Does speculation affect bitcoin negatively?

[exstasie]

Bear markets cause market events, not the other way around. This is something most people don't get.

In bull markets, bad news doesn't matter. Nobody cares because demand is too strong to affect price. In bear markets, sell pressure is already strong and people are looking for any excuse to sell. So market declines have less to do with bad news itself and everything to do with bearish market conditions.

Broadly, speculation is extremely important. Healthy price discovery is vital to the market.

From last few days, so many negative news regarding btc have been aired. Then lot of people speculate the price of bitcoin and just after that I have noticed some significant change in the price index of btc. Do you think that these speculation affect the price of btc a lot???

I think its big impact in bitcoin price because every speculation will bring the price down and people starting to panic that cause of dropping. And we cannot avoid that because it's a different opinions of others but it cause sometimes of fud news.

Of course! Baseless speculations/predictions or what most of us call is, FUD is one of the major things that affects the price of bitcoin in the market. News about bitcoin influences weak handed people to believe on what they are saying so for example someone who is known in the crypto community posted something on their social media account like "sell now, blah blah blah" so immediately, they will believe it and sell their bitcoin thus resulting to them contributing more to the dip.

i guess speculation affect the price of btc because most of the people do not have the concept clear about the cryptocurrency yet. after hearing any kind of speculation there people starts to panic and take wrong decision. there are on other ways rather then having clear knowledge.

[EnricoGomez]

It does, speculations can affect the value of bitcoin negatively.
Especially if it is related to "failing" of bitcoin, it will influence a few of the users to panic sell their coins contributing to the dump and somehow to the drop of the price depending on the volume they dumped.
Speculations can affect it positively still, too, if it is about the rise of the value or constant, steady growth, it can attract more buyers and investors into bitcoin changing the demand-supply of crypto thus increasing value.
Knowledge is a first in the field to not fall into false speculations and lose profit.

Well one of the major factors dictating the market movement is speculations. Fuds, fomos, these are driven by specularions picked up by more and more people hence the bulk in puchases and sell offs. It largely affects bitcoin value both negatively and positively

If there were no speculation within the market, then it would mean that bitcoin prices will solely be based on the adoption rates of bitcoin. If adoption goes up, then demand will go up, and prices will indeed increase as well.

Price speculation obviously would affect the price of bitcoin, and also increase the volatility of bitcoin as a result. It's not always negative, though. Prices can also go up as a result of speculation, not just go down.

Speculation is just an element of bitcoin, and is the case for any asset traded on the market.

Well for me i am not yet convinced that speculations do affect the price of bitcoin or any cryptos because as what i know speculations are only statements and coments that are not really proven , not unlike to a news that there is a legit source . Therfor i will only believe on a news rather than a speculation and i guess many people will also think that way , so overall speculations wont really have a direct effect to the prices of the cryptos.

Yes, I think speculation affect bitcoin negatively because most of the time bitcoin's  price fluctuation is occur for speculation and hacking also makes a negative impact on price.

People should not speculate much and should be buying/selling considering the price and the future. Also knowing the global economics is very essential as it also plays a vital role  in determining the price which can move either ways up or down.

[EdenHazard]

I guess the market of bitcoin price or market cryptocurrency as whole in a few months back have a downtrend, so every speculation who made by someone or some company will affect the price of bitcoin, especially came a bad information.

Each user will considered between hold and sell, but most user take decided to sell bitcoin because they afraid the price will continue to decline. Psychological users of cryptocurrency will be hung when the conditions of the market trend.

All we know, a few day back many some news who create by some expert which has predicted bitcoin prices by the end of 2018, they say bitcoin prices will touch $50,000 or bitcoin price will touch $100,000, should this speculation affect the market, but if the market is downtrend then the speculation is not affected.

It's a free market. In the end, we don't like banks and governments telling us what to do, so let's not do the same. I don't mind short term speculators to hop on board, because every person, long term minded or short term minded, brings in capital. Speculation is a crucial part of every market, and without that, markets just aren't as interesting, and thus fail to attract capital. It's not for nothing that dividend stocks exist. If you can't provide volatility or speculation because your business is consistent in its earnings and everything, you need to find other ways to attract that capital and to keep it in your market....

No . Speculation will not affect the price of bitcoin.In a speculation section,we will found only few negative speculation.Most of them are positive speculation.So it will gives positive energy to the price of bitcoin.Due to the FUD ,the price of bitcoin will reduce.I don't get any bad news about crypto currency.

[jakebell]

This will not gonna affect much which we are thinking. No it will simply make a decent environment for bitcoin dialog and could likewise be the reference on individuals holding some bitcoins. A few individuals here could astoundingly clarify the great things on bitcoin and their theory. This is the reason we have the bitcoin talk gathering for bitcoin exchange and it regards examine about bitcoin theory. For me this is a decent string to begin the hypothesis for bitcoin. Based on this investors are knowing many things and learn things about btc.

[AlisaWhishie]

It's just some "chicken-or-the-egg" type of questions.
It's OK for people to speculate as everyone wants to get fast and easy money, right? That's why positive speculations are taken as something usual, while negative can really make the price drop, especially if they are spread through media. That is obvious, as scepticism is contagious. That's why it is the obligatory rule of every trader not to read chatbox on exchanges while day-trading.

[DeadCoin]

I would say yes they do affect a lot. Good and bad news in crypto market plays a vital role in marketing. This falls on the number is inventors come in and go. Onviously when the good news come is when the price goes high and investors come in to sell to see genuine profits.  This makes to circulate the coin more and gain more values.  Like wise when the value is low and medias spread news affecting price growth,  investors do hesitate to buy coins still and wait to get more investigation before investing in. So speculation and fluctuations play vital roles 8n price growth.

[komrobert]

I think yes. No, I'm totally sure about it! People who speculate and those bots who always changing their orders to smaller, hate it.

[KennyR]

Cryptocurrency network is entirely speculative, because if you go through the growth chart along with the reason for the price bump and dump it can be understood easily. The negative form of speculation moves it in the negative manner while positive speculation help with the growth.

[Jorosss]

I think yes. No, I'm totally sure about it! People who speculate and those bots who always changing their orders to smaller, hate it.

Actually people speculate affects bitcoin negatively because it is like fuds or spreading news to others. So better we don't listen to false news or speculation as it is not accurate. Price is unstable it become decrease and increase.

[KorakPawon]

because almost all bitcoin users are either investors or traders whose primary goal is to profit from the difference in Bitcoin price fluctuations, they are the fastest responding to a global issue, and these speculative actions are obviously a major adverse effect on Bitcoin volatility
