Hi guys I am a newbie and tell me please that why the price of bitcoin goes to decrease? please tell me the main reason because I like this coin and when it's price goes to decrease I am very worried.
Bitcoin's value has been fluctuating both sides, and have different reasons why is it so:
Firstly, "quoting" a reply of mine on this thread: Why is bitcoin price so high?
Bitcoin price has stratospherically risen leaving minor players with massive gains and bigger players millionaires. Is this a bubble? Are the gains real?
Can't be called a bubble but an unexpected spike that was never seen or thought of before.
Reasons why it went up so high:
- Bitcoin gained traction after it surpassed its previous ATH during the beginning of 2017.
- Seeing the spikes, everyone joined the train and went with the flow.
- Afterwards, according to the plans, a "season of forks" came into action. BCH was announced and to get more of what they were expecting from their free money, they started pumping in more cash in Bitcoins.
- Value spiked to more than 20 times in a year itself because of total number of users getting added daily broke records everyday.
Now, telling you the reasons why it's decreasing:
- Bitcoin's adoption has spiked to an all new level that was never thought of, and there increased the number of such users too who "sell in panic".
- It's holiday season as well as New Year coming, it was obvious that the value was about to shrink.
- The "season of forks" has now stopped.
- Transaction costs increased and speed decreased.
- Finally, value rose 20 times, but if you see it as a drop from that level, it's not even down 50%.
