Bitcoin Forum

I wanted to see what the general thoughts of the community here are. With bitcoin being in a pretty steady state for the past few weeks, it seems like there's going to be a set up for some kind of growth. With that, there can be many paths, but after seeing today's price (which was up around 5% when I checked), I was wondering if the volatility is what people actually like about bitcoin.

So, do you guys like the volatility and the strong spikes upwards or would you rather like steady growth, around 5% gains over time?

I think that most people would prefer a steady growth, like the one that we're seeing now when the price slowly recovers after a correction. This won't continue though. Once the steady growth continues for a while people will start seeing that whoever bought a week or a month ago made money and they will start rushing in like a herd of sheep. You could see this situation happen in 2017 when it broke $1000 and started to gain momentum to finally end up with gains of $1000 per day.

Steady growth would attract long-term investors, while volatility would attract the traders. It is tough to have steady (and high) growth in any asset class. If there was a low volatility asset, the expected growth rate would be equal to the risk free rate of return (which isn't much!). So steady (and reasonably high) growth while desirable might not be possible.

if price increases is benefit because I can buy many things I want for my little project without me using many bitcoins, if the price increases little and becomes stable does not make me easy to trade, in fact it becomes very annoying because you stay days waiting for a big drop to buy and there is no such drop for you to buy and sell when you have a big increase, so if you have a big increase and a big fall is a good advantage as long as the person knows how to take advantage of that advantage. Then I choose " strong spikes upwards  "

When I was more into trading, the wild fluctuations were good because it created more buying and selling opportunities.

Now I’m mostly just holding so I prefer a steady rise in price with little volatility. In reality, it really doesn’t matter for holders as long as the net result is a good gain. Still it’s less nerve racking to see steady growth.

The volatility and strong upward spikes will the traders as they will be able to make profit within hours but this has a disadvantage. As with previous instances we could relate to, we'll realize that after major spikes in the price of bitcoin, there is usually a downfall following in the price.

Steady growth on the other hand favors the long term investors. People who hold their bitcoins over a long period of time make profit this way.

However,  I still believe that steady growth is the best even for all bitcoiners.

The impression I get is: spikes are mainly caused by positive news headlines, arbitrage trading equalizing high and low prices across exchanges or whales buying millions of dollars of bitcoin.

Steady growth might be moreso an indication of gradual price appreciation.

I don't have a preference between one or the other. The overall chart based momentum in an upward or downward direction may be a better indicator as well as the proportion of exchange trading defined by the ratio of buy orders versus sell orders.

As long as the price continues moving upward, it doesn't matter to me what form it takes. Beggars can't be choosers.

yes steady growth, keep stable, make people confident to buy and invest in bitcoin. also good for their economic, as we know bitcoin and is second option to transaction around the world, no limit, no need more document and not waste your time.

As the old saying goes "slow and steady wins the race" couldn't be more true here. We don't need to race to 100k but rather have a slow climb up to 100k and I believe we all want that. However, the volatility is what allows the sharks and whales to make more money so you can't have it both ways.

Steady growth will be a lot better because this way the price will be more stable, more businesses will accept bitcoin as a payme method and more people are going to invest in it. I dont like the big volatility because you never know when the price is going to crash and how much is it going to drop. Yes, with a big volatility the price could skyrocket in just a few days and double so the profit would be huge but the same thing could happen when there is a crash. Personally I think it is better for the price to move slowly up and down with no more than 10% per day.

For the holders of the massive amounts of the Bitcoin particles the steady growth is the goal for them, but for the most of the investors, the volatility and the falls are the opportunity to get on the "Bitcoin train". Falls are the best opportunity for the investors to buy more Bitcoin particles and to join the holder community of searchers for the higher price. Bitcoin will for sure rise up but the past event have shown us that the steady growth isn't possible with the Bitcoin right now and the truth is that many more falls will happen before the steady growth. The smart ones will seize that opportunity and "catch the train" while they still can!

A new investor with lack in knowledge and appreciation on blockchain technology want a must faster price hike with a shallow support because they care only for profit, but the experience one or the believers in the technology wanted a steady growth and not focus in price, but the adaptation, acceptance and upgrading it for public consumption. We can even tell whom they are.

In fact, since the beginning of bitcoin, it has been alive in controversy. It was not known to the public until last year, and it has also warmed the block chain to form the hottest vents.

Many investors are betting on the future of bitcoin.

But there are plenty of people who believe that bitcoin is a bubble that will burst sooner or later. There is no value at all. Especially with warren buffett.

Bitcoin, in its ongoing controversy, has been recognized by investors.

Whether bitcoin is stable or strong, it is good to be accepted by the public.

I would like a steady growth because it would attract more people to invest into it since a strong upward movement means a strong downward movement like what happen in December up to February. We have seen an unbelievable upward movement of bitcoin that it makes me afraid how much it will go down. When the buyer exhaustion started, others would observe the slow growth then and started taking profits causing a volatility of $1,000 in just a minute creating a crash that's why I don't prefer the rapid movements.

If bitcoin has a steady growth, there would be a regular profit taking so price wouldn't be volatile like what is happening to bitcoin nowadays. It would be an advantage to people who would like to implement bitcoin as payment system because price wouldn't differ that much so in the future maybe more business would like to adopt it as well.

I prefer steady growth, steady growth means there are real investors that put the money and really used it for transaction, not some whale try to manipulate the price, and steady growth will attract more people to invest, volatility is good, but too much movement can make people consider to put their money into bitcoin

I would like steady growth rather than volatility and strong spikes, as steady growth indicates that bitcoin is developing and isn't manipulated by whales or by some group of elites anymore. Also, steady growth promotes confidence on investors and also the adoption rate increases at this time periods as btc shows resilience. I would not want a sudden upward trend since bitcoin tends to go down a lot after those spikes and in the end, it's health suffers.

I would prefer a steady growth without much jolting so that people earn and get profit on a regular basis rather than the spikes wherein there is equal possibilities of downfall aswell.
When the graph will be steady, it would also comparatively reduce the risk of loss and downfall which is more likely in case of spikes and sudden rise which certainly at some point will lead to sudden dip aswell.

Dark's pediction was correct reading some of the replies above most users wants to see that steady growth on Bitcoin the reason for this is because of what happened between last December to January. My opinion on what I want to see doesn't matter though because both scenarios can't be avoided whether we like it or not we just have to be prepared for what is coming in the future.

Steady growth would be great but the way it is working right now seems to me very reasonable and I think steady growth would take all the fun out of it. So there is one strong reason for bitcoin to stay volatile and that is profit taking, lots of them when the bitcoin is fluctuating lot. If goes really steady then we may not be able to do the swing trades over BTC holdings. What we will have to do is wait for very long time to get our share of profits. That could take ages and thats why I like the volatility of bitcoin which at least gives us freedom to grab in between profits.

strong upward spikes indicate that btc is a bubble to lure people into investing then a huge selling , but for a healthy chart you should see steady increase in price .

Most of the people are scared with bitcoins because of volatile prices. But we forget that this volatility can also be towards the positive side. In fact, if we analyze the past trends we will see mainly upward movement. Because of this volatility only, we had been able to see prices jump from $8000-$18000 in two months.

However, if you will ask my opinion, I would like to see it growing steadily. This is required if we want it ti survive forever. Otherwise people will only see it as money making instrument without any real life value.

Personally, I prefer a steady growth because it means that bitcoin is getting stable. I can be more confident that I will not lose all my money overnight. I can depend more on bitcoin. Although having strong spikes could be exciting at times, maybe it's just that I am not a risk taker most of the time.

I prefer steady growth because with that I feel more secured in the market. I think a steady growth is backed up with a strong market than a price that is very volatile and has ghe tendency to fall that no one knows when and no one is prepared for.

In my opinion, steady growth would be much better. Strong spikes showed us that Bitcoin is not prepared for huge amount of transaction. As far as I remember, it all started somewhere around SegWit activation in August 2017. Bitcoin price stabilized recently and even fees went down to 1 sat/b, they weren't that cheap for years. What will happen after next price spike? Both Bitcoin Core 0.16.0 and Electrum have SegWit support which might help a little. We still have to wait for Lightning Network developers to make it more stable. Also, it seems that huge spikes attract more investors, quite dangerous when you think more about it.

I also prefer steady growth to strong upward movement of the price this will give room for proper and thorough price analysis as a technical trader, it will be very difficult to analysis the price with a strong volatility and this will amount to losses in my trades.

I would prefer steady growth because it means bitcoin is stable and I know most of us want to see that happen. And if that happen many investors would invest long term and we will not be afraid that we might loss overnight but rather gain more profit. And also steady growth of btc might be the way for businesses to accept it as mode of payment for every transaction.

Yes, I myself prefer a stable price at a drastically inflated price. On the other hand a rapidly rising and falling price can provide great advantages and disadvantages, but do not worry bitcoin is designed to fluctuate from time to time. Prepare your mental for all that.

This depends on the purposes for which the user holds the coins. All traders consider volatility to be a positive quality of bitcoin. Users who use the strategy of bitcoin Deposit retention rejoice at the constant rise in prices. To each his own. But the attraction of bitcoin is that everyone can benefit from the use of bitcoins.

I am very preserved about my investment into the bitcoin and I am always hoping the bitcoin should go only in upward direction and that too slow and steadily. I dont want to see bitcoin making huge spikes in the CMC graph and just want it to go upwards without that dirt. But the thing is its not gonna happen at any time as the market is dependent upon many things which are uncontrolled and will always interfere the bitcoin market or price itself. If it stated going Iowa's steadily then that would be drawback as well because with steady growth the prices will keep rising and after few years we might not see new investors taking interest into the crypto as the prices would be intolerable to invest. Thats what I think about it.

