

If people are hanging on to the coins it will definitely push up the price due to reduced supply. Unfortunately this is not what it is happening. Trust and reputation is also related to it and I'm sure you share the same sentiment right now about the coin.

price of bitcoin will raise as soon as mining ends... on those day we will see less bitcoins and more interest ,then it can go to 2000 dollars or more but well will take some time.

Mining end in year of 2140, recently bitcoin mining is still alive although the diff is always increased.
the price will raise when supply is less than demand, just see in the next of halving time.

I think when people say end of mining they mean when the rewards are so small that they start being negligible.

So as you can see here, in 10 years things will be be very different, price may be higher than we can realistically aim for now. And in about 2030, things may get start going Jupiter.

If price keeps dropping will anyone be interested in bitcoin?

The splitt between perosns of interest within the foundation, plus the new "stresstest" al show the unstable future of bitcoin. On top of that ego's running wild and the motivations to not implement a bigger block size are dubious to say the least, we need consensus and a foundation who's sole interest is Bitcoin, and not any other shitservice attached to it....

in theory it should increase the price if it drop to a certain point were more average joe, find the price to be more suitable for their small investments

but if it drop too much, it may be the opposite as you said

A direct question: "Will the price of bitcoin increased or decreased after July 2016?"
Since the supply of the coin will be 50% less (12.5BTC)
And the buy orders(requests) will be increased if the popularity of bitcoin will increased too?

Everyone is talking about the change in supply of bitcoins, as there will be less of them showing up on the market. Is it?

First - there is this simple rule on each stock market (including currency exchange): if everyone thinks that price will change in a specific direction, it will go in the other way. If everyone wants to earn on the same fluctuation, no-one will.

With that said, there is other problem. Supply means how much of product is showing up on the market, not how much is being produced/found/mined! Keep that in mind, as miners might be aware of that too. They might be hording their coins until the change of mined blocked size, and then - bah! The will SELL. Therefore, today's supply might not be as big as we think, and tomorrow's might not be that small.

Just saying...  ;)

Tha is why I am beginning to lose patience. Not even the most optimistic news can make bitcoin price grow, market is controlled by whales and normal players are overreacting  with panic after hearing even smallest piece of not necessarily good news. Where is the bright future ahead?

my thoughts are that SO many people have now lost money during the last year and a half "bear market", that none of those people dare put another dime into btc.  Probably a lot of those people are out, and wont be back.  Meaning the total number of those in the btc market is declining.  That, combined with major exchange hacks, lost coins still not being accounted for, and NOTHING on the horizon for good news, means people are holding out, and may never get back into btc.

You could be right. I also believe that many people who bought in at higher price might have lost patience and sold the rest of what they had. And although we have good news, VC is increasing, it's not enough to gain some momentum to raise the price and hold it on a certain level.The lower 200s seems to be a level we still have to deal with for a longer period of time.

Don't expect any bigger increase in price until the block size debate isn't finished. Investors, big investors won't risk their money if they don't see a healthy network that goes in one direction.

Also smaller investors that buy 1 or 2 BTCs now or then won't be buying at all while waiting that prices drops because of the unknown status that is currently in the community. Why would they pay more if they count that the price might drop in a few weeks.

This is how the market works, it's cyclic, we had a pump 2-3 months ago and are going down again. Concentrate on the big moves, that in this case are also being towards price decline...

As I stated in other thread I'm curious to see what will happen near the halving.

Lol. Weak hands with no patience may flee but bitcoin is more than its price today. People need to think bigger and into the future but people will need to wait if they want to see big gains.

Totally agree with Mickeyb. That's how I see the current market for bitcoin.

The scaling debate needs to come to a compromise, stability needs to be shown so that people (both current and new investors) will become more interested in investing.

To be fair, people have been saying this for the last year or so.

The 600 and 400 prices were then told to be good buy points. Now we're at 230

Fear of holding is the reason for bitcoin price fall. People first thought to buy at the prices of 600 or even 500 then 400. But continuous different news prices ere forced to low of avg 220.

I don't believe this variant. The supposed hacked exchanges have nothing to do with the price of bitcoin. Can you explain how this is possible? There are to many factors that affect the price of bitcoin but the reason give by you is not true.

They have everything to do with it. What do you think the hackers do with that money?

They go and sell it in another exchange, and thus decreasing the BTC price.

There are 10 months that the price is in those levels. No one exchange has or have to much money to last so long the selling of those (the hacked supposed ones). So the hacked money must be finished now (if hacked). Must be sold already. Supposed with the low price. And supposed time ago was finished this selling. Why the price don't go high again?

Ok but there were some scams before that too, and after.

There is a minor heist every week in the bitcoin community, ranging from 50-500 BTC, and its probable that those scammers exchange it to fiat as soon as possible.

Add up all heists, scams, robberies, hacks, and other frauds, and you can see that the majority of those get sold and they have the big downward pressure in the price.

Plus the reaction of the other traders to these. I mean things like these make bitcoin less trustable, so the price will go down anyway.

How will go the price it is to see. Even I don't think that will go down. I think will remain in these levels again for some time. Then slowly with the spread and implementation of the technology which is behind bitcoin and which will change and disrupt to many others will be increased the importance of bitcoin and will begin the increase of price.

One of my friend has indicated some bitcoin whales might released their hoardings into market price to dump the bitcoin prices. That might cause long term slow bitcoin price falls. who knows....

it also depend how many coin are scammed, 10k coins for example are not enough to prevent a fast recover, don't expect a sum like that to dump bitcoin to sub 100 for example...

you need something bit for changing the value in every exchange, something which is only 1/1k of the marketcap can't do it

Scams in bitcoin are almost daily, here is the most recent one that is quite big

http://cointelegraph.com/news/115289/bitpay-hacked-for-over-18-million-in-bitcoins

If these shitty thigs happen every week or so, then obviously the price gets hit.

Damn people should really learn how to secure their coins, more discipline guys!

IMO the price of Bitcoin depends on people's trust in it. If they see the price hits $270 and immediately start selling them thinking it won't last long at the price that high - then the price goes down. But only if people wait until the price hits let's say $300 - it will. And if they wait until it hits $400 - it will also.

I believe this is true. I have seen some signals on BTC related websites. There is a downward pressure. But I don't think BTC lose @ 200 USD range. Maybe 190 then go back, or 180 and go back. 200 USD is quite stable and where I will buy again.

the main reason price falls is because people start spreading rumors and people get scared and dump their coins increasing the supply by a lot.

Guys,

I'm sorry to wake you up, but Bitcoin is very much like any other shit coin. It was pumped by Willy bot https://willyreport.wordpress.com/2014/05/25/the-willy-report-proof-of-massive-fraudulent-trading-activity-at-mt-gox-and-how-it-has-affected-the-price-of-bitcoin/ and then subsequently drizzled out and dumped over the course of the entire of last year and continues now.

The interest that sparked as a result of its price climb gives it the position it has today, but at the end of the day, the market maker still prefers fiat over Bitcoin. They could slam it down to sub 100 and have bags of bitcoins left, but of course they have better profit overall if they drizzle out over time.

For all you wishful thinkers out there, we WILL see a new low, and what is now the bottom will one day be the top.

Enjoy.

You wrong. You forget one important thing. It is not bitcoin important. Or it is not so important. Important is the technology behind it. This technology will push it forward forever.

the fact that it was pumped does not mean it is a shit coin, everything is pumped and dumped out there, even your precious gold and fiat garbage, and they are more shitcoin than bitcoin ever is

you can't stop manipulation especially with a small marketcap like the one of bitcoin, we will see with the halving

i supouse the taxes included into usa for this bitcoins its going to affect too

Oh come on man, here we go again. So what if price was manipulated with the help of the Willy bot. Many big companies and technologies have had some sort of shady pushes in order to propell them towards a success. And they exist today and serve people well.

You have to look at the bigger picture. A technology, advantages for the people and the masses, advantages for the Internet. Let's not just concentrate on the price for God's sake!

I claim that Bitcoin having a price attached to itself is the worst thing for Bitcoin in these early developmental days.

Also we must remember people are buying bitcoin to invest in other digital currencies so then they offload bitcoin to invest in other crypto technologies so that also may be a reason as well. The fact that there is way too much speculation going on also frightens mainstream more conservative investor types from entering the bitcoin markets.

I think it is not the main reason
I guess the main reason is that many bitcoin users who sell bitcoinnya at low prices

I think that why the price is going down, it that people are investing in alt coins.
Especially these weeks/months where ETH, XMR, DASH and other coins are on top.
So people are loosing their interest in bitcoin and the price is going down coz there are not much needs for people.

I'm not sure that people had an interest in bitcoin in the first place.  They have an interest in making money, and are expecting another rise to $1k.  I mean just look at the majority of posters on here.  They dont care about the tech, or possibly disrupting the financial ssytem of the world, they are strictly here to try to cash in on another bull run.

well its true we care for the btc if it falls but we need to see the btc rise and because of its tech of its digital good and speedy trasactions also the pssibility of second currency for us

Bitcoin is good to make money but not this year, the price has become unstable and this week there is a "big" price drop(at least for me).
And moving to alt coins seems a good opportunity to make money by buying and selling, and the profit can be earned also in the same day, which i personally did with etherum and other alt coins.
But what exactly made the price to fall these days, anyone can explain a bit?

