Thinking of Bitcoin replacement now? From the figures it presents as market cap, it appears like no other altcoin is so close to set a competition with Bitcoin. Aside this, Bitcoin is set to meet new developments which will enhance its Blockchain with speed and sufficient transaction capacity like what the Lighting Network intends to achieve.

The price of Bitcoin is determined by several factors which include the influence of news on the market and the readiness of users to buy and sell at certain high or low prices. Since these factors are not subjected to any regulations, the price of Bitcoin keeps fluctuating. Bitcoin can only be stable under regulations from authorities and once this happen, it ceases to be decentralized.

When a coin value decrease over time panic sells arise causing dumping . The Bitcoin price is no longer increasing. Am very optimistic that the price will increase when is the question of which no one can give a sure answer. Do you see this as a dumped?

I am not surprised to see Bitcoin fall during this time. A lot of factors have contributed to this decline in price and value of Bitcoin on the market.
To begin with, we are all aware that every crypto bull market is definitely followed by a correction phase - this is where investors begin to sell during the peak of the bull in order to make profits from their investments. With this, the market will see a dip in price and value. After the correction phase, the market is suppose to seemingly stabilize while the withdrawal and the deposit appears almost balance. This is the phase where investors and crypto users need to work hard in order to attract new investors into the seen in order to spike up the market again.
This year was different. The market remained dormant for so long with the withdrawal surpassing the deposit. As this continued, there was an obvious sell offs arising from panic because most investors anticipated for a bull market during the last Q4 of the year (which appeared not happening).

Irrespective of what happens to Bitcoin, it has helped most people like us (forum members) to broaden our scope of knowledge on the Blockchain technology and how it can be utilized by other projects to generate incredible solution to humanity through the enhancement of proper payment systems, security, trust and transparency.

Crypto investment is not entirely fixed to ICOs. There are valuable coins on the market that makes perfect portfolios for investment now. Large cap coins like Ethereum, Bitcoin, Ripple, EOS are good choices now because the prices are relatively low but have all the capabilities of recovering and hitting new high prices on the market.

The history of trading or exchanging is a very interesting one. Man decided to finally limit the burden of using items like cowries or some special stones to make payment because it was cumbersome - the reason for the paper money. Convenience is what every man seek and because of this, the Blockchain has been created to bring a more convenient and simple way of making payment both online and offline. Cryptocurrency will definitely hit the mainstream adoption some years to come.

One of the main reasons why the governments must accept cryptocurrency is that it has the capabilities of raising the status of the economy of a country through the creation of job opportunities and offering financial freedom to the people. With the immutable digital ledger feature of the Blockchain technology, corruption can be curbed because all transactions are recorded and cannot be altered.

One of the main focus of cryptocurrency is to enhance businesses to improve upon their payment systems. With the help of cryptocurrency, theft and corruption can be checked due to the smart contract which allows all transactions to be recorded and tracked anytime, anywhere. This technology allows businesses to raise funds from investors to support the vision of the project as investors also gain profit in the end when the projects fully actualize its goals.
