The Bitcoin Foundation, the leading association for the digital currency of the same name lost one of their highest profile members last week when Andreas Antonopolous resigned over what he described as “a complete lack of transparency.” Antonopolous is a prolific speaker and author on the subject of bitcoin and serves as the Chief Security Officer for Blockchain, one of the largest companies in the bitcoin space.

World Bitcoin Network has just released a new Bitcoin Value Model. Let me begin by stating that this is a model, and no model can accurately state how much any currency is going to be worth at a point in the future. What the model can do, however, is show us how price is determined and the factors that determine it and the model can also allow us to factor in variables and view their effect.

The drop was likely linked to an announcement from the U.S. Marshals that it would begin auctioning off Bitcoins seized in the FBI's investigation of Silk Road, the defunct online drug marketplace.
