What are the driving factors for crytpocurrency valuation?

Scarcity? Utility? Use? Demand? Network? or am I off base already?

All cryptocurrency price is base in supply and demands the more demands of this coins the higher the value of this and the more people selling there coins the more also lower there price.

All the above factors determined bitcoin pricing and valuation. Bitcoin always increase when it demand is high due to what people hard about it and many people and countries has seriously benefits from bitcoin volatility and fluctuations. I think bitcoin has done very well for all of us and we only need to keep buying and holding in other to move fund from fiat market to cryptocurrencies markets.

Many factors influence the price of cryptocurrency firstly, supply & demand if the cryptocurrency supply is too high but less demand the value of that coin will be low if the supply is limited but demand is high then price rises for example Bitcoin it has circulating supply of 16.9million but as you know everybody is demanding bitcoin so its price is on top of other currencies. Secondly, the usability of a product means the coin that is related to that project has some use in the real world & can practically solves the problem too, for example, Ethereum second high valued coin is very beneficial to developers to launch their coin, because it offers to solve a real-world problems for developers who are going to launch their Token in the market not need to deploy their own blockchain instead they can build on Ethereum platform aka ERC-20 Token. Finally, news in the market related to cryptocurrencies can also heavily influence the price of the coin whether it is against or in favour of cryptocurrencies.

It still boils down to the basic economic law of supply and demand. Here, look at some threads regarding bitcoin price and supply and demand.

Some of them might be old thread, but they are still applicable specially today since we are in a roller coaster ride.

For small cap coins - this is speculation only in 90% of cases. Be prepare for 'miracles' on daily basis.

For Top 10 coins - it's out of our reach. I'm staying away from.

With critical analysis, I believe that usage of a coin is very important and it links every other thing, from scarcity, to demand and supply. Lets look at this for instance, if the coin fulfils a very good niche and purpose, it simply means that the usage will be high which will have an effect on demand for it and that will course investors to see the coin as a source of investment. Hence, the popularity gives growing.

You are correct mate, is is basically based on demand and total supply that is the best thing that you can see if crypto is really potential or not. Because the more people like it the more it has many buyers and the whales are going to buy this.

Well, the funny thing is that all these smaller coins result in more losses for people overall, than it results in profits. It's a simple matter of calculating your risk exposure, where high rewards always translate into high risks.

If we look at the top tier cryptos in this market, then it's safe to say that they all have offered people solid returns based on their fiat value, while the rest of the shitcoins jump up and down like crazy.

Nothing even justifies putting your hard earned money into these coins. It's no longer considered investing or trading, but straight gambling. If anyone thinks they can thrive on luck alone, then it just shows how stupid people really are.

Top coins represent some sort of stability, solidity, adoption, etc. What do other coins represent? Just reckless gambling behavior.

The cryptocurrency valuation is simple to understand because peoples are looking to high potential cryptocurrencies so demands are increasing automatically value also raise in the market this is main valuations. But you are looking to trading don't follow the same way you analyse the future possibilities of that coin then only you are getting some idea about the cryptocurrency.

Nowadays the main factor for trading is demand for the coin , now whenever any new news is posted by the coins developer the price easily shoots if you try to buy during that time you will surely end up losing lot of money as the hype will go so what you can do is look at different coins roadmap and most of them have an eta so you can purchase right before it

as much as i like to say otherwise, the main thing driving the prices is greed. specially when it comes to altcoins. of course there is no denying it that in the long run only use cases of a cryptocurrency can keep the prices up, otherwise anything that has no bases will vanish just as fast. for example when an altcoin is just pumped with no real demand and only with hype, that higher price simply vanishes as the hype goes away and the dumping begins.

but for something like bitcoin, the usage of it and the real adoption that it has will always remain there. there is obviously hype and greed there too and they vanish but the underlying reality never changes. that is why bitcoin ALWAYS goes up in the long run.

Demand is the factor which decides the valuation of the cryotocurrency but the demand can be created for its various reasons like use,the technology and as an investment.But if you want to trade you need to get the appropriate knowledge for trading which is analytical amd decision making skills.

I just learn Supply and Demand method to trade in this market. But it's my personal option, you can learn some methods and try one which compatible with you. And also read news daily. Good luck and happy trading  ;D

Demands.
So if ever I will try to buy one crypto I will try to read every details in their telegram group including how people interact with them.
If they are really active and the project means a lot to them then you are seeing strong holders.

I have one with 12k members in it and I see different names that are all giving their shares about the project and updates.

Well you can have a look a the coin's official site and read it's whitepaper, roadmap, it's technology and not to forget the coin details and charts.

In any market in the world, supply and demand affect the price of a commodity, if the demand is high,  the price goes up and if supply is higher than demand, the price goes down, same applies to crypto coins, if many people demand for them and buy them, prices shoot up which they call a bullish movement and when people sell a currency vice-versa

The valuations are made up by the market participants it is simple as that. However, the price discovery is something else and I would argue that most projects out there are too hyped up right now, and because of that most are going to fail in hilarious fashion. Will be interesting to see which coins remain!

Actually your on the right track but the most important factor of bitcoin is utility because it has the capability to the change how payment works. Without it's futuristic features i think bitcoin will not be demanded and the price will not be as of today. Supply and demand is only based if the commodity is marketable.

the digital currency has a limited supply, so if the supply is decreasing, then the price of the coin will be expensive, but there will be a risk of falling prices when the crypto currency bills start to circulate where ,, and maybe it will be a nightmare for who have invested in high prices ,,

Almost all of the things that you said provide valuation to any type of cryptocurrency. But, in a sense, I think, the main thing that drive the valuation of any type of market is the politics within it. Yes, people in this type of market doesn't even care whether the coin's supply is scarce or if it has real-life use. The rich people enter this market and they will provide the value of something as long as it will provide them profit in the end. Their main goal is not about the real value of it but the income that they could gain from it. They can over-value a coin thinking that at the end, they can make huge money out of it and then they will dump it to those smaller people who will give them the money that they want.

