Why is Bitcoin falling?

[dayem708]

Bitcoin has fallen by more than 56 percent since the turn of the year, after peaking at nearly $20,000 in December 2017.

CoinMarketCap price charts show that bitcoin has been falling for weeks, though this latest crash has been blamed on mounting confusion surrounding the Indian Government’s stance on cryptocurrencies.

Maybe bitcoin is falling due to the constant selling of the owners of Bitcoin. They might be too scared to hold it because the prices are steadily going down so when they still got the chance to sell it, they are still selling it at a declining price. We can still say that Bitcoin's price is still high because it is still not buyable at one payment and we can pay for it part by part and in this process, we can gain profit thru this buy and sell process which is a bit risky and it may have disadvantages. Bitcoin may also fall for the reason that it is looking for room to grow. They might want to develop Bitcoin into a more usable platform and not just a basis of other Cryptocurrency and after this process they might gain the value they have achieved before 2017 ended.

[michellex]

When any negative news about bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency, comes out, people bail. It's just like stocks. The latest, imo, is China blocking access to the markets with its huge Great Firewall of China.

[gantez]

I think apart from the correction , we are now witnessing panic selling because of some negative news lately, these are responsible for the downward movement. This won't last any longer because the market has been oversold.

Well. you made a good point. Actually, it depends on the investor. if investor continues investing instead of selling then BTC price may go up. another reason is India banned btc in their country. may be the effectiveness of this reason.

[Cashew]

It is falling because some people have been spreading news they perfectly knew were false in a purpose to make price go down to buy back and make money. It is how it all works.

[lutferal]

it loses its popularity. it can continue to fall if this trend be like that

We also needs to analyze why it happens, but one thing is just in my mind, we should be noted that the price of bitcoin varied dependently with all of us, so if we are all afraid what could be the possible thing to happen then what do you think will happen to bitcoin? or what do you think will happen in our life without bitcoin?

[buytheeffinD]

There isn't one magical reason why it is going down but I would argue the India ban coupled with all recent news is leading to this bleeding. Don't know how far we will go but it appears 5k range is well within the bounds now, it would suck to go there but we gotta bounce somewhere .

[cynical]

Panic and FUD among other reasons.
I think there are a lot of people who are taking a lot of the news articles as gospel.
We have had 2 events which have been reported as catastrophic (my term)
1st: the South Korea Ban
2nd: the India ban
Both have been reported incorrectly, and these coupled with the "bubble"   rumor back in December has set the fear of god into many people.
 

[sylance]

Subscribe to any crypto news channel and all you're going to read is FUD right now.  What started as probably a healthy consolidation is now full on panic selling.  The market has its own momentum now and we'll likely see $6000 Bitcoin by the end of the week.  That sucks... but remember it was only 90-ish days ago when we were celebrating breaking through $6000, so keep things into perspective.  If you have available fiat now is a good time to purchase.

[eyesopen]

also something to consider is SPECULATION!
im sure there are those who have sold high to buy later when the price has hit its bottom.
If you had sold your holdings soon after things started to slide at around $15000 and buy now,
you could have doubled your initial amount!

[axicron]

Yeah, it is not even matter of "technology" or "news", just people panicing. There is also possibility that some billionaires who don't want to see Bitcoin on world's financial arena are constantly lowering its price simply by selling huge (for us mortals) amounts. So best you can do is just hodl.

[cha145]

Don't forget the fact that there are tons of newbies who came into crypto recently, that are now getting panic and therefore rekt right now. Been doin crypto since 2015 and almost every single one of my friends who joined around november/december 2017 is about to sell everything they own in crypto right now. HODL and don't check coinmarketcap every 5 minutes

Fully agree. Newbies who took loans or sold house to buy on hype now get panic + Jan/ Feb is the start of the taxation period in many countries. The market cap is tiny. Just hodl friends!

[just_strange32]

The price dropped on this market for you 2 thoughts
1. The government is actively collecting coin secrets to continue playing the game against the people and helping the government to control the coin value in government hands.
2. The government will end the virtual year-like virtual dot-com adventure
I still look forward to more possibilities

[emuLOAD]

Just engage your thinking hat.

Check the year-on-year chart, then think hard at why the price reached 20.000$ high. that is a good part of the story behind the current drop.

Fud is the main reason why bitcoin is crashing down..
believing on the fud makes some holders do panic selling the reason why its dumping fast...
but in my own oppinion bitcoin is still at high price since i started where in the average amount was just ranging to 600 to 700$.weak hands is also the main reason why the price was dumping...

[Kambal2000]

Bitcoin is not falling but the price of it is just falling due to a lot of individuals/investors are all afraid in the price right now due to the left and right negative news, that means they don't fully understand the concept what bitcoin is and that they are just after the money when the price is high but when the price is low, they don't support bitcoin.

[urBTCisMine]

I dont know why everyone get paniced? Look 3 months back. We were on the same price like BTC have now. 3 months!!!!
In this 3 months, many people had huge wins.
Then there are much negative news. Panic seller.
Look. These guys, who got huge wins, will come all back. We are now in a bearish time. Just wait! Maybe in 3 months we will stay at 30k$? Who knows? Its very volatile. In my opinion the market will be bullish at march.

[mindfly09]

The reason why bitcoin is falling, because people are scared to buy and invest in bitcoin, when they heard about a negative news about it, so it happen they selling their btc. I don't think that even other countries ban bitcoin is the cause of falling. But don't believe in the news, instead give trust and spread the good news so that people will convince today to invest and to buy. So that people don't doubt anymore to invest.

[carrymem79]

It can be the bad news from different countries that give great impact when they announce to ban all ICO'S and all cryptocurrencies exchange platforms.Many withdraw their coins and didn't bother to invest again.So,the demand and supply of it was strongly affected that caused bitcoin's price fell down.

[cl37007]

Lots of FUD, the media reporting China and India are to ban crypto when this is not true but the damage is done. Plenty of other bad news like that really affects the price

[ebliever]

The short answer is that it is falling because it is falling, and that really is the dominant reason. Just like it tends to rise because it has been rising, and over the short run that's usually the dominant answer.

Yes, you can cherry-pick negative news (mostly overblown). But that's just an excuse, because we see the same sorts of negative news while the price is rising and it hardly has any impact.

Zoom out and look at the big picture. Bitcoin skyrockets, than plummets, then the cycle repeats. The duration of each cycle and the amplitude of the high and low are variable, but the boom-and-bust pattern is very evident. I expect it will remain so until it reaches maturity thanks to increasing usage (not speculation) and wider adoption.

Wall Street has noticed the pattern, and isn't being stupid about it. I doubt many people have pulled out of crypto permanently, but a lot have sold with hopes of buying in lower and are now waiting to sense a bottom. There will be monster profits (dwarfing even the last cycle) to be made when the bottom is reached, assuming the boom and bust pattern continues.

[ingo49]

Because you cannot expect something to rise 50% month after month for a lifetime.
The quicker any 'bubble' rises, so it crashes. Give it some time and it will be straight back up there.

Much of the demand was being feed by USDT printing up fake money and buying Bitcoins to pump the coin up to
fantastic new heights so the bubble has not popped, it's just the pump that is broken and that many people left
in protest about the fees being so high

[wiser]

Fully agree. Newbies who took loans or sold house to buy on hype now get panic + Jan/ Feb is the start of the taxation period in many countries. The market cap is tiny. Just hodl friends!

You raise good points. When people do stupid things like mortgage their properties to speculate you know you're in a bubble that will correct. And by bubble I don't mean that cryptocurrency itself is a bubble, just that there was a part of the recent price hike that was a bubble, and it's popped.

The other point is relevant. People who made lots of profits in cryptocurrencies will need to pay taxes and will probably need to sell holdings in order to do so. That may hold the price back all the way through April. I hope to be wrong about this one.

I think it is usual big correction. We had the same several times in 2017 year. Probably it is almost the bottom - I think 6k$ is minimum price that could be..

[Sasuke102001]

Many people are panic selling their coins which is causing even more drop in bitcoin prices. Also recently India declaring bitcoin to be not considered as a legal tender and measures will be taken to stop the use of cryptocurrencies is causing many Indian Bitcoin holders to sell their coins which is increasing the supply.

[moinul018]

Honestly, I have never seen anything such. People are panicked and continuous FUD going on. My experience says the Market cap would not go under 250B.

[Tavarez]

probably because of China's implementation of firewall on all their websites. That firewall is supposed to ban all crypto activities. If USA does the same we will see the btc around 3k. situation is getting worse with people panicking and all of the sudden small demand for BTC. recovery period will be long.....maybe lasting years.

[kuntet99]

this may be the beginning of the rise of bitcoin, yes we just wait this week may be bitcoin immediately up the price.

[GeorgeFeb]

Bubble?

Nah, seems more like a shmubble! 😀

[Washball]

Bitcoin is having hard times negative news, spread to create FUD, in order to have a price drop. All this news about China, Korea and India banning cryptocurrencies is not interpretated in the right way, these governments want to have regulations on exchanges. This misreading creates FUD and people start selling, which results in a decline.

[Agobot]

When is everyone becoming a millionaire? How long in time?

[ejzok]

It's been like this since 2015 (maybe even before). If you look back the price always drop dramatically during mid-January.

There are lots of reasons behind this price crash first thing is that the rumors of India ban but India didn't do anything just a statement from their finance minister did more things,and the south Korea and China regulations so the people from that country can't contribute well since that regulations and the main reason for the falling is people selling they are continue to sell their bitcoin holdings that why it is falling too hard.Now the price of bitcoin is under $7K in preev.com.

[jlanzago]

I think Bitcoin has a lot of challenges, but the current sell off is unjustified in my opinion. This is the nature of crypto markets: extreme volatility. So if you are affraid, maybe you shouldn't invest in crypto (or keep it as a small portion of your overall portfolio).