Scarcity of a certain product can make its price high, some reason why a price of a product might fall when it is produced more than what the consumers needed. It is pretty amazing when we can have it all balanced. 

price always fall and rise sometimes other dump
and buy more hope it rises once more

I don't think now the big trading and exchanger platform will be hacked again. And these days gambling sites are also putting bigger percentage of bitcoin  in cold storage to make it safe. I worry if another such thing like hacking or split happens again bitcoin price will be like half than what it is today. We need more new buyers to pump up the price.

Some more bitcoin websites will be hacked, I don't have any doubt. But as we move towards regulated exchanges/services this stuff will be less frequent.

i think if the price fall the reason is have a big demand and big supply,will you buy a product in a cheaper price if the demand and supply are high when its
low supply the biggest tendency of the price in any product would be high. any businessman have a strategy to get price high their product will kept until have a big supply it cause a high price

I think the reason why the price this moment is falling because of the new that will happen on august 1. Most of the usesr sell their coins to make sure for the income. They think the possible may happen is the split (bcc and btc) in this situation the price of bitcoin will fall and it will back almost hundred dollar. When they observe that the coins is dumping, some user sell and secure their coins.
The easy explanation is dumping if the supply of coins decrease while pumping is the supply of coins increase.

I think already bitcoin community have taken major steps to strengthen the network and to make it secure from the hacker attacks and such problems, and many modifications are still happening to make it more secure. Hope so the issue you have stated will not happen in the future.

All virtual currency is digital technology, however, bitcoin is the only currency that is powerful enough to sustain and operate in the long run. It has not encountered any obstacles. That made bitcoin strong and of great value.

Currently bitcoin is the digital currency that has the highest value when compared with some other coins on the market kripto.certain all bitcoin users hope about this progress is increasing along with the addition of bitcoin users and progress.

I have nothing to worry about it. Because as the price of bitcoin drops, when the price rises doubly. I know that bitcoin is stable and not lost.  I mean,  bitcoin   here to stay. While most of the current coins might disappear in the years to come, a few of these startups hold the potential to disrupt the entire financial system as we know it.  So far ,the bitcoin's price value is higher than the other crypto currrency and it's good news for everyone.

I think the reason of the price fall of bitcoin last week was the news about china. But after a couple of days it becomes normal again.

It's all about the game play of market news. Just look back in the history and see the major events that shook the base of bitcoin prices. There was hacking, exchanger closing, segwit situation, mass dumping and much more. With recent china regulations the sane situation was occurred on major scale. This is how the price of bitcoin can fluctuate if something goes wrong around the world. This is why the decentralised system works perfectly. If something good happening in one place then every one in the bitcoin will benefit from it because the effect is always global.

It is the main reason for this month why the price of bitcoin fall. And unlike what happened before there are some events that made the price lower. The hard fork and other the same events and expect next month there will be another reason for the price fall of bitcoin. Because it's gotta be the real test of bitcoin on November. And for us, we know on how many tests did bitcoin went through and it's going to be a test of weak and strong hands.

I believe that the reason of the price fall of bitcoin is about the fear of the people who have bitcoin on their bitcoin wallet because they see that there is a lot of bad news about bitcoin so the only thing for them to do is to sell so they can secure their profit and avoid getting losses in bitcoin so i think FUD is the main reason for the price fall.

This price fall is completely different. People panic because of the news about bitcoin being banned in China which is not yet proven to be true. Stop spreading fake news and don't sell your bitcoins because everyone will be affected by the great price decline of bitcoin.

The moment we begin to understand that by default, the price of bitcoin will raise and fall the better for everyone and the forum  for the need of several threads created for the same purpose all over again.

Bitcoin price as at today will continue to witness the volatility even without any news at all. Not to talk of the moments now that the uncertainties abound. Every reason anyone can give cannot be unattached to what we already know. Just go about your business, trade like normal, if you are not sure of the future, maintain your position and you have less thing to worry about.

haha, this year was the most amazing year in bitcoin history, I can say that proudly. This year price rised from 600$ to 5000$ (more than 8x profit) and some days ago it fall to 2900-3000$. Anyone who bought it some days ago (when price was 3000$), will get 25% profit if he/she will sell it now. So imagine how great it is. To my mind there is no way to say that this year was bad, no, this year was great.

Bad news as well as rumors will confuse the market place members about bitcoin. Whenever anything happened against bitcoin or any crypto issue that bitcoin price will be down fall. If there is any adoption or good news again then price will pump up.

I think that it still about the supply and demand of bitcoin, I don't think that your reason has to do with the price inflation or being dumped. Sellers panic so they sell their coins and it's the reason for the downfall of its price.

I think you guys have pulled a thread from 2015 for this discussion but I must say it was a nice idea.
Someone might have created the same thread on this when the BTC price was 4800 then it came back to 3000.

Of recent I come to understand that prices fall because of rumor of bad news or negative news against bitcoin or others altcoins and not necessarily the force of demand and supplied. Currently one bitcoin equal to $4272 according to data from coinmarketcap and I do believe that this is a very high significant improvement from were we are when you open this thread. It then mean that people sell bitcoin out of panic and most times lose their hard earned money.

I'll be a bit more controversial here... BTC simply rose a bit too much too fast, and now it's deflating. A mini bubble bursting. It's why I'm not reading too much into it.
And if I was a better trader, I'd be making money off it. Instead, I'm just hodling. And waiting till the moment come to sell. True traders will hold when price is down not selling.

Bitcoin is designed to soar up and fall due to its supply vs demand . Ones supply is greater than demand the value falls down , it rises up when the demand is greater than the supply, Through this movement rise and fall anyone involved in bitcoin business are keeps monitoring to earn a good profit.
They grab oppurtunity when the value falls down. And dump when the price is up..

The reason I think you had a fall in bitcoin is that the price of bitcoin is now below mining cost for a lot of mines.  Once you have mines close down, they tend to unload their stored bitcoin, which causes a chain reaction.  My sense is that chain reaction is over and prices have stablized.Personally, I think that the future of bitcoin is very bright.  However, that doesn't  mean that the price of bitcoin will go up or down.  Bitcoin is a very useful medium for exchange, and I think that people should invest in companies that use bitcoin, but not in bitcoin itself.

In 2013, when Bitcoin price crashed, early Bitcoin investors had gained up to three times their initial investment. In the past few months, the price increase has reached up to 87 percent.Bitcoin price has surged to $2,800 due to various factors, including the acceptance of cryptocurrency as a legal mode of payment, a stable growth in terms of international remittance services, among others.
Many have adopted Bitcoin as their mode of payment and it is already accepted by regulators as a legitimate way of investing. With its various potential consumer uses, Bitcoin may potentially become a mainstream asset. In fact, in some countries like Japan, Bitcoin is legally accepted as a method of payment.

The reason why the price fall in cryptocurrencies is because of bad news people start to panic so they sell their coin and others follow. For me those FUD those are intentionally created by people who wants to buy at lower price so they play around peoples emotion because they know that it will always be effective if that will happen.

Are we saying we need the "Bill Gates" of this world, the "zugerbergs", the wealthy etc to come make some positive statement on bitcoin. For instance, like making a statement of investing in bitcoin  :o
I mean, this will get bitcoin running on bullish.

The reason I think you had a fall in bitcoin is that the price of bitcoin is now below mining cost for a lot of mines.  Once you have mines close down, they tend to unload their stored bitcoin, which causes a chain reaction.  My sense is as of 1/19, that chain reaction is over and prices have stablized.

Personally, I think that the future of bitcoin is very bright.  However, that does *NOT* mean that the price of bitcoin will go up or down.  Bitcoin is a very useful medium for exchange, and I think that people should invest in companies that use bitcoin, but *NOT* in bitcoin itself.

One of the most famous reason why there are price fall or price drop in bitcoin is first the FUD. some of the articles (see china x JP Morgan almost the same time articles) produce fear, doubt at uncertainty to other bitcoin holders which made them cash out their bitcoins and convert it into fiat money, Second is the casual cashing out, i am not really convinced that some price drop is because of FUD but because of casual cashing out, some bitcoin holders sell their bitcoin because they need money, that's simple and that's how i describe the second reason.

Most of them feel getting a little profit though so they sell bitcoin and finally make the price drop. I think it is a mistake, when the price drop should we buy because of the fact bitcoin directly up and not wait a long time.

Well what I think is.. that China said it will stop all bitcoins exchange starting from September 30 and its 3 October today thus, maybe the after effects of that decision is affecting the market value, but not really sure since on 31 September the price was increasing.
Also the potential reason could be the sudden increase in value of bitcoins that made people sell them, if they could have waited longer they could have attained more profit.

All the fall that is happening is just because of panic investors as rumors spread inexperienced one starts to sell and this cause a huge dump. Bitcoin want maturity and patience from its investor and those who are not they also give loss to themselves as well as to bitcoin so kindly calm down at such situation and hold holding does not give loss at all.