Some people are infavor with its volatility because they are able to buy during the dips and to sell during the pumps which results to huge profit. But also, there are some who prefers a not-so-big-assured profit. Well for me, I'd vote for steady with 5% increase because that is less risky and I am the type of investor who holds for years so that is suitable for me.

I don't really mind the fluctuations and spikes to be honest, especially because I am a trader as well. If I would say I prefer a steady longer term increase over spikes and fluctuations, I would be a hypocrite. I like each and every aspect of this market, and to be honest, we have already been experiencing a steady level of growth. If purely focus on all the bottoms as being the actual price of Bitcoin, and thus ignore the peaks and whatnot, you'll see how much of a steady increase we have been experiencing. Based on that, even though the current levels are hovering over $11,000 right now, the actual price is still in the $6500-$7000 range, where from this point time will tell what the next bottom will be, and that next bottom will turn out to be the next actual all time high. In other words, Bitcoin's all time high wasn't nearly $20,000 last year, but slightly below $6000 last month.

If it would suddenly increase, tgere will be few people who would be happy. They might be intantly one the rich one. But surely its demand would suddenly increase. More people will catch their interest on how it works and how to invest on it. On the other hand, if it would increase slowly, more people will have the chance to get larger volume of coin. But its demand will nit be as much as the first situation.

For me its nature for bitcoin to be volatile so for every bitcoiners theres nothing new to us.We are getting used on bitcoins price to rise up and fall..most people tend to experience votality so that they can have the chance to invest as price goes dip but i think its been a week that its price is stable so i can see that its also better to remain steady so that most  holders would calm down for a while.I can see that as its price dumps holders will get panic,more speculations would come out and cause negative impact to everyones mindset and also affects on bitcoins price growth when they dumps.

Most of the people would vote for strong upward spikes as it results in returns like 40-50% in few days. However, I am not in favor of this. Most of the people forget that price will always go under correction. So after those upward spikes we will see prices going down. Just think of the people who are investing at those high levels, they will get burned really bad. Some of my friends invested recently when the bitcoin prices were like $17000 per bitcoin. Now the price is about $10000 and they are facing a lot of financial problems.

it all depends on each.
to be honest I'd rather see the price steady and go up slowly but surely. but, quite a few also want a spike.
in my opinion if the price jumps suddenly happen it is very profitable, but most likely also a sudden crash will happen as well.
a little bird told me about this sort of thing.

I prefer to choose the latter. Because I'm no good trader at all. I like to collect and save things, I also applied it in bitcoin. So I felt very bad when i bought bitcoin last december. I wanted bitcoin to grow slowly and smoothly.

For me the both rising types are fine, just don't forget to sell some if the prices moves really fast upwards.
It's a fun ride when it spikes and then tanks, but the heart probably likes more steady low increases :)

A steady and gradual growth is the best right now, that will easily invite investors into the market. Most people are afraid of things that just spoke up in value without any tangible application. But with steady growth, it will be very for long term hold and people will begin to appreciate the beauty of Bitcoin, rather than seeing it as a pump and dump that will one day crash.

Honestly, having steady growth is ideal. Meaning, it will only be achieved if the cryptocurrency is regulated, with that it has to be centralized.

Meaning, we'll always experience upward and downward spikes, depends on the time as we expect it.

Volatility is both an advantage and disadvantage. You might want to use it wisely.

Who are we exactly to determine the growth of bitcoin. Obviously for the better part of everybody, strong upward spikes are better and that's what we have seen in Bitcoin. Steady growth is for investments and companies that are centralized and are controlled by the SEC shit and all.

My same sentiments. I'm usually more worried about volatility when I have planned to take out some btc for something and then I see the prices going down. Otherwise, I'm just chill while others panic during plunges.

We might need the spikes though to attract people to get into btc and hopefully stay. I wonder how many of those that entered to take advantage of the ath last December decided to leave some btc rather than cash out all.

I prefer stable growth rather than volatility and strong spikes. Because this affects people's interest in bitcoin, because what everyone thinks first is a loss, so if the price is stable, people feel safe enough to invest and can minimize losses.

i like if bitcoin getting steady, because it benefit to buyer who doing transaction with bitcoin and there some store or company that not use bitcoin in transaction if the price not steady like steam store. so i prefer like if steady and of course if price stong upward is not good for my heart because it will going strong downward again  ;D

I feel volatility is the key aspect of this market. If I wanted a stable growth, I would have invested in Mutual Funds or Bank's Fixed Deposit Schemes, but it is the strong upward spikes that attract me towards this market.
This stands true for the others too. The people wouldn't have invested heavily in the market had it been stable. It is the spikes and ability to multiply your investments that are the key driving factors of this market.

Steady growth. I feel that this big pump that Bitcoin got all the way to $20,000 was a bad thing, because it created so much hype and fear of missing out that ended up with a lot of people losing a lot of money.

Most of those who were probably just new and bought last December have cashed out totally just to be able to recover their investment but for those who left some BTC are either probably regretting that they sold some or are now grateful because the price has gone up.

The sharp spikes may be attractive for others to get into btc however they may think that the price frequently goes up just as how it did last December and then would have some doubts once there is a steady drop. The spikes are good for the traders because they would be able to buy and sell within short periods of time.

I think bitcoin growth will invite many investors and bitcoin users to invest in bitcoin because later they will get a profit.

Yes, it will invite the investors to invest. That's very smart. Did it take you a lot of time to produce?  ;D


It also created a lot of free publicity. It showed the world the sky is the limit. That we can jump from $2000 to $20000 in just over a year, and it gave people a chance to make a lot of money in the process. A steady growth is better but this pump wasn't a bad thing.

I would like to see a steady growth in the price of bitcoin and i really like the range bound price range we are seeing now,because you can just buy when the market is down and sell when it reaches a resistance point and then again we would see a correction,how cool that kind of market would be  :D I would like to see a gradual growth in the price rather than spikes but i wont mind these spikes too.

I like the volatility of bitcoin. I trade stock all the time. The constant upward trend makes it impossible to trade on the stock exchange. I'm longing these days. I like the non-linearity of the graph. In this case, the General trend does not matter to me. Each spike has potential for income. Maybe I'm wrong but that's my position.

Long-term investors will definitely like Steady growth, but traders like volatility as it creates opportunities for them to earn huge profits. These Strong spikes are mostly created by pump and dump groups or due to some specific news. That is the golden time for Traders to earn huge profits.

People would always prefer on having a steady growth compared on strong spikes because it do somehow build confidence on my side on seeing price cant really be easily pumped and dump at the same time.Having steady growth does signifies a good path on increasing its value strong support and adoption.If we can see sudden pump then most of cases it can easily be dumped too.

I'd rather choose bitcoin to have steady growth instead of upward spikes because the latter usually follows a significant downfall which we as investors don't want to happen. On the other hand, if we see a steady growth it means that the coin is doing good and stable, and this scenarios cause the investors to worry less, a stress -free trading. It is a good example of being slowly BUT surely activity.

I would want it that way instead of spikes upward. Though it's intimidating something because of the profits, it is very scary.
I think some will be happy about the spokes, especially the greeady ones. But once that it falls, surely, there will be a lot of panic sellers.
If we will be having a steady growth just like today, I would feel that my investment is really safe and I have nothing to worry about.

actually I like high waves, but with last year's incident made me suffer a lot of losses because at that time the price reached 17000 $, I think it will continue to increase, and I have made many deposits, but now the price is falling sharply and I have so many losses reached 40%, but I am very happy with the current price stability.

Like most people, I hope the BTC will grow steadily!

If inflation could be mistaken for a conspiracy by the media or some people!

Stability means healthy development, which is a good signal for the entire digital cryptographic currency!

I think it depends on the people and the movement of the market.

A steady growth will help you gain slowly but surely without risking bigger in the picture while a strong spikes will benefit the day trader and long term investors to get a higher percentage gain if set right.

But a strong spikes happens only once when there's a fork but it is still good to see a strong spikes upward rather than downwards. While steady growth is useful in everyday activity, so i would prefer steady growth if it is a bear season and prefer a strong spikes when the time(long term holding) is right.

I prefer steady growth of price rather than a strong upward spike 'because i doubt after the strong upwards it will drop " as usual ".  And the reason why i prefer steady growth of price  because in fact it's a big opportunity to for us invest even though the price is on top there's no regrets on it 'cause we are sure it will always provide more profits .  

steady growth is somehow safer than a sudden strong spikes, in steady growth, you can monitor all the movements of the market, you have ample time to predict the next move, while on spikes, though the chances of getting huge profit is fast, the loss is expected to be greater too. depending on the trend, one should take measures of sudden movement. but both has the potential of having profit.

I want is steady growth in Bitcoin because of steady income. For me having a strong upward spikes also include strong downward spike, which is very bad in investor. Most specially if the investor is new joiner in the market.

Steady growth would encourage people to slowly invest on bitcoin. On the other hand, if a sudden spike happen, expect that it won't last because a lot of people would surely sell when they achieved their desired price for bitcoin and bitcoin would surely fall really hard after that, giving it a hard to to gain momentum again.

For me,I really don't like those spikes episodes of bitcoin. Because you are investing not only your money but your emotions as well. Volatility of it will only mean you being I the look out 24/7. This kind of trend is very risky but will reap a good amount of returns. I would rather see steady state of growth, less is more.

What spice up the bitcoin market is it volatility, I love the way the bitcoin market is very volatile and hard to predict and at that everyone is always expectant of what will happen next I see that as the fun in it as it always  push us to know more and at the end build us to become strong and have patient to wait that there is always a better and a higher price ahead.

I like the strong upward, volatility is not so bad. Bitcoin price swings is very good to reach larger range of profit. I just afraid about bitcoin fees that become very expensive when the price go to the moon. The volatility also attracts more traders to play in cryptocurrency Market.