I think you are not off base,but you are on track. Basically, Scarcity refers to the finite nature of the coins. In economics, a fixed supply of a certain item would increase its value in the long term, assuming its demand increases. This creates scarcity, as there is only a limited supply of coins in circulation. For instance, Bitcoin’s maximum supply is fixed at 21 million coins. Especially for coins that have a great utility, demand will undeniably push its value up.
Some coins even employ a “burning” mechanism, which refers to the act of destroying a portion of the coin supply. This would increase the value of the coin as there is now a much lesser supply of coins.

Utility, A coin must have a strong function (or use-case) to incentivize people to hold the coins; a coin’s utility is strongly correlated with its value.  ETH for example,In order for anyone to execute commands and develop applications in the Ethereum Blockchain one needs to have ETH, as it will be converted into gas and represents the ‘fuel’ for the Ethereum ecosystem. Therefore, ETH is used as a currency within its system to fuel transactions and development. The more people that execute transactions and develop apps, the greater the demand for ETH and will, therefore, push prices up.
I think that other factors like advertisement, politics, influence by notable people in the society etc ,may also help to push the prices of some coin up.

Everything you said can really affect the valuation of cryptocurrency, this is how volatile the market is. Its not too late, the market are quiet dump in the pasts weeks meaning you can have your cryptocurrency at a lower price. Try to make a study for at least 5 coins and start investing.

the factor that affects the price of the coin is if the demand for coins and the total supply of slightly automatic coins the price will be high, let alone the coin has a good network advantages

cryptocurrency valuation is usually based on demand and supply just like any other market commodity.But on the average it has to do more with price speculation rather than on an intrinsic value within the cryptocurrency and that usually drives the price too more because people anticipate a future price and so buy more now.It is however important to note that some currencies have utility and so their prices are also dependent on that.

the factor that determines the value of crypto is the amount of demand and the decrease in demand, when many people make a continuous purchase then the value of coin will rise and vice versa if many people do panic sales then the value of the coins will go down

It's about supply and demand. The more people who wants to buy it, the higher its price will be but when people refuse to buy it because they think it is overvalued at the moment then they would sell it. Due to the limited supply of a coin and the high demand for it, price would increase but if people do not want to use it then price decrease.

It is a combination of several factors but what factor that greatly affect the price nowadays is the news. The whales control the media so if they want to drive the value up, they would just release several good news and if they want to drive the value down they would release some bad news FUD after FUD and it would have a big effect because people will react regardless if it is just a rumor or an actual news.

Accessibility is one of the factor that almost outweigh all that on your list why you ask? Of course im predicting what might your possible response are it is either yiu can contact all of the members on the team also the CEO are participating upon the activities on all their campaigns then the support comes after that like if you have issues on your side they can help you with ease you must not overlook what im talking cause each of which is essential to identify what's good and bad for most traders.

It can be possible but I think the price are now more depend on news specially with FUD news.
Investors are taking care right now because of so many happenings in cryptoworld in the past months but I still believe they will come when the market is in the stable support now.

The first valuation before ICO is driven by Developer team valuation, how useful to people for creating demand, in which business sector, how big is the market, etc. If after ICO, valuation is driven by supply and demand. But this supply and demand significantly determined by the successful of developer to convince all stakeholder for the utility acceptance in the market area.

Supply and demand are the two major factors in the world of crypto coins that determine the value of a specific digital currency with time. For instance, bitcoin is available in a very scarce amount but its demand is at high levels. But there is more to story than that. It is also the actions of big investors that effect the price greatly. Whenever a big selling out or buying is done, the value decreases and increases a lot respectively.

Well, all the options which you have personally linked it like Demand, Utility, Network Scarcity, Use are useful for driving the valuation of the cryptocurrency, but the major one which is solely responsible for the ups and downs of the bitcoin is Demand and Supply. Then come the Utility and Network where it is being used on a high scale basis where the demand and supply is been generated. Apart from all these nowadays the news and major announcements are also affecting the bitcoin and other crypto coins.

Many people try to drop the bitcoin price to buy the cheapest price. this is fair because the bitcoin price increase is unreasonable and this is very dangerous for the latest community. They will be investors with high risk because money will be a strong attraction.
emerging new rules so investors are more cautious to invest. as is being done by the current G20 countries.

Yes the demand and supply have a greater effect in the bitcoin price on which everyone wanted to have even it is a high risk there are still many people wanted to use it because of it's uses that everyone can be able to use without having too many requirements. I'm also agree with you that the news are having a big role in crypto market now on which it can help the bitcoin to expose its good platform to the investors so that they are become aware for the bitcoin development and encourage to invest.

Demand and the supply is the only measure which we use to measure the exact market value of any of the coin amongst all the coins which are there or even in determine the market value of any other thing as well. Being newbie, you only need to focus on learning of as many new things as you can and that you need to learn the tactics by getting enough of the trading practice and knowing more things.

I think it is important, a potential project and development, we have to pay attention to important factors such as whether the community is strong or not, the project has applications. In particular, whether the development team is strong or not, who they are and who are experienced in this market. These are the very important factors for you to determine whether the coin is valid or not.

I don't really consider a lot of factors in trading so I want to make it simple and easy.
I based on the demand, I mean real demand and since we cannot see it right now, we have to think of the future to know its potential.
I do long term holding of coins that I like and I made sure I do research before buying.

Demand, I'm sure everything in the world of cryptocurrency especially trading already knows this because crypto is decentral, but lately the demand is driving because the news is so indirectly that it is pushing the value of cryptocurrency.

The price of cryptocurrency depend on the benefits and advantages that they give to the their community, if the coins has many benefits the demand will increasing and offcource the price will rise. Limited supply also will effect the price, the price will fast grow when more demand and will be fast going down when the demand decrease. Learn more about technical  and fundamental analysis also will help to more understand price action of the coins.

All you mentioned are factors in determining the price of any cryptocurrency. I think Demand is the most important of them all. If there is a high demand, prices tends to go high.

Greed and FOMO is the power of crypto market) Everybody here is waiting high prices in future that can make them rich) most of crypto have very poor real usage and future monetization imho now just speculation.

Demand also is determined by a lot of factors. The manipulation of whales, the news whether it's positive or negative, speculations. That's aside from the demand and supply factor. You just have to be ready to react to these factors.

basically the value of bitcoin is based on its scarcity due to the limited price of bitcoin with only 21 million pieces. if there is an increase in interest then bitcoin prices will increase and if there is a decrease in interest then bitcoin prices will also decrease. but the increased interest is also influenced by issues circulating in the community. so essentially bitcoin prices are influenced by the issues that are in circulation.