[R3r4z0]

It's been like this since 2015 (maybe even before). If you look back the price always drop dramatically during mid-January.

This time is different banks are banning crypto transactions in exchanges, the stream media is fuding a new story everyday. We will recover for sure but this time IS different.

[bitman33]

The market is continuing to correct itself after the speculation driven bull run over the last 2 months. It will settle around 6k mark before slowly rising again.

[progenic]

I think the price of bitcoin was not the real price. The price was increased consciously by some speculators. Now they will buy bitcoin at low price and raise the price again. This is the easiest and quickest way to earn money with money. I did not buy or mine bitcoins. Because it was a churning (economic term) to me.

[mahibul49]

every year in mid january bitcoin price fall and its a trap.do not sel your bitcoin.just hold.
reward will be good.

Exactly, but I'm still regretting not buying the shit in 2014, would have been a millionaire already or at least would have several hundred thousands of dollars which is pretty much all I need to be really free! But I didn't unfortunately!

Let's search for another big thingy!

[Prince Malik]

I don't no why exactly why,maybe because  some contries ban bitcoin,or maybe because of the correction(btc back to her real valeur)

[Zyborg]

Different news are in circulation regarding regularizing BTC under govt. net.India and China both are striving to regulate BTC to avoid use against criminal activities,some bank like Lloyds Bank stopping its customers not to purchase any cryptocurrency using credit card,In this way many people are selling BTC due to which its price is falling down.As far as i am concerned many people are still waiting to get its price down and there will be huge purchasing which will induce to shift BTC price to higher side.Right now its good time to purchase BTC.

[Kozlov]

Multiple reasons, ponzis, mum and dad investors pulling out, poor quality advice and FUD.

I think the fact so many Altcoins are linked to BTC mean that Altcoin bloodbaths result in BTC casualties - people withdraw their coins and sack off crypto..

[supandi wiharja]

I think at the beginning of 2018 it's not just bitcoins that have significant price reductions, but i see almost all crypto is experiencing the same thing.
But i'm sure this is just a momentary phenomenon or it can be said bubble, which can break at any time.
The sharp decline in bitcoin prices caused panic for me and many people so many users who immediately sell it.
But i would rather hold the existing bitcoin, because i believe in the near future the bitcoin value will skyrocket again.

As for me I didn't see any fundamental reasons for it, exept that some "market makers" wanna buy it on a better price))
also this new about tether and facebook not serious to my mind.

probably because of the many new coins that have sprung up so btc is pressed by their presence. such as the current market price of mobile phones where the brand of mobile phones that used to be excellent high prices are now falling below the average in because new and cheaper sophisticated new phones appear in the market

[Akash1243]

As the price of bitcoins dropped after the correction people panicked and started selling their bitcoins and cashing out.Well investors will now buy bitcoins in much cheaper rates and prices will rise again.I would hold and see what happens rest of the year.Now is the best time to buy bitcoins.

[dayem708]

Honestly, I have never seen anything such. People are panicked and continuous FUD going on. My experience says the Market cap would not go under 250B.

Exactly that's it. you made a good point. i also wanna say that market wouldn't go under 250B-280B.

Hehe man, you are so funny, but that's true.i m also regretting not buying BTC in 2015 !!

[SparrowMano]

too much concern about governments, several exit scam, the tether scandal ... as an investor must admit that it's scary

[Ligareaux]

some of is just fud, but mostly is a mega correction, think about the price, 12 months ago

[SportbetMaster]

don't worry, it has become a routine in this period of the year, it is everyone who sells in the sole objective of buying later at a lower price, but nobody knows where will stop the present dump.

[Andrewsito]

I think the word "failing" sounds a little harsh to me. especially considering the highs and lows of any market, plus the "novelty" and uncertainty that some people feel about the BTC market, that can help explain a little bit why the current lows of the market.

[CyberKuro]

Bitcoin corrected after reach the peak, back to the current (normal) price imo, simply because bitcoin nodes still not ready for the higher price.
The snowball effect, correction > fud news about ban cryptocurrency trading/exchanges > bitcoin futures contract expired = newbies panic sell and traders cash out.
We can't have 960 sats/byte fees for a transaction. 150 satoshis/byte is better, even you can pay a lower fee but it will be confirmed within 20 minutes.

[cryptodairy]

It's explained here

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@pozzecco/6700usd-might-be-dip-of-the-bitcoin-i-don-t-say-it-the-moving-averages-says-so-check-it-out-bitcoin-technical-analysis

[Damian Banks]

Because of futures contracts. The big whigs are making regular people who invested at around $18,000 to sell at a loss due to worry. Then, the more knowledgeable investors will scoop these shares for cheap and let the price rise to higher depths.

[Isaak Brenner]

Bitcoin is falling because its no longer the flavor of the month. Bitcoin is hard to buy, transaction is difficult, it is expensive and the security is terrible.

With the rise of other crypto like ripple, ther, litecoin, which the transaction period is faster, safer and easier. This is driving the young millennials to trade various coins hoping for the ‘Moonshot’. Bitcoin is not going to see any more moonshot where the price would jump exponentially after a short period of time.

[James Newman]

Its for sure nothing to be worried about, if you are bothered its dropping then you’re not supposed to be investing in bitcoins to start with.

[turbo165]

The decline was due to investors monitoring the warnings from some regulators and increasing crackdowns on virtual currency markets in China and South Korea are reportedly drafting rules to ban virtual currency trading last week. This makes bitcoin prices and a number of other virtual currencies plummeted dramatically.

[TuttleWinni]

I think that the bitcoin fell is normal, but there are also many because there is bad news for the bitcoin, leading to fears that the currency could be banned, so selling the bitcoin to fall

[mr.bitcoin2k17]

Because threre are a lot of negative news about BTC and altcoins

[Thyristor]

There are more reasons for BTC huge falling down.I never understood this sentiment.Since BTC is not tied to any real world value,how can it be over or undervalued? In November to December BTC value is really pretty good.This moment who people bought BTC with very high rate now they have huge losers.Because still BTC unable to recover 20,000$.I am confused when it again touched 20K$

[Bitcooner]

I think it's temporary fall, it's just correction. I am sure Bitcoin can't duy at all, It's already important currency on the market, we need Bitcoin in future

[sampath19]

it's the nature of every coin in the world. BTC also a Coin. but it's a digital coin. so Coin values depend on market selling and buying(Demand)
BTC last year end month goes very high Demand and same people can't reach or invest that much money to buy BTC. so in that caz BTC demand goes down. whatever i thing BTC again goes high value. but need same time to reach the movement.   

[teejaymuna]

Btcoin is falling because demand is short compared to supply. This is due to some political uncertainties; china, south korea and india. Their decisions have caused a lot of confusion in the cryptocurrency ecosystem at large and btc being the leaders of the crypto world have suffered greatly. However, there will be a price pick up in no time.

[john_nautica]

bitcoin has decreased very drastically with the issue circulating from south korea bans bitcoin to the issue in India that prohibits bitcoin this makes the price of bitcoin decreased. but we should be able to take advantage of this situation to buy bitcoin at a low price this happens because now we can benefit.

[nazaididuan1]

A lot of people see, BTC this fall is very fierce! A lot of people are losing money!

The impact was mainly caused by the policies of the Indian government, the south Korean government and the Chinese government.

The influence of BTC on BTC is huge!

[marcus4u]

Now there is no point in using bitcoin if there are many useful and profitable systems with their own tokens. The future behind such innovations I believe. Today I learned about SAFINUS, I think that I will invest. Has anyone heard of it? https://www.safinus.com/

[ciciteng]

There are several FUD spreading around from 'scary' government and old school bussiness man (you know who they are, right?) regarding this blockchain technology. Therefore, weak hands shutter and sell, even at their lost.
The good news is, some of them already trying to investigates the good possibilities regarding this new technology. So, wait and see. HODL will benefits from their trust and patient, of course.

[samuel0909]

Maybe bitcoin is falling due to the constant selling of the owners of Bitcoin. They might be too scared to hold it because the prices are steadily going down so when they still got the chance to sell it, they are still selling it at a declining price.

[snazir]

When a person is advancing fast, people come forward to progress ahead of his shaking progress, but it is also a matter of great benefit or father who is scared of man then comes back behind.
If there are all the departments with Bitcoin, if they were registered in all countries, there would be official permission, then all of them would have been very confident. And due to which the reason for the fall gradually falls.

CoinMarketCap price charts show that bitcoin has been falling for weeks, though this latest crash has been blamed on mounting confusion surrounding the Indian Government’s stance on cryptocurrencies.

There are many reasons for the decline in bitcoin prices, including the Indian government's ban on bitcoin trading. But the two main factors that led to the decrease in bitcoin prices were that the Korean government had ordered banks to verify the information of bitcoin investors who were traded in the bitcoin market. And now facebook has blocked ads related to virtual currency and ICO. These two factors led to a dramatic drop in bitcoin prices in early 2018.

This plus tether fud, plus a correction

[dayem708]

      The price movement is always depends on the law of demand and supply. There is a lot of reasons to consider why bitcoin price is falling. Another thing that helps bitcoin drop is the continue panic selling of other bitcoiners that's why there is an increase of supply in the market. And ofcourse when the supply increase,the demand and the price decrease.

You made a good point. actually, it is all about fud, false news, and panic selling. and there is a lot of reason why bitcoin is falling. The main thing right now it is again increasing.

[Amilhussin24]

Since china and korea did banned bitcoin in their country. Bitcoin price is being affected, and it goes down after the banned of these two country, plus of the global regulation in bitcoin. It also affect bitcoin. It is because of the community of bitcoin is decreased.

