Cryptocurrencies either have a limited or predetermined coin supply—although, with over 2,500 cryptos listed on hundreds of online exchanges, a number which is sure to increase over the coming years, it’s hard to generalise.
Once they have a key, they can obtain and spend cryptocurrency. Without the key, the holder can’t spend or convert their cryptocurrency — rendering their holdings worthless unless and until the key is recovered.
However, while there are some organisations that accept it as currency, others shy away due to Bitcoin’s dramatic price swings. Driven largely by speculation, the price per Bitcoin rose sharply from $1,151 in January 2017, to an all-time high of $19,783 in December the same year.* It then dropped to below $7,000 by February 2018 and rallied again to around $11,000 over a matter of days, before plunging once more to trade below $4,000.

How does cryptocurrency gain value? Like any market, the value of cryptocurrencies fluctuates based on the market’s perception of its value at any given time. These fluctuations may be rooted in some of the supply and demand factors mentioned above or can happen as a result of hidden market factors. Buy low, sell high – using the classic investment strategy, users can increase the value of crypto by buying and holding coins. The buying increases demand and hence crypto value increases.Mining – the act of mining Bitcoins or altcoins can be profitable. It also impacts the supply of cryptocurrencies.Increasing utility – as more institutions invest in crypto and accept it as a form of payment, its utility increases. As a user, you can contribute to this process. This will increase the value of cryptocurrencies over the long term. Media coverage – crypto prices fluctuate according to media coverage. Users can impact this through their social media accounts. Conclusion