Market is on the rise today after a dip. I am sure many people are going to sell seeing the green market and cash out. Dont worry this is the normal cycle of buy and sell that goes on in the market and its nothing to be afraid of. Being FOMO is not new it happens with everyone but its important to identify any mistakes if done and rectify those as and when necessary.


The whales will always be there - but what people should do is observe and take their chances accordingly.

First of, welcome to trading crypto! but you can actually earn alot from this so this is a very nice opportunity for alot but you can actually lose alot because of this so watch out for that.

We have observe it all, when the market rises the demand is present. Those factors could really determined the value reason's that affects the market. When their is demand ofcourse the price will rising so it is necessary to know the risks in cryptocurrency.

If you would base your analysis on those whales who manipulates bitcoin by buying and selling it then the answer is the supply and demand. This also includes as what you have said , the scarcity. Actually its a chain reaction where all you have listed in their belongs to the reason. But i dont care, as long as i can ride with the volatility and earn profit from it, from time for sure.

One thing is very much sure and that is the demand of the crypto currencies will keep on increasing at a very significant rate with time because then, more number of people will be knowing about this concept and will look for the ways using which they can also invest their money into any of the crypto coin. Trading is no doubt the toughest thing to do but if done carefully, can be the most profitable thing as well.

We cannot change the normal scenario in the crypto, the price is volatile but we can always take this as a positive thing
as long as we know what factors to consider on why the price is moving, this would benefit us if we are a smart day trader as anytime we can
gamble to make short term profits.

Thanks for your suggestion. It is very useful.

Yes price fluctuations is normal but deeply what makes the price fluctuates or more in a particular coin that pumps hardly you have to know everything in detail on the back of it. On what you say it not good don't use gamble in trading it is not a blind buying except you are doing that without any analysis.

Still the supply and demand makes a great contributions to this and everything is just secondary. I mean even we have a high demand yet there's an unlimited supply then you must just counting stars in the universe while having a huge supply but there's no demand then it will be just nothing. Therefore, if these two join force together the value tends to increase. Supply and demand dictates the value and it applies in everything.

Well I should welcome you to the forum  :D
And no you cannot earn a lot from trading right away. Trading needs patience and timing along with experience which is gradually gained by keep an eye on the market specially when news about crypto are spread.


Its not always demand in crypto. True demand supply ratio has an effect but also FUD news and fake news are used to manipulate the market. Determining where the market price of some coin will end up after a bull run or bear run is tough and its better to put a certain stop loss and not be greedy in order to to attenuate the risk as far as possible.

I guess all of above it can't be one factor. For sure supply and demand will drive the price of any coin but his demand can be artifical. Big whales know how to speculate the prices and P&D (Pump and dump) is very common in any new crypto currency.

Following are the major factors experts says

• Limited Supply and supply/demand
• Energy put in in the form of electricity to secure the blockchain
• Blockchain difficulty level
• The utility of the currency, and how easy it is to use and store
• Perceptions on its value by the public
• Price of Bitcoin
• Media
• Investors
• Scams
• Market dilution
• Innovation
• Confidence in traditional systems
• Legal/Governmental issues

I think that the cryptocurrency value depends much on the demands, this is the factor which make coin price keep growing. These day, bitcoin is greatly popular all over the world,even it partly takes a big impact on our global economy. Therefore, the demand for using cryptocurrency is getting increased significantly because almost people all want to get benefit and bitcoin is also a good and a convenient way to earn benefit.  Especially, in crypto market, we can do investing,trading and the like ,it gives us many chances to get profit but you know it also brings lots of risks. I don’t know whether another factor can affect bitcoin value but the demand of its is one of the best cause.

what you mentioned are all the factors that affect the crypto market, and in the bitcoin that causes a decrease in the price is due to the increased supply and the reduced demand is what causes the price reduction as well as the opposite.

Probably the tow biggest factors that deive the price of a cryptocurrency are the supply and the concept or utility, if you are about to look into investing into a new cryptocurrency that is about to launch you should look for the reason why it was created, what are the problems in the cryptocurency market that this coin is targeting and what are its solution, what does this coin brings to the field, and with having a great concept people would invest in it and with a limited supply as time goes its price will start going up, hut like bitcoin.

Scarcity and demand remain the two major factors that determines the crypto currencies pricing. People has not started using bitcoin as a mode of payment for goods and services, therefore we should not think that use determine the price of bitcoin.  Many hold that hold their coins is the reason why bitcoin has not fall completely in price and those that are sell are the reason why bitcoin is falling in price.

Let's start at the beginning. You may have heard many things about what a cryptocurrency is, but you may still be searching for an understandable definition. I hear ya, I was in the same boat for a long time. Instead of getting too technical, here's the easiest way to think about cryptocurrencies:

Good Lucky !

Is it posible to start trading with 100 USD?

Sounds like a new thread, but with $100 from what I have gathered here, buy and hold (looking at trends today). Could that change tomorrow, yes. Weigh the risk, reward but I imagine you should hold at least 6 mo. to a year with $100 and no trading experience. If not longer.

In the trading scene the supply demand is important for those who trade huge volumes. Specifically talking about whales who pump the market. The noticeable pumps and dumps are due to whales only. There the demand may be small but the volume change with respect to time is big.

New generation blockchain networks like AION need more exposure to get public demand. Not that I am endorsing it but using it as reference.

I am sure miners will be ready to adapt to new algorithms if ever applied.

Of course the price will recover and shoot ahead of the all time high once again. But its needs to be given time for the market to recover.

We can see that the market has been fluctuating continuously over the past few days and it is difficult to predict. Both exchanges are red, bitcoin and altcoin prices are extremely strong in recent days and there is no clear signs of recovery. Therefore, in order to have successful commercials, you need to have a specific commercial plan in line with the information channels.

Well, all the happenings in a digital market today is basically comes in the flow of supply and demand which changes the value day to day. Although some altcoins are pumping and some are dump.The predection of 2018 bitcoin is quit promising hopefully this will recover as early this year.