[_yoshi]

Last year bitcoin starts by a price of under 1000$. To end of 2017 it raises to twenty thousand dollars. It make a 20x in a year. Thats very much, and everybody who is in to stock markets and financial world knows that after such a high rise comes always a correction. So people thin bitcoin lost value, but its still 8-9times valuable then before one year. So the people who buyed on the alltime high, they have a lose, but if they hold the coin long enough they will have a profit too.

[GeorgiyBilyk]

I agree with the guys! A lot of negative news is launched by very rich people, it's special to cut us like hamsters! no need to panic, soon everything will be normal, after the Chinese New Year is over! They are now resting, for them it is a sacred holiday! March will show us a very fast and high takeoff!

[anahawjeff21]

Maybe because of media, they always say that bitcoin is very harmful to invest, always stating the negative side of bitcoin, which is not for me, using bitcoin is very convenient for me, i use it to pay bills and earning some money.

It happens to fall the bitcoin part of their reason is about the demand and supply. What are we going to do is to hold our money and soon it will hapoen to increase . And another reason is some people are not belive and the bitcon.

[zabjerr]

that's exactly how many bitcoin users use that, but when the user is slowly down, it's really a bit of a bitcoin in the country that's really going down,

[Xerox101]

We can't control the price market, There is a time that it goes up and also there is a time that the price will fall depends on the situation in our business economy. If the prices falls down, we must accept it since when we start the business, we already anticipate the high risk of our investment.

Bitcoin has fallen by more than 56 percent since the turn of the year, after peaking at nearly $20,000 in December 2017.

CoinMarketCap price charts show that bitcoin has been falling for weeks, though this latest crash has been blamed on mounting confusion surrounding the Indian Government’s stance on cryptocurrencies.

This is happening because of two reasons mainly:

1) People showing more interest in alt  coins. They are selling bitcoins and investing in these.

2) Some of the countries have banned bitcoins which affects the prices negatively.

bitcoin does fall. This namin I think is reasonable and for the Indian problem is a little affect the rising prices. and for that we must mempu positive thinking and not panic. because it has been terbuktu in two days this bitcoin able to raise the price slowly and stable. it shows that bitcoin will remain the best sigital asset

To be honest, I never find or see bitcoin as falling. What is it for me is just a phase of a minimum decrease yet a later recovery would be encountered.  Simply, it is usual. Bitcoin had run through the years with same scenario. This only consistency, which sounds now as a paradox, isn't a bad thing since again, it almost made bitcoin go for a long run.

[RockHenki]

I think that Maybe because of the media, always say that bitcoin is very harmful when invested in, always talk about the negative side of bitcoin. And another reason is some people do not believe and bitcon, we are not So panic, and soon everything will be normal. I use it to pay bills and earn some money, because I believe that bitcoin will give me a lot of profit in the future.

I agree, Bitcoin is not really actually falling. Maybe the price of bitcoin is just getting down but we cant say that bitcoin is falling down. Decreasing of bitcoin's price is normal due to its volatility. This happens every year if not mistaken, bitcoin really goes down and goes up in time and we cannot stop it. If you can just notice, after this big down of bitcoin's price last January. Bitcoin is starting to recover little by little because it is starting to rise again.

[RawDog]

Bad news from China, Tailand and other countries and FUD

FUD and truth.  Regulators are coming.  The party is nearly over.  No chance to make big money now.

[Saiful Islam777]

Bitcoin is the tide of modernity, in which there is availability. The people of the world are now very aware of the fact that there are many advances in the project direction. Bitcoin is giving the opportunity of that training. So, people are easily falling prey.

[LogitechMouse]

The price of bitcoin keeps on falling because of the FUD's spreading on the internet. That is the main reason. People will spreads fucking FUD's and because people are emotional and some people doesn't have enough knowledge they just invested, they will do panic sell and that is the start of the falling of the price of bitcoin. We can't do anything about it and as a bitcoin investor, you must know that bitcoin is volatile and anytime it will rise up.

[Bitcoinnumberone]

When any negative news about bitcoin, or any other cryptocurrency, comes out, people bail. It's just like stocks. The latest, imo, is China blocking access to the markets with its huge Great Firewall of China.

Bitcoin is not necessarily falling. It is just that bitcoin is in its downtrend this time. But this doesn't necessarily meam that it is the end of bitcoin. We just have to be patient until bitcoin take its way again towards the top.

Panic induced selling. A lot of hopeful investors invested last year when they knew bitcoin's value is rising. So they bought bitcoins without thinking of the risks. Now, they're panic selling since the price of bitcoins declined hard and everybody's quitting the hype.

[GavenJack]

bitcoin fell as any of the financial instruments. he could not grow forever, and those who bought for 20 just fools. you have to buy cheap

[Mazda17]

It is falling because some people have been spreading news they perfectly knew were false in a purpose to make price go down to buy back and make money. It is how it all works.

If running a life without a purpose and not accompanied by courage and confidence that people are easily bullied or cheated by the nosy people to get bitcoin cheaply and will be sold at a price that is expensive, so to produce itself is difficult because people are easily deceived. Maybe that's how they feel bitcoin is falling.

[Naitik]

Bitcoin is a marketing asset. the market will decide whether it will be good at particular time or  or it loses its position in the market.
Although there are many alternative coins in the market, also bitcoin may be the king of the crypto world but other coins shows great features. that's why it may be falling.

[batang_bitcoin]

Bitcoin today reached the bottom of $9,946 again and take note that it's not only bitcoin but the whole crypto market. Take a look at coinmarketcap.com you can see that all alts including bitcoin is bleeding but there is only one coin that isn't bleeding on the top 100 and it's Nano. The only reason why its falling, its another correction and many have sold.

[Zachwolf]

I dont know why everyone get paniced? Look 3 months back. We were on the same price like BTC have now. 3 months!!!!
In this 3 months, many people had huge wins.
Then there are much negative news. Panic seller.
Look. These guys, who got huge wins, will come all back. We are now in a bearish time. Just wait! Maybe in 3 months we will stay at 30k$? Who knows? Its very volatile. In my opinion the market will be bullish at march.

It is normal to fall/drop because there are many competencies who wants to beat in low prices especially in trading and marketing.

[jeaniferomambac]

bitcoin fell as any of the financial instruments. he could not grow forever, and those who bought for 20 just fools. you have to buy cheap

I think bitcoin will fallen because of theres many supply so that the price will fallen but we know the bitcoin is moving the price some times rise or falling down the price but i think its normal if the bitcoin will fallen because bitcoin is a currency and that time the investors will buying if the price is falling because all investors know the future of bitcoin in a coming years bitcoin will expensive so that investors hold it in a longterm way.

Yeah Market is changing the price.  So market price will change share market price also check. So market price is any time to change. If coin is increases in the market place it will be go down. Price will be changing it right time to buy coin. You buy coin if price will be low and hold it. Coming future coin price increase next week.

Yeah bitcoin price will only be affected by the law of supply and demand if the supply is high the price will go down when the supply is low the price will pump. The reason why bitcoin holder dump because people just was tempted by a sporadic spike last December the down force last for three months before it bounces back because hunger investors is taking advantage of the lower price  .

[andreevaviktoriy77]

Bitcoin falls but does not drop to the minimum amount it will be. Korea and China banned bitcoin half of this went downturn. But also it is not regulated and skips.

[Liternyy]

the situation on the Korean market changed to the opposite. We are used to seeing that the price is slightly higher than on other exchanges. Now everything has changed - the price in Korea first fell below $ 8000, while in the rest of the world it was still 8100 $ (especially the high-volume exchanges USDT).

Also, many investors were in a difficult situation because of the risk of losing the ability to withdraw the crypto currency into the currency because of negative feedback and news about the USDT.

[AndreyBitTalk]

bitcoin is growing,although it is not worth the price,it turns out you pay for anything))but with our people,it will still grow

[wahyu.prist]

Because people do not know about bitcoin and too much sales of bitcoin hence the main trigger of bitcoin prices fall in the market. Thanks

[mOgliE]

Hi,

Bitcoin is falling for so many reasons...

- People tend to panick selling each time there is a bad piece of news striking out. India, China, South Korea are kind of.. specialists on the matter!
- Prices always fall at the beginning of the year.
- The fall is being rather extensive because more and more governments are implementing regulations around cryptos.
- There are more and more people in the community, so more and more erratic moves.


Among others, of course. This is just a short list of the most obvious reasons coming to my mind!

There are lot of factors that affect Bitcoin and to the point that it's value fall. But these are only challenges Bitcoin faces through out the years. Upon entering 2018 Bitcoin experience a dramatic fall but little by little it is climbing in the chart. But not totally fall to the extent that it will not survive. Bitcoin is a survivor and we believe in that.

[sasinghal]

These up and downs are normal in investment. And now the price is not that less, it had started increasing and will increase a lot more in upcoming future.

[djmuler]

Stop asking why!
continue HODLing!

It is going to be falling all year.  Last time took over three years to reach old high.

[elizavetausova0112]

it was necessary to buy then when Bitcoin was cheap and perhaps now you would have a fairly large amount on hand

What you said is true, we who have dared to hold bitcoin must accept every risks that are happening up to this day. Bitcoin’s price does hard to predict but the profit is very big. This had happened when china blocked all the ICOs of BTC and it affected the bitcoin’s selling price until it went dip to $ 3000.
I'm sure bitcoin’s selling price will rise again, so you have to be patient waiting for it.

[Aleksandr_ov]

That's me, this question is very interested in why he is so LONGLY falling! it was not all hamsters who sold the coins !? once the prices are kept at a minimum, then someone else needs it! Looking forward to improving soon!

