There have been many ups and downs in the value of Bitcoins and this scenario is likely to continue. Due to the extreme highs and lows BitCoins present a massive possibility for speculation. Just like trading in shares, trading in Bitcoins is massive and seeing the rise in traction around cryptocurrencies it is likely to grow further. Another reason accounting to this is the increasing cost of investing in the stock markets. A share in Apple or Facebook can cost around $150 while Bitcoins can be bought in fractions at a price as low as one-tenth of a cent. This makes it an easy target for speculative gains.