Hopefully because if the market will not recover we will lose a lot of money especially those people who bought during the peak of last year.
Patience is very important here, we cannot be successful if we do not trust the future of the crypto, we need to hold and be strong so we can avoid panicking.

WIth our new technology cryptocurrency is important currency to our era today. Now is the start of aquarius era which mean thevtechnology era. So crypto consist with markets deman and supply that hows trade works. When the crypto is so good and people will buy this and consider to be valuable. Crypto increase value when the demand is high and market is bullish so technically thats market trend.

I dont understand what connection there is between having information channels and price rise/fall of bitcoin or altcoins. This idea seems applicable to pump and dump altcoins where a pump signal is given in their "information channel" aka twitter/facebook/telegram group and then the crew essentially pumps it up while the initiator of the signal sells and cashes out, laughing at the huge loss of the koolaid crew.

Even if the market does not recover you can recover your money. Patience and faith is needed. If you truly believe in the value of some coin then keep your belief steel-strong.

Cryptocurrencies were designed as a unit of exchange and as a place to store assets without relying on a central bank,

Introduction

​Cryptocurrency is a new revolutionary type of currency. Like any other currency or unit of account, they only have value because people think it has value. Some currencies are backed by gold or other precious metals; others are backed by nothing but hot air although have value because people think it has value and use it as a unit of exchange.

This crypto market is being greatly affected by the ones who have invested a major portion of their earnings into crypto coins as they are the major stakeholders and that they actually play a key role in deciding the market value of any of the crypto coin. However, you just need to stay focused and that you need to keep on doing your work which can then help you in getting something good.

Those who invested much into bitcoin, they are not supposed to worry at all. Bitcoin is going to not let down any of the supporters provided they are not letting it down. We need to support it for our better future and its fast recovery.

The more we are going to support it, the sooner bitcoin will recover in prices. There is no way I am going to give up on my coins because the time and crypto market keeps changing.

It is possible. Just pick the altcoins that are not so much expensive but have the future. For instance, buy VeChain, Stellar, IOTA. You can bet on EOS also.

Scarcity demand and uses are the factors that are driving the community into geeks. If you want to learn new things you've got to control yourself before learning other things step by step learning not the other way around. Only exceptional individuals with great capacities to comprehend such ideas can handle them and if you think you're just an average person learn the slowly but surely way.

It is good to use this currency for the future and the trading required the deep knowledge of the market and the history of crypto coins like bitcoin and the Ether NEO and Doge coin etc these are the basics when you want to make some prediction about these coins and if we look at the market the people are loving to use and in this way we can also do trade different things for bitcoin.

Well, it is not all about picking coins unless he looking at the long term pattern of trading. If what he is looking forward to is to be able to do some short term trading, then I will advise he should learn and try as much as possible to use the knowledge to trade on any of those coins which he would still need to be very careful based on the level of volatility in the market.

All the above, buying and holding some of the coins now for the long term profit can actually get that $100 up in no time without stress coupled with the way the market has been for a while now.

VeChain and EOS is what I would suggest. With 100USD one can try buying some altcoins but would not be worth it if you ask me. I would say 500$ in the minium to start trading with some good altcoins - which would include litecoin ethereum dash and monero and some new ICO investments if the person is willing to take the risk.

Overall I think the OP is simply a shitposter would managed to collect some 100$ from shitbounties and now wants to trade it. Good luck anyway. ;D

The driving factors of Cryptocurrency valuation are Trust/Faith (based on value and demand for any currency), Valuation of Prospective Market (value based on the market capitalization), Speculation (strong driving force in determining the value of cryptocurrencies) and Investor’s Perspective (investors expectation that the market to take and will become in the future).

The most important element for coin valuation or the driving factors is the demand of particular coin in the market. The more people are willing to buy the boost of prices is high and vice versa less the investors less the price. One more factor is the scarcity of the more demanded coin which boost the price with much higher jump. So these are the main elements in valuation.

Yes and it is possible to keep increasing that as well as decreasing it based on your knowledge. As long as you are dedicated to learning and you are able to start making use of the knowledge to your advantage, then you will be able to do very fine with the little you have. Most times, I always encourage those who are new to trading to always try as much as possible to even start low as that is the only way they can gain experience without panicking based on all that they have learned.

Focused mindset will finish off half our work everywhere and in trading too. Beginners in trading must focus on learning prime things like making strategies and analyzing charts. If then focus on avoiding losses then they can find trading as an interesting job for life.

which greatly affects the price of a cryptocurrency today is demand, we all know the economic laws that if demand increases then prices will rise.
but seeing the current situation of news greatly affect the price of cryptocurrency.

If need to start the new trading process. First learn the process and invest the trading. This process information help to start the trading.  Trading is not to easy. It to risk. If know all process then easy to mange trading process. It connect the all country people. So it help to country people easy to exchange any country currency and  it any time to exchange. But before start the trade check the market price. Then you start. Time is important for this process. So time to complete and time to acct. It help to communicate with all country people. So you get more ideas and more information easy to gather.   

i think in crypto, after the supply decreased, it didn't guarantee at all, that price will be so expensive. if those crypto no use (only buy-hold-sell) and no other profit where we can gain for it, the era of cryptocurrency will be end faster than we expect

,

It's always depend on the use and demand of a cryptocurrency, the more useful it is for the people, the more demand and a higher price it would be. And it's one of the most important factor for a cryptocurrency that will help to everyone to choose the best crypto that we might use for investing or trading that will give us the profit that we always wanted.

I don't think people are buying crypto currencies based on usage because we never use crypto currency in our daily life we just consider crypto as an money making investment.So what make the value for the crypto is scarcity and the reputation because bitcoin price is very huge when compared to others it is due to the reputation and the limited quantity.

It depends on the use and the CryptoCurrency price are depends on supply and demand the more demand of the coins the value are increasing and if many people trying to sell their coins it decreasing.

The demand is important but do consider the population who is into crypto and the extent to which they can purchase crypto for future. Most average earning people wont be able to buy tonnes of bitcoin in one month's salary whereas in the stock market they may be able to. So dont compare the stock market economics with crypto economics.

