Definitely BTC will be more volatile in 2018 as more people are jumping in it on other hand govt also planning to regulate it one way or another.

I think not. Everyday it seems like we are getting closer to mass acceptance and less volatility.

I don't think it will experience more volatility in 2018 because as more money and market cap go into Bitcoin the volatility decreases. If we think the year will end at 50-60k bitcoin then by years end the volatility too will be less it simply has to be.

I expect so, knowing that new money has poured into bitcoin and more and more people are being lured into the gates of this cryptocurrency. Also, the general population of the traders nowadays seemed to have learned that they can maximize their profits by switching into different alts whenever it is down or up. With the number of traders increasing who switch their coins back and forth, the crypto world and not only bitcoin would be more volatile than ever.

Number of traders are up that is why some exchanges stop accepting new users because of the surge of volume. Anyway, bitcoin will still be more volatile this year because it was only on the last quarter of 2017 when more money flow in causing a surge in prices both in bitcoin and altcoins thus a rapid increase in market capitalization. Some countries are implementing some regulations so for those who are conservative who will always say that they will not be involve with cryptocurrencies because it is not regulated would invest into it.

In 2017, Bitcoin recorded the most unprecedented gains, making it the most sought after cryptocurrency in the market. As a result, most people are buying Bitcoin for speculative purposes with the hope of cashing on price increases.

 
Having risen to a high of nearly $20,000 in mid December, Bitcoin experienced high volatility towards the end of 2017, raising the question of whether its price could plunge to below $10,000. But as HOQU's Co-Founder and CEO, Alex Shmonov notes, high volatility is nothing new to Bitcoin.

 
"The price of Bitcoin has always been very volatile even on fake news as many people buy this asset for the sake of speculation and profit. The reality is that the entire crypto market can flop by 90% and this will be normal. We saw this with Bitcoin before. But after some time and after the dust has settled, prices will return to new heights, because progress will go further and people will understand that the problems that caused the drop are resolved or almost solved," he says.
 

Even so, certain factors fuel the volatility of Bitcoin, and one such factor is government statements on cryptocurrency regulation. On Thursday 28th of December, 2017, Bitcoin prices plunged by the double digits following the announcement of fresh regulations in the world's third largest cryptocurrency market, South Korea. Going by the trend set by this southern peninsula, there’s no doubt that more price swings in the cryptocurrency market will follow.

 
"The volatility in the price action mirrors the uncertainty in world regulation. Each positive statement from a country or exchange sees a boost in the Bitcoin price, and each proposed clampdown produces a price drop. Changes in regulation is the key price driver for Bitcoin and that won’t change in 2018. I think price volatility will increase this year, this will not be a time for the faint hearted. Reduce your exposure to price volatility by diversifying a little of your portfolio - now," says Linda Leaney, CFO at Globcoin.
 

According to Marcus Vandea, CEO of Playfold, Bitcoin has a highly volatile nature. But even with its price swings, it’ll be hard for its value to drop below the $10,000 mark.

 
"High volatility will always be an intrinsic part of Bitcoin, with 30% shifts that always happened but are now more noticeable because of its high value. It’s difficult to believe that Bitcoin will plunge below $10000, as it is now more popular and desired than ever. But extreme value swings will keep happening and will keep discouraging the light hearted investors," he says.

 
Bitcoin braved the turbulence in 2017, increasing its value from $1000 in January to reach a high of $19,700 in early December, before closing the year at about $14,000.

I agree with the part of high volatility is the intrinsic value of Bitcoin, couldn't agree more. Bitcoin is used as an investment ride these days, people are using Bitcoin price volatility to gain profit or loss  ;D. As long as Bitcoin is volatile, more and more people are going to know Bitcoin.

I do not think that in 2018 the bitcoin's volatility will be high and its price will skyrocket. Now many investors are investing large sums in promising altcoins.

I think so too. Despite optimistic forecasts of bitcoin growth, there will not be such rapid growth as this year. It will basically be held at one level.

I agree with the part of high volatility is the intrinsic value of Bitcoin, couldn't agree more. Bitcoin is used as an investment ride these days, people are using Bitcoin price volatility to gain profit or loss  ;D. As long as Bitcoin is volatile, more and more people are going to know Bitcoin.

There is no doubt that 2018 will be interesting year and that price of BTC will not have a lot of ups and downs,it is actually one of the features BTC have over the years.Since BTC is decentralized digital currency we should not expect volatility may be something that will disappear in the future,it is very possible that it will become even bigger.

