The price went down a little even though all of us expected to see it grow at the beginning of the new year. But it is just a temporary situation and the price cant always go up becaude that wouldn't be good. It took a little to settle down and now I saw the price of all coins went up a little.
Last year in december we already saw what bitcoin is capablea of reaching over 20.000$. I think it is just a matter of time until that is going to happen again. The price is stable at 13.000$ and that is a good thing because it is a big difference since last year in January the price was very low. Bitcoin needs a break and it will continue to maintain his price for a little while.