Because many users who sell bitcoin so prices go to fall. We all know that bitcoin is decentralized so that it all depends on the needs and demand of the market, if it were certainly high prices will rise and vice versa.

What makes traders and investors afraid is because of concerns that there will be hardfork tilting news, which if some of the miners are not supporting SegWit and the hash power of miner that supports SegWit and the balance then hardfork can happen. There will be a division of Bitcoin blockchain which can result in Bitcoin being split.
This is a SegWit-related issue that keeps investors and traders frightened, and withdraws all of their Bitcoin assets from the market to avoid a Bitcoin block. As a result Bitcoin market has decreased very significantly even drastically.

Probably its more properly called supply and demand. Most of bitcoin investors are speculator. They play in volatility and make it even higher. Even government regulation can influence bitcoin price undirectly, we are know about the china regulation which cause to the decreasing price of bitcoin,  aren't we?.

Yes we are fully aware of that, and also price fall is the result of false information. Just like what happen to Jason Dimon who says bitcoin is not good then the price eventually falls downs but after that bitcoin soar higher. People are just trying to manipulate the price of it by just saying negative things this is the rule of trading now with bitcoin.

 Its pretty obvious that not all currency is in high even usd get fall. Dont worry about that it will rise high than what you expect..
Bitcoin have high chances in the future

I just thought they have some technical issues..
Now a days the number of transactions are happening,It seems that there is no new interest in investing into bitcoin..
In the other reason is, if the price is always getting high no one is sell it to anyone.. They are just holding bitcoin and exchange it when they want to more money..

The recent crash of btc price was to be expected.Always be critical of whatever your investing.Take time to examine your investments from a contrarian point of view.Prices unnaturally drops down because market will always correct themselves.Btc has been and still one of the  best investment vehicles in the world.It will suffer from prices drop and will also enjoy price increases

The time OP posted this, bitcoin is worth $500.

---

Time flies so fast, bitcoin went $19,000 then back to $6,000 and now it's up again to $10,700 and is ready to move for $11,000.

---

Instead of asking the reason of the price fall, ask what will be the reason for bitcoin to increase so that everyone can share their thoughts and ideas including the good news out there.

So are bitcoin prices destined for a collapse every time they approach ... Exuberance driven surges aren't the only reason prices can rise unnaturally.

For my own thought the reason why bitcoin was falling if when many inveators or a people who have holding bitcoin was dumping or sell their holdings.This is the main reason why bitcoin was down but we dont have to worry because its normal and soon it will rise again.

I think for the price fall market demand going low and some whales are selling bitcoins

 :) :)  I know a demand and supply and its a market that take a different price but how does a bitcoin make users to lead a pricefall .I mean once that a bitcoin really cost a bit and after that Hera's most of hackers who had a hacked people did anything to eliminate this problem as much a we can .and this not a first day passed of the price of bitcoin has drop .but there are always some correction and then again was goes up and some extended it will be continue in the future as well.

The reason why the price is fall because of the negative feedback and negative thoughts for people thus investor discourage to invest on bitcoin .To solve this problem we must have to spread the good news and the worth it of bitcoin has .Bitcoin is fluctuating thats why price rapidly decreasing but we dont have to worry its still in a normal rate .

For me the reason why price fall is because of major shareholder selling. Some shareholders set a target to sell their stock at a given price or if a certain event transpires. The end result shares available depresses the share price. Then possibly negative research notes or fake news. This can affect the way that firm's clients think, especially those that are more short-term oriented. This may result some selling pressure often ensues.

The price falls because of the people who sells a lot of bitcoins they are the panic sellers and they do not even know that they are just letting the bitcoins fall tremendously because the price of the bitcoins depends on the supply and the demand of the people so selling a lot of bitcoins means that the demads are decreasing and also the price of the bitcoins will decrease so just patiently hold bitcoins dont cut off your loss stop selling for nothing.

The factors also why the price of bitcoin play down because of some insues facing by the bitcoin. Like there are some other country's anounced to banned bitcoin in their country. They are blocking the transaction of cryptocurrency. Some are distributing fake news, this how bad they are doing in cryptocurrency.Many investors are afraid to invest their money, and some of them panic selling their coins.

Bitcoin's price is much lower in the current market. Due to the increase in prices of other currencies this change has come at Bitcoin's price. We expect Bitcoin users to increase the price of Bitcoin in a few days.

The real issues why bitcoin is down because of the fake issues or news they delivered, so the investor think to change there decision making on bitcoin then also governments want to banned bitcoin. I am thinking too much why governments or other people having negative thoughts about on bitcoin, is it intentional or something bad for them? In bitcoin we can earned good money and help other people having services for them by paying taxes on bitcoin. This is the good thing to collect taxes by the governments, so that the economy will grow and people had income in daily.

If there is a price fall, this could be because of the supply in the market. High supply while demand is low, we could expect a price fall. What causes the supply to be high, maybe because people are selling their bitcoin.

The decline was due to investors who monitored warnings from a number of regulators and increased crackdowns on the virtual currency market and bitcoin prices dropped due to the act of coin a scam that promotes its homemade coin and to reap big profits and then run away.
Do not be interested in Invest Bitcoin business on the internet now, it is better if we collect bitcoin by way of searching from faucet "and also capital that have accumulated in make capital for trading you can see collection of trading site to be a choice of bitcoin trading.

I think why bitccoin price falls down because many of the bitcoin holders sell their tokens and that has really effects on the price because the demand is falling down also. Panic selling is the reason why bitcoin value drops.

Depending on the demand. If more users more demand. Bitcoin price wont be stabilized. There would always be times it falls because of lesser demand. This is because bitcoin is not recognized in all countries. Some would ban it and some are not so fully knowledgeable about bitcoin. This is how it goes.

When many do panic selling, when most all investors and holders are selling their coins that causes prices fall in the market. And when some fake news come it will also make effect in prices fall because some investors are afraid to invest or buys coins.

Other coin prices are also down by 30 - 40 % depending upon which coin you own it. But markets are not going that well and might take some time before the rise starts to happen and bitcoin regaining its 15k + levels again this year. It will boost other coins as well.

There are many reason why the bitcoin price is falling some investors , the holders are starting to panic because of the fake news or issues though, and result the marketplace ups and downs or become unpredictable. And still it determined the demand of the marketplace.

The main reason of price fall is that some of the investor get their investment. The term is "cash out" they do it because they are contented of the price. Most who do it are the big wheels.

Bitcoin looks differently from the time it was released. Now it is worth 10,000 dollar on the average. But even when the price is that high when compared to around just 500$. It doesn't stop the coin from changing its value to drop to 6000$. The reason was more banning, legality issues and many other concerns causing the value to go low and coins holders to do panic selling.

The fall in the market value of Bitcoin and other altcoins in recent time could be attributed to the recent Fud and ban from different government of the world which has created panic sell though there is strong believe that Bitcoin market value Will reach  $30,000 before end of December this year.

For alt coin , i think if some alt coin price fall the reason why because another coin have same type and more updated or that coin have no update or the dev didint do anything to make the price rise

I do not know this is true or false, I think the bitcoin price is down because here many people spread fud about btc so many people do panic sell and cause the price down, but I think there is a group of people who deliberately do that so bitcoin price down and buy it in large scale

It is unfortunately not true to show a single reason for the declines in this market or to find a crime of a few. When many details come together, such as news of many innovations, new announcements or major investors controlling the market, the valid reasons lie back to back. Being concerned about the market before investing on the line and controlling your investment without panic will be the healthiest way.

I'm not sure if demand on bitcoin starts to decline. I just figured lately there were a lot of bad issues about bitcoin and it made its value go down.

In the end and the beginning of the year bitcoin or other commodities will definitely decrease in price, the reason is very simple in my opinion, because in the middle toward the end of the year bitcoin prices have increased, then by the end of the bitcoin holder will sell their bitcoin for the cost of them facing the new year holiday , but prices will rise again as noble as they are in the middle of the year again, so do not panic when at the beginning of the year bitcoin prices have decreased

In the end and the beginning of the year bitcoin or other commodities will definitely decrease in price, the reason is very simple in my opinion, because in the middle toward the end of the year bitcoin prices have increased, then by the end of the bitcoin holder will sell their bitcoin for the cost of them facing the new year holiday , but prices will rise again as noble as they are in the middle of the year again, so do not panic when at the beginning of the year bitcoin prices have decreased

The recent decline in Bitcoin market value and some other altcoins cannot be attributed to hackers activities and scammers but it all happen as a result of panic sell and government ban of crypto currency activities within their jurisdiction and regulations issues.

I also have a strong feeling that the price will go above $30k by the end of this current year but I do not agree with the reasons which you discussed about the fall of the price. I believe that the reason was initiated by the Christmas and the new year celebrations for which the people pulled out their money from the market and lately the panic was very much observed in the market. The reasons which you discussed were after these incidents already happened.

One of the most common reason which has contributed this much in the downfall of the market value of so many coins which are there in the world of crypto currency is the panic selling which has been done by so many of the investors especially the ones who were newbies as they were unable to control their nerves at tough times. However, there is nothing to be worried about as the market is growing up.

