Abstract:

In this research work, we developed a predictive model for digital currency prices, involving daily closing price as a function of time. We used the Geometric Brownian motion stochastic differential equation which was solved using inbuild functions in Microsoft Excel. While we used the Bitcoin as our case study, our model was able to predict the daily closing prices of Bitcoin to a reasonable degree of accuracy. We equally observe that the time dependent Geometric Brownian motion stochastic differential equation cannot give digital currency traders and investors a clue on when to trade off their digital assets. Thus, it become very risky using our model to make well informed trading decisions. We therefore, recommend that for minimum risk, trades and investors in digital currencies should consider a combination of other signal tools to take more informed and less risky trading decisions.