[ElizRu]

Because the topic of crypto currency has become very popular and other competing currencies have entered the market

[Jgatsby]

For me this is quite normal, things like this happens quite often, prices/value may fall now and then without prior notice. So in my opinion just trust Bitcoin, for the prices will surge in no time, don't panic sell or anything. Just look at the bright side of this event, this means opportunity for us to buy lows and sell high right? thinking about this kind of events will only stress you out so if I were you, just hold.

[bitcoinstress]

Bitcoin price falling due the demand getting low and most of the holder was taking profit but I'm sure in the future Bitcoin will goes higher than it.

[xWolfx]

Just like any investments there are a lot of newbies involved. When the slight wind blows in the wrong direction, it could be media, someone saying something bad, any slight change in the market, the newbie investors panic sell which makes the spiral go down.

It is a good thing though, we can then buy cheap  . Bitcoin is the future, too bad for people who can't see it.

They will regret later.

[9emb3lelit3]

Not in my opinion, bitcoin will always be on top even though there are so many coin-coins that follow this bitcoin.
Bitcoin will always be felt at the highest level, because the bitcoin name is well known and has the best system for all its users.

[RedzoneASE]

You are right indeed. Bitcoin will not fall before other crypt. It will not be replace by the other coin which has a long long way to go to compete with btc. From time to time btc price indeed fluctuate but it always show signs of comeback and it is the best asset of bitcoin.

[Reid]

It is because of demands.
Now, it looks like a lot of people are selling again taking some small profits from that 8k fall.

But if you are not into that kind of trading which just includes a little time, then you can just hold it and wait for the value to soar again.
It is the best way where the risk is not much instead of making a guess if this is the max profit or should I wait more which sometimes gives you the regrets.

Bitcoin is falling because some people cannot wait to see the raise in the price of the bitcoin, so they sell. Negative news impacted people to let go of their cryptocurrency. So for some it's impatience while some just get scared to lose all their coins. There were also some holders who invest during the time that btc was at its peak. They got too excited and think that it would always be like that. So they became disappointed and just give up.

[Pinkris128]

Bitcoin price falling due the demand getting low and most of the holder was taking profit but I'm sure in the future Bitcoin will goes higher than it.

It was normal indeed, thats why bitcoin was called volatile because its value was not fixed. There are times that it was increasibg but also there are times that it was falling. The concept of it was like a supply and demand. If you are afraid about the loss do not be, just have patience and wait until it pump again to get profit from it.

definitely I think the bitcoin price falling due to the demands, and the whales investor's withdraw the investments because I think the whales are need to use their into another investment opportunity, that's only my opinion and observation speculation I'm not sure that is perfectly truth.

[Thadeous]

I think this bearish market state is caused by absence of new big investors, while old ones playing pump and dumps to squeeze as much profit as possible from the current market.

This is one out of many reasons why bitcoin price fall down, but in my opinion declining of bitcoin price was due to unexpected banning of crypto currencies into different part of the world.

[yesuidanggan]

Binance is said to have been hacked by hackers, resulting in the loss of BTC!

Recently, the SFC stopped some ico projects and began to investigate and supervise them!

Caused the recent market fall!

Most probably because of panic selling because last 2017, a lot of newbie investors bandwagon-ed and followed their gut that eventually, bitcoins will rise in price. A lot of people rode the hypetrain and eventually, a lot of people panic sell their coins when they heard a lot of news about banning of bitcoins from other countries.

[ngavanngo22]

The fall in Bitcoin rates due to the Chinese New Year, plus the negative news on the crypto, has led to a 50% fall in Bitcoin rates at the end of 2017. As a result of the Binance exchange hacking, Bitcoin has fallen to less than $ 10,000. Hope Q2 2018 the exchange rate of cryptocurrencies market will recover.  

[TraderInc]

I think this bearish market state is caused by absence of new big investors, while old ones playing pump and dumps to squeeze as much profit as possible from the current market.

Yea I agree with you.
The big money is missing.
Also, I have heard that Smart money comes in when BTC reaches 14000.00
No one is interested in crypto right now. Only the Core community is here right now and BTC is still
10k just with its genuine community which also tell us that bitcoin core community is quiet huge now too.
If there is a bull run then people will start flocking.

[ballexplorer]

I've heard that all Altcoins at Binance have been converted to BTC.
In addition, there should be problems with decentralized exchanges by the SEC.
These are the reasons why the price has plummeted by about 1000 points.

First of all, if you know the basic of the Bitcoin and the crypto world, you will know that such price reduction and price increasing is very normal and very usuall in the world of crypto. It is why makes Bitcoin grow up and crypto always developing. If the price of Bitcoin always go up and never go down, it will be so strange and unusuall. But if the price of Bitcoin go down, we all know that the price of Bitcoin will go up soon. If you ask for some common answer, then this statement of my mine may help you. But if you want to ask for specific question about why is the Bitcoin falling right now, maybe the above statement will give you an answer.

[chengyinoing]

Bitcoin's decline has had a lot of impact, as some big countries have introduced policies that regulate the use of cryptocurrency, and many people fear that sales will drive down the price of bitcoin.

[KITTY 0108]

Why bitcoin falls? in my opinion bitcoin does not fall, maybe due to work competition factor alone, causing bitcoin price to be down current.

[asicuser]

I am not sure it's falling, up and down is normal.

[EthanKai]

Maybe some of the holders of bitcoin are dumping too fast because of the speculation that the btc will drop soon. The problem with people is believing too fast on some fancy news which can lead chaos to some people too.

[Makingmoney2018]

Don't panic if bitcoin is falling it's normal, anyway it is not permanent that keeps it falling. Keep on holding bitcoin until the price will rise again.

[Zavakrayn]

Same reason as it is now.   FUD!

[Df9898]

because there are investors who directly sells many bitcoin it which causes the price of bitcoin fell as investors deciding that downs a bitcoin and there are those who want to drop and it makes the bitcoin bitcoin fall.

[hot_ads]

All kinds of bad news about BTC led to the price of BTC falling. Last night, binance's bad news directly caused the BTC to drop by $1000.

[jackchun]

today bitcoin price keep falling

[Dewi11]

I do not understand why bitcoin keeps falling, when bitcoin falls, there is a problem with saying that the huge amount of sales in China is in the Lunar New Year. and at that time the largest holder of bitcoin is china.
and now the Lunar New Year has passed but bitcoin also does not rise, scaring the investors until finally they sell bitcoin to avoid big losses.
Lack of public confidence in bitcoin will be the impact of the decline in bitcoin prices, the development of bitcoin inflation rate depends on the beliefs of people around the world.
Keep your investment in bitcoin so that bitcoin prices go up.

[Pandacomel]

THE bitcoin price has plunged amid a massive sell-off prompted by mounting fears of a trading ban in South Korea. Ripple, ethereum and other cryptocurrencies are continuing to fall today after uncertainty over crypto trading in South Korea.South Korea’s Government is now working on a bill which effectively limit digital currency trade amid fears that speculative prices are a dangerous risk to investors.China has already banned the trade of cryptocurrencies and Russia is toying with a similar idea.But Korea’s plans have not been finalised yet and still need to be passed through Government for approval.According to Matt Greenspan, an analyst at trading platform eToro, trade volume in South Korea and Japan has seen steady decline over the past days

[dedens212]

The number of issues that spread in some countries that prohibit the existence of Bitcoin, other than it is rules to ban the trading of virtual currency. Some of these things make bitcoin prices and a bunch of other virtual currencies plummeting dramatically.

[pinkman12345]

today bitcoin price keep falling

Worst is yet to come. I believe that we will see a major dip below 8700$ in a day. Cant control emotions the sell it for USDT at least secure face face value.

[Blackrosek]

Recently some false news about Bitcoin is spreading. Many people think that it is being used for evil purposes. So the negative effect of Bitcoin is decreasing day by day.

I think it's a very natural thing because the price of Bitcoin is falling once. Precisely this is called fluctuate. Although Bitcoin has dropped by 56% since the turn of the year, I am sure that by the end of the year Bitcoin prices will rise higher than last year. So do not be surprised by the dramatic decline in Bitcoin prices. Most importantly we are all optimistic that Bitcoin prices can touch the highest value again.

OMG, It has no relation to FUD around India.

20k was a huge exaggeration , a bubble . The downtrend is because of the overall situation around crypto market , you can say that it is a bear market till confirmed otherwise.

[Jossy111]

bitcoin is falling because of the crises that arose about it early this year which gave many investors panic and they began to sell out their investments. also based on the big investors like Facebook, Microsoft amongs many other big investors that back off from investing into bitcoin because they wanted to create their own crypro coin. we now have many ICO out there which has really distracted other investors focus from bitcoin. these among others are the reasons for the bitcoin drastic fall

Well, while ICOs distract investor's focus from Bitcoin, they indirectly attract focus to Ethereum, because most of ICOs are based on ETH.
But what see nowadays is that Ethereum falls even more than Bitcoin. So I think it's not the main reason...

[rose9696]

bitcoin is in a red alert state and falls fast. But that will not affect the value of bitcoin. I think this is the way of the billionaires in the crypto market, they are aiming shady and are making people worry about the cost of bitcoin.
Not only are bitcoins falling fast, there are many altcoins like the case of bitcoin. So do not worry too much, the price of bitcoin will increase again in a short time.

[hen cet]

Bitcoin falls because of the bad news about bitcoin, it's a strategy that has big funds for bitcoin to fall off, and once the bitcoin falls low, it's their chance to buy it as much as possible, and hold it until the bitcoin price recovers, to get that profit big.

[tung06081989]

maybe they buy btc when btc=1000 usd and they want to take profit ,and now has more ico,when ico complete,they wil sell to market,and buyer cut loss to protect account

[boddy.dy]

Bitcoin is not falling at all. If you think that bitcoin is falling you better go back to basic. Seek some advice of your friend who have enough experience here. You can also read more articles or books about the real flow or process of bitcoin. There are also video clips, teaching the actual step by step on how you will improve your skills here. Because bitcoin is normally in nature that comes so high and can go so low. In the other word it is the flow of bitcoin, if this will not happen to bitcoin surely no one will get profit with this.