I think the combination of both is something personally I would like to see and experience genuinely. If that ever happens
I'd be one of the happiest lad holding bitcoins. Steady growth means more time and opportunity to stabilize in a sense,
but strong upward strikes deliver more excitement. It's what happened late last year I believe, that was a very memorable
time, people got so hype and some sites were experiencing problems with the selling of bitcoins. I think a steady growth
is more ideal, it's a healthy relief being able to be so.

I would rather want a steady growth over fluctuating price. A steady growth is much more safer for investors. It will also easier to encourage people to invest in that instance and it will draw more investors because it is the price is predictable. Most investors would want to have a minimal risk in every investment. I think Bitcoin will be easily adopted by the community if it will attain a stable price.

I think steady is a good way for Bitcoin to grow than strong upward spikes, it's not good for people who have heartattack through.

In my opinion, I would rather choose the current situation of bitcoin which is slightly steady. I prefer to have this kind of growth because I can be sure that my investment won't turn into a waste although the fluctuations of price could also give a lot of opportunities than long tefm.

Traders love the sudden spikes because they trade volatility. The newspapers also love spikes because it gives them a chance to write "bitcoin is a bubble" stories.

From the point of view of bitcoin's long term future, steady growth would be better. It's easier to use something steady as a payment processor, and we'd get away from the bubble stories.

 I wanted to see what the general thoughts of the community here are. With bitcoin being in a pretty steady state for the past few weeks, it seems like there's going to be a set up for some kind of growth. With that, there can be many paths, but after seeing today's price (which was up around 5% when I checked), I was wondering if the volatility is what people actually like about bitcoin. So, do you guys like the volatility and the strong spikes upwards or would you rather like steady growth, around 5% gains over time? Most of the people are scared with bitcoins because of volatile prices. But we forget that this volatility can also be towards the positive side. In fact, if we analyze the past trends we will see mainly upward movement. Because of this volatility only, we had been able to see prices jump. However, if you will ask my opinion, I would like to see it growing steadily. This is required if we want it ti survive forever. Otherwise people will only see it as money making instrument without any real life value

I rather like to see steady bitcoin growth, I'm comfortable when I see bitcoin slowly go up or down, than spiking up then tomorrow it will huge dump at 50% of your investment.

@Janodevera (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=1298946) - What crap is this? Copying and Pasting the same content of those people. You've violated the rule mate.

Even people I know who have been into bitcoins far earlier than I did were disappointed when it went down. I mean, who doesn't dream it'll keep shooting to the moon?

Sucks for those that sold at a loss, those that got in late. Those are the people that are probably never coming back. Oh well, their loss, someone else's gain.

Steady growth obviously. The strong upward spikes make it look as if bitcoin is a big bubble which is going to burst soon. Its the stead gain which make it valid and usable as daily currency. We don't want it to become a double your money lottery scheme. Instead we want stability in long term and usability in general.

I would like to see sudden spikes in the bitcoin prices because we have been patient enough for its price to spike further. The reason it will be liked by many people is simple, everyone here is seating to take up the profits in one shot as they have inevstment heavily and since very long time. Obviously they have to have it as that's the main principle of whole thing here, earning money.

Steady growth would be ridiculous as new investors are impatient one and they are not in the position of investing money at such high prices. If they have done it then they want it back very fast. That's the reason it should be spiked.

Bitcoin has been known widely when it comes to price as a volatile that is why a lot of people are doing this in extra vigilant and at risk, and I think that is the uniqueness in bitcoin and that what makes other people rich by taking risk of their money.

I also like the idea of a steady market, slowly pumping and can really go high over time but since the market is highly volatile we can't be safe if we depend on a steady market. Newbies might tend to love bitcoin to spike high easily but that thing will not happen if people are keep on selling every time bitcoin goes high.

Like many others, I think that a slower growth is the most solid way to maintain the strength but it's true that the spikes like we saw in the last months are the perfect way to gain the maximum in a small time.
I still prefer the slower growth

Both the steady growth and having a strong upward strike have their own pros and cons and that you need to decide very much carefully which thing out of both to choose.

Having a strong upward strike can result in huge fame and can result in so many number of investors as well but this can result in huge loss also at time when this spike will come down. Having a steady growth is less risky but then not more number of investors will invest in it.

I would prefer a steady growth in Bitcoin's price rather than strong upward spikes. I feel like if there is a sudden spike in the price, a sudden downward movement will follow. It is possible that we can see more stable price in the market if we would prefer a steady growth.

Id rather see the steady growth in bitcoin because it could mean that the bitcoin market is stable. It doesnt matter if its high or low, as long as we are in a stable state.

Yeah it's good to  see bitcoin in stable state but  it seems that if there's no movement of bitcoins prices it becoming stagnant while volatility will  create opportunity to the trader's investors to be aggressive with this scenario it like business is alive.

I agree too, having a strong upward spikes is not good in my opinion because sometimes it happens with just hype and maybe it will result in a down on it's price in the following days, or weeks. I rather have steady growth in bitcoin, means there are many event that happen in the bitcoin that makes it's price stable towards rising. It does not matter if it happens in a months or years as long as the growth is continuous with only few downs.

I think the difference is only for those people who are engaged in certain activities. The fact is that who put Bitcoin into long-term storage does not want any hesitation, unlike those who earn a difference in price every day.

but the nemenie never need to give all their money in Bitcoin for the long term. It is already necessary to understand that only the correct and qualitative distribution of financial flows can bring a net profit in the future.

I support you that I also want a steady growth with a little taxation and judiciary onlookers

In that case the craze of btcs will decrease because then it couldn't provide that amount of profit which everyone wants from btcs

I favour sharp uphikes as I want to get rich overnight. Cant wait to buy my first bike ;)

I prefer strong price increases. Because it will make me more excited in trading. It will get rich faster. If the price is stable it will long get rich

Of course I would like to see the rise of BTC!

Many people like my opinion, hope BTC can go up! Stable things mean certain values, and BTC is different. He has a lot of value and is widely accepted by the market!

I just joined bitcoin economy and this forum I need to learn much before answering

I prefer speed rise of Bitcoin rather than stable growth of it because when it's price is good it can attract more investors to invest and also traders and that what everyone likes.

I support you that I also want a steady growth with a little taxation and judiciary onlookers

I guess what the real question here is: Are you a short seller or a long term investor.

For the smart people, we want dat 5% long term steady growth ;)

For the time being, I guess that anything of those scenarios works well for me. I like trading, so I enjoy the spikes, but I also would like to see bitcoin turning into a currency, so for that to work out, the spikes are actually quite bad, so a steady growth would be good as well. Even if bitcoin remain stable, and didn't grow that much would still be decent enough for it to slowly become a currency since people would start using it, and stop being so afraid of holding it for long term.

I would rather see a steady growth rather than a strong upward. Because i believe that everything that goes up fast will go down faster.

A steady growth just like what we have now is much better compared to a strong upward spike that we had expeirenced months ago, since it only means that what we have now are strong will investors, who know when to buy, hold and sell, and it only shows that we have a very health market, however for an upward spike, it is considered just a hype, a pump, and certainly after every pum, dumping will follow afterwards, since  the price already had increased so much, for a very little amount of time, most will sell off, since it is an easy profit for them, and this does not shaw a very health market. Among the two, I would rather choose a steady growth than a strong upward spike.

For what it is, big spikes always comes with big headache corrections. A steady growth is sustainable, healthier and desired.

I preferred steady growth with 5% gains,because in this case for sure we will earn for long period of time,while in strong spikes will be difficult for the reason of sure dropping after that great growth.

So what would be you choice between the two,you seems tl be neutral about this stand of none partisan

Strong upwards movement would mean strong downwards movement which would be prone to more loss because you will be more attracted to buy when the coin is up and if you are not careful then you will end up at a loss due to volatility. Businesses does not want the volatility because they will not be able to account properly if they are having profits. Although we are excited about sudden spikes when it goes up, we would worry when it goes down because there would be large percentage movements which would have bigger profits or losses. This is favorable for traders but not for those investors. A steady growth would be preferable because of the normal profit taking.

I like the volatility and the strong spikes but it was very hard to determine when we should invest or hold our coin because there might be changes if immediately on prices after a day so i prefer to hold my coin in a very tight spot or volatile days.

Personally I prefer to see steady growth and while volatility is impossible
to eliminate, big spikes  mean people are going to get burned.

I can understand though that traders would prefer to see big spikes in
the markets as there are big gains to be had.

In the long run I believe are roads are leading to the same thing !

For trader with good skill on technical analysis, i think they want to high fluctuation on bitcoin price because they can growing their capital with it. But for me, I am better choosing bitcoin price can spike up.
Every type of investor must be want different movement and thats is because every body want to make profits

The good thing about steady growth is that it is easily sustained for a very long period of time and even when trend is changing it is just going to be a steady one and not the usual quick spike up and quick drop. The thing about the whole spike thing is that it affects so many things and more like this is a point where everything is just being driven insane. The transaction fees, congestion on the network, greed, quick dumps and so more. Steady growth in any market is simply just the best.

It is funny you said you like it and then you are still stating the disadvantages as it applies to you. Spikes are caused by greed and that is one fuel in the market that does not come out well at the end just like what we have seen so far.

Every unnecessary spike in price usually come with a crash most especially when it is not a sustained one or nothing serious driving the value except speculation and FOMO. Steady growth on the other hand is more like having a much matured market with everything going on smoothly and the greed factor being limited.

Strong upward spikes can help me become rich faster, as I can time the market well

Even traders prefer steady growth sometimes, as the huge level of volatility sometimes can be very unbearable unless you are very smart about it. However, that is what makes a trader anyway. The volatility however, is also still something to look out for in every market as there is no way we can avoid it most of the time, most especially when it is even a new market with a lot of opportunities and some trying not to miss out. Nevertheless, the outcome is not always good for some who bought at the top, and they are most especially always the newbie investors with no experience.