Some say that it will be hard to manipulate the market due high market cap,but I think that people who have lot of BTC increase their supply with time and also start to work together to move market in the desired direction.At the end of the day for most people involved in cryptocurrency the only thing that matters is profit.

We will experience it because that is the normal thing about bitcoin and other altcoins. You got to be more specific. In 2017, bitcoin is from $3k to $20k then $7k and things like that will always occur.

Bitcoin will always be volatile, it's an aspect that gives Bitcoin its identity. It's been a week since 2018 started and as we can see, Bitcoin rates hasn't been stable in a sense that its rate varies from time to time.It will be high at a certain time then it will have a steep decline at another minute. The reason for this is unknown or there might not be any reason for it at all but this just goes to show that the volatility of Bitcoin can be extreme at times. This is expected and we should just put its volatility into good use for our benefits.

To anticipate whether bitcoin would experience more or less price fluctuations is just as hard as predicting whether bitcoin would increase or decrease in value tomorrow. It's just so difficult to lredict such occurences. But we could at least anticipate it by studying the market, and understanding bitcoin's nature.

In the year 2017 now the bitcoin will be also volatile for this year as well it is good to have bitcoin in the present time and bitcoin experience more price volatility is expected in this year because many other currencies are also in the market and if the bad news arises in the market then bitcoin price is affected by this but the future is good i am investing now in the bitcoin.

I really don't understand why people even think that it will stay stable it's.. not gonna ! At all ! For sure ... Bitcoins is too much volatile to predict it's gonna reach high and low and that's the norm ....one cannot control all the big whales .. from... Encashing or... Buying more ..there is nothing that can be done...
Thus we cannot... Control the money out and inflow and that way it is gonna Stay volatile.!

If big events are going to happen before this year ends that may propel or trigger a bull run, then we will expect a huge rise of bitcoin's market capitalization that will push its market price more than what we have witnessed last year.

In 2017, Bitcoin is developing better and more supporters of Bitcoin; I think that in 2018 Bitcoin will achieve the most milestone, Nowadays many people want to be rich quick so they choose Bitcoin as a currency so that investors can make success as soon as possible.

so it means, more investor will come to bitcoin and this will increase the volume and the price also and finally bitcoin will reach the highest price again. and yes, it is because, in the December 2017 ago, people see that bitcoin price can increase in a short time and they cannot believe that it's happening. so now, while the price is at the low price, they can buy as much bitcoin as they can to be ready if the price is getting up soon.

I believe that could happen. Because the bitcoin market is booming. There are many people who want to invest in to benefit from bitcoin. That will make bitcoin prices fluctuate continuously. I hope 2018 is the year of the bitcoin market.

I agree with the part of high volatility is the intrinsic value of Bitcoin, couldn't agree more. Bitcoin is used as an investment ride these days, people are using Bitcoin price volatility to gain profit or loss  ;D. As long as Bitcoin is volatile, more and more people are going to know Bitcoin.

Bitcoin may not going to be as volatile as it is in2017 but I am very sure we will still have a good year in 2018. More good news are coming out and we should rejoice that Samsung want to make used of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology. Bitcoin is going to go above the December high soonest.

I very much want to hope for an increase in bitcoin volatility this year, but only in the direction of its growth, and then the fall already exhausted all nerves.

I do not see any reason for the volatility of bitcoin to go down, if anything there is a chance the volatility will go up there are many governments that are passing laws against cryptocurrencies that may be negative and that could scare investors which will make them sell their coins.

Its volatility is part of its being successful and popular. It has its advantages and disadvantages, and it depends what it means to be volatile. It could be an increase or decrease its value. When trading, if it's low, it's an opportunity to buy coin, and when it's high it the best way to sell it. More people will get to know and be interested to join and get involved due to this trend. Being volatile does not always mean detrimental.

Too much volatility is also not good for bitcoin growth because new investors afraid to invest their hard earn money because of the fear of losing. I think that volatility will be there in 2018 because after 4 months there is a huge volatility in the price and it will continue. Volatility is not bad but it should be for the growth in the price and not for fall in the price.

BTC has received too much attention and is easily influenced by the outside world.

Because of a lot of false news, the investor's mind was disturbed and the wrong operation BTC was made.

The price that causes BTC has great fluctuation!

It is going to encounter that unpredictability without a doubt since it's soley made and brought by individuals based on instability.. The sole premise of a digital currency is unpredictability accordingly I don't figure it will ever be steady for over seven days. Likewise individuals are expecting the cost of bitcoins to rise again to a plunge esteem however on the other hand forecasts don't work in this unstable bitcoins case.
Some are stating after the duty day it will rise . how about we perceive how that goes .

