Why is Bitcoin Price So Fluctuating?

[Jonsnowstark]

In my own opinion the price of bitcoin fluctuating still falls within the law of supply and demand. When you see a bad news about bitcoin, people who owns it starts to sell and many others. Once the supply increases and the demand for bitcoin decreases hence, the price goes down and vice versa. We can't do anything about that. That's how it usually works.

Bitcoin does not have intrinsic value. It is hard to measure its true value other than the cost of mining equipment and electricity to mine new coins. However, bitcoin has limited supply (max supply of 21 million coins). It is rare. More and more people know about bitcoin now. So it is a balance issue of supply and demand.  Also bitcoin is new and there are lots of uncertainty such as government policy, technical debate, competition from alt coins.

Bitcoin price fluctuating because there is no consistency of the traders or investors in the world of crypto currencies which makes them also to have profit. Bitcoin is just like the subject on the economics that also applying the law of supply and demand in the society. Also, it fluctuates due to the rumors around the social media that might be down instead of going up its value.

The fluctuation in rate of bit coin are dependent on the rate of the number if investors who invest in bit coin which is some time increases while some decrease some investors hold their capital while some investor sell it out so I think it is the beauty of bit coin and other crypto currencies.

Traders always do trading according to their own strategies and planning. but i think the fluctuation in the price of bitcoin is depending on supply and demand. in fact the demand of bitcoin is continuously increasing and therefore we are expecting the price of bitcoin will also continue increasing. Some time the investor become a little bet defensive which causes to lower the dump in the price of bitcoin but we always examined that such decrease is not for a long time but temporary and very soon we see a significant recovery in the price of bitcoin.

The regular growth and fall of bitcoin is a natural process, conditioned by the very nature of the origin of bitcoin. The main reason for its decentralization, no one controls it, and accordingly the price increases and decreases, depending on the volume of purchases and sales.

[Daveeoff]

There are a lot of people that are not pro traders and basically what they do is sell and buy the news.

[StreakW]

because decentralized, no one control bitcoin, the price up or down depending the users
many users want to buy, bitcoin will up, many users want to sell, bitcoin will down

[arseaboy]

There are a lot of people that are not pro traders and basically what they do is sell and buy the news.

Which will lead them losing their investment buying fake news will just another way of losing your money though fluctuation occurred when certain events influences the market, as for me the base still remained that there's still few people who understand bitcoin and because of that when someone being encourage they will start investing and those who already knew about it will sell since they already got good earnings.

Bitcoin price is fluctuating if you look closely. If you don't look so close you will realize that these are just temporary little blips because of FUD that is being thrown at Bitcoin, like always.

If you are an active trader in the world of digital currency and indeed take advantage of extreme price movements Bitcoin to seek profit, Bitcoin prices are fluctuating, of course, brings its own happiness. But it's different if you use Bitcoin as cash or fiat money. If you redeem your one million Bitcoin and intend to spend it on an online site, you certainly do not want your Bitcoin value to decrease as Bitcoin prices suddenly drop. Bitcoin you have now cannot pay for the Hard Disk 1 Terra you want and eventually, you have to buy extra Bitcoin to cover up the shortcomings.

Fluctuating Bitcoin prices have become a daily complaint of Bitcoiners around the world. Actually what factors affect the rise and fall of Bitcoin prices?

Huge Fluctuation of Bitcoin price will remain until it reached its limit supply IMO..

[Adioliver]

Bitcoin price depends on demand and selling system,as there is only a limited amount of bitcoins in the world.The price hikes when the bitcoin holders hold their bitcoins and invest it for long term.And if many people sell out their bitcoins in panic,in events like the banning of ICOs in China then the price will drop.The fluctuation in the value is a part of bitcoin as it will continue in the future as well.Instead of worrying about the fluctuation of bitcoins try using the fluctuation to your advantage.

Sometimes because of some fake news, we will see huge variations in bitcoin price. The present price fluctuation reason is Bitcoin gold. To get free BTG many people bought bitcoins so it will impact on bitcoin demand in the market, so the price went like a skyrocket.

There are many factors or events that make the bitcoin price fluctuates. It is also highly volatile and anytime the price will change swiftly.

[Lasvista]

The answer is simple. Demand and Indemand. With these two demand increases the price of Bitcoins as many people buy it. We have seen the rise of the demand for bitcoins in the past hardfork and because of these rumors and opinions that the price of bitcoins increases many people are buying bitcoins. What they do not know is that they are rising because of their purchase. Like this Bitcoin Gold hardfork. Many people do not have the chance to have Bitcoins Cash because of the rumor that people will sell their hold bitcoins first because it's possible to lose during forking that's really wrong information because the right thing to do is hold bitcoins so receive Free BCC. Now that people are doing because they already know that holding Bitcoins they will receive free BTG.

The supply and demand relationship is the basic reason behind fluctuation of the prices of bit coin when supply is more than the demand then the prices drops down while whenever the supply is lesser than the demand then the prices goes up and up.

[Appyaak]

I think this is because the price of the token depends strongly on the number of miners: more miners - more transaction costs. In addition, it depends on the news. So, when the Bitcoin Gold news appeared, everyone wanted to transfer their coins to Bitcoin, which lowered the cost of altcoins.

[muraqaba]

once bitcoin reaches $1m in value this wont even be an issue.