Of course, I would like to see steady growth, but there will always be those who, for whatever reason, wanted to get out of the position or consolidate profits. So I think there will be a price hike.

Most of us would like to see a steady growth on Bitcoin,
But I think there are pthers who wants to see a strong upward spike so they could take advantage of it,

Yes, it is more like exact word and opposite. With a steady growth, we will always have a steady trend both ways which at least brings some level of sanity and maturity into the market which is not the same thing one can say for spikes.

Looking at all the spikes that has happened in almost every market, it has never ended well and that is one thing that can be pretty much annoying about it. Yeah, the quick gains and those who can easily sell off when it is becoming untrue will have all the profit, but at the same time, I feel it drags back a lot of things.

Most people will like stable growth, as long as we hold steady growth for a long time to be the best bet for bitcoin.

But investors like big swings because they will be profitable.

I prefer the strong spikes because in this way i can sell my coins at the highest price then invest again in order to earn a huge amount of profit, this is the best way for us to earn a huge amount of profit that we can use for our daily needs.

Every person have their own choice i think, if we are trader, we must be choosing high fluctuation on the price but if we are long term investor, we better choosing steady growth.
I am better choosing steady growth even its impossible in cryptomarket because market always high fluctuatioan

In my honest opinion, these sudden upward spikes are in favor of investors as compare to a steady growth. Due to these abrupt fluctuations, there are downfalls too that allow new investors to join in and the old one can buy more bitcoin.

A steady growth won’t give a chance to buy the coin at low rate. Besides, this is the essence of bitcoin and a reason behind attracting investors worldwide.

I'd rather pick the safest one which is the steady growth. I'm not into rush type of investment all I need is a legit one that will get you the profit that you need for your daily needs and expenses. Playing with risk is a good hell of a profit yeah. But once it gets you with those fluctuations and then you badly need to withdraw then you lose a lot of the profits which in the safest way you can gain over time and never lose a single dime.

Of course, I would want to hold and wait for the best strike high of the value of bitcoin though we all know that it is quite impossible because bitcoin is volatile and is it really unstable. However, there is really nothing wrong in aiming for the best value where in we would be able to get a good profit. I believe that there is nothing wrong in aiming for the better.

I actually like and prefer steady grow and progressive development than spike pricing. If cryptocurrencies is going to be adopted worldwide then it price must be stable and we must build confidence in it.  I have been trading cryptocurrencies since early last year and one thing that I have find out is that people and business are not adopting it as money which I think because of the spikes there are afraid.

Yup that's right. It's a little less volatility for bitcoin and it's healthier. The quick spike in price attracted a lot of people into bitcoin of course but it also gives people false promise of quick profit. With a more steady movement, those who plan to invest would need to make studies about what they're going to deal with

I will surely want to see the price of Bitcoin to go up little by little rather than pumping like crazy, because it means it is healthy so.

Huge spikes are impressive and they make a lot of people a lot of money, but for bitcoin I'd much rather see slow growth.  We all saw what happened once bitcoin got to $20,000--we crashed hard, and even though it was pretty much expected, it stung. 

I'm not a trader; I am one of the people who uses bitcoin to buy things, and I tend to not hold onto bitcoin when I have it.  Big price jumps and drops don't help me at all.  If I was an individual who spent a lot of time on Poloniex or Kraken trading bitcoin to alts or fiat, then yeah I'd probably go the other way.  It's a good question, player514.

If to choose among those two options you have mentioned then without any doubts I would choose bitcoin growth. Those who collect coins will be glad to sell them at high price if it increases. However, this can be arguable what is better

I can see more steady trend on Bitcoin market trading. The market recovered or has its own correction after the market glitz, with the stable market fundamental posted, volume of investor increase slowly yet confident with the Bitcoin project. It does reflect this movement with the better acceptance of the Bitcoin as an alternative investment. The saddened spike on its project prices would indicate that something will happened either good for the crypto currency market or not.

i personally liked steady growth around 5% gains over time and i don't like volatility but unfortunately we can't pushed our desire because if some of us does not liked volatility but this volatility always be a part of cryptocurrencies and some of people in my country considers volatility is similar such as bubble which is can be burst everytime

Not only me, surely there will be many people who choose a stable price with 5% growth. Almost everyone will choose to invest in bitcoin, because there is no risk of loss. But this will not happen, because bitcoin price is very sensitive. Bitcoin price can change at any time, we can not confirm the price.
While bitcoin price tends to be volatile, this opens a person's chance to trade bitcoin, depending on the experience and luck, because trading bitcoin is also high risk.

I would prefer steady growth in Bitcoin rather than strong upward strikes. It entirely a matter of personal choice. Some prefer to trade so they will say strong upward strikes are good. But I like to play safe so steady growth is good for me. I normally hold on to my investments as I can’t handle risks well. But strikes are good for those who trade a s they can get numerous opportunities to buy and sell.

The BTC has started to fall in the last two days, which is a sad thing!

BTC's steady growth or rapid growth is what people like, and people don't like red in the cryptocurrency world!

These doesn’t matter whether steady growth or strong upward of chart of BTC. What important is the growth of the cryptocurrency as whole? Growth of BTC alone is not enough to create a bigger market. It should be supported by altcoins. As a trader; we all know that growth varies depending on the volume of trades. There are no sure steady or strong upward moments but the sure thing is more upward and downward moment that is the law of supply and demand.

A steady and small growth is boring, it will only happen once in the future. When all people already boringly well-understood BItcoin as financial assets, I doubt the volatility would remain exists. But for nowadays, the tremendous spike will be really exciting because of that we have a lot of trading option.

Generally everyone secretly wants the btcs to runned as usual so that they can keep profiting

I would prefer to see a steady growth instead of the huge spikes in the price, but I cannot really make bitcoin do what I want so I have adapted to the difficult market conditions by adopting a very simple strategy which is to hold no matter what, some people do not like this strategy because they think it is not the best in this kind of market, but I prefer to protect myself and my small investments over trying to earn more.

Steady growth will make bitcoin bad news about volatility simmer down. When the growth is steady, i believe that the drop not that spiking too. Steady phase is just when bitcoin surely reach its limit amount of its cap. But, for bitcoin could make steady growth is kinda hard in my opinion.

Steady growth i think is better because it may attract more investors because they believe that they gain more with this no worry of falling down the price again so its pretty sure that even though it is slowly going up but with the confidence that its price will go high but slowly.

Even small increases but consistent is way better for me than short period spikes. Although massive pump makes some people rich but it goes down very fast. I prefer steady growth because I can assure that I do not lose that much money when dump happens compared to huge growth. Look what happened last year, bitcoin's price went up to 20 000 us dollars but now it is sitting at about 8 000 us dollars, I regret that time that I did not cash out my money.So I prefer steady growth to avoid huge losses when something bad happens to bitcoin's price.

I prefer steady growth only for bitcoin and ethereum because they are cryptocurrencies that have a large community among others, for cryptocurrency otherwise I prefer volatillty because trading with a crypto that has a strong volatility can be profitable although the risk is also high.

A steady growth is more preferred. People want to get rich, but not threatening their own ethics and personality :)

Although it is difficult to say which one is better, I would also pick the steady growth. I know that it is not possible - the market is swinging all the time. But it would give us more confidence.

I want to see the sunrise of the day when I will hear that btcs are no longe just mere investment, rather its our daily bits.

On the current situation of bitcoin its so difficult to achieved a steady growth the market are full of whales and suprises so expect a pump and dump sitiation. I also want a stready growth because if this situation will come Im really sure more big investor will come in the market.

The stable and slow growth of bitcoin would have a very positive effect on the general development of the crypto currency and for its recognition by the states. Crypto currency would develop harmoniously. However, in practice, this is not possible. A stable and slow rise in price will again inevitably attract the interest of new investors and the ups and downs will begin again.

My views are simple I look upto btcs to become a stable coin somedays and so I believe in its stabilization.

I prefer a steady growth gradually increase, because it can enable us to earn profits with certainty and the risk of loss is also lower.

Ofcourse strong upward strikes because im aiming always for quick bucks,i buy bitcoin and wait even atleast 2-5% and sell,i dont wanna long hold because small amount is enough for me to feed my family and pay for bills

This how simple. I use market,no drama just plain money

Well for me myself, i prefer a steady growth over time. Since i make bitcoin as a long term investment, so i don't really check the price frequently. And because bitcoin price can be up and down drastically in short amount of time, it kinda bother me since sometimes i lost the time when the price is high and i'm not there to sell it.
So i think, it it grow 5% over time like you said, it will be helpful for me because i don't need to check it everyday, and anxiously wait for the right time to sell, and afraid i will miss the right time and such.

I prefer stable growth rather than volatility and strong spikes. Because this affects people's interest in bitcoin, because what everyone thinks first is a loss, so if the price is stable, people feel safe enough to invest and can minimize losses.

I would prefer a steady growth in Bitcoin's price rather than strong upward spikes. I feel like if there is a sudden spike in the price, a sudden downward movement will follow. It is possible that we can see more stable price in the market if we would prefer a steady growth.

Majority of the users want bitcoin to have a stable growth, you cannot expect a stable growth in a market which is new, since this is the early stages we will see these spikes in prices every now and then and as years goes by the volatility will decrease by the amount of users in the market, right now the volatility is much lower in the past few months than we had in the past because last year was a game changer as there were many new investors in the market.

How does it affects people's interest in Bitcoin? You're either a long term investor, and thus don't care about the volatility, or you're a trader loving the volatile market. ::)

If you're in for the long term, and the price happens to go down a bit after you having bought yourself some coins, then it's nothing more than a loss on paper (virtual loss). It becomes a loss when you start selling your coins below your initial buying price. This also means that if the price happens to go up after your purchase, you haven't made any profit. Is it that difficult to figure out for yourself?

If you can't handle the volatility even when you're long term minded, then you are better off not investing in anything related to crypto.