[bobtom]

There are usually many reasons for the decline in the price of Bitcoin, especially the national government's policies and major social events. This is the most likely cause of Bitcoin's large fluctuations.

[mmp95]

I am not sure it's falling, up and down is normal.

In summary, all parties have exerted pressure on cash flow. Therefore, the continued gloomy decline of bitcoin in the short term is caused by many reasons. However, the downward trend is like “failure is overwhelming,” and any bearish position will cause a decline, plus new shares. Spam, this will cause Bitcoin to fall.

Actually the price fall causes by some factors like the bad things spreading around the investors or the whales dump on a coin.But bitcoin price volatility is just normal and the price difference getting more and more range when increase in the price.

[Visbay]

Don't panic if bitcoin is falling it's normal, anyway it is not permanent that keeps it falling. Keep on holding bitcoin until the price will rise again.

Yes of course studding bitcoin has this kind of ability to change the price all the so as a bitcoin user we much know about the price rise and fall, panic selling can cause high lose so better if you use the opportunity and buy bitcoin and such low and affordable price, many big market investors use to buy bitcoin at the vest low price and then the hold for the better return of highly increase increasing price after a temporary fall.

[hsjd569]

There are usually many reasons for the decline in the price of Bitcoin, especially the national government's policies and major social events. This is the most likely cause of Bitcoin's large fluctuations.

There are many reasons for the decline in Bitcoin price trading volume, partly due to the tightening of global supervision and some investors have lost their trading channels.

[teejayrichard2]

one major factor that cause bitcoin to fall is panic. seems people are always on the lookout for negative news about bitcoin and when they do, they rush to quickly sell off their bitcoin. by selling off at a rush, bitcoin price gets affected and gradually reduces which is bad for bitcoin and cryptocurrency market

[BasilHawkins007]

because a few people with a lot of bitcoin in his wallet is selling that is why it is falling. I hope it will get over in a short time possible.

[wahyu.prist]

There are some people who make a bad news so people are selling bitcoins so bitcoin prices fall in the market, it will not last long. Thanks

[Yarsk]

Bitcoin price may fall do to many factors such as regulations from government that has direct impact on the exchange market and also FUDS that pump up bad news about bitcoin there by leading to panic selling and buying. And since bitcoin is operating on the economic law of demands and supply it price is effected directly.

[greenpath]

We can assume that this all happening because bitcoin dev doing something better to upgrade bitcoin system. Or maybe because of few demands of bitcoin because today we always notice in payment it is converted to ethereum not bitcoin. Maybe this year can be possible as altcoin year.

[pekcoin01]

In the past we were making money easily. The market is very calm right now. They are constantly making money from the market and are dropping prices.
I think governments are dropping prices. The market has become very dangerous.

[Fairy_90]

The reason for Bitcoin's decline was that it was the Bitcoin boomers of governments around the world, and they predicted Bitcoin's gloomy future. In addition, hackers invaded trust. in bitcoin decline. The unexpected drop in the virtual money market has caused many investors to worry about the premise of "bubble burst" virtual currency earlier than planned.

And since bitcoin is operating on the economic law of demands and supply it price is effected directly.

Recently we've been experiencing another break of the entire crypto turning into red just because of some law issues regarding on regulating exchanges. It gives worries into community  and then create a panic selling that could make worst in the market trend.

Have a look at this thread-
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2854123.0
You can see there has once been around 97% percent dip in bitcoins price. So just relax and stay calm, bitcoin will pump whatever be the reason for its dump.Russia legalizing bitcoin and allowing tax free mining of it in some areas will greatly affect bitcoins value.

I heard a news that there is a businessman who sold his hold bitcoins for billion dollars that is one reason why bitcoin has falling down in its price. I just hope it will be rising again soon. I believe it will be rise up if it hits again on its demand.

[m1c0]

Well I guess it is falling because there are more sellers than buyers right now 
no just kidding, it's not clear what causes the long bear market right now. Maybe it was just overhyped at the end of 2017 and now we see a healthy correction to a point where buyers start fomo'ing again.
Also it is said that Mt.Gox is selling thousands of bitcoins so there are panic waves in which bitcoin crashes very fast.

Market looks very unstable atm and a lot of experts don't agree if we are in a bullish or bearish scenario right now.
I think we will retest one more time $6-7k then go back to bullrun again.

[Rupok]

The question will be raised in our mind,Bitcoin prices have reduced considerably in very short periods.Everyone is frustrated with this issue.However, I know that the price of Bitcoin has decreased so much. They are very disappointed in this matter. At the end of this year, I feel that the price of Bitcoin will increase rapidly.

[htsz_da12]

At present, the market is weak and many funds are unwilling to buy BTC at current prices. Therefore, the price of BTC has not been rising.

The fell off of bitcoin last January caused both a loss and gain to different people. The decrease of price is a result of high percentage of sellers than the buyers, supply and demand law where the price is reflected.
It is really expected as the price went to a incredibly high at $20000, worth over a million on our country and i guess the price will be back before the end of the year.

I dont think so that bitcoin is falling besides if its falling it because of crypto currencies and some demand buy and sell system though it can really effect bitcoin system .

[cold cool]

When the market is low, the price of bitcoin, the benchmark, is certainly falling, as is the stock market. Please be rational about this problem.

I don't think the crash back then would have been stired by the Indian government because I do think there are as many whales as countries like Japan, China or the USA and knowing the major drop of prices was as a result of exchange regulations and some banks closing accounts known for crypto transactions.

[bajigur894784]

I think, bitcoin the decline this year is because warnings from a number of regulators and the crackdown on the virtual currency market in several countries in asia.

Earlier this year, authorities in China are reportedly planning to block domestic access to Chinese and foreign virtual currency platforms that allow for a centralized trade. The regulator will also target individuals and companies that provide trade-related services that are centralized.

then, South Korea was reportedly drafting rules to ban virtual currency trading last month.

ofcourse, This makes bitcoin prices and a number of other virtual currencies plummeted dramatically.

[bellakrstna]

Bitcoin is falling because various reason.
For example, some people dump bitcoin in a large number so the market is affected.

[Netnox]

It has fallen when compared to the prices in December. But you should remember that the exchange rates were below $1,000 per coin less than 15 months ago. Compared to that, the prices are still up by some 850%.

[megalith07]

I am not sure it's falling, up and down is normal.

I surmise that Maybe in light of the media dependably say that Btc is exceptionally hurtful when put resources into dependably discuss the negative side of Btc. Also, another reason is a few people don't accept and Btc we are not all that frenzy and soon everything will be ordinary. I utilize it to pay charges and gain some cash since I trust that Btc will give me a considerable measure of benefit later on.

CoinMarketCap price charts show that bitcoin has been falling for weeks, though this latest crash has been blamed on mounting confusion surrounding the Indian Government’s stance on cryptocurrencies.

The first is that there has been bad news about bitcoin, which has caused people to panic and sell bitcoins, which has led to a drop in the price of bitcoin.
Second, bitcoin has gone up so much that it needs to be adjusted.

[gemajai]

There maybe many reasons but I think, one important factor is that more people are now investing in other cryptocurrencies. Airdrops and bounties helped promote other coins. Other bitcoin holders are selling theirs to reinvest into some of these other coins. Another is the fear of getting hacked and losing more and more as they hold and wait.

[Babyboy423]

 Bitcoin’s price fall is attributed to: Market manipulation - an unregulated market faces such challenges. It is extremely easy for people who hold large amounts of Bitcoin, to manipulate the price in their favor.

[Cryptomaniac13]

Unfortunately, Bitcoin is manipulated by Whales that squeezing the bitcoin

[piter_wip12592]

Bitcoin wallet gets hacked and takes everything away. I think the bitcoin price is related to this issue. For now, I see a lot of hackers breaking into their wallets and taking away what people are doing. This has a big impact on this market.

[orarider]

I think that is the rule of the development of digital money. bitcoin after a cycle to the highest peak, it will fall to the bottom and into a new cycle. I think you should invest bitcoin at this point and store it.

[Alexis.Nick]

Bitcoin is falling maybe because of the increasing number of its competitors. We must admit to ourselves that there are a lot of bitcoin competitors arise in this days. They are not just a competitors because some of them we can say a heading bitcoin on the top or being an almost the same stand of bitcoin. Even we can see that the users of bitcoin is still moving up, some of the old users are splitting now, and they were choosing to patronize the competitors for their different reasons. If this scenario will continues I guess bitcoin will not just fall this may also lead for vanish of bitcoin.

Everyone was absolutely lustful for non-stop positivity and promise of exponential growth, even though there were plenty of warnings about massive overvaluation from the old hands. I myself wrote up a valuation of Bitcoin back in December, put it between $5,091 and $7,385. Got hate PM's from /r/Bitcoin posters. I got attacked by people from another certain subreddit who brigaded here (the crypto that is now banned mention for the next month) for my valuation of that crypto, which wasn't even negative, it simply was about 2x over market price rather than wildly optimistic 10x growth. Got plenty of hate PMs for that too. People who were warning against the price action going up too fast because of emotional investing were made fun and told they're jealous they missed out, attacked by the hivemind and disparaged for "spreading FUD". I've seen this happen to other posters too.

The reason is not just about the confusion that is caused by the Indian Government's stance on cryptocurrencies. They have issued an official statement in line with this uncertainty. And the statement went out a little soothing to crypto supporters and their fears because it was sort of reassuring. The Indian government will not ban cryptocurrency there. They will most probably regulate it and then tax it. There is nothing wrong with it. A ban is what we all are avoiding. Especially in a country with so huge a population that are into crypto, India should be in our favor. 