Traditionally it is the whales who pump and dump the market - small cap investors are hurrying to follow the whales and often get washed out.

all you mentioned is the price factor except the last point.
the most influential is the demand.
the more demand the better the heart.

You need to be prepared before entering into trading, you need to ask advise from those experts so that you can gain knowledge from them.

You are not off base all of those things are very important, but what happens with cryptocurrencies is that probably hype can be more important than all of those factors, if the marketing team of a coin is able to create great enthusiasm in the forum about their project there is almost no limit to the price the coin can reach but if there is not such hype the growth of the coin will be a lot slower.

It is true, demand is perhaps the greatest factor that is needed to be considered in terms of trading. However, we have to take into consideration other factors in the market. We have to remember that there are pump and dump groups in which they tend to increase the demand in the coins in order to pup the price only to dump it afterwards. Therefore, one must always do research about the coins' history in terms of its buy and sell movement as well as its utility.

At this present time, all cryptocurrency coin price is very low. as this result, many cryptocurrency holders are more profitable side select to treading. If trading is risky but it's more profitable sector

The above things depend on the value of Bitcoin. And Bitcoin's price depends on its availability and demand. But as a new trader, you must first get enough ideas about this market.

If you are new to trading I will recommend you to learn about trading first it not that easy how it looks it's very hard and it can give huge losses if someone starts without the knowledge.

Really I don't know because I infact is stuck to the fact what is even the developers doing in cryoto world -_-

For this reason only, bitcoins and all other altcoins are still living their lives on internet. Now a days, people are so clever. They don’t get in traps because they know what and how everything works. So people know the hidden chances bitcoins and other altcoins have been hiding within themselves. They start finding them and for this reason, demand get increased, hence the prices too.

Trading works according to the law of supply and demand,  in other words,  a crypto currency price can be determined by its demand and its supply,  where there is a high demand there will be a price increase,  this always happens when the total coin supply of the crypto currency is not much.  Example,  bitcoin has only 21m that can be created and has over 16m in circulation,  this is what made the price shot as high as $19000 within a period of 9 years

Demand and supply are two basic factors that are responsible for the changing value of any asset of the world but if we talk about bitcoin particularly, there is one more factor that highly affects not only bitcoin price from time to time but the whole digital market. I am pointing towards the big investors who are also known as whales. Selling and buying on large scale highly changes the value of bitcoin.

Starting trading or investment requires money and knowledge. If you are new with trading then an easy guide will first enrich you with basic knowledge of crypto world and then Bitcoin because choosing Bitcoin is best for business in which you will find a huge product or outcome.

Try to be productive and for that start trading with coins which have great demand in the market. Set up an exchange account and place the price of your coins a little bit higher than the amount on which you bought the coins so automatically you will get product.

Utility and demand are same important factors that plays vital role that dictates the price of cryptos. The higher the demand, price will rise and the lesser, market will be stagnant and holders will sell at the lowest just to make sell. But let us not forget that the million investors have the power to manipulate the price as well.

Demand always plays the most important role here. Now people are interested in many alternative cryptocurrencies. I see they are ready to buy OmiseGo, NEO, Candano, EOS, Stellar.

That is the rule of the market no matter what kind of market it is. Keep in mind that everyone is going to go after that thing which is giving you maximum returns. Since bitcoin is having a strong history of making people rich with minor investments, so majority of the crypto currencies users are the ones who are supporters of bitcoin. The high demand of bitcoin obviously eventually leads to the high price.

Welcome you are at right place but it is good to learn  more first more learn now will earn more in the future because if simple things take days to accomplish but branded one take months and having alot value.There is also game of demand and supply which affect the market so simply buy in low when market is down and sell in high when market is high.

The price is always influenced exclusively by demand and supply. But that's what influences demand, this is exactly what nobody knows.

Crypto works on the principle of demand and supply, when there is scarcity of a coin,  it is normal that the demand will be higher than the supply which will lead to price increase. Also when there is availability of a coin in the market,  that means supply is high and demand is low,  this may lead to drop in price. When but demand and supply of coin is equal,  this is what causes r stability in the market.

The rate of mining, externally and electricity costs and maintainace all contribute to it

Nothing but scarcity and utility as I think. Because day by day the utility of it are increasing

Demand is when new people enter into the crypto market. They are willing to buy bitcoins and altcoins and thus putting in their fiat money into the crypto economy. Supply is constantly from the miners and is deflationary in nature. Thus the future prices are bound to increase as long as there is a steady demand of coins.

Again new people entering the market will be less experienced and thus it is the opportunity for the old traders to cash out some money while they buy.

I think this is a market of belief. And it be driven by people who have a lot of money. This is a piece of cake for them to make a profit. Do not put too much hope in this market. Learn and make money on it. Blockchain and Crypto are overblown

Trading is great if you understand the dynamics and it is mostly driven by demand and supply

All the points that you mentioned are the driving factors for valuation

If you are new to the market it is better to learn first about trading before investing market because the market is too much volatile now so it is better to learn before earn.

Speculation is the key word in cryptocurrencies, traders try to take advantage of their fluctuations for that.

There is no rocket science involved here in price valuation of bitcoin and other cryptos  just a pure basic economics law i.e supply and demand, and i am sure almost everyone is aware of this law that how it works.
The high demand can push the price towards the moon while higher supply can do the same in reverse direction.

I think the factor that makes the movement of an exchange rate is the number of requests and offers every time as demand is soaring,altcoins will also increase.

On the off chance that need to begin the new exchanging process. Initially take all the while and contribute the exchanging. This procedure data help to begin the exchanging. Exchanging isn't to simple. It to chance. On the off chance that know all procedure then simple to mange exchanging process. It associate the all nation individuals. So it help to nation individuals simple to trade any nation money and it whenever to trade. Be that as it may, before begin the exchange check the market cost. At that point you begin. Time is critical for this procedure. So time to finish and time to acct. It help to speak with all nation individuals. So you get more thoughts and more data simple to assemble.

Basically everything that you have mentioned here does affect the trading. All theses aspects can be studied from the projects detail, and results can be evaluated. Most of the time individual coins price or fluctuations will depend on the projects performance in the market. If they are in line with grater developments then it will call for more investors and if more investors are there then volume increases ultimately. However this is slow and long lasting process where you can not rely on the period but on the larger timelines itself. This is in general idea of it and when you enter the trading market then the real fun starts.