#I guess part of the reason for the decline is that the opposition policies and technology were not stable enough at that time.

#But lately, as governments and people have slowly begun to accept bitcoin, technology has steadily grown, and people who want to hold bitcoin have increased, and prices have risen steadily.

#As a mainstream coin, it will affect the market. Despite the recent various currency price is still not stable, the market is not yet mature, but in the future, can be applied and meaningful currency will gradually reveal their value, and as a leader in the reform of science and technology

 yes it is true that the price of bitcoin decreased. It actually depends on bitcoin's supply and sales. And this is the first time that bitcoin's price has decreased. The price of bitcoin decreases almost.

Yeah it may still be influential in the market. actually fud like the government ban has been around since the first time bitcoin weakened in january and it made a huge drop. I lost a lot of that time. and may still have some influence today. I hope the price can immediately recover. everyone wants it

Usually those whales can manipulate the price of bitcoin by selling their bitcoin at the peek price then after selling their coins they will spread negative news that can cause FUD and it follow by panic so bitcoin price drops but if we have enough experience for sure we can cope up to the situations.

besides, bitcoin also has no project behind it. so now bitcoin just dwells as a digital currency. if there is a project developed behind the oin bit and supporting it, it will definitely have a big effect on bitcoin increments.

The main reason for the fall in price of BTC is basically the supply of it floating in the market. The more the supply the lower the price. We can actually blame the whales for dumping coins but then again band wagon panic sellers adds fuel to the fire. I'm pretty sure all of us who held on to their coins will be laughing our way to the bank come the last quarter.

The reason behind the price fall is nothing but demand of supply. No sufficient supply available in the market. Big whales are manipulating the market. Due to price fall people get panic and hold the bitcoin instead of selling. These makes market more down nowadays. But today maket seems to be good starts with green and slightly the price is inceasing. Hope this price increase will continue in near future.

The fall of most of cryptocurrencies in the market is the result of the panic selling and also the bad news about cryptocurrencies. The whales are also trying to play with the market by manipulating the movement of the price to make quick profit which is not a healthy practice for the market because it will just make the market toxic.

Due to insufficient supply of bitcoin in the market I decided to start mining bitcoin. Although I know that it is not easy and the cost is also high but it is the source of earning money and will help to increase the supply in the market. You are right that whale’s manipulation is the big reason for fall in the price. We cannot control this worst thing and will suffer their manipulations.

thAt is hallucinations expecting bitcoin could reach $30,000 is craziness this will never happen this year and neither next year as the whales continuing to manipulate the market so lets expect more than dropping from the last six month,if bitcoin may grow this december the maximum value it could hit is $8,500 and nothing more to wait

This decline has occurred in Asia, however, in recent days, volume has decreased, where today the volume decline of both countries fell by 30 percent.

yeah exactly hacks always lead to price fall

Definitely,the reason why btc price is going down its because many investor are scared for some hacker that do bad things in crypto.until now in so on hacker is always do hack some coins that give high volume and low security in their site.I hope these happen can resolve and improve the security of their site to protect many investor.

I think, many reasons why bitcoin prices fall, bitcoin prices are fluctuating sometimes up very high but then down again even down, maybe some bad news and a lot of people who need money, so a lot of selling will result in bitcoin prices getting down

Fake news can also be the reason why bitcoin price decrease, but what ever mau happen in bitcoin just hold your bitcoin because selling in low price will not help you infact you will lost your money if you do that.

wow now the bitcoin price is experiencing a very drastic decline. even I could not believe that bitcoin has decreased again because for several days when bitcoin price is quite stable and even can increase for several days.

The fall in market value of Bitcoin and other altcoins in recent times can be attributed to recent Fud and restrictions from different world governments that have created panic sales despite strong belief that Bitcoin's market value will reach $ 30,000 before the end of December this year.

Yeah that is one of the reasons why bitcoin keeps falling because of those negative news and it cause by panic selling and to those people who sold their bitcoin they also contributed to the dump, so we need to be patience because it is the key to become victorious at the end.

There are various reasons for the price breakdown.

• Market Manipulation: This tops the list because recently price isn't following any fundamental or technical analysis. I agree crypto space is unpredictable. But when price didn't get affected due to recent Bithumb hack and when price was in bullish territory, a sudden fall came without any valid reason tells a lot about market manipulation.
• Regulations: It is normal that a centralized system can't accept the freedom of decentralized system. Countries are bringing in unnecessary regulations which stops institutional money from entering the market.
• Amateur market: Crypto market hasn't yet matured enough. The volatility is pretty much high because of lack of volume. The premature increase in price last December and market still going a price correction because of that isn't an example of mature market.

Data Coindesk pointed out that bitcoin prices dropped to $ 12,000 for the first time since December 5, 2017. The bitcoin price listed at 11,685.24 US dollars, equivalent to Rp 156,579 million.

Speculators make it, i am sure. Have a lot of hackers have BTC via their hacking, and they will attack market when they want.

The prices in the market is always depending on the demand and supply of any specific cryptocurrency and that is the reason why the market is volatile just like what is happening right now.

i think bitcoin price fall because of the bad news regarding bitcoin illegality and many of the countries show against behavior about bitcoin acceptance so the price is badly affected and i hope that this price will recover soon.

Price falls because some investors dumps their assets, crypto beginners always make an mistake cause they regret after dumping their assets. some factors that causing price example for bitcoin is some fake news that btc will end its existence so people afraid and quickly sell their btc without thinking wisely.

There are so many reasons why btc is dropping, some intend to post more speculation that btc will end. Even there are many speculation about it I am confident btc will go to the moon. Although we cannot say when it would be but at this time lets observe the market

I think everyone knows that old things get value for years. no matter if the computer or the .bitcoin table will achieve it, be patient for the next few years will reveal the real bitcoin value
bitcoin requires two things government support, currently mostly avoid it or ban it, or put some rules to own or want to get it, another thing is we need new investors and more people believe, the market will be more interested and new money. Otherwise, we will be around 200-300 dollars, but as soon as the mine ends, history will change as bitcoin will become something unic.

Thats right mate once we dump our coins we contribute on the market to fall continously,FUDS have made the holders to distrust on bitcoins concept that is why some are skeptical on it and started to panic on the current declines of bitcoins value.

The first half part of 2018 is a bearish market and we cannot do anything to change the situation because it need to have a lot of money to change any strong trend.
Anyway market may be bullush or bearish it is a characteristic of market and now we have to wait a new bullish trend.
If you want to find the answer the question "why has it happened?" it is waste of time because you are not able to take into account all factors.

OK. There are many factors for price fail even in 2018. Major factor is the regulatory uncertainty and if crypto market can attract institutional investors or not. And other factors are numerous rumors, hacks and negative media coverage.

Bitcoins will not decrease so easily but there are other countries who are spreading fud in order to decrease the number of investors because cryptocurrency is affecting them in a negative way and that is one of the reason for bitcoins to dump its value in the market.

I think some reason why the prices dump is due to manipulation.

They have lack of knowledge, they don’t know anything about bitcoin, it is nature of haters to say bad all the time about price of bitcoin but wise people believes only their own observation ad own experience than trusting everyone and getting lose at the end. So have patience as your single wrong decision of selling at panic can bring the price of bitcoin more than thousands of dollar down, while holding makes it thousands of dollars high.

This argument does not support the real essence of cryptocurrency. Why would people say that price dump is due to manipulation when they know that price depends on the supply and demand of the product.

I THINK OF THE GENERAL PSYCHOLOGY OF THE MONTH BTC BTC RICE PRICE

FUd is the only answer to this thread, and there is no need to answer any other crap useless post in here. That is the only reason of why everything is going down

Yes manipulation can be a problem but still other important reasons can be consider as responsible for the price pumping and dumping. The interest of the investors, some good or bad news about the market and so many other reasons which can really effect the price of bitcoin too much, while investing money in bitcoin, it is too much important to consider these factors which can effect the bitcoin  price.

perhaps the reason that prices are falling right now is from bad news that makes bitcoin prices and some other cryptocurrencies fall, but I believe prices do not always fall off there will be time to make a price recovery.

I agree that there will be a time for the market of bitcoin to recover and have a high price in the future, it is because that is the cycle of the market but the price fall of bitcoin now is a pure technical and psychological thing because the people are seeing patterns in the market and they know what is the possible psychological thing that the other would do which is to sell their bitcoin to buy at a lower rate.

That is what the owner and the crypto holders fear. the number of hackers who sell the results cheaply so that the price of crypto decreased greatly.

Do you think BTC will fall below $5K?

There are number of reasons behind the price fall. Everything surrounded crypto currencies are the reasons for it. The demand, investors, medias and the governments are the reasons for the manipulation. When a government prohibits bitcoin in their country, there we can see a dip in price, when an exchange is hacked, price fall can be seen, when the bitcoin price is so low and whales buy more coins, more value dip can be seen. This is common with crypto currencies.

There are different reasons for the price of cryptocurrency to dump, hackers on the countries, fud that is spreading and people who are not good on managing their patience and selling their coins due to panicking.

Maybe your right, the bad news about bitcoin maybe can affect the price, people will always want the good news for the safe reason of their money.

