Hi folks,
As a newbie of this group, i would just to clarify things with regards to the factors or what are the reasons why bitcoin will increase or vice versa. How can I determine the value of the bitcoin? Is it the prices of cryptocurrencies are driven by the laws of supply and demandif more people want to buy, prices increase; if more people want to sell, prices decrease. Due to the nascency of and uncertainty surrounding cryptocurrencies (e.g., regarding regulation, technical challenges, enterprise adoption), supply and demand fluctuate wildly and hence, prices become volatile.
thank you for the enlightment!
Happy earnings!

Bitcoin price is driven by scarcity, utility, supply and demand. Bitcoin is scarce means its supply is limited. There are currently just over 16.2m Bitcoin in circulation and the maximum that will ever exist is capped at 21 million. This set cap is well known, making its scarcity transparent. However, to have value, Bitcoin must also be useful. Bitcoin creates utility in a number of ways ( very well known). Finally the fluctuation in price is determined by the market in which it trades: by means of supply and demand.