I think the most influential is the demand factor. Because as more and more people try to use crypto, the price will increase, it is proof that when things get harder there will be scarcity and when things are not desirable they will decrease. So make sure that we continue to use crypto and increase the number of transactions done, after that then we will get the result that is the increase in the price of a crypto.

But there are many factors involving in the demand of anything in crypto currencies bitcoin price has big impact on other cryptos too because most of the people predict their crypto prices based on bitcoin price movement.And for me the technology of the crypto may not have big impact on the prices for now because people see it as an asset not a currency but these condition may change in future.

very many factors that affect the price of bitcoin. and all the factors you mentioned are included in it. but the most influential is the scarcity and demand. the more rare the bitcoin the higher the number of requests. then the price will also increase.

There is simple rule buy in low and sell in high,But to know the worthy coin and the factor which affect the market must educate yourself and read alot about the market.Keep eye on the news of cryptoworld and invest in different coins not at one place.

I am an altcoin trader since a few months now. I hold more than 10 different altcoins in my account. 
There are certain factors which influence the price of any altcoins/cryptocurrency
The Major influencing factor is supply and demand of the coin, if the supply is low and the demand is high for the coin, the price of the coin raises and it will have its future to the moon.
Brand of the Blockchain Product can create the Demand and Market need for a coin. If the product is good and the supply is high, the price of the coin raises. The team should maintain its brand and demand for the coin.

This is one of the main reasons of why trading cryptocurrencies can be very risky pump and dump groups are forbidden in traditional investments and while the same could be said about cryptocurrencies there is no way to enforce that ban, so it is always important to look at the fundamentals of the coin to see if it is worth your investment.

Very well said, the developers need to make sure that the project is really usable and the supply is not that much so each time that the project progress the value will increase as well, the more progress the coin / project have the more increase will happen, each factors really affected the valuations of
certain system, what is important is the dev should always provide updates and make sure that holders and supporters will gained nit just for the value
of their investment but also with the usage of the project.

after the completion of several ico companies I still keep on my wallet several types of coins, which I hope in the long run will still have a good price, and not that today. But really, I can not know anything, and also to predict a good future too.

If you are new to trading I will recommend you to learn about trading first it not that easy how it looks it's very hard and it can give huge losses if someone starts without the knowledge.

Adding on your point... this is very right and not only in Crypto currencies but demand and supply determine the price of a particular x in most of the markets

if we are new in the world of tranding we must know the way in tranding clearly

Greed and FOMO is the power of crypto market) Everybody here is waiting high prices in future that can make them rich) most of crypto have very poor real usage and future monetization imho now just speculation.

Trading is not a bad idea and it depends on each individual anyway as long as they have the courage to learn and the persistence to want to do it right. No trader started in a day, everyone just had to look for ways to learn and that is it. As long as you have the knowledge, you are not greedy, then, you will always be able to take advantage of the market.

Most times for beginners, it is always good to start the long term way, as that is usually a very good way to start. Buy the dips when you start seeing signs of accumulation and sell into FOMO without getting greedy.

Yes, crypto world has a potential to grow our money through our great strategies. That's a good one, before involving in trading learned the things and join some groups who are legitimate in terms of information about the market system.

Well always learn the basic on how to use it , and then you can ask some pros to guide you more , and then again after that you will able to learn too the demand and supply of marketplace.

Just don't be lazy on learning , be motivated at anytime , trading will get you confused sometimes , but don't worry it's worth learning.

If you are the new in trading and not familiar about everything in this business.
The best thing you can do is to conduct your own research to know the basic information and gain knowledge about this trading business.

Information and knowledge are very important in getting started for trading. Without it then we will not be able to make the best decision. Trading requires a lot of data and it should be analyzed. I am sure when people can begin to learn and increase their knowledge then they are also ready to become successful people.

In the top ten list of coins all the game depends upon the demand, More the people want! Then price will also touch the peaks, it's all about usage. But the cheap altcoins are totally unpredictable. Their values change in minutes.

Most of the coin prices depend on simple rule of economics which is more the demand more the prices and vice-versa.Some times if the coin has utility matching to more investors then it automatically leads to demand boost which in turn pumps up the prices.So the main game revolves around demand and supply factor.

If you are a new in trading business, the best you can do is ask for  help and advice from the professional in this business to gain knowledge and to know 
what the first thing you will do in this business and also seek to reliable source of information that related to this.

I would say all. And include the market based FUD into the list as well. What drives the people to invest into coins in the price rise and the green wave when whales invest. Then when they dump the beggars buy it hoping that it will go up again.


The market metrics from coinmarketcap or any are not accurate and there are a lot of illicit trades going on off-the-record. Something like the black money concept. Then again these coins are finally going to be dumped in exchanges and then we might seen the missing volume come into circulation.

I believe that the basic value comes out of the trust built with the user base growth. However, the price keeps fluctuating because we don't yet have the mass maturity as of now this even some news from any corner of the world can affect the Bitcoin market. The realisation of benefits and security of cryptocurrencies is getting momentum since last year which is driving the demand and indirectly the price. On the other hand, market volatility always attracts speculators resulting in a boost to the existing volatility.

I, for myself, identified several factors:
1 initial cost of a coin for ICO
2 current bitcoin price
3 total number of coins on the market
4 the usefulness of the coin and, as a consequence, the demand for it

the factor that affects the price of the coin is if the demand for coins and the total supply of slightly automatic coins the price will be high, let alone the coin has a good network advantages

Seriously stop shitposting about topics you dont understand or topics where you can only blabber shit at. Its true that the price depends on market demand and supply but the for coins like bitcoin the total supply is limited. Currently as soon as the 21mil coins are mined they will be no further supply and then only the demand remains. In this situation price of bitcoin will go on rising as more and more people start to buy it.

Network advantages of almost all coins is the same if you talk about bitcoin litecoin and ethereum - any other coin trying to muscle in with the idea of "superfast transactions" is going to be a hoax.

All the system work depending on supply and demand but I think Cryptocurrency work depending on the project system. Any new or old token value depends on how will use it. If any token going to less user using then it can't get good value.

that's what new traders have to do, so for example we just entered the crypto trade we have to do is ask for advice and knowledge on our professional friends in trade, and we certainly have to do the research ourselves and have to learn to analyze the coins in the market well, and you can find out which coin you will buy and will give you many benefits.

asking for advice on those expert in trading is a great help for trading beginners, it really help a lot and also doing a research by your own was can give you the best idea about trading, just always remember don't put all your money in one coin.

I think that trading is the best way to earn money without taking a lot of efforts. I think that trading is worth it if you know the basic laws of trading like selling when the price is high and vice versa buy when it is cheap

Scarcity will be one of the problems that will dominate in the future after the end of wave of bitcoins, there is a huge chance that bitcoins price might grow even more and that is the reason why we should keep on holding our coins today.

That's wrong, the market grows and falls in an unpredictable manner. If the market falls once after you buy for a trading need surely you cannot get back the profit. You need to hold it, or need to look for some other plans. Trading is a way to earn, but not the way to earn without efforts.

If you are new to trading Then there should be ideas about different currencies. At the same time, you will have to keep an eye on the prices of the coins in the market. By doing this, you can learn good trade and gain profits.

It seems to me that it will be very difficult for a beginner to keep a large portfolio. Initially, you only need to focus on a few coins, which you can control and timely respond in a qualitative way to different situations.

There are many new traders and new comers in the market, some of them are not well aware of the market while some are well aware of the market of Bitcoin. If you are entering in order to get huge profit or just profit then you must be a person with the knowledge of Bitcoin’s market. On the other hand those investors or traders which are new if have not enough knowledge then they can safely exit and should educate their selves first.

Cryptocurrency markets all work on the principle of demand and supply. Prices of cryptocurrencies increase as the demand increase  and it drops down when the supply increases. It is this principle that leads to the rises and falls in crypto prices because as the demand for a coin increases, the price shoots up and as more holders go to sell, the supply increases and the price drops.

Almost all traders can recite that, but in reality, how many traders are well able to put them to work while trading! It helps to realize that getting to become an effective trader comes with time and lots of practice. All said, a trader should endeavor to have their ears on the ground to be abreast with latest developments in the markets and save themselves rumors that breeds FUD.

Read "Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets" for a good intro into TA, you'll need it for trading.

Asking for advice you will get brainwashed by shitcoin promoters on the internet. Nobody wants to give advice for nothing. Either they will try to draw you into investing in their shitcoin or try to scam you in some other fashion which you might be aware of. Then again there are people who are giving advice genuinely but they are rare.

Wrong. Any method to make money needs efforts and is never "easy"

Correct but knowing when the bull run or bear run is happening and catching the wave in the proper time is also essential.

Crypto's price-boosting factors are capitalization of the market, good and bad news about Crypto. These are the main factors that cause the price of the altcoins to change.
The Crypto market is not different from the stock market, so you can find out in books about the stock market. It will give you quite a lot of investment experience.

I think once you are new in trading you should make a own research in order to enhance and nurture yourself to make a decisions that will be favourable to your own side and your future.

First of all learn about cryptocurrencies, behind technologies and ideas behind them, because in the market fundamental analysis has very important place. Then try to learn technical analysis through indicators, Elliot's waves and etc. Personally I like trading methods of William D.Gann described on "45 Years In Wall Street". Also I like "Dimensional Stock Market Structures and Cycles" of Bradley F. Cowan.

Iam learn about crypto from youtube, already watching Cryptochanel name Alessio Rastani he really good to give some advice and some Book about trading or quete regarding about TA.

I think if you are new to the crypto market then I believe this is a very good time for you to start trading, you can see that the price of bitcoins in recent days has been rising steadily. So, I think that at this point you should only trade short-term by day so that you can minimize your risk and make the most of your profits. Always have a specific plan before going to bed.

For any type of investment you should do your own research. You would not want to put in your precious money into some project which is not following SEC guidelines would you? Trading though does not need that much in-depth analysis of a coin. If you believe that the coin has potential buy and hold it for then think of a point for stop/loss.

Mainly the fud news and the good news. Often the news are biased and paid and hence one-sided only. Take advantage of FUD whenever you can.

Much different. This shows that you have not done crypto trading in real life yet.

At first, new traders should concentrate on learning about trading, instead of trying to concentrate on gaining profits. They can find a lot of resources on Youtube, just watch these trading tutorials it would be very helpful for trading in future. Once, they gain sufficient experience then they can make good profits in trading.

With critical analysis, I believe that usage of a coin is very important and it links every other thing, from scarcity, to demand and supply. Lets look at this for instance, if the coin fulfils a very good niche and purpose, it simply means that the usage will be high which will have an effect on demand for it and that will course investors to see the coin as a source of investment. Hence, the popularity gives growing.

Trading means business-trade. And trade is also in the forum. Here we earn money by sharing the coins. And the trade that comes new, must have a good knowledge of trade.There should be a good idea about the market. A new business should come to trade with a good idea about these things.

All I can say if you are new to trading industry you must know the basic concept when to buy and sell in the market or public to be able profitable enough in this kind of business and to avoid losing of investments.

Of course, these gadgets, along with high-quality deals, have contributed significantly to Bitcoin's leading position to this day, and so will the future.

Most of the people talking here are referring to trading on exchanges. There are OTC (Over-The-Counter) trades that happen as well but these are often overlooked by the sites that scan market metrics. Still the OTC trades are having a definite proportion of the entire volume of trades and those who are doing that business are taking a lot as fees as well.

Its correct that its the king of crypto based on market cap and price but which gadgets are you talking about and how do they help bitcoin's leading position?

I am currently trading in the trading market, as the price of coins on the market began to improve in the past week, bitcoin prices now start day by day, I am very happy to trade in the trading market.

i think the demand and supply is main thing for a coin, then use,network,utility, because if no demand and supply how can that coin will grow, after that network can promo to help that coin with event or new project will release.
well it just my advice, hope can help.

All the factors you have said affect bitcoin price and be able to interpret them very well is what affect bitcoin price.  However the demand and supply is what affect the price the most because there have direct relationship with pricing.  If you can understand how demand and supply work using order books then you can become a successful trader.