This price falls may be a chance of market manipulation by the whales in the market. That could be possibly happened, or other way is that many individuals first time engaged in cryptocurrency has been so weak hands that they sell immediately their assets because they heard FUD news.

This is due to dumpers who are very dumb of listening to FUD news, they have been so weak that any FUD news, they listened to it. And to think, these individuals are the first time persons in the cryptocurrency world, without no sufficient experience yet. They might not have been research about cryptocurrency before engaging in it thus whenever there is a decrease in price, they have to stop loss when they incurred already loss. Sell at a quota even they incurred losses.
It is sad to think that this is true, so my advice to everyone is to do always a research. Do your own research and never to listen to anyone to buy this coin, buy that coin, because only you will decide and suffer to the consequences.

That could be possible reason for this bitcoin price fall, maybe the whales sell too much quantity of tokens so there might be plenty of supply of now and this makes the price to fall down for a many supply in the coin market ,and this a business strategy for big capitalist in bitcoin.

I think that is a very normal rule. If there is a rise then there will be a decrease

yes there are hackers today that are changing the price of bitcoins and taking advantage of it but i think that fud is the most dominant reason why cryptocurrency is falling today because bad news is always spreading in different countries and investors cant handle their patience.

Yeah, when many investors believe in fake news they got panic especially those investors who are new in cryptp currency, so before you enter one thing make sure that you have knowledge because when you are aware in crypto you will avoid losing money.

There are many reasons for the fall of the price. First of all I think whales market manipulation is the big reason for the decreasing price. Second is the negative statement from different people. Third is huge selling all over the world because of the deficits. But in all these reasons the most authentic reason is big investor’s market manipulation.

I think bitcoin price is fall because of less of demand and supply of bitcoin so that people force to sell or hold and we know if people say a negative statement about bitcoin the price of bitcoin will affected to drop because people did not trust on bitcoin thats my idea why bitcoin fall.

I think the demand and its market offerings are taking different prices but how bitcoin keeps the users to lead the price. And this is not the first day passed from the bitcoin price has come down. But there's always some correction and then another ride and some extended will continue in the future as well. So, I think It is normal.

I know from the news that bitcoin is down because there are hackers in south korea who break into the savings from the crypto currency. The disadvantages that can be quite large due to the hackers. And there may still be some other news related to bitcoin prices going down.

Everything that people is doing right now can actually affect the price of cryptocurrency in the market like spreading a fud in other countries, people have different mindset about cryptocurrency and some of them who are not well knowledgeable about the system then they will just sell their coins immediately if they feel pressure.

So many reasons are drawn for the causes of this price falls of Bitcoin at its bearish periods. Some of these may includes FUDs which greatly affects especially in the Countries at which the FUD generated from, while others follows suit negligently without at times look into why such FUD unfolded.
Another cause could emerge from the adverse effect of the Big Whales manipulation, when they tend to Dump at great volume in other for them to buy more at later date from all panic holders that had equally dumped along the lines.

There are so many different reasons why the value of Bitcoin has risen and fallen over the past. Since cyptocurrencies are a different kind of currency that is not affected by reserves or inflation rates, then the means for how it increases or decreases are affected by so many different factors too. I think, though, the one important game changer for Bitcoin is the fact that there are so many negative news swirling around it now, and that affects how people view it, and in turn, it affects how they use it in transactions that somehow affects its value.

The most important factor in this period in the light of price manipulations on bitcoin. In addition, the panic atmosphere created by the individual began to affect people's purchases.

I think this all leads to the current price of $ 230 I hope some people will do something to solve this problem as much as we can
I know about demand and supply and the reason why marlet get different price with different price but what makes bitcoin users lead to this price. I mean once there is 1btc = 500 $ and after that I herded some hackers hacking multiple exchanges and lots of scammers also popping up during those days.

Bitcoin is a highly volatile in nature and their is many thing which cause the fall in the price of bitcoin. First of all is the negative news shown by different media and news channel. Due to its decentralise nature no central authority presented in it. So their highly irregularity shown in its production and distribution. When bitcoin is not supply as per its demand then the price of bitcoin falls. When an government ban bitcoin in their respective country then their is a price of bitcoin falls. Many investor  does not invest their money in bitcoin because of bitcoins volatile nature and this causes fall in the price of bitcoin.

I think that media is one of the reason why cryptocurrency is falling ,every time they are creating a negative news or speculations about cryptocurrency, the market price is always decreasing because people are pressured and sell their coins in the market immediately.

I don't think that media can influence bitcoin price so strong and definetely not on a long term. The influence of media is just exaggerated.
Every time when price goes down people are desperate to find some particular reason why is this happening and they want to influence on that reason.
But very often this is not possible and the price dump is just product of usual bitcoin volatility.

There are many reasons and factors that make the price fall, if it only fell a few percent I think it is just a correction, but if like now where prices fall so deep I think it's just a market manipulation to wobble user confidence to panic, still believe and believe in potential bitcoin, then I'm sure we'll keep it. No one knows for sure the reason behind the fall in market prices I'm just guessing it.

Yes that is right not a single reason is there which is responsible for the bitcoin price to fell down, most of the time the bitcoin price is only felling down because the market is taking a correction, but the current decrease in the bitcoin price is only because of some bad news that are wondering in the market, i hope that very soon people will again get their confident to invest their money in bitcoin and release selling pressure.

Recently many news related to bitcoin kinda bad, because of that infamous hacking just several days ago in korea. I think because of that tragedy, many people loses their trust on bitcoin. Well, time could repair this damage i think. Because just in the matter of time, bitcoin could gain some people trust again.

Yes, have a lot of bad news make value of bitcoin or some crypto currency have bad affects.

The price of bitcoin depends on many issues, but the most important is its psychological impact and the problems associated with the investor and if the news revolves around it.

indeed from some problems that are owned by bitcoin this may be one factor in the decrease interest of bitcoin users so that it can trigger the reduction of bitcoin prices. but problems such as the happening of the hacking I think all will depend on the users of the wallet account that should be more careful in storing the crypto assets that belong.

I agree the most common reason why bitcoin price is falling is also that most of us make panic selling because they are believing with some news that is not yet verifiable. We can't control our emotions that is why we make panic selling without even double thinking.

Various parties have analyzed that the Cryptocurrency phenomenon triggered by Bitcoin is just a momentary phenomenon, or the cool word is the Bubble phenomenon.
Why is it said Bubble phenomenon? Because like a soap bubble, can at any time break and crumble.
There are even equate Cryptocurrency phenomenon is like Tulip flower phenomenon in the Netherlands hundreds of years ago. Tulip flower phenomenon horrendous to Europe to raise the price of Tulip flowers until many times the price should be. Until finally the bubble burst and Tulip prices back to normal, and left many people who lost money.

it seems the main reason for falling bitcoin prices because bitcoin has bad news that makes many traders panic and make them sell their assets at a very cheap price because it is too panicky. you should take advantage of moments like this to buy as much bitcoin as you can.

The market reacts (with a clear delay) to breaking the crypto-exchange Bithumb. An official statement about the intention of the South Korean government to understand the incident, could undoubtedly provoke a mass response and an extensive response from South Korean crypto traders, who promptly began to withdraw assets from the market.

the reason why bitcoin prices fall, one of which is a lot of negative news that befell bitcoin, such as crime, store illicit goods, etc .. this certainly makes the investors go left bitcoin and sell all the bitcoin assets they have, of course, this makes the price of bitcoin decreases and trigger other owners to sell panic, for fear of losing, finally domino effect occurred

Now that the whales have withdrawn capital from the market, perhaps this is a whale regulation, they will come back in time, so be patient in holding the coin for long periods of time.

Biggest and main reason for the price fall of Bitcoin is the manipulative nature of the market. There are some whales  which can manipulate the market whenever they want by putting large buy or sell order.

And other reason is negative news. When people see anything negative, they want to get rid of it and put their sell order which causes the price to fall.

Everyone talks about the bubble of tulips, forgetting that it was actually a speculative bubble, while the bitcoin - or, better, the crypto - are the inevitable future of money.
It is obvious that the institutions will oppose and do everything to boycott and resume and control, but they will not succeed.

We will win.

I think that the news background did not significantly affect the price reduction, and there have not been any important news lately. Many people who entered the market and waited for a quick "to the moon" were disappointed, and now, with a drop in prices, they may have started selling. Perhaps the reason why Bitcoin price falls is the lack of a flow of new money.

When there is such kind of situation that happened and everybody heard about it it can actually affect their interest of making involvement in crypto world. This will make the price dip but the said situation is just part of the reason of why crypto currency dip sometime, FUD,  media and the weak holders are also a big contributor of this dip time

In my opinion the reason of the price fall is because of the pump and dump group.

Pump and dump group are  denoting the fraudulent practice of encouraging investors to buy shares in a company in order to inflate the price artificially, and then selling one's own shares while the price is high.

I also think that falling of price is due the population of bitcoin users that sell or buy at the same time.

