Data from Coinmarketcap.com shows a sharp decline in Bitcoin prices from $18,737.60 December 18th of last year to $6,252.44 on February 6th of this year. However, Bitcoin’s value had already increased to $9,959.84 as of February 16th at 21:00. Rather than a steady increase in Bitcoin’s price up to mid-December of last year, this reflects volatility of this leading cryptocurrency.

Cryptocurrencies are known to be very volatile and the prices are not stable. It is an unstable investment because you can not predict when the prices will fall or rise. But holding it for a long time helps one to make profit.