I will prefer a steady growth compared with the high spike up or even downwards. Hope you are aware that the recent stable price movements of the Bitcoin has helped win some big investors into the Cryptocurrency markets. So, we don't need the high and sharp movements to scare them off.

I'd rather see neither. I'd rather Bitcoin find a steady value and hold it. It would be far more useful as a currency and a store of value if it maintained a steady value day to day, week to week, and month to month. The rapid rise and fall attracts all the wrong people who are only here to speculate and try to get rich quick. The 'lambo chasers' aren't good for long term adoption or stability, and I'd rather do without them. If Bitcoin maintained a steady value, it would be more compelling for businesses and consumers, but as long as it wildly fluctuates in price, there is a 0% chance of it every being taken seriously as a currency.

If my goal is a short-term investment only, then I will Choose the strong upside spike of Bitcoin. However, I want to see Bitcoin growing steady as the time goes by. I'm planning on Investing in Bitcoin for a long time and it will be best for me if I will see Bitcoin getting stronger and reliable every day. and I believe that it's not only who will benefit with this. but every single user of Bitcoin.

When their is a steady growth we can see the changes that bitcoin price will moves upwards. These sudden strong upward spikes may go down instant. So more likely most prefer the steady growth wherein their is more to hopes for bitcoin to be really profitable.

One should understand that volatility is the name of the game in the crypto industry. You can get profits from volatility in this industry if you know how to play it and make adjustments. Steady growth is actually the ideal thing to see however there are many factors that we need to know why cryptocurrency cannot achieve such state.

Me particular I love the volatility in the Price of bitcoin since it making us to be expecting new changes at every point in time, but if any one ever tell you we are going to have stable price then that is a lie because once the demands changes the Price will also change.

An ordinary investor may find that a volatility is wonderful. It is possible to receive a significant profit with minimal capital investments. However, in practice, such volatility only hinders the development of the industry. It discourages large institutional investors who are not willing to risk their clients' money on the market, where daily fluctuations can be 20 percent or more. Such price fluctuations do not allow the cryptocurrencies to gain full access to the real economy.

As a bitcoin holder, of course, I would prefer that bitcoin grows rapidly in value. However, I also understand that its rapid growth will lead to a deep correction and a drop in price. Also, its rapid growth will be regarded by some states as a manifestation of its bubble. This will complicate the legalization of bitcoin by states.
Therefore, slow growth of bitcoin is better for him and for crypto currency in general.

I think that comming of new interested people here in crypto will cause steady growth, and news like acceptance in some coutry can cause pikes.

I won't call it a growth , rather we are at a decline please right now and the growth with Bitcoins Haven't been steady since I started using this but the fact is..no matter what as long as it doesn't go down and stays down for long both steady and fast growth are good for everyone.. ( joking that's impossible )

Well you know if Bitcoins in the future would have been Integrated with the economy of the present day society then the volatility will die out and that will be the best course of action for it to be accepted for long term thus offcourse the steady growth.. small and directional would be preferred.

I also think that a more steady growth will attract more investors, right now the people that are investing in cryptocurrencies are not really long term investors, the type of investor that is putting his money in cryptocurrencies is the one that was take huge risks and that is not afraid of the huge volatility in the market, and while that kind of investors can bring a lot of money to the market, the ones that have the most money are the ones that invest in financial products that gives small but very steady returns.

Who wouldn't want spikes as it could give immediate profits. But it could also mean it could have a big plunge.
Steady incline is like time deposit for banks, unless you didn't deposited a big amount, you won't earn a big amount.

I would prefer a steady growth because that's a healthy scenario in bitcoin price progress rather than a sporadic spikes because it would create  uncertainty to the investors and trader's.

The upward strikes has already taken place by the February's end! Even another cycle of dip is on the way

in my opinion, i would rather see a slow and sustained increase in the price of crypto currencies rather than see spikes. spikes means that it is still volatile and means that investors would be hesitant to adapt crypto currencies in their businesses. but the greedy SOB part of me wants to see spikes, then i would sell out my holdings and buy more when it crashes (and it will). but then again, i would much rather see a stable and strong crypto currency than being rich for the moment and see it crash before my eyes.

But the difference is that a steady growth in bitcoin is not going to be as low as the interest rates that you are getting from a bank, I don't know how big are the interest rates in your country but in my country are close to 1%, while the growth of the stock market is close to 8% per year, bitcoin if it had a stable growth could easily grow 20% to 30% which is a lot of growth in a single year.

In a market as volatile as the one from Bitcoin, the entry points are very important. Bitcoin can grow even with 500% in a single year, but if you enter the market at the wrong time, you won't benefit from that growth at all. Most people are short term minded, so the timing for them is the most important aspect of investing in Bitcoin or basically any other crypto currency. Only when you are in for the long term you can rule out a large part of that risk exposure, but not many people have that patience. On top of that, capital shifts from coin to coin based on where the action is taking place -- it is and will remain one crazy circus that can't be stopped until institutions start taking over.

I would expect we're about at the point where Bitcoin won't be growing 500% in a single year anymore. The valuation is already huge, and in order to accommodate such growth at this level would require so much additional money flowing into Bitcoin that it seems impossible. It's hard to imagine Bitcoin growing 500% over any period of time from an $8,000 price point, let alone in a year. People think the more time that goes by, the more people will pile into Bitcoin, but it could also be that the more time that goes on, the more people get accustomed to the idea that Bitcoin makes people rich by taking money from the people who buy later and giving it to the people who already have Bitcoin. That is, the only way to make money from it is to sell it to someone else for more than what you bought it from someone for. Because that is economically unsustainable, the smarter people are going to realize that it's far too risky to buy and risk running out of people to sell to in the future. The more time that goes by, the fewer people to sell to there will be.

I think if there is a steady growth it won’t really make sense, and no market has a steady growth, it’s always about fluctuating. If Bitcoin has a steady growth, lots of people will be missing out on the opportunity, unless I will just make an investment and just leave it in there and continue to hold with hope that the price will go up to an amount I can withdraw and quit once and for all. But when it keeps on having strong upward spikes (fluctuating up and down) it will. Be creating a bigger opportunity and draw the interests of investors who understands.

A strong spike means that there's also a sheer drop in price afterwards. I mean it's great if you happen to sell your holdings at it's peak and buy more during the drop. But personally i want to see a strong and stable coin evsn if it rises very slowly so long as it's stable. That kind of coins will see adoption by businesses.

It's not something that we can simply prefer, and say that this is what's going to happen.

I think that 90% of people here would rather see bitcoin be in a steady, long term growth curve. However, this isn't always the case. It's in the nature of any asset traded on the free market to have bull and bear seasons, where prices spike and cools down later. That's just how the investment cycle works, the pendulum swings from bull to bear and back again periodically.

Steady, consistent growth is what is always desired imo by every bitcoin investor, but right now, we're seeing a lot more volatility in the market. Which isn't really a bad thing, if you are able to take advantage of it by buying low and selling high, tbh.

i'll answer the OP post with that i rather want to see a steady slow growth than upward spikes that may result a big downtrend after that spikes.

For you're it takes to the reality that there are no stable growth and only a strong upward spikes. This two is a combination and there is more the dumping and stable dumping. All it was called fluctuations. I will not make this long my opinion whatever the market goes adjust yourselves and grab the opportunity that you will going to see.

I'd still like to invest with its spikes even if you have to wait longer and you are investing with the uncertainty of bitcoin that the price might not be stable. With this risk you will get higher profits and higher range of income you potentially can get by investing into bitcoin. The behavior of it's price sometimes is just amazing because it can go deep or it can go in a big bulk of price which will make you rich or advantageously benefited in terms of financial matters.

I prefer steady growth cause atleast we can see bitcoin, growing up little by little and we won't be nervous for a sudden drop of price. However let's just accept the fact that bitcoin is volatile, and let's be prepared no matter might happen weather up or down.

For me I'd rather see Bitcoin stay the way it is now, I mean we can always make use of how the Bitcoin works, the volatile nature of cryptos is what makes it great after all. If you make it the other way around then its gonna be tough to gain profit from it, though if you're a long term holder then its another story.

As an investor who wants a long term one, I would go for the steady growth of Bitcoin, it will give good returns to me in time. Steady growth would give people the interest in doing long term investments. If you go for the strong upward spikes and volatility, then it would be good for traders, they just have to be very wise and smart with their timing of actions and they will be able to get good profit gains.

Steady growth is ok for me because im just holding my coins, and i want to see and to know that it is growing and the price is increases even if it is slowly. Volatility is not for long term, because some of the investors if they see the price is falling they are selling their coin even if they will lose some.

I also prefer seeing this steady growth of bitcoin than just seeing it in a fast upward spikes and expect a price correction after and may go down in such a low price.Long-term holders will have less worries on the price knowing the price is really in an upward trend and may reach the target goal in the coming years.

If you already holding bitcoin as an investment, of course you are looking for an upward spike in price, but there are other things to consider, like what would be the effect of the continuous price hike on bitcoin and to the entire economy in long term. Is it going to be healthy for the entire cryptomarket? How can new investor afford to buy bitcoin if the price does not go down even periodically? Inflation rate, market cap, acceptance, and other  economic related matter are subject for studies for bitcoin's value regulation.

I prefer steady growth than a strong upward spike in terms of bitcoin price. As we all know, bitcoin is known for strong upward spike on price and that is why it became famous. A lot of people doesn't realize that the spike also has its disadvantage and that is a sudden drop or a fall. If take a look closely, bitcoin will only have 2 months of spike then it will go downwards for the rest of the year. Same thing happens this year.

at least for investors and traders, each of Bitcoin's capabilities is very important. In any case, any fluctuation in the price of Bitcoin is very profitable for the trader, and the investor hopes for an active and stable increase in the price of Bitcoin.

I think it would be preferable for me to have a steady growth since bitcoin I buy for long-term prospects

For me a long term investors or sometimes semi long,i would rather choose the steady growth even a 1% but daily growth ,for 30 days thats 30% increase so thats not bad for someones holding good amount right?

Ever since i been here in crypto,patience is my only weapon and dfor that i become good earner and participants

Investors like the slow and steady growth in bitcoin while traders like the strong upward spike growth.
I honestly like the strong upward spike growth, it paves the way for new traders willing to have another source of income and they only have to be patient and gain knowledge to not sell their coins too easily and through panic on wrong speculations. It is given that the value of bitcoin will soar in the future so I do not really mind the volatility. Not all have the time and patience making long-term investments.

Both are the same honestly, strong upward spikes just have the thrills and more profit if done correctly.

I think I will go in for a steady growth of price over  a period time. With that, there will be less panic in the system, governments won't think of making things inconvenient for us and many people would join. But anyways the sharp dips and spikes are also good for day traders.

What you are saying is a possibility but only if bitcoin never becomes a currency and it is used only as a way to speculate, but if bitcoin does really became a currency then people are going to need to buy it because they will need it in their everyday lives and since that will push the demand up that will increase the price of it in an organic way, but obviously seeing such a big growth is probably not going to happen again.

Which ever the direction the price wants to go, I did prefer it to be slow and steady. I do believe this is being worked on by the input  of the world Financial bodies and the effect is gradually playing out now. I do hope it can be maintained for along time though.

As for me, it's better to let it gradually add to the price. In 2017, we observed a very large volatility and growth. I think that this is bad, we need stability.

I invested in bitcoin for long-term prospects so that for me it will be more convenient to grow steadily

Strong growth is more attractive to promoting of bitcoin and as world currency including. Strong volatility gives the chance of big profit at the correct rates.

Honestly I prefer stable growth. That will certainly make the popularity of bitcoin is increasing and also certainly get enthusiastic from the community of its users or investors. So the stable growth makes bitcoin even more interesting. That's just my opinion.

I still prefer stable bitcoin growth because with stable growth we are safer in trading so we do not hesitate in selling or buying this bitcoin and if we will get the loss we do not get much loss too.

For bitcoin and crypto currency in general it would be better if it grew slowly, without strong ups and downs of prices. Then it would be more widely used as a means of payment and less for accumulation, which means that it would not manifest itself as a financial bubble. At the same time, governments would lose their main argument, pointing out now a great risk when investing, because such a risk would have significantly diminished.
Almost the only ones who would lose on this are traders who trade on the exchanges, as the profitability of such activity would significantly decrease.

I would prefer to see a steady growth in btc unlike its volatility so it can be widely used as payment and it would be effortlessly gain. Btc being volatile is a risk and challenge for the users, however, I think the good thing about its strong upward spikes is that it can increase its value more than of what we expected. The btc value can exceed our price expectation.

Yeah you're right, when upward trend happens and make a surprise in the market there will be a lot of people who will do panic selling because want to get profit, because it certainly resulted in the price back down because more supply, this often happens, so I prefer steady growth, no one panics because of this..

I would prefer to see a steady growth of the Crypto currency than it is now. If bitcoin last December did not grow so rapidly in its price to almost $ 20,000, then there would not be such a low and long total fall of the crypto-currency market. Bitcoin in the last six months of slow growth would have already reached a much higher price than it has now.

Market is Volatile, anything can happened in the market at any given time, the price value of Bitcoin can goes up and down, no one can predict on the movement on the trading market, Yet, Bitcoin remain on the top among ALT coin, this indicate that what ever price movement on the market is just a normal thing not only on Bitcoin, but instead it goes with other crypto in the market or in the Stock market. Bitcoin price stabilized after the market glitz or some say a Bubble. Market correct itself on the market treed.

I would rather see a steady growth in bitcoin. But even we want a steady growth. We cannot control the movement in the market. The value of bitcoin is so volatile it keeps on moving.

Yeah there is always a sunshine after the rain. Bitcoin has been operated for almost a decade so no wonder that there could be another surprise for it. Well we should never expect though but in my opinion there will be great things that happen and i am positive into it because if not then possibly that bitcoin market price nowadays will continue to drop until zero due to panick selling but instead people are holding those who sell might decided to end up there investment.

bitcoin will go up and it will be very strong when bitcoin has bad news so it can make bitcoin prices to rise very quickly and can benefit very much and bitcoin becomes widely used and becomes very rare.

bitcoin and is popular that its prices are rising at a lightning rate that are falling, but I would prefer a steady growth

I would like to see the price jumps for me it will be more convenient and I would follow the prices constantly so as not to miss anything

Almost all of bitcoin users prefer steady growth to strong spikes upwards or another. Because we all know that when the market is stable, people may get a stable income as well, that’s what most people hope for. However, When the market has steady growth, lots of disadvantages can rise. Buying coins will much more difficult than before.  Although the extremely volatility of bitcoin often make people be in fear of selling because the fluctuations’ down. But with volatility, bitcoin provides people a good chance to buy it easily.

I would rather choose the steady growth than an upward spike because most likely the upward spikes trend would somewhat amount to a downward spiral too. At least the steady growth can be foreseen slowly if the trend is downward or going down.

It is actually surprising that while reading through the thread, a whole lot of people prefer steady growth to huge spikes. Who wouldn't actually after seeing all the events and occurrences of previous years with huge spikes ?

Huge spikes are never good for any market as it creates an after effect that is obviously not good for anyone and even in a way affects growth as the real value will not be seen, but instead all we will keep getting would be an unsustainable speculative asset. Steady growth is a whole lot better as it gives room for development compared to sudden rise and then fall down. When most people will understand this then we can expect gradual price appreciations to happen all the times.

it is true that in the upward development it must go through a good process, so that everything is created well too, instead of the price suddenly rising and straight back down very slowly. it is very panic for many people.

Everyone wants steady growth of bitcoins price but we already aware of its price votality that can make its value to rise and fall.No matter what would be the markets movement its either its bearish market or growing we are all just here to support bitcoin because we will earn huge profit in it.

I think you mean to say that stability is better than the spiking in the values of Bitcoin. I agree with you on this issue because if you keep the rules of monetary economics in the mind, as an investor, you will only invest in an asset with good price stability and not the one with abrupt fluctuations in the market values. The abrupt ups and downs often makes people think of selling when the market is down.

For me I would rather see the steady growth happening on Bitcoin even a small percentage of gain over time rather than putting up a strong spike but have a higher possibility to put down the price which can somehow put up my assets to suddenly suffer the downfall. It is still best to move into a slowly but surely manner rather than spiking up at a higher value but taking too much risk when price will goes up or down effectively which is a lot more risky and have lots of worries.

I would preffer second option, because in that case, we can trade more effectively, and have more income profit from trading. During slight growth think would go not so good.

I will prefer a steady growth compared with the high spike up or even downwards. Hope you are aware that the recent stable price movements of the Bitcoin has helped win some big investors into the Cryptocurrency markets. So, we don't need the high and sharp movements to scare them off.

I think I will go in for a steady growth of price over  a period time. With that, there will be less panic in the system, governments won't think of making things inconvenient for us and many people would join. But anyways the sharp dips and spikes are also good for day traders.

Yeah, as much as we all love those quick spikes for quick gain, they are never going to be sustainable and this is the reason why it is always so easy to see a quick dump coming with a quick spike at the end of the day and this sends the wrong message most of the time as more of a pump and dump market kind of.

For a steady growth, this would really make a lot of sense, it would give room for real growth, we will get people and investors all over the world, seeing a pretty good movement and sustainable one upward, and that is all that matters, not some craziness in the space.

As fast bitcoin go upward, they come down with same speed. Like in December of last year, you all have witnessed it that prices were just jumping to such high value in such short time period and after those few weeks they came down with much same speed. So be prepared for it. Don’t just become so happy that you could lose your mind and never thought of bad scenes coming up.

The volatility is normal in the market because that is the reason why cryptocurrency is very profitable today, if bitcoins will have a stable price then there is no way for cryptocurrency to become very profitable and good for long term investment.

Well, it seems you did not even understand the question here before commenting. We all know the price is volatile and since it is a decentralized market, there is simply nothing we can do about it. However, it should be understood that huge spikes is never good for anyone as it brings a lot of emotion into the market and before you know it, it may actually get tagged as more of a P&D market.

We need real growth, we need development and in a very swift and good way, and all these huge spikes are distractions which makes steady growth to be far better. I guess no sensible bitcoiner will be preferring spikes and OP is just mentioning it here for debate purposes alone.

Since I have invested much of my time and effort here in cryptocurrency, I would love to have it on it's striking high value so through that, I would be able  to gain better. I know that it might take time to wait for the best value but I believe that if we really want to maximize our gain, we should know  when to sell. Patience is a virtue here so we should have more patience.

I will choose steady growth as it is safe for all investors. Spikes are due to manipulations and average investor loose in this situation.

Price appreciation isn't income. The only way you can realize a gain in Bitcoin is to sell the underlying asset for more than what you bought it for. That's not income, it's capital gains. Bitcoin doesn't have the potential to produce income either because it's an unproductive asset. It sits there and either goes up in value or down in value based on what other people are willing to pay for it. Businesses that create value and pay dividends are an income source. Real estate is an income source. The difference between these and Bitcoin are that they are productive assets and pay income without having to dispose of the underlying asset.

Steady growth of course. That's better for Bitcoin. It actually minimizes potential loss for people. No buy high, then the next week it drops by 30% due to a correction.

I love steady growth. It’s more predictable and comfort condition for working with crypto than those upward spikes. Of course they can give you an opportunity to make lots of money if you play fast but it’s not the case I prefer.