Source: Pump-&-Dump (https://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php%3Fterm%3Dpump%2520and%2520dump%26amp%3Dtrue&ved=2ahUKEwib3rmOhezbAhVOZt4KHWkwAI8QFjABegQIARAB&usg=AOvVaw2ugsJJtLWjHD4bP5gRpkiO&ampcf=1)

I don't think it's a good comparison. Bitcoin ain't no Tulip flower and here's why:

1. Only a limited number of BTC can be produced during a certain period of time and for life;

2. Bitcoin has no expiry date;

3. You can't even compare the level of education of those grasped by the Tulip mania and people who are using Bitcoin today.

The reason of the current price fall is that the whales want to buy more BTC at low price as soon as possible because they know well that massive adoption is around the corner, and that the more regular people will be holding Bitcoin the less manipulative power will remain in their hands. Basically, these are the last days they can influence the market to such a degree.

It is very sad to look at such a decline in prices for bitcoins and crypto currency in general. It remains only to wait and believe that we will again see a price increase and new records ...

I often hear the news that many exchanges have been hacked lately, maybe it also affects bitcoin prices because it can affect investor confidence.

One of the reason of price fall of bitcoin is the massive dumping of the holders specifically the investors who are new to the market who are not capable enough of knowledge in investing. Thats why it is one of the price fall.

I think the reason why the price are falling because of course the people are selling their bitcoins that is the only reason but the reason behind why they are selling is maybe because of some rumors that the bitcoins are falling and this is the end of the bitcoins of course if you do not know much in this thing you will believe that thing and in order to be safe of course you will stay away from bitcoins that is why a lot of people are selling that makes the price fall down much more they are panic selling.

Yes we will win at the end but i wish bitcoin and crypto world can filter those big fish who controls the market.

The reason of this decrease in price in bitcoin is so easy to solve. It is the spreading off news of FUD to those individuals especially who have no confidence for bitcoin and the cryptocurrency. Maybe they just invested because there friends says so and they had gain income in it and when they heard such news of FUD, they immediately sell to stop their losses. This is only an example but the truth.

 Probably yes, those negative news might affect the price of Bitcoin to fall. Another reasons is what they say manipulation and the correction that happens in the first month of the year. So maybe it's true since we can see in it's history that the first to second quarter of the year is the struggling time of the year for Bitcoin.

of course negative news greatly affects the psychological for traders and investors. let alone accompanied by falling prices, so they will panic sell. for that we must cool and calm and keep psychology stable

That was the price before. And now you are worried about such price declines. Before 100% bitcoin does that up in price, that in the bottom, for a few days.... So that friends are patient and wait for the price to change.

The price fall is not permanent, it is normal because of the volatility of bitcoin, it affect all coins when it dicrease its value or increase it. But ofcourse we are the first one that needs to know if its price will fall because we are the first one to be affected

Hackers and frauds are a big influence on the current crypto price. is very detrimental to investors but it is benefiting new investors who will buy crypto with large quantities and low prices.

What we see in these days is pure market manipulation: big players make massive selling, just to lower the price to buy againg cheaper.
That's normal. Keep calm.

This is so funny and nostalgic and the same time to really topic like that, because we have already seen Bitcoin going to $19,500. And then gets low to $6,000 again

I think the reason of falling of the price now is because of people panic selling because they see bitcoin is continuing to fall and whales so happy because many of people are selling their poor bitcoin. Stay calm because it will recover and you will regret why you sell your funds in a low price.

Last January and February of this year, Mt. Gox, Trustee, Nobuaki Kobayasi sold $400 million of bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. And in addition to the further fear in the market is that, he still owns $1.7 billion worth of Bitcoin. Finance, one of the popular crypto exchange has been hacked in a attempt to influence Viacoins price. And according to SEC, crypto exchanges should not be called by the name since it creates an illusion of regulated activity. Because there are various trading platform where investors are misguided. They made believed that the platform are SEC registered and regulated marketplaces even if they are not. A statement from Financial Services Agency (FSA) came out regarding the suspension of domestic crypto exchanges. And because of this, Bitcoin price will lead to nearly 11% plunge.

When there is more demand for a stock price goes up and when there is more sellers, price goes down. The reason for more demand can be due to some positive news on the company, like a report that shows profits have increased.

Similarly drop can be a news like government imposing some regulations that will affect the sales of the company. Like this there are various news flows which will direct the price moves. A person who is able to connect the dots of the news flows better and smarter has the edge to gain in the markets.

There are so many reasons for the price fall. If we talk about the basic one, it is the fall in the demand for the crypto or Bitcoin in particular that results in the price fall. The price can also fall due to rumors spread by those new guys who loss early money due to incomplete information about the technology and the market and thus make unwise decisions. Selling in the red market also contribute to loss.

I do not know this is true or false, I think the bitcoin price is down because here many people spread fud about btc so many people do panic sell and cause the price down, but I think there is a group of people who deliberately do that so bitcoin price down and buy it in large scale

if only this issues is happening today and the same prices has being mentioned I definitely sold my folios to buy sole coin and that is bitcoin running about $230 damn i will be a very rich person in fute,i hope i had been in this industry that year,when bitcoin is so cheaper but now thats harder from reality that we can purchase bitcoin

it`s an another circle? it`s funny to see in this year, how about 2022 when we look it back?

The current market conditions are bad due to hackers and bad issues about crypto. As a crypto holder I can only wait until the crypto market conditions recover and hold it for the long term

Some investors are very frightened of it, they panic when there is a bad thing issue that about crypto then withdraw their digital assets. I think this also greatly affects the price

Well, bitcoin does play an important role in the price of coins, especially now. we can see the proof, when the bitcoin price decreases, then almost all altcoins are dumped. well, that's because almost all altcoins are based on bitcoin prices.

Whether regular people like me and you keep calm or not it doesn't matter. The amount we, all combined, can sell or buy in one day is much less than that of the whales. So, we have to realize that keeping calm and holding during these days is to our advantage and not to anyone else's. In the past I thought that panic sellers can contribute significantly to the price falling, but not anymore. Only the whales can make a significant contribution to either falling or rising of the price. Since they have a lot of BTC it's in their interests to make the price of it higher, and surely they will make it higher eventually because they are capable of doing so.

The fall in market value of Bitcoin and other altcoins in recent times can be attributed to recent Fud and restrictions from different world governments that have created panic sales despite strong belief that Bitcoin's market value will reach $ 30,000 before the end of December this year.

Some people are saying that date of ban is coming near in India and thus all Indian investors are selling. This has caused decrease in price.

We see the only reason in present situations which is the demand of people, as the demand rate is low these days which brought decrease in the market value. But we know further that low market is the sight of people and they want to invest in low market in order to get large quantities of collection of coins or currency so that they may be able to make huge profit.

The crypto market is fluctuating recently. This situation affect the price of bitcoin. Manner of the governments against cryptos and speculative explanations by miners or mining companies fluctuate the prices.

It's because Bitcoin is still in developing process so price drops are just a part of it. But too much price drops are not good to us that holding most of the coins in the market for our future purposes. So having a good knowledge on what's going on everyday to crypto market is still needed for us to monitor our coins so that we'll not end up losing too much money instead of getting profits.

I also thinking that the reason of this price decreasing is thru the scammers who are gradually increasing.
Because some Investor are afraid to loss their money because of this criminals who are taking advantages for their self interest.
We need to stop them for the sake of Blockchain technology.

Maybe it is the mushrooming effect of other altcoins plus tokens makes the btc price dip. but still high hopes
 to pump this "ber" months.

Although, the dump in price might not good for cryptonier that planned to hold their coin for future purpose but the dump does open door for new investment opportunity and the best thing you can do is buy or invest more during the dump before the price start to surge.

I think their are a lot of causes now why the price of cryptocurrency has falling. Cryptocurrencies are suffering this bad and greedy people like now a lot of scammer's are entering the world of cryptocurrencies and sadly to say that a lot of investor's are afraid to invest their money in cryptocurrencies it's because of this uncontrollable scammers.

For me it's just a game of a villain investor who is playing the price. So it scares other investors to invest in bitcoins.

besides that when the price drops, do not spend our capital on one price, so we can buy again if the price is going down, of course must be in accordance with the analysis that has been made

yes and i do think there might be price manipulation here. Right when the news about police will investigate the price manipulation the market just going down like there is someone afraid to getting caught and there is a hacking problem in korea and also fud about bitcoin is a bubble make it worst. Someone said this is not a bottom and the bottom could be 5k and someone said 3k , but i dont think bitcoin would drop that deep, i believe this is just because market correction and it will recover.

could be like that? we know some whales have teams and they store thousands of bitcoins in their wallets? they can make an
influential speculation and they have the capital to organize bid and ask in the market, so manipulation can happen, it's just my speculation,

In this type of market, the manipulation is just a normal thing because a lot of people here are so rich and they have a lot of money to spend on the cryptocurrencies where they can manipulate it for their own so they can make a lot of money because they can cause a FOMO or fear of missing out from the people where they start panic buying and the whales will start panic selling.

In my opinion the big reason for the fall in the price is big investor’s manipulation of the price. They turn the price according to their wishes. When they want to sell the price will be very high and when they want to buy the price will drop as much as you never think of. Whales are the big problem for small investors. Due to their manipulation small investors lose their money.

I think this is due to price manipulation.

