Why BTC is having a high price?

[Rugosa]

Scarcity and dissemination.
People are starting to realize how rare it actual is, and coming to terms with the fact that they probably will never be able to own an entire bitcoin themselves.
The rich also love to buy things after they become expensive, so more and more supply is being removed by the rich now, while the poor are desperately trying to catch the train. Couple that with supply being permanently lost over time.
 The supply shock creates that pump formation we are used to seeing, and then it dumps and begins the cycle again.

I think it just an effect what did the massive advertisement campaign in end of 2017, what was financed by the group of rich investors to boost bitcoin price. And since many of new people started using bitcoin, demand grew thereby increasing the price.

It was below 1k last year beginning. But from the mid year prices started to explode! What's the reason behind these price rise?

It happened I think because of the whale investors who are capable to manipulate the price value of bitcoin secondary the demand by that

time was so high, so its rapidly increase in an unexpected.

[zwiggel]

I think bitcoin is expensive because it is widely used. Bitcoin has high security. The bitcoin market is expanding around the world. Many countries like the United States, Japan always support bitcoin activities.

I think the main reason behind this is their popularity. Them being popular means that there will be a lot more people who will buy them because they are easy to buy and we all know the fact that if the demands of the bitcoins will rise the price of them will rise too because that how their volatility works. Then they grow much more that makes them a great investment and even those normal people who did not really invest try to biy bitcoins and so that makes the bitcoins rise.

The market depends mainly on supply and demand. Simply put, demand was high so price went up.

Also, the extreme popularity of Bitcoin in Korea pushed the price upwards. It seems the price of Bitcoin is highly elastic.

The price is depending on the supply and demand in the market and we can always rely on the volatility of the coins in order to earn more profit so we cannot always expect a high price because we also need a dumping time in order to invest at a lower price.

More people started buying it and i mean people with lots of money. It's just a simple supply and demand concept. People believe that btc is the road to success which was true and made many people millionaires and become popular then the buying trend begin which also started a bullish run that made the price what is it now.

[kolitski]

I think that is the time when businesses are looking for something new to serve their business. They found the potential of bitcoin and invested in it, so bitcoin was pumping a lot of capital. Bitcoin really has a great impact on businesses and relatives abroad. Bitcoin has done it well and meets the needs of so many people in the world, so the price of bitcoin is high.

When difference creates between demand and supply then the price move up or down,Bitcoin demand is more than supply so its price move up this is the simple logic behind any market  or trading platform or single currency.

In my opinion,the bitcoin has high price because the demand for it is very high. Normally for anything which has high demand has high price.

[Vincemanam21]

Let's say, it was thanks to the great demand it has now. It is good also that there are some promoting crypto currency

They are having a high price because there are a lot of people who are investing in them buying butcoins for the future. And buying a lot of bitcoins is an increase in the sales of bitcoin whoch makes their prices rise. Look at theur value over time they really started.from the bottom until now there are a lot.of people all around the world who knows what bitcoins are and they invested in it then that makes the bitcoin rise and you know the opposite of that so if a lot of people sells the bitcoins will drop

arena enhancement technology promised by Bitcoin system. The Bitcoin developers promised Bitcoin's increased scalability of a new method called Segregated Witness (SegWit) to provide additional space for more transactions. With the increased scalability, then the problem of increasing the expected transaction cost can be overcome.

[SplendidHunter]

I think from my opinion that the reason is just growing interest of people in cryptocurrency this days. more people/money are comming.