[rhenrhen]

For me, there is nothing to worry about it because it is part of the cycle. One of the reason for Bitcoin's crash is probably the recent situation in United States and other countries. There are some countries who were banning cryptocurrency and USA has some issues about it, I guess. But everything will turn back steady. Maybe in the second quarter, Bitcoin's price will regain.

[wiser]

Anyone here heard of the Tokyo Whale? He's the guy charged with liquidating Mt. Gox assets and paying off creditors. He periodically sells off BTC, and when he does, the market takes a dive. When it recovers, then he sells again. He's trying to get around $10K per BTC. I'm guessing he sold again earlier today.

For me, bitcoin fall because of some other people stop investing in this crypto. Bitcoin is really the best even in its worst because eventhough bitcoin price drop but we people learn on how to take a risk and how to face any problem. Bitcoin help us to be strong enough in any problem we've encounter and I owe bitcoin for teaching me like those.

[Noilee]

Bitcoin is not falling but the price of it is just falling due to a lot of individuals/investors are all afraid in the price right now due to the left and right negative news, that means they don't fully understand the concept what bitcoin is and that they are just after the money when the price is high but when the price is low, they don't support bitcoin.

Maybe because of negative news when they heard, so people panic and they scared to invest in bitcoin. That's why some investors stop investing. You're true it shows only that they don't really understand and lack of knowledge. Even if the price may low or high, If you really support bitcoin you just continue believe and invest in bitcoin. But we always believe the price of bitcoin will increase.

[Thiekungan]

yes, I think the demeanour of a country's government greatly affects the reduction of bitcoin prices. Not only that, bad news about bitcoin is also one of the causes. It makes the users become worried and panicked and then they sell their coins. Panic sell will make the situation worse.

[alekseidanilov0803]

the task is to sell coins at the best possible price. The only difference from similar procedures in the US is the method of implementation. Coins are not sold at auctions, but on certain exchanges.

Well i think its because the issues that spreading across the internet today, do you ever heard about the crypto ads banning and which means a lot of traders or holders of bitcoin is panicking and by the fake news it surely can effect not just bitcoin but the marketplace. And it can result to bitcoin to decrease or to fall.

I am also confused as to why the price of Bitcoin could fall so far. And the end of 2017 Bitcoin prices really is at its peak. And I think early in 2018 the price of Bitcoin will go up even higher but my prediction is very wrong.

[Jaemouns]

It is falling because some people have been spreading news they perfectly knew were false in a purpose to make price go down to buy back and make money. It is how it all works.

Well said bro,  they tells negative about bitcoin thats why bitcoin is falling down. Hoping that is just a normal for btc to go low then go high as pulse.

[daoquanghuan]

At present bitcoin prices are declining and may fall further due to bad news. I think the next few months the market will rise again

[prosokeslo]

Bitcoin is falling because a market simply cannot stay high all the time. There are drops, crashes, dips. This is actually how smart investors make the most money. If bitcoin stayed at a steady price, you wouldn't make any money

[RudeeTam]

People lose interest in bitcoin and might be moving to another coin or just not buying altogether. It's just the time of the week or month and is pretty natural. Somehow, bitcoin will rise back as it has always done.

[Naitik]

This may be only due to different regulation applied by different governments. People are scared about it's future existence. that's why its price is down right now. but it will no longer down. soon it will reach the price that is unexpected by everyone.

[joshua05]

it isnt falling. many and all the other news have already tackled about its fall years ago, but it still continue to grow and earn more. More likely, its just sleeping.

[ogini]

Seems some whales were making fun of the market,it will soon be up,i guest by now whales should be do with there heavy sales

With the general trend of decline in the bitcoin continues to come with news, as well as altcoins into the trend of declining and leave the altcoins there leaving itself I do not like it maybe in 1 -2 month later will be great of market volume and price

[Nowherman]

The drop of bitcoin is caused by a lot of factors. This are sale of  MTGox bitcoins more than $ 400 million, threatening statements of the US Fed
and leaders of the G-20,  Korean crypto exchanges checking. These circumstances lead to a drop in confidence in bitcoins from small investors who withdraw their funds.

[frank2018]

Bitcoin is continuously going down mainly because of the initiation of new cryptocurrencies. I think most of the investors have chose to withdraw their stakes in bitcoin and invest it to other cryptos.

[boddy.dy]

I think this is not true, bitcoin itself is not falling at all. If you think that bitcoin is falling now maybe you should think again if you really know what you are doing right now. Because if you know what you are doing surely never in your mind that will come that bitcoin is falling. Well we can say that its value is facluating due to buy and sell of the bitcoin holders. But please always bare in mind that this is the true nature of bitcoin. Surely if no one will buy and sell thier bitcoin this will slowly die. So just relax and keep calm everything is in line, we are still in the right path.

In addition to the reasons you said, Bitcoin dropped due to Google's decision to stop advertising Crypto in June 2018. This is the main reason for the fall in Bitcoin prices, investors think Bitcoin will not be widely spread. when not supported by google. Bitcoin will become a bubble. So everyone sold Bitcoin, which made Bitcoin prices drop sharply.

It is the most worst act people use to do and trust me people do it to decrease the price of bitcoin intentionally so that they will be able to trade with bitcoin at very high level. Bitcoin is the best thing that all investors can have today as much as it is low in price, so no need to listen these fake news, do not panic your bitcoin because if you will hold your bitcoin it will increase high and it will give you profit then at some stage you will be proud for your decision for not panicking but holding it.

Why not just crash it? Saying it's 'too weak'? Clearly, GOOGLE and about 90% of the key players are pushing to not allow it as a form of currency. The key players want it to fail so they can launch their own block chain.

I don't believe that it will suddenly go up, unless the banks own it or have a piece of it. By that time, they will all want their own.
This is excellent, all these pussy short term investors crying when BTC is below 8k, sorry you bought at ATHs, and you all of sudden think itll get killed off by the system it's seeking to replace. Why did you make your purchase in the first place? The short sightedness of people in general is depressing, but the lower they sink the more I buy.
I think its funny people will buy bitcoin when it is at an all time high but when its low they say bitcoin is a scam. Lol If your going to go in then stay committed. So the lower the price the better. Buy more, But never invest more than you are willing to lose.

[Fazal]

One of the reasons that cause the downfall of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin is the recent hacking of the Binance stock exchange. I read the on this  site.

[Shubhamjuneja24]

Maybe, the regulators could have the biggest impact on Bitcoin and CC prices as multiple countries have either implemented some regulations or have discussed plans to limit them.

[rhayot]

First of all, no one knows what is or what are the reasons behind the falling of bitcoin price. But, with the some experts predictions it may be caused by the owners of bitcoin who sells their bitcoin in a low price because they are afraid to lose it, can be also in the supply of the bitcoin, so that the low the supply the higher of price will it be. It can be also the social media banning for crypto currencies, because we all know social media has a strong power of advertisement which is utilize now and easily to spread a news or ad. Perhaps, it is also the banning of some countries to regulate bitcoin nor crypto currencies.

[chengyinoing]

I think there are a number of factors contributing to the decline in the price of the currency, and the most important thing is that this time, the South Korea is in charge of regulation and hacking.

Crypto currencies are always volatile, so don't worry too much. Prices will always go up.

[GreenPowerRanger]

Nobody can say it why its falling. But there are some rumors about who are true. So if you long enough in cryptocurrencies, maybe the name mtgox will say something to you. It was one of the biggest exchanges for bitcoin in japan who get bankruptcy. They hold many thousands of bitcoins from their users. At the beginn of the year, the men from this exchanges sold over 35thousands of bitcoins and flooded the market. There was more supply for bitcoin then demand, and so the price dumps immediately.

[angelakrasnova]

Right now, a slightly different situation in the market bitcoin does not fall and it is growing at a rapid pace, but I think that it will fall exactly during its existence.

[valendra15]

losing confidence from world investors could have caused bitcoin to go down,if it continues like this bitcoin can lose

[Lady Coquet]

Well, in times like this what could we do is just believe to the power of bitcoin. This usually happens of too much fear of losing something about bitcoin. People and Government will later realize on what could bitcoin give, and may be the biggest source of makes bitcoin price fall could turn out to be the one who will pull the price again to the top.

CoinMarketCap price charts show that bitcoin has been falling for weeks, though this latest crash has been blamed on mounting confusion surrounding the Indian Government’s stance on cryptocurrencies.

There are many reasons why Bitcoin prices go down, but the idea I find it most likely is that many nations at the G20 decide to scrap Bitcoins and prohibit Bitcoins in their countries. In particular, the major social media networks also chose to eliminate the ads on the crypto that plunged the market.

[parassinghal]

No one can exactly tell the reason behind it but i think the price is falling because of the ban happened in various countries. And most probably the price will increase in upcoming months.

[boynamnhi]

An investor willing to accept the volatility of the market. When prices are high, we are happy, when prices drop, do not worry if you can keep the penny you have and continue to buy more. Maybe some media sites have banned Bitcoin ads, which makes some of Bitcoin's doubts affect the market. But in a short time, Bitcoin will be up again.
I'm very confident!

[boynamnhi]

losing confidence from world investors could have caused bitcoin to go down,if it continues like this bitcoin can lose

You are probably too anxious! Bitcoin is only down due to some objective external causes. The nature of Bitcoin with its benefits to humans is easy to see. I believe Bitcoin will soon emerge to break any doubts about it.

[doge_shit666]

Since Bitcoin was born so far, there is a lot of market news influencing Bitcoin that makes Bitcoin prices drop. But over time Bitcoin will rise again, no power can stop the development of Bitcoin. Bitcoin is fast growing and they have attracted many people around the world.

