But in recent weeks the price has begun rising again. Although it remains well below its peak of $20,000, it has shown steady gains to reach more than $8000 sparking a fresh surge in interest.

I think it's all special, they have their own policy there)) and bitcoin should be available in your resource unequivocally, and do not rush to spend it.

I have been seeing a bunch of topics like this that report weird things about price! another one was saying price has not yet fallen below $9000. and now you are saying in recent "weeks" it has been rising!!! so I want to ask where are you people getting your data from?!

price has been mostly going down in the past weeks and it still has not moved enough to be considered "rising" it is still pretty much in the same zone as it was before, round $8.5k. unless it starts testing $9k, that is not a rise or "steady gains".

Only Bitcoin

Bitcoin works on a public ledger called a blockchain, which holds a decentralised record of all transactions that is updated and held by all users of the network.Bitcoin jumbed up and come down,but demand and supply affect the price.

Crypto currency is a revolutionary new type of currency. Like any other currency or measure of value, they are valuable as much as we value them. Some currencies are provided by gold or other precious metals. The cost of others is supported only by their popularity and value in the eyes of people.

Crypto-currencies were conceived as conditional units for the storage of capital, which are not influenced by the central banks of the countries of the world. Let's look at the main factors that influence the formation and change of the price of the crypto currency. All of the above applies to all digital coins, not just bitcoin

Unlike traditional currencies, crypto based currencies are largely affected by the media, and these tend to run in packs. If there is even the slightest hint of negative press around a cryptocurrency, then a whirlwind begins which leads to more and more negative articles being produced, leading to FUD and a price drop.

It is more than demand and supply, we know when demand is higher it will rise but we try to learn what affects the demand, I think lots of things like fud, news, whales...

The reasons for the drop in bitcoin prices are many, among them - the tightening of the regulation of crypto-currency from the world regulators. Another reason for the drop in the cost of bitcoins is the uncertainty of investors that large, as well as new capital will come to this market, and the dynamics of growth will not be as impressive as before.

Bitcoin works within a system which represents as a currency or known as crypto currency and it affects the bitcoin price due to its technical issues and security which the hackers can intervene or to steal its property so we should be more protective,productive and do some research and survey which it can help the bitcoin industry to be a good industry in the society.

not really. bitcoin is still too small. when you are inside it and are only hanging out in bitcoin related gatherings on the internet all you see is bitcoin-related discussions so you may think it is stirring a lot of debates!

not really!
last year price was $900 and now it is $7500+ which is a 733% rise in ~1.5 year time.
what do "naysayers" have to say?

wrong again.
price is at $7588 at this moment which remains well above last year's $900

Quote

wrong again.
everything is still pretty much the same. the "surge of interest" will come when price goes above $9k at least.

There is a FOMO brewing...

Bitcoin is a virtual currency not backed by any commodity and also not controlled by any entity including the government. Have a limited supply of 21 billion. The demand and supply of bitcoin is simply what controls the price and this is simple economics. Though some set of individuals that calls themselves whales will always try to manipulate the price to their favor but not for long and believe me it's not easy to do that.

and some technologies will not be able to withstand the revival of the crypto market for a long time, especially when conditions such as long correction today. blockchain can make it rise quickly like a rocket, and also capable of making a drastic fall, and it is very painful.

and now we see bitcoin falling again, and proving us that the technology is not able to control blockchain in a long time.

Some experts predict the collapse of bitcoin. Others assume that when the maximum emission is reached, the rate of the Crypto currency will begin to change approximately the same as the real ones - to move up and down under the influence of various factors. Therefore, do not make hasty conclusions about whether it is worth buying bitcoins in 2018. It is best to weigh all the pros and cons first.

But bitcoin appears here to stay, at least for the time being. The price has remained steady in recent weeks, although it has yet to reach close to the high points of last year. Although it remains well below its peak of $20,000, it has remained around $7,500 (£5,650) over recent months.

There have been spikes along the way, possibly caused by mass computer trading or short sellers jumping ship and encouraging buyers to flood back in.

Bitcoin and blockchain are inseparable, so you should know more about blockchain.
Most of the time, the information that affects the price of bitcoin is from various media.

Even bitcoin has decreasing down to $6k now. You cannot predict the bitcoin price.
the factor that affecting its price may various. In my opinion, there are some whales playing their game.
Let see later if they buyback they dumped coins.
