We all know that it always go like that. What caused bitcoin to be down I believe is not just the demand and supply theory. There must be a reason as to why the demand is less which cause it to be down, can be too much regulations, slow transactions and high transaction fees. I also believe that at the because holders are not letting go of their holdings, there is no traffic, no transactions, no uses, no demands, in short stagnancy can also be another factor.

The law of demand and suppyl, is basic and relate to all areas of life, one  of the factor that enhance the bull run is when the demand for BTC  increase, this ultimately increase price, reason why we must be commited to the community to ensure BTC  become accepted globally, especially for online exchange, this is the future. As this will help to stabise BTC price.

The demand and supply has been an essential part not of bitcoin and cryptocurrency, but the whole economy and for the last couple of years, we saw the demand on bitcoin rise and due to its limited supply its price rose quickly, this high demand brought new people and new investors who started getting into the mining to cover this demand, and as we can see now with the problems that the cryptocurrency market is facing the demand has gone down while the supply is still not changed and that is why i believe its price went down.

It aint just commodities but almost everything in this world.
Once the supply is low but people want it, the value of it grows.
Paintings, rare items from sunken ships and as technology grows it is now smartphones which are being valued and other computerized items.

That is how the world will go until the end of the days. Everything is for sale and once they want it more then I can make the price go even higher.

so far I only know that the fluctuations in the price of bitcoin are indeed only affected by demand and supply factors.
but this supply and demand can change rapidly due to other factors, such as negative news, crime of theft in the wallet or even on exchaners and so on

[biskitop]

of course, when buyers automatically increase the number of bitcoins increases and supply decreases, prices will rise. if the demands decrease, the price will also decrease. and in my opinion the factors that influence bitcoin are the function of bitcoin which cannot be used as a payment tool so that buyers are still hesitant, even for investment. that's what causes the decline in the price of bitcoin and the difficulty to rise.

Demand and supply is one variable that can make an impact on the price of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general. However, the blockchain ecosystem is a special one and it is differentiated from the ordinary commodities. There are some other variables that can move the price of Bitcoin up and down, such as the difficulty of mining, the volume of transactions etc.

The factors of demand and supply is a fundamental principle that is applicable to virtually everything that have price. However, these are just for basic understanding in other for the teachers not to confuse us at the time. As we go on in knowledge acquisition we then realize the more important one which is Elasticity which to a large extent gives explanation to certain areas that curiosities never stops.

For bitcoin, while it still respects the fundamental law of demand and supply but the forces that would drive that goes beyond those things we were thought in elementary school. For one reason, bitcoin was not envisaged when the text were written or re-written and for another reason that bitcoin is not confined to space and number of people that a model can be applied or envisaged the importance of whales or sharks as the case may be.

The answer lies on the Dogecoin price. LoL

But you might also consider market inefficiency as a part in the variables that affect price movement.

[livingfree]

Yes that's how the price of bitcoin being determined. The law of supply and demand has always been applied for it. But with some other things do affect bitcoin's price like manipulation but we don't have any lead on who's the cause of it.

You may want to compute the total circulating supply of bitcoin and it's total market cap currently. And you'll get the exact details on how much is the price of bitcoin has up to date.

[nur rochid]

indeed the price of bitcoin is fully influenced by the number of requests or offers. so this is what makes bitcoin vulnerable to whales that have large funds, there is no central bank here

[@prashant]

demand and supply is applicable to every commodity with price,crypto is not different here also coin price rise when supply get decreased or burned,in case of btc bcz of its low supply and high demand price increase but majority of btc is holded by few guys or group so they control the price ,even if demand is increasing and they are not ready to increase the price then btc will dump so its upto to them to control the market scenario.

in each trading place no matter that in futures trades or traditional trades , supply and demand give huge influence into price.for example when long holiday, the demand for hotels will rise alot and it will effected to hotels price.as long as there are supply and demand price will move with its volatility.

Definitely, but the good thing here is that the supply never grow because it's a fixed supply and with some coins that are lost
in circulation, it will make the supply lower and that will result to a better price as the adoption continues.

That's only a basic explanation but the process to adoption will certainly take time.

Every price is determined by the demand and supply PLUS production costs,transaction costs,government regulation,taxes and lots of other factors that might push supply and demand at sertain directions.

Its the fact,the prices were only determined by the demand and supply of bitcoin and it is also same for any crypto currencies or any products which is having prices in this planet.

Honestly it is embarassing that people didn't even know this basic level of knowledge.

[VladEx_Vova]

In fact, the price of Bitcoin entirely depends on demand and supply. That fact exactly makes bitcoin vulnerable to whales

Definitely, this is the underlying principle with which Bitcoin works in terms of its movement of price, either upward or downward. Supply and demand is more simple terms works like this, if a commodity has a limited or fixed supply yet it is highly in demand on the market, that commodity automatically becomes valuable because it is hard to come by. This principle applies to Bitcoin because it has a fixed supply of 21M and in an event where its demand increases (more investors joining), the value and price will definitely increase. This is why all crypto enthusiasts must continue to contribute their quota through awareness creation.

[dothebeats]

It is, IMO, among the primary reasons for bitcoin's price however these are not the only ones. You also have to factor the general sentiment of the people willing to trade, those who hold and the news circulating at any given time. Bitcoin is very much like stock markets, though bitcoin is somewhat special on its own accord, given that TA and other related indicators of measuring the price don't work for the said cryptocurrency.

Oh and by the way, rarity of something doesn't automatically make people drool over it, so there's that for supply and demand.