[TheDagger]

Because it is fluctuating..
No one can predict this price any more.. May its reason is demand on people.. Because so many peoples are using and trading bitcoin because of its price were increasing than the fiat..

[Muktar]

the first is the high number of sales in comparison with the number of buyers so that the stock of coins on the market increased which caused the price of bitcoin fell, the second negative news that many circulated in the media about bitcoin, the third banned crypto ads on google and facebook, all three are quite influential that makes bitcoin prices fall

[orarider]

I think there are many reasons for bitcoin to fall down.
1. The amount of bitcoin sold out makes it worth less.
2. The government's stance on the development of bitcoin makes it less likely.
3. Bitcoin decreases with the precision of the currency. After a strong bull market and a peak then the downtrend of bitcoin is now.

[Stimah24]

This is what make Bitcoin as an investment, sometimes it's appreciate and sometime depreciate... We can only talked about what surrounded the volatility here, Like Indian government saga, rumors emerging that cryptos will die and so on...
So, it's a normal life of bitcoin to fluctuate but too much is the problem.

[sergeykravcov177]

The thing is that bitcoin is not a stable coin that requires attention from us and when buying bitcoin we make prices higher it's profitable to buy lower and then with the help of its activity to make bitcoin rise.

[reighbut2017]

Yes, There are many reasons why the bitcoin is falling one possible reason is due to bad news circulated in the digital media network that trying to destruct the images of bitcoin so investor get panic and sell their investment in low price.

[fortuneteller]

Falling for some reasons.
- demand for bitcoin goes down.
- people over react on negative news
- people retrieve investment for the reason that they maybe affected in the banning of btc in their countries.
-some countries are doing their move on banning cryptocurrency.

Yet, with all the positivity i believe in the rise of bitcoin value again.

Well, different reasons being said that affected the price dump of the Bitcoin.

News from the G20 meearing has recently boost the Bitcoin growth for now. I await more of the positive news.

I think if the bitcoin will down because of investors sell her bitcoin so that the price will fallen but dont be panic of that because bitcoin price down is that a normal setuation.bitcoin is normally high and low value price but we know in a coming years bitcoin will growing up so that dont be scared and continue to hold and wait the exact time to sell but reason of low price is investors sell her bitcoin

The current market of bitcoin and other crypto is still on the dips.
i think the reason about this falling are regulations. Regulations about bitcoin and cryptocurrency.

[Alohadance]

I believe in bitcoin. It is traditional usd in cryptocurrency and it will be used for a very long time. So the falling is temporary.

[Jcabudx]

Its maybe because the supply and demand in the market of bitcoin is low so that the price will also get low.

[karlkino]

The price of bitcoin and all altcoins is dependent on the total market capitalization for any given cryptocurrency. so as negative news is being released many people are cashing out and jumping ship, leading to the decrease in value/price.

[rfouziha]

Lot of people / members thought Indian's participation in bitcoin is very less percentage. But the fact is Indian political people invested in bitcoin a very unpredictable level and due to the Indian government actions on Bitcoin account holders make huge impact and the inflow cash to involve in bitcoin has been controlled and the politicians don't want to involved in bitcoin. That's the reason bitcoin is falling.

[wladsem555]

I think that the drop or growth of bitcoin is affected by a lot of factors - both economic and political, as well as various information from around the world market. The market of crypto-currency is quite young and all its processes have been little studied. Perhaps today, a large enough influence on its development is provided by various prohibitions of many countries, as well as the possibility of using crypto currency as a legal method of payment.

It does not matter even the market is crashing because the prices will still go back to normal after a few months just like what happened last year when china banned the ico's in their places, the market has crashed but still it recovers.

[redsap]

because there is due many bad news about bitcoin and becuase of that many people are going to dump their bitcoin that they hold it
you see the news about china when they are banning the cryptocurrency because their goverment upset that matters when the mining industry has fallen their power energy, or there are rumors to because big scam ICO in china made the goverment neg trust of all crypto thing

[dashayana]

Bitcoin as one of the most beloved cryptocurrency currencies has always been talk. This time, Bitcoin has drastically decreased in price. This is due to a growing number of concerns about cryptocurrency and the ICO market. When they operate there is investor protection that is less substantial than the market traditional securities. It is in line with greater opportunities for fraud and manipulation.

[BTC_Kids]

I think reason of this is bad news!!

Bitcoin has fallen by more than 56 percent since the turn of the year, after peaking at nearly $20,000 in December 2017.

CoinMarketCap price charts show that bitcoin has been falling for weeks, though this latest crash has been blamed on mounting confusion surrounding the Indian Government’s stance on cryptocurrencies.

The price in the market is volatile and there is no accurate prediction when the price will decrease or increase so reading different speculations and news is really good in order to make right decisions for you to increase the just of earning more profit.

[MD Milon]

The main reason of bitcoin falling are,some media show negative news,some media show false news ,bad news make everyone to sell bitcoin,and its price falling.but I believe,bitcoin come back within very soon.

[Ca.ming14]

Bitcoin last hit these lows in early February, 2018, dipping just below $6000 before spiking to $12,000, so investors should remain hopeful that history repeats itself. Cryptocurrencies have been under intense scrutiny this last week amid continuing dissatisfaction in how tech companies such as Facebook secure and distribute user data. It’s hard to say what the cause of this current crash is outside of a general mistrust in technology. The biggest crypto coin wasn’t the only one to suffer from the slump, as the whole market endures a bearish trend.

[Tagabukid69]

Bitcoins drastically falling because of the negative point of view from medias which pushes the investors to lose their trust as a result bitcoin directly drops its value.

[Verdika90]

In January alone, Bitcoin declined by more than half its value; from 13,763 US Dollars at the beginning of the month to 10,267 US Dollars at the end of the month. Why Bitcoin Prices Down?
Actually, the decline in the value of Bitcoin occurs due to various factors, including:
1. Bitcoin Scalability Problem.
2. Bitcoin Legality Problems.
3. The launch of Bitcoin Futures.
4. Crypto is Not Just Bitcoin
5. Bitcoin Mining Cost Increases.
maybe it's some of the factors that cause the falling bitcoin.

The bitcoins are falling because maybe a lot of people are panic selling again ao that the demands of the bitcoins is much lesser so the price is dropping again and it is kinda alarming too but i really do not want to lose money so i am not selling mine. And i am still hoping that the bitcoijs woll soon recover their price and will go to the moon again before the year ends and the year is still not in the middle and it is getting started i hope that when the ber months comes in the bitcoins will be on the moon again

[Undamobil]

We know that the price of bitcoin two years ago is far beyond the price this year, if bitcoin is used for investment it would be nice to use free money, so we are not easily agitated

[koralan]

BTC prices may fall due to the large social networks such as facebook, twitter, google they have colluded with the decision to ban advertising for the Crypto market. And a number of Binance cases have left investors frightened and sold their BTCs out of the market. I think we should consider carefully before investing in Crypto. At present they are not easy to earn anymore.

There are many reasons why bitcoin is falling. Bitcoin is volatile and i think the falling of its value is normal. Bitcoin is falling because of the bad news spreading on the social media, and i think big whales is part of it, big whales are using social media to manipulate the value of bitcoin, so that they can harvest bitcoin on the panic seller, for them to earn big profit when the value of bitcoin increase.

[Adreman23]

I may not say bitcoin is falling but bitcoin is colling down back to stable price because of sudden pump of price last december 2017. Bitcoin stable price still increase each year so we just hold and do the technique buy the dip and sell high.

[Heronzkey]

Analysts say the dip is caused by fears of regulation, rumours of an exchange hack, and news of a big seller in the market.

[billykannithi]

Yeah, if people who know well about the history of Bitcoin , specially in 2016 and 2017 they will know right now isn't the right moment for them to sell their Bitcoins at all .
Because the price was dumped at the begin and middle of the year always but it will be pumped at the end of the year.

[kirito1614]

Bitcoin isn't falling yet its cost is simply falling because of a ton of speculators are for the most part apprehensive in the value at this moment because of the left and right antagonistic news, that implies they don't completely comprehend the idea what bitcoin is and that they are soon after the cash when the cost is high yet when the cost is low, they don't bolster bitcoin.

[vincesmart]

There are some people who spreading negative  news about bitcoin  so people are panicking and  selling their bitcoins so bitcoin price is  fall in the market,

[CryptoSmile]

Today's price of bitcoin is dropping to $7,000 and it is a retracement movement. It is affected by high volume of bitcoin sell for profit taking and low demand especially for new investors to buy. Besides that price drop is also influenced by recent bad news from social media like facebook and twitter to ban advertisement through these two media.Facing this condition we are expecting for price to recover soon as bitcoin lovers.

[AlekseyBTC]

Look at the graph, bitcoin went up nonstop last year, had no limits. Then take profits, regulations, fear and many other feelings, they left investors very scared .. as soon as that opportunity does not arise and the price continues to fall, people will remain scared and waiting. As for bitcoin, I think it's a good refuge like gold, you just have to wait, this is just the beginning. Hold!

[mkcube]

Maybe bitcoin is falling due to a high demand in the market,our supply is in need.Thats why we have a low rate,but it cannot be destroy,nothing to worry, it will be back on the other days.We will just have to wait for the risen of btc.

I think the falling price of Bitcoin has become commonplace. Given the fluctuating nature of cryptocurrency so I really understand this. But although Bitcoin can fall to drastic, I'm sure this is only temporary and someday the price will rise again.

