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.
Its price is now unstoppable and its very hard to control because bitcoin is very different currency than any other currency and Im sure with a passage of time its demand will go more high bitcoin is a currency which is not only good for countries but also its helping to people and now some people are donating bitcoin to poor countries which is also helping them so bitcoin is now very valuable and thats why its price is going high.