I think one thing that is very effective in controlling the market is the media. Once the media starts saying there would be a fall, you see people starts selling their Bitcoin to avoid the loss they will encounter then, and by the time they continue to sell, you see the price going down.

Same thing when happens when the media says there will be a rise, you see that people believes and starts buying immediately. So the media controls the Bitcoin market too.

Well that is the good and bad side of cryptocurrencies as they are not regulated, whales can influence crypto prices, but that is also a good way to make money, you just have to be on top of the matter and get in and out at the right time

There are a lot of reasons for the BTC to drop, so you wait patiently, prices will rise again.

In fact, too many things are the reasons why the bitcoin harvest may fall for now, but there is nothing wrong with it all. Actually the current demand for bitcoin is smaller than the current inventory, so bitcoin prices are lowered by the day , because This is not the first time bitcoin prices have gone down, but there are always some corrections and then again the price goes up to some extension and it will continue in the future as well.

The reason of the price drop.... a lot of indicators that might affect the price movement, traders behavior, FUD, bad or good news but most likely bad news affect the price crypto, the issues on Banned, Scammer, Hacking, and the critical move of some government financial institution, the trends ( down ward trend), market structure, and a lot more.

In my opinion there are many reasons for fall in the price. For example false statement, manipulation, low demand from the people and the authentication. Some people say that bitcoin is a bubble, some say it is manipulated, some follow false statements about bitcoin, so they do not invest tier money in bitcoin. The demand for bitcoin becomes low and thus the price falls.

There are many negative things that are going on on the world stage, and all of them are going along with each other, creating the puzzle of negative effect on the crypto currencies world.

There are many reasons but the main reason is price manipulation, followed by scam, hacker. What we should do now is hold.

I agree, big whales really matters the price of bitcoin in the market because they have enough money to invest more at bitcoin. Once they buy more bitcoin the price will soar high but once they sell more bitcoin also the price of bitcoin will go down in a series. Yes it is better to observe the trend of bitcoin and always be updated to prevent from getting loose at our investment.

You're right about the cryptocurrency scammer was one of the reason why the market was dump but you're wrong when you said Christmas and New year was among the reason because if Christmas and New year celebration was among the reason why would the price of bitcoin surge at the Q1 of the year 2017?

According to the official document issued by Mt.Gox, the trustee has sold Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash coins worth a total of $ 404 million, much lower than market prices, to be paid to victims of hacking. We recently learned that mt gox sales will not be done anymore. let's see how mt gox will impact on the market from now on.

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has announced that cryptographic currency exchanges listing ERC20 ICOs or tokens on their platforms must register with the agency to continue to support ERC20 tokens.
These events affected the bitcoin movement negatively. a negative atmosphere was created in a way that I could not fully understand. the negative attitudes in japan, which came three months ago, also affected the market in a negative way until that time.

There are quite a few reasons for the altcoin price drop, but the main factor is that nowadays too many people have withdrawn capital from the market, most of them are whales, they have withdrawn quite a lot of capital so they made the market. field dropped.

It's funny that this is the theme of 2015. Ie about "falling" of the market speak both then and now with an equally clever kind. Results are all visible. The prices fell for 2018? Undoubtedly. Nevertheless, even if you consider the gap in one year, you will get a price increase of almost three. Stop panicking people.

I don't think now the big trading and exchanger platform will be hacked again. And these days gambling sites are also putting bigger percentage of bitcoin  in cold storage to make it safe.

Looking back now,kind of funny to imagine that bitcoin at some time sold for 230usd.Barely 3 years ago.now we consider the market to be down at 6000+ USD,not very many investment s can make half of such growth in 5 years

big capital is waiting for clear regulation and not entering the market right now. small investors can't maintain the price of cryptocurrency that's why we see it falling.

These people need to control their emotion and stop their withdrawn coin or capital from the market, they are panic seller and I think these people are not more know about the benefits of the blochchain technology that what will be doing in coming future, so i hope the blockchain technology wiil be spreed very soon in the whole world.

There are different reasons for the market prices to fall, there are fud in other countries that are currently spreading and it affects the mind set of people or holders which can also make the market price to dump even more.

I think, here many different reasons on the market, what effect on price dropping at the same time, such as bad news. I think everyone remembers price drop by more than 60% because of news, when hackers hacked an exchanger, also important situation around crypto, I remember price drop on 13% after bitcoin was blocked in an Asian country.

Yes all the reason here is very affecting the price of bitcoin . But if the bitcoin is still in good demand and many users they have a chance that the price is going up little by a little . Whales can control the price and earn too much but this is for their own wealth . I think whales do their part to pump this , just put a little more patience and go with the flow .

I think price fall because people need to dump Altcoins, so they can buy more altcoins for cheap price, and some reason also when the Bitcoin and Ethereum red, the price of other altcoins have red also because many of them have conversation to BTC or ETH.

is still a conversation the possibility of everything saying the truth about the reason for the price reduction because it could have happened and it is true the price increase and the price decline depends on it all just a definite reason yet can be summarized why this can happen I can only hope that everything will come back just fine .

The one to blame is the whales they tried to hide they're exploit from covering it up with a hack were exchanges like the korean exchange were only stolen only about i think it was 30 million when i read the article from cointelegraph but the price went down to 300 bln. Seriously it takes more than that to fool us.

It is difficult to say some details of reason of the price fall. The main reason is current demand for bitcoin is less than the supply.So the prices for bitcoins are falling in this period.

Actually there's so many reason why the market price decrease and also that one of the reason why, but i think the reason is when the bad news release even its a fake news and many people sold their token because they follow what the others people do especially who people don't have enough knowledge about crypto market.

the reason why bitcoin prices fall may be because of bad news that makes bitcoin prices fall because of many traders who panic so many who sell at cheap prices and make bitcoin prices fall.

it seems that the reason for the falling bitcoin price is from bad news that attack bitcoin prices and circulating in some media about Fraud so a lot of traders who experience panic and sell at cheap price.

well actually media also become an important role in this matter. we can see that meeting several countries has made bitcoin prices to be under $ 10k. well, I think so many negative news about bitcoin lately.

because there are criminals who are playing, by selling all the bitcoin they have earned from the bitcoin scam website they have created, and also the falling XPY price is now also the cause of bitcoin down,
Many HYIP sites underwent bitcoin investments that led to a scam, and now it's time for scammers to sell bitcoin from their scam.

 I am always curious to read the topics two years or three years ago when the people was concerned about the price falling, and how did they manage those thoughts, because now we are having the similar situation.

For my own opinion,  the reason why the price of bitcoin is falling. Because bitcoin is decentralize which means there are no government who implements the price of it or we could say it's price is not manipulated by the government. Also,  one reason why it's price is falling because it works on supply and demand, which means if the supply is limited the demand is high, but is the demand is low it means it's supply is high. These are the reasons i think the cause of falling in bitcoin  price.

I think the price drops as it is now due to the prohibition of bitcoin usage in some countries even there has been an offense. This all makes a lot of people sell the bitcoin that makes the price fall. But calm down, when prices fall there must be many more investors who want to start investing. It will not be long before prices will rise again.

On June 10th, Coinrail announced that their system had been hacked. This spurred a 90-minute Bitcoin sell-off that took the price from $7,620 to $7,320. The incident saw the exchange lose more than 2.6 billion NPXS ($20 million USD) and more importantly for Bitcoin holders, it widened Bitcoin’s loss for the year to 48%.

Media covers a wide audience and could have a positive and negative impact in the increasing and decreasing number of demand whenever there are negative news against bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies. Aside from this, other considerable factors that affect the price would be the banning issues, panic selling, FOMO'S, FUDs, and misconceptions. It could also be due to the restriction of its usability or limitations of its wide acceptance.

Personally, I never thought the bad news would affect too much bitcoin, it should only affect to some degree, and the present case is very different, there seems to have been some change in this game, despite the resistance, the price of bitcoin always goes down. And I was thinking of a case, that is a new forces are entering the market, they are blocking the old forces pump the price, this has made the market almost chaotic, this is a war just ended when the winner appears, this situation will last for some time, the most carpet will be the middle and small investors, they are suffering the fragments of this war

Reason due to which the price of Bitcoin fall is it's demand.Whenever the demand for Bitcoin is decreased, a drop is seen in it's price.The demand for Bitcoin is affected by any false news regarding it.We often see a drop in the price when a news against Bitcoin is there.This is because people investing in Bitcoin starts selling their BTC's on large scale in order to get maximum profits out of their investments because they think that the price will keep on decreasing .But this panic selling drops the price more.

Well there are many reason bitcoin is fall down like bubble , hacked exchange sites and banning a country not to invest bitcoin like China. But commonly bitcoin fall when at beginning month of the year and dump up at the near end of the year.

But instead of listening those fake news we should search and explore different site to know about the reality, it is not good to listen other people as most of them are just there to distract you and it will get you lose to paying attention towards those fake news, other thing I want to say that one should not sell their coin at panic, not even in the worst situation, just have patience price will recover soon.

This is already the history and rest is here with us. We are from nearly 19000 $ to 6000 $ in just matter of six months. Well. i believe we didn't had an organic growth back then. but i trust the next bull run is going to crazy and organic growth.