[argonresonates3]

Its better if it gets totally outrunned because then atleast people could be relieved of risk factors in btcs

[endermanfomalhaut7]

Oh my god 56% isn't a joke? I am afraid that it will downtrod further

[redshiftexpensive]

This condition depends on several factors including the unwillingness if advanced nations for bitcoins

[eann014]

In my opinion, bitcoin price is falling because many of us already sold their bitcoins. Maybe they are too afraid to lose more than what they are expected so they sell their bitcoin immediately before its too late for them. And I think one of the reasons why bitcoin price is falling is because some investors won't invest in bitcoin and invest with other altcoins already because they think that they can get more profit from it than bitcoin.

[PalindromemordnilaP]

Bitcoin is falling not because whales are manipulating their prices. It's because of corrections made in order to prepare bitcoin in a more and very big market cap that is about to happen this year as what is speculated by experts. So if you are holding bitcoin, just hodl it strong because if you sell it off, you are just making bitcoin to fall even deeper.

[BUK2016]

There are so many factors militating against the market value of bitcoin fluctuation downward in addition to the one you mentioned above. Some of them includes panic on the part of bitcoin holders, spreading fake news about bitcoin ban, selling off by whales and government regulatory policy.   

[Apaxy]

I think that no situation with the Chinese government, as well as with other news about the ban, Bitcoin has nothing to do with the current situation in the crypto currency market. First of all, you should pay attention to Bitcoin's demand and offer on the market. The fact is that popularity is falling, and Bitcoin's offer is increasing.

Bitcoin is never going to disappoint anyone ever who are going to support it forever. There are other currencies as well in the market but they are nothing as compared to bitcoin at the moment and even in the coming years of the crypto market, there will be no change in the leadership qualities of bitcoin. It is not possible for other coins to achieve what bitcoin is doing at present. The demand for this coin will keep increasing.

[viacoininfuse]

I don't think we should blame only the indian govt thought there is no denying the fact that they are one of the important global nation

[sarjilcse]

You made a good point. actually, it is all about fud, false news, and panic selling. and there is a lot of reason why bitcoin is falling. The main thing right now it is again increasing.

[canaveralnonie]

Fake news is the most common factor to make the bitcoin image ugly. That's why more investor will pull out and avoid the crypto currency transaction in the near future. Also, those kind of bad news will make most of us a wrong decision and panic moves. The only thing we must do is to keep calm and spread a good news about bitcoin, just to attract more investors and participant . What do you think?

Bitcoin has fallen by more than 56 percent since the turn of the year, after peaking at nearly $20,000 in December 2017.

CoinMarketCap price charts show that bitcoin has been falling for weeks, though this latest crash has been blamed on mounting confusion surrounding the Indian Government’s stance on cryptocurrencies.

The main reason during this moment of falling down was due to MT.Gox revealed activities of selling of massive of Bitcoin which worth billion of dollars. Because of this the Bitcoin price crashed in which it create a panic selling for most of the holders of Bitcoins and Altcoins but now the Bitcoin is recovering and starting to a bullish performance but we should always be aware as this is probably manipulated by the big whales once again like Mt. Gox who are pretending as an exchange but i believed they are one of the big whales that manipulating the market.

[nightfury]

Bitcoin is falling because of undeniable factors to be considered. One of those is due to corrections that lead to bitcoin crash and the alternate coins too. People who are selling off their bitcoin including whales can also be the culprit of bitcoin's falldown since the demand of people is getting low already.

People are really loosing interest to Bitcoin. i think That's why the price is going down. But in my option there are also some other reasons. First of all, it's huge price that doesn't let newbies buy Bitcoin, so bitcoins now literallty circulate between exchanges.

I don't think the crash back then would have been stired by the Indian government because I do think there are as many whales as countries like Japan, China or the USA and knowing the major drop of prices was as a result of exchange regulations and some banks closing accounts known for crypto transactions.

[airdrophunter]

Bitcoin is falling because bitcoin is is built imbued with volatility. So don't expect bitcoin to constantly rise without falling because it's already natural. People may lose interest in any time of the day that is why they will sell their bitcoin that affects the fall down of bitcoin price.

Counterfeit news circulating makes most people panic and make them afraid of losing the money they invest in bitcoin, they will sell the bitcoin they have. Many people who sell bitcoin make the price fall.

[Hotel_Prodeo]

Bitcoin falling is usually due to user factors that sell bitcoin, they sell for many reasons and I'm sure most of the reason is because it requires money, but I'm sure that the future of bitcoin will keep improving so I never hesitate to keep in a long time.

Bitcoin falls due to the increase or decrease in the demand for it and also if some negative news come in the market that also affects people to stop them investing in it. This is very weak as compared to Bitcoin because we have noticed the survival of Bitcoin besides external forces and these negativities. People have defeated these negativities and now the price is on the increase trend.

I think there's really not much to it. It falls and rises since it's volatile. It reacts to simple good newd or fud. There are times when whales manipulate the value. We'll just stress ourselves out if we try to figure why the price moves like it does.

Price being volatile is a common factor with bitcoin. Most of the time the price used to fluctuate between two price points and finally after certain time period it'll grow marking a new price. Now the price seems to fall low because of the FUD that has been getting circulated and the whales making it an opportunity to manipulate the market.

yes, Market is little down in current situation but again market is green now. So it will move to hype because yesterday consensus impact. Last three years conference is positive in Bitcoin again this year also it will positive in Crypto platform. So everyone expecting 10k USD in end of the month.

The fall bitcoin is experiencing is due to several uncontrolled factors, such as bad news and negative opinions from people who are known to have a big influence in the global market like investors or financial experts or just casual talks from ordinary people with misconceptions about the nature of bitcoin as a cryptocurrency. Public has a wide number of audience and one wrong information can ruin the entire process.

You made a good point. actually, it is all about fud, false news, and panic selling. and there is a lot of reason why bitcoin is falling. The main thing right now it is again increasing.

Precisely! It's volatility can be a considered factor, but mainly I think we are the cause why bitcoin is falling. Due to our misconceptions, panic selling, wrong strategies, fake news from people trying to pull bitcoin down, and lack of emotional stability, we tend to be over-reactive rather than being responsive.

As we know that the fall experiences in Bitcoin generally varies with its demand and the present situations says that the demand is in equilibrium and is not changing with big margins that is why the current market is stable and does not show any sudden increase or decrease. The Bitcoin has been rising since the start of this year and this rise will go on increasing in the upcoming days.

[Nick Abimanyu]

though this latest crash has been blamed on mounting confusion surrounding the Indian Government’s stance on cryptocurrencies. 

The number of BTC users in India isn't as large as BTC users in China isn't possible if the confusion of the Indian government resulted in the decline in BTC prices globally. In this case India wasn't worth blaming because what is to blame's the spreaders of the FUD who wanted to divert public attention to some cases that's what they'll do.

Futures trading has given bears a powerful tool. Notable is, that the fall from ATH peak started on the same day bitcoin futures trade started on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME).

Bitcoin falls as many investors sell Bitcoin at cheap prices, causing Bitcoin's price to fall continuously.

Who said that Bitcoin is falling? Bitcoin is not falling but the market value is stable these days as the demand is continuously fluctuating and the price is stable between 8k dollar and 9k dollar. The rate of increase and decrease is the same that is why the demand is following both the trends and will result in a stable market price. The value will soon go high as the market is growing more and will grow in the upcoming days.

CoinMarketCap price charts show that bitcoin has been falling for weeks, though this latest crash has been blamed on mounting confusion surrounding the Indian Government’s stance on cryptocurrencies.

Bitcoin prices are falling because more and more investors are selling Bitcoin at low prices, causing the price of Bitcoin to drop. If they continue to hold Bitcoin at a low price I am sure the price of Bitcoin will not fall this way. And now there are also some countries that prohibit the use of Bitcoin so that Bitcoin users in the country stop using Bitcoin. Surely this greatly affects the development of Bitcoin prices. But the current Bitcoin price increase may be long and the price will rise even higher.

[Question123]

The reason why the price of the bitcoin is falling , because those people who bought bitcoin like before 2-5 years are selling their bitcoin because they need money or they scared to lose their profit and because of that other people are selling bitcoin because they panic.

[vhiancs]

Do you know this question repeatedly? the reasons for the collapse of the bitcoin price are the decrease in demand and stock in the market and I only know the decrease of demand is because of critics who don't agains't crypto currency like bitcoin currency. correct me if i'm wrong.

Yes, a part of.. but also add the factor of spreading a fake news or a bad news that make the crypto currencies looks dirty in every transaction. This is not new specially in crypto market, cause some expert says that only 40 - 50 percent is legit crypto project while the others is fraud, scam, or useless when the time goes on.

[mware]

the cryptocurrency market is very volatile. Prices get disturbed with the slightest news. If there is any govt crack down in major crypto trading nations then prices will tumble anywhere from 30 to even 50%. Just removing some exchanges in Korea from price valuations, tumbled market by 30% recently.

It's the common nature of the crypto currencies, like a little boat in the middle of the sea. Easy to move by small, big and different kind of waves that has a difficult current under the water. Adding different kind of whale who attack the main foundation of the bitcoin by exchanging a high amount of bitcoin in just a few transaction.

You're absolutely right. When an initial dip is followed by  a massive sell off, it will cause a continuous dipping of price. That is what actually had happen in the market when an initial dip caused by fake news or FUD's, small bitcoin holders are starting selling off their coins just to save their investments as panic sell off was done. And this would let them sell their coins at cheaper price. Thus making the market price to go downtrend.

I am optimistic that the price will increase even more after a few months because history will just repeat itself just like what happened last year, there are people last year who are spreading fud that bitcoins might die but still it managed to reach $20k dollars before the year ends.

Cryptocurrency Market is falling before many times because the bitcoin price is going to the downward price trend before last few months and in this way bitcoin price make a trend to the down price and if bitcoin recover the price and will go to the moon than the market will again to the moon and you saw the whole market will go to the moon.