If I personally more like a stable price change because with a stable price we are safer in trading and again although we lose but Tidka lose a lot but if slim Tan gas cap up but down then we will get big losses

bitcoin is having a long bear market now there wont be much price growth market will move up around 1000 dollars to 2000 dollars price variation

Bitcoin will become productive with LN and generate income for you without fundamentally exposing your coins to any sort of risk. I think it will be the first time where you can put your coins to work allowing yourself to earn micro bits without having a different party control them. It will be a major breakthrough because you now have the incentive to actually use your coins in a way that has nothing to do with buy low sell high.

The more liquidity is being added to LN, the more usable it becomes, and the more rewarded liquidity providers will be. It concerns very small rewards per time, and the market effect will likely make sure the fees become extremely low, but if it happens thousands of times per day, it adds up nicely in the end. We're not there yet, but the promise is definitely there.

Steady, solid growth is better because it would cause only few corrections and can recover quickly. Strong upward spikes or price surges may lead to deep correction or crashes. The bullrun in 2017 is a fine example which reached its all-time high of $20k and it goes down to $6400 several months later and still depreciating. With the present state of bitcoin, we might be heading to its all-time low this year.

I would rather prefer steady growth slowly recovering until it reach a high price than going fast upward because you can see how it recovers how it develop and this will attract more investors because they can see it's market going high slowly but surely.

I would rather like to see steady growth in bitcoin, i want its value to grow more getting higher slowly, in time im sure that its existence will be longer. Than in bitcoin upward  then suddenly go down in an instant,  it will have a negative income for those who invested during high price, that is the only i dont want to happen.

I wanted to see steady growth in bitcoin i would be favorable for everyone specially when they have many token instore in their wallet but I would like also to see it spike upwards so that I could have more profit but I know these things will take time before it happen but I am willing to wait to see these both things happen

Steady growth in bitcoin can attract to buy and invest , its pretty good . But i think it will not happen . 😂

I believe bitcoin can be very expensive from this price because I see bitcoin has very good potential bitcoin can be expensive because bitcoin has a very limited demand and a very limited supply.

Since I'm a long term holder I will prefer a slow and steady growth but I recognize the fact that it is too soon for that, bitcoin is still too small and there is a huge amount of money always looking for the next big thing, so I expect this behavior of bitcoin growing suddenly is going to continue for a long time until it reaches a huge size and after that we will finally see some steady growth, however as far as I can tell there are many more traders than long term holders and they will probably prefer the market stays as it is.

Either both steady growth or strong upward spikes has its advantages and potential where bitcoin is demand. As for bitcoin that has limited supply i think i would rather see steady growth, its the most safer and fair for all of us investors and traders.

I know that most of you will say you need a steady growth… but as for me, I would say I like the way it works now– a little bit of a steady growth and more of an strong upward spikes. It keeps on going up a little and there keeps on being some bubbles along with it. So I prefer it the way its going. Most of us here who depends on HODL makes their profit whenever the price bubbles. Or is being pumped.

I guess almost everyone in this forum preferred a steady growth most especially if we are here to invest in long term. Though others would prefer strong spike especially the traders due to their job preferences. But for me as long as market is stable and strong enough to recover after the correction then i will be happy. I am into long term investment so what matters to me is for the crypto to survive in a long run.

Yes, it is a practice for people to always react to upward movements that come in a very maniac way. The thing is they would not be sustainable for long as it is believed to be a manipulated growth and not some growth caused by a pretty good demand and in cases like this, it can be so terrible to see the outcome. Steady growth is a whole lot better and even if it takes a longer period of time, at least, it brings about some level of maturity and sanity in a market.

I prefer a steady growth even if it's just a little but sure. With that I can invest without risk, because with this steady rising price I will definitely get a profit without the risk of a very low price can make me become a rich man. I'm sure investors here really expect the price to go up like that.

Like most of the responses already posted here, I would also rather prefer that Bitcoin achieve steady growth. Nothing ever worth it comes easy anyway. With strong upward spikes of course also comes the corresponding downward spikes and if this is the case, it would be so frustrating and could even be a turn off for the regular trader who will get caught bagholding during the spiking season.

Steady growth is still growth and is a much safer path towards success.

I agree with you, I'll take the steady growth too, because it's the safest, and also you can assure your income daily. Unlike strong upward spikes, there's still volatility there, and it's possible that the downward spikes are strong too. So I'll stick with the safest one, even if it's long it's alright, as long as I can earn a profit.

In what way will LN turn Bitcoin from an unproductive asset to a productive asset. I don't understand what fundamentally will change. It seems you're suggesting that people take a rake of transaction fees for providing liquidity in LN, is that the case? If that were true, I suppose that would technically make a return on holding Bitcoin possible, but if LN is supposed to be so cheap, the return will likely never amount to anything significant as you'll be competing with everyone else offering liquidity in hopes of earning a return as well, and the competition will prevent any type of worthwhile return from emerging.

we do not hesitate in selling or buying this bitcoin and if we will get a loss, we also do not get much loss because I still prefer stable bitcoin growth because with stable growth we are safer in trading

I would like to steady ofcourse cause it more healthy for market and make the price to became more solid and market spike only make the market correction happening again and again and make the price stuck at some point.

I would like to see a steady growth rather than a strong price spike in bitcoin because it will not bring any good reflection in bitcoin if it will have a strong price spike because it will just create an image that bitcoin is a bubble and that is not what we want here and we want to show that bitcoin is stable in growing and not like a bubble.

Both of them are good and I would like to be seeing the both of them happen. When the price is going up steady just like it has done for more than a decade now by going from $0 to the current price of $6k – $7k, with an all time high price of $19k, it means that we are progressing and that lots of people are joining the community. As for the upward spike, I would say that is important cause that’s the only way to make money quick through HODLing.

I would agree with giarised. Both sides of Bitcoin are important. There always should be a high time for buying crypto and selling it. That's the point of trading in general I think.

I personally prefer volatility although it has a lot of risk because the value of pump and dump will be quite far away, this value will make us easy to decide whether to buy or sell, stable increase will only cause boring market. The higher the votality, the higher the risk, but that is the investment principle, we must be ready to face the risks.

There is no thing as both in bitcoin in terms of growing because the steady growth of bitcoin is far way better than a strong upward spikes because the spikes in bitcoin means manipulation, hype or just FOMO or fear of missing out so it is better to have a steady growth to prove that it is a good cryptocurrency with a stable development.

Steady growth is the best for me but it is not good also to investors.
Investors will earn from up and down of price therefore if the price of bitcoin will grow steadily, they don't need to buy and sell instead they will hold their bitcoin until they will decide to sell for their satisfactory price.

For bitcoin and for crypto currency in general it was. it would be very good if bitcoin grew slowly, without sharp price fluctuations. We already clearly see what led to the price surge of bitcoin in December last year. Already the eighth month of the crypto currency can not come to normal mode from such a price spike.
At the same time, after the December price surge, the process of legalizing crypto-currency by states that saw a financial bubble in Bitcoin slowed. Also, the high volatility of bitcoin is called one of the reasons why it can not be recognized as a means of payment.

If we study about the behavior of the bitcoin in terms of the market value of bitcoin since last few years, then we will get to know that the market value of bitcoin was never static and that it always kept on changing with time. However, it is more profitable for the investors to see ups and downs as this will then help them in buying the coins at cheaper rates and then selling them at higher rates.

For me, I would rather prefer steady growth slowly recovering until it reach a high price than going fast upward because you can see how it recovers how it develop and this will attract more investors because they can see it's market going high slowly but surely.

i would prefer a steady growth of bitcoin.
But this will make people just hold the tokens and the movement will suffer.
Unlike in a spike growth the price of moon will give the people to buy more and once fall there will be a sell off and a buy again at low.
this will keep bitcoin moving.

If a person trades, then he needs volatility. Of a long-term investor, then a steady growth

I think although upward spikes are great for fast big earning, most reasonable people would choose the steady growth, because money you earn from spikes can't be a regular thing, and also it's really bad for the crypto development.

hello, I think bitcoin can be trusted. I'd better put my money in bitcoin than in a dollar or a ruble. :(

Steady growth makes investor long term more comfort. But most people must want make quick profits and strong upward spike. Crypto market cap still undervalue and i think we will see strong upward in near future

Steady growth is better cause from the first place bitcoin is for transaction and we invest in cause we trust the blockchain technology will be use in our transaction in future, sudden spike only bring good thing for some people and bad thing for someone who bought it at high prices, steady growth is absolutely better than sudden spike.

Same here i also prefer steady growth as im only depending on the higher price of cryptos for me to earn a good profit .

If price were steady , i think we can expect a higher pumped because many people will constantly enter the crypto market if they see a stable growth .

Cryptos can now be an investment tool more than a trading tool but we people can now enjoy our crypto to use for online transactiona like for paying or buying things because we know that we get the correct value for our money .

I think it depends on what kind of holder you are. I'm trader and long term holder as well and I'm torn between bitcoin volatility and steady growth. As trader I prefer a lot of swing every now and then. The swing uphigh this week and the downward movement by end of week but this keeps a lot of people afraid of bitcoin and this will not make adoption easily. As long term holder, a steady growth makes me want to bag every payday and with steady growth, it will be easier to use bitcoin for payment and this will be a huge advantage for crypto market.

While others desire for steady growth which is more advantageous for everyone specially investor and is also good but we can't deny the fact that it would also be good to spike it while in a while for a better profit , but whatever the case maybe Iill to which make me profitable.

It's actually not bad either for stable growth and it's very safe if you invest in these conditions, but I tend to prefer big jumps because it's more profitable for trade and if it's stable it doesn't always go up I mean there is definitely a decline this only makes a profit small but indeed safe for investment. Because the market conditions are different, what I do is to follow the market conditions and adapt to these conditions to make a profit.