Bitcoin braved the turbulence in 2017, increasing its value from $1000 in January to reach a high of $19,700 in early December, before closing the year at about $14,000.

In 2017, Bitcoin recorded the most unprecedented gains, making it the most sought after cryptocurrency in the market. As a result, most people are buying Bitcoin for speculative purposes with the hope of cashing on price increases.

 
Having risen to a high of nearly $20,000 in mid December, Bitcoin experienced high volatility towards the end of 2017, raising the question of whether its price could plunge to below $10,000. But as HOQU's Co-Founder and CEO, Alex Shmonov notes, high volatility is nothing new to Bitcoin.

 
"The price of Bitcoin has always been very volatile even on fake news as many people buy this asset for the sake of speculation and profit. The reality is that the entire crypto market can flop by 90% and this will be normal. We saw this with Bitcoin before. But after some time and after the dust has settled, prices will return to new heights, because progress will go further and people will understand that the problems that caused the drop are resolved or almost solved," he says.
 

Even so, certain factors fuel the volatility of Bitcoin, and one such factor is government statements on cryptocurrency regulation. On Thursday 28th of December, 2017, Bitcoin prices plunged by the double digits following the announcement of fresh regulations in the world's third largest cryptocurrency market, South Korea. Going by the trend set by this southern peninsula, there’s no doubt that more price swings in the cryptocurrency market will follow.

 
"The volatility in the price action mirrors the uncertainty in world regulation. Each positive statement from a country or exchange sees a boost in the Bitcoin price, and each proposed clampdown produces a price drop. Changes in regulation is the key price driver for Bitcoin and that won’t change in 2018. I think price volatility will increase this year, this will not be a time for the faint hearted. Reduce your exposure to price volatility by diversifying a little of your portfolio - now," says Linda Leaney, CFO at Globcoin.
 

According to Marcus Vandea, CEO of Playfold, Bitcoin has a highly volatile nature. But even with its price swings, it’ll be hard for its value to drop below the $10,000 mark.

 
"High volatility will always be an intrinsic part of Bitcoin, with 30% shifts that always happened but are now more noticeable because of its high value. It’s difficult to believe that Bitcoin will plunge below $10000, as it is now more popular and desired than ever. But extreme value swings will keep happening and will keep discouraging the light hearted investors," he says.

Bitcoin prices in 2018 have been marked by the volatility that has made bitcoin price forecasts in the short term a bit of a challenge, even for experienced analysts. So, if you are thinking of investing in cryptocurrency, it is important for you to understand that volatility persists here. You need to understand that if you invest in an increased assessment, you run the risk of suffering losses in a shorter period of time. However, if you are thinking of holding Bitcoin for a longer period of time, you will have no problems at all.

In crypto currency world we should always assume volatility because of past movement of prices but it just from the begining but now it seems that it start to stabilized or when it moves it will just pump up.

I think the worst is over. That insane dip was truly scary and i though I'd have to say goodbye to ny investments. But then again, as the market recovers now. I think the price will continue to rise with a few minor dips here and there. Unless another government will ban BTC and there wil be a surge of supply again i the market. But I'm confident that it will still recover and get stronger even from that.

Volatility is not bad, it only means that wiser people will get a huge advantage on trading because some of them are just hoping for price drops in order to earn a huge amount of profit and that is what the nature of trading does in the market.

Volatility is actually one of the main reasons why the whole idea of trading bitcoin exists in the first place. Traders love some huge level of volatility as that is how they benefit a lot from the market anyway.

No one can actually know if we will end up experiencing more volatility in this year, but obviously, the market has been pretty volatile over the years, so I do not see what is more, or what is less compared to what we have been having. Volatility is volatility and I expect that we are still in that phase and going to be there for a while.

Yes I believe that bitcoin will experience more price volatility in 2018, we can not say no because the market is experiencing the volatility of price value so this be happenning to bitcoin too. bitcoin will experience a negative and positive volatility in the price value in the coin market index.

I think that Bitcoin should become more or less stable. For example, it is stable for half a year and then starts growing gradually. I think that in 2018 we will see some change for the better and have good trading chances

I think the bitcoin should be between $ 10,000 and $ 20,000. What's more, what's less. to believe in great dreams. most people will hurt you.

I agree with the part of high volatility is the intrinsic value of Bitcoin, couldn't agree more. Bitcoin is used as an investment ride these days, people are using Bitcoin price volatility to gain profit or loss  ;D. As long as Bitcoin is volatile, more and more people are going to know Bitcoin.

