Kakashi2020 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 The price of Bitcoin is driven by market sentiments, news and changes relevant to bitcoin and other unconventional forces unlike money which is demand driven. This makes the price of Bitcoin harder to predict than regular currencies.

cks003 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 All prices are determined by demand and supply forces and this does not exclude exchange of Bitcoin. The only problem investors faced is the ambiguity or lack of information about the demand and supply. The market sentiments influenced by, such as comments by Warren Buffet, advent of Bitcoin future in Chicago trade exchange etc all impact the demand and supply of Bitcoin. But there are also many factors which happen at the global market place which are not directly apparent to the investors that are the main source of frustration. Investors may find the price surge and drop suddenly without a clear prior indications from the market place. Thus, unlike trading in local bourse, trading Bitcoin is akin to trading forex, the commodity is influenced by many factors and one may find it difficult to gauge the main factor.

anyone01 Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 There's no person who decide the price of a bitcoin. It is really works in accordance law of supply and demand in the market. The more people buy, the higher its price it moves and the greater people that sell, decrease its price it will be. Overall quantity of bitcoins are constant or growing progressively at a fix price despite the fact that its price is absolutely free for marketplace to determine.

I am in agreement with this statement, but demand and supply remain to be the biggest determinant.

I do agree with your comments that the biggest determinant of the value of Bitcoin and all other Cryptocurrencies is supply and demand. Bitcoins cap is only 21 million, which is very low compared to other cryptos.

The sudden surge and drop in price of any commodity happens when the commodity is owned by small number of people/organisations. The volatility is caused by too much concentration of market power in the handful of investors/speculators. That is why we hear so many comments that the price could be manipulated and the market is not 100 percent free.

That could be the case why Bitcoin's Price is at times volatile and even when it's bearish, the way it fluctuates is quite interesting and uncanny.
