Bitcoin Market Price Value
This section describes the market price value of Bitcoin.
Like any other currency, the price of a bitcoin is determined by supply and demand. When demand for bitcoins increases, the price increases, and when demand falls, the price falls. There is only a limited number of bitcoins in circulation and new bitcoins are created at a predictable and decreasing rate, which means that demand must follow this level of inflation to keep the price stable. Because Bitcoin is still a relatively small market compared to what it could be, it doesn't take significant amounts of money to move the market price up or down, and thus the price of a bitcoin is still very volatile.
Today, in May 2024, Bitcoin is valued about $465,000.00. Below is the history of Bitcoin price in US dollars:
