First and foremost since the bitcoin price tend to follow a quite snappy dynamic it is hard to really apprehend its real value. basically market cap is derived from the number of active user on the network multiplied by the bitcoin price. in the end bitcoin market cap always tend to be far above expert' expectation, but does it mean it is overvalued. it is understandable that bitcoin appears like it has availed from the hype it created throughout the internet communities, but i think that the hype is gone now since its creation and guess what bitcoin still follows the same pattern and cycle it used to, hinting that somehow it could benefit from this hype but is not driven by it alone.

Like any market, bitcoin price assess on supply and demand while buyer and seller determine the value. according to a recently read article on investopedia, expert follows the Metcalfe'law to determine the value of a network which suggest to square the number of network user, in that scheme expectation is far below the current market valuation, but where does bitcoin gain its real value?

in fact i think that bitcoin gain it value from itself and its features, this is a relatively unseen technology that suggest new ways to do things, basically it will benefits from continious boost that will allow it to follow a certain pattern and eventually this will stop being called hype.

The market is still very volatile now and until we really get to a stage where bitcoin becomes a stable coin before we can get the real value of bitcoin out, for now, the only value that I follow is the one that is being displayed on coinmarketcap, but I know that many people have told me that is not the real value.

Whatever the value is in the unseen world, the real one which has been reflecting in most of the transactions I have done on exchanges is the one that we see on coinmarketcap. Until the market become less volatile, that is when we will see the real value of BTC that we have been having at the back of our mind.

We cannot determined the real value of Bitcoin but we glad to see some price action (pump) this past few month bitcoin still a good one to hold like gold or even stronger to this one.
In the future some expert, analysis predicted that Bitcoin will become super uptrend or the price become higher and higher but right now we cannot know the real value of Bitcoin.
