The bitcoin dropped 20% in a day a week ago. It rose 10% yesterday. Do you think bitcoin price is volatile?

Bitcoin has not yet been properly established and is volatile to shocks.

Someone posted a picture of their portfolio and absolutely everything was red except Bitcoin and Bitcoin investment trust holdings, the rest was a massacre. I wish I didn't had Mike Hearn ruining the price so the difference would have been even bigger.
Actually found the pic:

Just like bitcoin most of those will bounce back to where they were before and then some. Just wait a few days/months and it will happen.

Hi, guys, newly registered to the forum, but have been follwoing it for a while. Considering that markets generally go down recently, is it possible that investors shift their interest to cryptocurrencies in general and specifically - Bitcoin, creating new buzz in developed countries?

It's only volatile if you're using it for speculative investment.