If I don't mistaking, the main factor of any market (cryptomarket too) is demand. So you need to find really good coins or projects, what are in demand. I think, projects like ElonCity, will grow. By the way, ElonCity is very interesting project. It was created to make electricity cheaper and accesible and share renewable energy sources. Also, its main partner is Krypical Group. They had four partnerships and they are all succesful. Now, altcoins started to grow, and i think, that this will be too

I think that the cryptocurrency factor to be able to increase the price and can be very expensive is from demand, utility and usage, when the coin is more widely used and it is getting harder to get then the coin will be very expensive.

I can give you a piece of advice. The market situation is difficult to predict, everything could happen, therefore, the smartest way to invest in digital assets is to build a well-diversified portfolio based on your risk preference and investment goals. Such a portfolio would likely include a substantial holding in bitcoin and small exposure to promising tokens. I have found a trustworthy project. It is called Socratus.  It is an insurance ecosystem which provides a digital platform for insurance companies. So any insurance company can connect the platform to become the part of Insurance Digital Ecosystem.

Good day sir,
the coin's price base on its supply and demand.
What is this supply and demand,
The law of supply and demand is a theory that explains the interaction between the supply of a resource and the demand for that resource.

I believe that this time is very suitable for new entrants to enter the market as you can start trading, you can see that bitcoin prices are constantly recovering and at the present time high bitcoin prices will be able to return to the $ 8800 mark. So this is a very good time for you to start buying bitcoin and trading altcoin.

The supply demand ratio is obvious in pushing the market but we have other factors too. Like whales pumping the market full when it is remaining stagnant for a long time or a shitcoin being pumped up all of a sudden.

All such incidents should be tackled with caution and people should not get worried. Identifying a pump and dump takes time while identifying a pump of a whale is fairly easy - it rises within a few minutes like anything and then it may maintain or drop as fast as it went up.

All the above you posted drives the value of cryptocurrency. All of them are pointing towards creating demand for the coin and when demand is created and attention is also created, the value goes higher in my own opinion

in my opinion, the value of the crypto currency is dependent or influenced by several factors and one of them depends on the demand and supply of bitcoin so that when the demand is high the bitcoin price will also be high

The price of the crypto depending on the supply and demand, the same thing like others asset like gold or stock. And the demand will increase if that crypto give many benefits to the community. Others thing that make the demand increase is regulation and good rumor or news on the crypto market.

Hello newcomer! Most welcome. If your new in trading then need to know that it is so hard to make a profit if you are a crazy person or can’t control emotion. Experience is the main key here. Basic rules, risk management, and proper preparation can help you to be a good trader. Practice for control your emotion and know top to bottom about trading. This can help you for success.

right now I do not have a New Plan for Trade, my plan is still as old as ever, buy coins at a cheap price and we have to sell at a high price, I still choose bitcoin coin for trade.

I think the most influential on the rise in bitcoin prices is the increasing number of bitcoin enthusiasts.
the more demand, the market will grow.

The demand of people who invest in bitcoin is very important because the price of bitcoin will depends on the people who invest their money on it that is why the price can affect if other country ban bitcoin because the people on that country are not allowed to invest their money.

The demand is always there but we also need people who are willing not to sell at low prices just because they are going on a red market. People how bought at higher prices are looking to take the easy way out and sell even at loss because some bamboozled shill told them that bitcoin is going to be a ponzi or bitcoin miners are going to control the price.

Its easy to spread FUD like this and people even fall for them. Its better the educated lot in the market than such illiterate people who panic sell.

At this time, all the prices of cryptocurrency coins are very low. because of this result, many cryptocurrency holders are more profitable. Prices are always influenced exclusively by requests and offers. But that is what influences demand, this is what no one knows.

There is no trade barrier and the current trend of today's markets especially in the prices of altcoins and tokens today is that I'm just repeating the past that's happening in the past year.

Low prices are actually more like a reason for demand to kick in. I am sure I do not need to really start giving better instances than what is going on in the market currently. Like you mentioned, the market and most especially the altcoin market has been beaten badly and most of them presently has hit their historical bottom with a bounce and some already coming up with good volume.
It is a market, people and most especially traders and knowledgeable investors will be looking for the best opportunity to get in and out of the market at any point in time which is what makes it advantageous, but at the same time requires some pretty huge knowledge, otherwise it would be the other way round.

I think assessing the cryptoeccurency of its functionality, because the more useful the coin, the demand for coin will always appear, no matter how much the amount and distribution as long as the coin is still useful, it will definitely increase its demand which will make it easier to grow.
for the network to make it easier to use and make it more comfortable

if anyone will argue we must tell what the trading market really is and also must be guided so that everyone is interested in working in the trade market.

Higher timeframes are in general better indicators of where the market is going. It depends what your strategy is. If you go for many small scalps then you can use the shorter time frames, but if you are going for a bigger swing then use 1h, 4h and daily..

demand can also determine the value of cryptocurrency, it can be seen from the number of requests that can make prices soar high can also make a decline

I would say it all depends on the project situation and how much development you made, its definitely gonna help them in the market.

Without a doubt, crypto earth incorporates a likely to build your dollars as a result of your good tactics. Would you beneficial just one, previous to affecting with dealing mastered what in addition to subscribe to many communities who definitely are respectable with regard to info on this market process.

Just like in the normal world, what drives a price either up or down is demand of a commodity. The project team deternines how valuable their coin is worth. The create value and demand for their coins. The developers are the ones that would do this by announcing partnerships, mainnet news , etc

You can see that these days the market is showing signs of a strong recovery of altcoin, so I think this moment is great for you to trade altcoin,. The market is fluctuating continuously, although altcoin prices increase but market capitalization does not increase so I think that at this point you should only deal day and should not invest long term.

Demand and supply are what determine the market metrics. As long as there is a demand on the market for a certain crypto the deflation will continue and its price will continue increasing. On the other hand money like USD and other fiat are being minted everyday without any capping and thus price of USD drops against bitcoin.

While the inherent demand fro crypto comes from the limited supply, there are a lot of things happening outside the market where people buy/sell using crypto and they dont really get analysed by coinmarketcap and others.