I think we will experience price volatility all the way up to the hundreds of thousands. Its the first new emerging asset arguably since the gold rush and golds price was unbelievable volatile for a good few decades!
 

Yes I believe that bitcoin will experience more price volatility in 2018, we can not say no because the market is experiencing the volatility of price value so this be happenning to bitcoin too. bitcoin will experience a negative and positive volatility in the price value in the coin market index.

Volatility is not bad, it only means that wiser people will get a huge advantage on trading because some of them are just hoping for price drops in order to earn a huge amount of profit and that is what the nature of trading does in the market.

Volatility is not bad in itself but the reason of why many people don't like it is because they are not able to take advantage of it, when they do try to take advantage of it they lose their money, while traders in the other hand love volatility because that allows to them to earn a lot of money very quickly.

To anticipate whether bitcoin would experience more or less price fluctuations is just as hard as predicting whether bitcoin would increase or decrease in value tomorrow. It's just so difficult to lredict such occurences. But we could at least anticipate it by studying the market, and understanding bitcoin's nature.

Right.Volatility is the only hope especially for the traders since it will give them a huge amount of profit when the price hits a high amount.I think there will be more volatility this year since a lot of fuds and negative media pressures are still coming.But we should not be panic since volatility does not brings us down,it only gives us opportunity to get rich quickly.

I think bitcoin always fluctuate as the real estate market prices up and down at a slight fluctuations, and as if to create a real potential market for investors, you should not worry. Because this is the opposite we should be glad it worked

Volatility is a common thing in almost every investment assets and with Bitcoins it’s mostly due to the FUD and ban rumors that’s been circulating around on social media and from the media as well. If the investors don’t listen to to FUD and keep holding we are going to have less and less of price volatility.

I guess yes. The volatility of bitcoin price is normal. This is what makes bitcoin so special and unique. It has an advantage and disadvatage to both traders and investors. When the bitcoin price collapse more traders grab that opportunity to buy more and hold. Its only a matter of being smart and strategic person in this event to become more successful at the end of the day.

I think the worst is over. That insane dip was truly scary and i though I'd have to say goodbye to ny investments. But then again, as the market recovers now. I think the price will continue to rise with a few minor dips here and there. Unless another government will ban BTC and there wil be a surge of supply again i the market. But I'm confident that it will still recover and get stronger even from that.

Yes you are right, cryptocurrency volatility is the reason why there are a lot of traders who are interested on trading in the market so there is no way that bitcoin will lose its investors since people are keep on joining this bitcoin community.

Across the globe, a lot of people are investing in the Bitcoin business.

Some traders even managed to make their profit on the volatility of the coin this year. They bought Bitcoins for 6 thousand and sold them when BTC was close to 10K.

Volatility is a common thing in almost every investment assets and with Bitcoins it’s mostly due to the FUD and ban rumors that’s been circulating around on social media and from the media as well. If the investors don’t listen to to FUD and keep holding we are going to have less and less of price volatility.

Different people are speculating in different ways, but I think that if we want a healthy future for Bitcoins,it should remain stable at some point for some time, maybe 6 months and grow with stability. Because going higher too quick will only make others call it a bubble and we don't want such a great technology to get criticized for that part. I think it'll remain conscious between $15-25k and stabilize near last year's ATH - 20k.

In 2018, the price fluctuation of Bitcoin is huge. It is not the same as Bitcoin's fluctuation in 2017. In the year 2017, Bitcoin fluctuates mainly as Bitcoin's value increases and peaked at the end of 2017. But the fluctuation of Bitcoin in 2018 other. Bitcoin constantly increases and decreases value in a short time without following any rule. Even the experts' predictions are inaccurate about the peak of Bitcoin. In general, this year, Bitcoin is really volatile.

We are now on 2nd quarter of the year 2018, even from the first quarter of the year, we’ve been struggling with the price volatility and until now market price continiously fluctuates. Maybe the year 2018 will be experiencing more dip before it will recover and go up again. We just have to be patient because in the right time it will be stable again.

I agree, we can say that in this year, 2018, is the year where we can feel the volatility of bitcoin. I agree that even experts opinion and predictions about the price range are inaccurate. It's really risky to trade and invest because the drop of price is too sudden, that's why the demand decreases. People are uncertain and afraid to lose a lot of money.

Thinking about this for several times when I read this,  I really can not get the point why you are wishing of a temporary stability of bitcoin price. I we let such thing happen, what will happen to the next months to come? Remember, volatility is an asset of of bitcoin. It is like a reverse psychology.
