A new scientific paper describing what drives Bitcoin price and what types of merchants want to adopt it is downloadable here: http://ssrn.com/abstract=2516754Abstract: This paper empirically examines Bitcoin – one of the latest innovations in electronic finance. By focusing on price formation we discover that Bitcoin returns are driven primarily by its popularity and the transactional needs of its users. We also conducted a survey of merchants who have adopted this technology and model the share of sales paid for with this alternative currency. Particularly, we look at how company-specific characteristics, use of other payment methods and customers’ knowledge about Bitcoin interact with the proportion of sales attributed. The results presented here allow us to better understand the economic ramifications of this innovation. |

Even if you use Bitcoin through Tor, the way transactions are handled by the network makes anonymity difficult to achieve. Do not expect your transactions to be anonymous unless you really know what you're doing.

Poor, poor academics. They were trying to correlate BTC price with a few variables like news mentions and Google searches when the only advice anyone needs is HODL.

Uhh, google searches? Price? Related? Just... Hmm, though the popularity of the bitcoin is really a great factor on its adoption, but the price? I don't understand. o.O Yeah, the ol' great HODL. ^_^ |

no, no, no, my friend the paper reflects the reality of CC world life, that perception is the greatest motivator of price. There is no honest coin that is magnitudes better than the next honest coin, perception makes for the bulk of the material difference. Perception is driven by popularity and popularity is driven by inside and outside marketing. The lack of BTC in the mainstream is what lacking to get the BTC price moving again. Need more investments from the BTC millionaires.
Scams, overall dishonesty, and wholesale fraud is what is keeping BTC from being $1000. The industry needs self-regulation, and lots of security. |

Plus banks wont let people run a business directly connected with making bitcoin transactions. Remember how the value dropped when US and China banks threatened to close accounts that where connected to bitcoin. |

current bitcoin exchange rates decreased significantly compared to a few months ago, this is because a lot of investors and owners of bitcoin bitcoin sell them in the market, so the supply of bitcoin market accumulate more and more, in accordance with the laws of the market that in the event of accumulation of goods in the market, there will be a decline in the price of the goods, this is what is now happening in bitcoin, hopefully this will be fleeting ...  |

Perls before you, swine: The value is decided by demand, which comes from the preference to hold, and supply, which comes from the urge to sell. You can not know, because it is in peoples heads. They want to hold for later because they foresee that they can easily trade them for useful things, and they want to hold because they envision what others want in the future. Yes, that is speculation, and with money there is nothing but speculation.

Indeed. The only way to try to get an idea of the price is to try to find out what is in people's heads, and what's in people's heads concerning what's in people's heads, and what's in people's heads concerning what's in people's heads concerning what's in people's heads. And so on. Tricky. On the other hand, it only matter those people's heads who have money to put on the table. It doesn't matter what's in people's heads who are not putting money on the table. |
