that is because people are selling and buying every minute. also miners mine new bitcoin and mostly sell it on the market. so the selling will reduce the price
miners sell... and no demand currently because of other for example christmas expenses in 2015 price will go up Well, November and December of last year were great months for Bitcoin and the price went up to a new order of magnitude, so I think it's wrong to blame the current low price simply because of "christmas expenses".

There could be several reasons why the price dropped since yesterday, could be because of the festive season approaching and people are selling their bitcoins to do their festive shopping. When few notice the price drop a lot, this creates a whiplash effect causing more people to panic sell. The price of Bitcoin has reached below the support. There will be a point at which the price becomes quite low and people will tend to mass buy and the price might stabilize and again get better.
So far the price has risen from today mornings price of $304 to $315

Of course, it is not the fault of Christmas. Certainly there are many reasons. I think it may also have the effect of oil price. Traders may now prefer to buy oil, because they hope that next year the price will jump .. Why not? ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I bet on "Russians".
There's a virus called "Cryptolocker" which is Russian made.
They're selling "unlocker software via bitcoin". I guess there're lots of people who caught this virus...

80% people buy bitcoin to make money, 10% buy it for reasons they can't explain even to themselves, the rest 10% are learning, shopping, preaching, etc. which one are you ?

I like when the price drops as well because it makes it easier to buy in. Even though at the moment I wouldn't care anymore about its price as well since I'm trading it in altcoins, so the value of btc/usd is irrelevant. But if (WHEN) it goes up 500USD+, I'll turn it into cash again.

Imagine that; "virus + spam" can reach millions of people. (let's say 2 million people got it) Only 0.1% of it believed this spam and run it and got virus. So there's 2000 infected pc's. If they're connected a local network; virus will spread. Let's say; total 5000 pc's got virus. If these people are dumb enogh to got it; They can't clean it. So at least 50% of them have to buy the unlocker... 2500 people just pays 1 btc to buy it. That's nearly 1 million USD. It's quite enough to crash the market. Just a reminder; these russian guys are smart enough so they're working regional. For instance; There're ~35 million ADSL user. And most of them are using TTNet. Those guys used a phishing page to infect pc's. TTNet published a post about it to warn customers. (In Turkish); http://www.ttnet.com.tr/bireysel/Hakkinda/duyurular/Sayfalar/TTNET-E-Fatura-E-Mail-Bilgilendirmesi.aspxTurkey's biggest btc market published a post about this virus recently (In Turkish); http://blog.btcturk.com/?p=2051 http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/cryptolocker-criminals-earn-30-million-100-days-1429607

But if (WHEN) it goes up 500USD+, I'll turn it into cash again. Even when trading altcoins, I find that the btc/usd market is still relevant, since most altcoins stay relatively fixed to Bitcoin's price. i.e. if Bitcoin jumps to 400$ tomorrow, Doge will probably remain near 60 sat, so it will be a net gain.

I guess you've missed the case. This virus doesn't steal any BTC directly from wallet. It's using the virus to sell unlocker via BTC. Check this link; http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/cryptolocker-criminals-earn-30-million-100-days-1429607This was 1 year ago. This virus got popular last a few months. And they made big score again...
