Crypto’s new technology and the way countries adapt to this digital currency are the main causing factors that help the price of bitcoin to rise and fall sporadically. In 2017, for example, Bitcoin’s value rose sharply from $1,000 to $20,000 before plunging to $13,00 at the end of the year.

Government regulation may cause the price to fall drastically (like what happened in China and South Korea). However, in the future, it can calm down speculations.