I think this is something like a correction, whales want to add hamsters to their bitcoins and crypto currency, you need more patience and wait for reverse growth.

there may be many reasons why bitcoin prices go down. it is true that bitcoin prices are falling at the moment but there is nothing wrong with that. may be the cause factor is from the point of demand and supply. maybe the current demand for bitcoin is smaller than the supply or supply, so the bitcoin price is lowered by the day. and I'm sure if demand can be greater than the offer, maybe the price will rise again. This is not the first time bitcoin prices have gone down, but there are always some corrections and then prices go up again to some extensions and I hope it will continue in the future as well. and it could be because of the negative news about bitcoin.

The manipulation of the big whales one of the reason why bitcoin falls down,they are spreading false news to be afraid those people who holding bitcoins and they sell it in a lower price even they are losing their profit,and because of the big supply of bitcoin in the market this is the reason of bitcoin huge price drops.

The reason for the price of bitcoins to fall is just very simple, since market price is depending on supply and demand then there are more people right now who are preferring to sell their coins due to some reason which is fud or panicking.

In my country government television and advertisements are trying to set the People's attitude towards bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies to negative side, so people would not trust in them.

People often say it is of no use for a thing to perform better in an environment where there is blackness of your enemy or competitor. That is really absorbing in this case as well. Bitcoin is single element and this whole world of scam and fakeness is just revolving around them finding anything that can be used as bad for promotion. And that is why bitcoin has faced so much threats.

the reason why prices are falling? probably because of bad news about bitcoin. like the news a few weeks ago if hacked exchangers and hackers managed to steal bitcoin. probably because that the bitcoin price drops. hope, market will rise again.

Very simple is the funding problem. Investors will naturally sell if they don’t make money, and then make withdrawals to make money elsewhere. This is the most fundamental reason.

Several reasons are responsible for the price up and down but all are not contributing equally, the main factor is the demand factor which controls the product formed. I mean to say that increase in demand rate increase the value and decrease in demand rate decreases the value which is a general factor. Now the current market indicates that the demand rate has decreased that is why the value is low.

Currently we are just looking at the graph rating of the demand and price lines which are fluctuating with the passage of time irregularly. This means that the market is unstable and we do not have a stable price in the market which is currently around 6k dollar. However this price reflects a favorable market for people so as to get large quantity Bitcoins by investing fewer amounts.

As one of the reasons of the last drop can be called ICO ads ban by Facebook and the hack of South Korea exchanger the last week. The situation is seemed coming to normal, but who knows for how far?!

In my few months of investing in cryptocurrency until now i don't really know whats happening why the market is falling because when i invested i did not mind that this will happen in my choice crypto currency investment.

In my opinion, the reason of price go down is the massive selling of bitcoin due to some bad news around the cryptoworld that force the investors to sell their coins.

There's many reason why prices in the world of crypto currency is falling especially as of now. Maybe many stock in the market, many competitors regardless in the prices, marketing of crypto currency, dumping and bumpimg of the project.

It doesn't matter if the price fall will last until this year because it doesn't matter, it is all about long term plans and sticking to it because that is the secret for a very progressive move for each and one of us, price fall are just challenge for us if we will be able to cope up with the situation and still be hungry like before.

When there is a lot of factors affecting a single product, instantaneous changes are meant to happen, it's just like the stock market, if there is nothing controlling the stock price it will go wild on its own, so bitcoin is doing the same thing, international politics and demand and supply chaining causes rapid volatility.

This is actually called the historical analysis and it is one basic step for banks to manage the liquidity however you are using it to manage the Bitcoin decisions. In my opinion, the prices fall because either the demand in the market reduces as the people let go of their coins in the red market which also decrease the prices or there might be market recession or some external factors that may do so.

They sold their coins because of the emotion and they are afraid of the market to go even deeper in terms of price so they are going out and quitting their position because they know that if they are going to stay longer then they could lose more which they cannot afford to happen so because of their panic selling the supply exceeds the demand which makes the price fall.

So we should be careful in doing business with cryptocurrency because its market is very volatile and if you missed to choose a profitable you will be losing too much of your investment.

I see the major reason which controls the value and is responsible for the value ups and downs. The value fluctuates when the demand rate alters and sometimes gets stable when there is equilibrium in the market. All the market conditions mainly depend upon the demand rate and the current situations and downfalls indicate that the demand rate has decreased and will take some time to recover again.

Anyone you ask this question will always tell you that it’s due to the rate of demand has decreased while the rate of supply has increased lol😂😂. Well, that is the truth, cause I don’t see any other way you can explain what is happening here apart from that.

When the whales invest a huge amount of money, that adds an increase to the rate of demand and when they withdraw their investment and profit the rate of demand decreases, making the rate of supply to increase. And by the way, this is an old post😕.

No, I don’t think so this will be the reason for such drop. There are so many news coming every day from different areas of world. Some are good and some are bad. But this would let bitcoin to get down so quickly. Bitcoin isn’t this much weak in its performance that with only one news about some exchange, it just drops down like nothing. This might have been a game of whales.

Obviously there is a domino effect. When a big whale sells and the price drops, some people see that as a bad omen and they sell too, they are afraid, and now that a whale and some other people sold others keep on selling as well, this way the more people sell the more people keep selling as well and we go into a whirl of sales for a while until people who are afraid and wants out run out of coins.

After that only people who are not willing to budge and big time hodlers like me stays, after that the table turns and there are more buyers than afraid sellers.

It has been talked before. Mainly its because of two points, one is the futures, because of the futures whales look at whats most profitable. Also during december bull run a lot of new blood came into the market trying to make quick profits. When they were leaving they left with their money as well, which caused the price to go down as well.

Whales saw this as a chance to make money and kept selling bitcoin and buying futures with it, shorted the price. They kept selling and buying futures until they reached the desired price. Combining these two made bitcoin price go down.

You may tell the truth. I don’t know about any other project behind bitcoin. If you are right then definitely bitcoin will be affected but still there is no sign of that. Bitcoin still is more reliable and people trust it the most. Fall in the price might be due to this hided project. It will damage bitcoin but will not overtake it due to the belief and trust of the people around the globe.

There is many things can make the markets will collapse. Like politics, fake news and others, so now you can wait for a reversal. And then you can sell it if the price is high and make a profit.

Demand and supply in the market determine the market price, if demand is far less than the offer then the price will fall and vice versa.

Our decisions are valuable and we may not sell out in this market otherwise result will punish you. We may look at this low market which can be the result of many factors but we know of one major factor which controls the price of Bitcoin called its demand or buying rate of people. This is considering the most solid reason for the price fluctuations, downfalls and jumps.

1.The reason why the price of bitcoin falling is not using bitcoins. After December many people sell their bitcoin due to some events like Christmas and New Year Most of them sell there high coins which case demand decrease and its start falling.

2. Not only this nowadays a lot of scammers are sitting right there and scammed people's bitcoins day by day we're losing our hopes and lifting our interest with bitcoins and cryptocurrency. But I believe it will rise soon

In 2017, the price of BTC has overdrawn and increased too much, and the market's funds are not enough to support it.

Throughout the life of bitcoins, there have been UPS and downs. Previously, there were fewer investors who were willing to invest large amounts. In 2017, investors became much more, which is why in 2018, there were a lot of offended and disadvantaged investors who can not sell bitcoin to themselves in the negative. They are surely waiting when the price will rise.

Most of the people today prefer to sell their coins due to some different reasons, but the most dominant reason is the negative speculations that is being produced by different analyst which affects the market prices to dump.

There was a huge fud on the market and there was a lot of pression too, so the price has been dumped hard, i have seen a lot of icos dying because of this market too, and it is more than sad, but what can we do about this? Just wait and see what happens next

Yes you're right the price fall is because of exchanges were hacks and also the government banned bitcoin in other country that's also a possible reason and because of that many investors fallback and do not invest so we can do now solve that issue to improve more the value of bitcoin and make a positive reason to it.

It is not only in Asia but in the whole world the situation is very worst. People are withdrawing or converting their money to Altcoin because of the falling price of bitcoin and due to this the price is dropping more and more. Whales are also the reason for falling bitcoin price. Maybe there are other reasons but these two are the big reasons for fall in the price.

Price generally falls with demand rate and for a specific source like the Bitcoin its price falls with decrease in its demand rate. Now days the Bitcoin is inside its low price circle but we have seen that price has been improving since 7 days which is a very good point for all of us. Now our only focus should be on present market which has benefit for us to invest with greater amount in order to have large quantity of coins on low rate.

People are aware of this demand and they are looking for the right opportunity to invest on lowest price so that they use lesser money which is a benefit and is available in the current market. The low market price indicates that people’s demand has reduced that is why the value has decreased. Now this low market is encouraging people again to place their wealth here which is better for us if we do so.

You should also know that bitcoin is volatile, meaning price is ever changing. It might increase continuously but there is also an opposite reaction which may cause the decrease of price. Be aware that unless bitcoin is fully recognized and accepted, there will be no stable price. That's why, while people is not yet into it, buy now and have it as an investment, in time, I will go stable.