Of course, it seems much more positive for the global environment of bitcoin a steady growth, because the high volatility that has characterized it so far has been one of the main arguments against its massive adoption. No person with enough common sense would be willing to sell something of great value as a car or a house for bitcoins, knowing that in the following days his fortune could disappear by 50% or more.

I'm sure everyone will definitely see or want steady growth but in the crypto market I don't think it's possible, even though growth can run fast and steady growth for several weeks to months, but correction will always be there when bitcoin prices are moving upwards. So volatility will definitely continue and I am not sure there will be steady growth in the crypto market. Because the assumption of "steady " is growth which does not contain volatility in it and he will be consistent to increase.

I'd stick with a slow and steady increase in the price of crypto currency rather than a huge spike and huge or a sustained dip throughout the financial year. Also, a slow inctease means a more stable and strong coin than a volatile coin. I just hope we can finally see Bitcoin or any crypto currency be adopted soon.

A steady growth is indeed needed in a state of adoption but we are not still there yet so we still have time to see bitcoin having strong upward strikes. Guys, just let us bitcoin reach its maximum potentail first before we talk about steady growth or force it to be a stable coin.

We have already witnessed a strong upward surge in the price of bitcoin in December last year. Almost a year has passed and we still ask ourselves the question whether bitcoin will recover in price or not. If bitcoin had grown slowly and progressively during this time, there would have been no particular problems, and now the price of bitcoin would be far beyond $ 10,000. I am for a bit of bitcoin volatility with slow overall price growth. This, in my opinion, is the most optimal model that would suit everyone.

I'd rather go for upward spikes because i can profit from it cause it will always have correction reversal to the downtrend than this continues bearish trend that's getting me nowhere and got me stuck for quite a while now. Hope this 2019 is a good new year cause ive read some news about institutional investors investing in digital assets.

I really do not mind either way, as long as I get profits I'm happy, however it is obvious that a more volatile market gives you more chances to make money, so from the point of view of which kind of market gives you more profits it is clear to me that most people would prefer a volatile market even if that means that they will need to take greater risks and that they have greater chances of losing their money as well.

Any of them is good and I’m okay with any one that happens. There is a steady growth and there is also some spikes along the way and you can decide to cash out a little profit from the spikes and continue to HODL as the price continues to grow steady for long term and when it reaches you want, you can withdraw everything. Things are good the way it is I guess, I mean, like that’s how we met it, so I’m good with it.

Nothing wrong if most wants a steady growth, that's how we see the possible thing that will come for bitcoin. For short term people they will choose the strong upward spikes but the opposite outcome of it is the same. Expect big drop with that, we want safe haven like having a steady growth but if the market corrects it won't give significant effect and drops can be minimized.

Characteristic behaivor of an asset in the market is mostly determined by its investors. As you know, most of BTC investors prefer to gain huge amount of profit and this makes BTC open to the speculations. If more institutional investors start to go in BTC market, we will see less fluctiations and peaks.

I will prefer for bitcoin to grow in a more stable manner, people are very afraid to invest in an asset or a currency that moves like bitcoin and this is making the adoption to grow more slowly than it should, I know this gives an advantage to those that are willing to hold and buy bitcoin despite the volatility but it is getting to the point that we could win a lot more if people decided to invest in bitcoin instead of staying on the sidelines.

However I see this as an investor and long term holder I am sure that a trader would see this differently and will like for bitcoin to keep moving the way it does so he can take advantage of the volatility and make a lot of money that way.

I would prefer a steady grow, but it's impossible because of unstable supply and demand of bitcoin, as well as fluctuating interest of crypto investors. I know this pattern is unpopular - traders prefer fluctuations (that's how they make money using the price differences). But I like thinking about bitcoin as a currency and not only the speculative investment.

Without big fluctuations in the price of Bitcoin, we still cannot do. Of course, I would like Bitcoin to grow more slowly and more smoothly, but sometimes with moderate surges in price. Large price fluctuations of Bitcoin harm both Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole.
We can see this in the example of the December increase in the price of Bitcoin to $ 20,000. As a result, the price of Bitcoin fell by 70 percent, and some other cryptocurrencies to 90 percent.

Strong upsurges in bitcoin prices then lead to strong price drops and very long price stagnation. Therefore, it will be better if Bitcoin grows slowly and confidently, but with moderate bursts to revive its trade. If there were no December bursts, Bitcoin would now have a significantly higher price and investors would not be so disappointed with the cryptocurrency market. And most importantly, the Altcoins could calmly and evenly develop and grow, and not lie now for a whole year near Bitcoin.

Yes that is too much important I think. I hope that if bitcoin will continue increasing its price in a steady manner then no doubt that bitcoin price will remain too much stable and we will not see any crash in bitcoin price. I hope that if it will continue increasing with the current price it will be too much good for the market.

Yes, steady growth of bitcoin means that there will be more support and people will trust bitcoin more. Also this will make Bitcoin to be a stable currency and hence more people will adopt it.

We already want sustainable growth of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. We have already seen the consequences of a sharp rise in bitcoin prices. In the end, what did he give? Some managed to sell it at a high price? And nothing more good. Of course, if you do not take into account that at this time almost all altcoins are also.
If bitcoin grew in price more moderately, now for a whole year the market would not be in such deep stagnation. In addition, now he would have a price much higher than its current price and the holders of cryptocurrency would not be in such shock.

Well it is good if the thing that happens is, cryptocurrency become the currency, a worldwide currency. But if it stay as it is today then it would be better if it rise constantly that lead to more investors but then it will result to cryptocurrency being stagnant. All in all both is good for bitcoin.

Of course I will rather choose a strong upward spikes for Bitcoin because surely you will get more profit. Also Bitcoin will not become a steady growth because the demand is rising and surely its will grow even more especially now that Bitcoin is more popular. Beside it will attract to many people to believe, buy and invest in Bitcoin if it has strong upward spike continuously,

What I wanted to see in bitcoin is the organic adoption from users all over the world I dont like the manipulations currently going on in this coin Im confident that if this will happen bitcoin price will soar high and never back again in the lowest price before many people still dont know about bitcoin and how this thing will really help us in many other things. 

I will choose strong upward spikes for Bitcoin because for me it means the rate of people of using it is growing much more. Also upward spike of bitcoin means it becomes more valuable and profitable, that's why many people will get interested. I also like the steady growth if the market is dumping because surely its also falling its price and become have a lowest price, but I know it will recover and rise again.

I think sustainable growth is our future. I doubt that we will ever again see so strong growth as a year ago.
And this is good, both for using cryptocurrency in reality and for investing.
Because you yourself know what ended the last explosive growth.

My mind says that for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency as a whole it will be much better if Bitcoin is slow, without large price spikes. We have already seen why such a surge in December last year led the cryptocurrency market.
However, sometimes such a significant surge still want. Therefore, let the cryptocurrency develop as it turns out. Vseravno we can not affect this process.

We have two groups in bitcoin market, the long term investors and the traders. The steady growth is good for the long term investors while the upward spikes is what the daily traders are happy to see. So we need both of them.

I would rather see the steady growth of this main cryptocurrency. I guess when Bitcoin jumps too high, there is a great probability that it can fall very fast after it. I love stability, and I think, most of the guys love it, too.

No, I never liked the sudden and unstable rise. That just shows the altcoins are still in the state of being exploited and it still has not given its real value. Do you want the market to rebound 20k $ and after a few days its price goes down to 6k $? No one wants that. We should all turn towards a sustainable and lasting value.

I believe that economies can grow highly if there is accelerated rise in the growth of their currencies and same is true for Bitcoin but it has been witnessed that normally when there is a sudden surge in Bitcoin, there comes a downtrend in the value afterwards which remains for long. So consistent and a steady growth rather is an appreciable factor that can boost the trade and the investment as well. Investors like to invest without any risk if there is stability in the values.

This is right. But if we look at the affect of the long term steady growth in Bitcoin, this is something that has so far made millionaires out of those who prefer to take the steady long run growth rather than a momentary spike.

In addition, spike is often followed by a long lasting recession like the current on going recession and results in the devaluation of the portfolios so i do not think it is something for those who intend to spend long years in crypto but rather for those who are here for quick short run profits.

I believe that bitcoin price jumps allow some traders to make a profit, but this negatively affects Bitcoin's reputation, because many large investors do not invest in cryptocurrencies calling volatility a negative characteristic of cryptocurrencies. If there was a constant small increase, it would attract the attention of many new investors.

I am agree, if the price spike, its mean too volatile and the price have high fluctuation. Its better to steady growth because investor more confident on it.

This is true, bursts and growing up are needed, as there are people among bitcoin fans who earn bitcoin in many ways. Although high volatility allows traders to earn money, it can discourage some new investors from buying cryptocurrency because of the fear of reducing its price immediately after purchase.

Yes, but with the advent of new investors, new traders will also come, and traders need volatility and the higher it is, the more they can earn in a specific period of time. Over time, volatility will decrease, but for this to happen, capitalization needs to be increased due to the arrival of new investors.

On the one hand, volatility makes it possible to quickly earn and attract new traders, which contributes to the popularization of Bitcoin. But on the other hand, stable growth will attract investors, which also raises interest and demand for bitcoin.

For me personally, it is more interesting to watch the market when it is volatile and prices jump up and down, and in such circumstances you can make a profit in the short term.

Bitcoin is still manipulated asset, but we might watch another case in the future after regulating it, so we can enter a phase of steady growth that is based only on the supply/demand factor, not pump and dump scheme that hurts the whole Crypto market.

Kind of weird question. Sound like what would you like to have "a straight well maid road, that will allow you to drive 200 mph"  OR  "bumpy forest road that will be completely uncomfortable and finally will kill your suspension and wheels".You must be really experienced trader to work and predict "spikes", believe me it will be much better for you to have a steady risk-free profit.

nowadays, market manipulation can occur, with the lack of cryptocurrency market players, meaning that it is possible to be monopolized. but this will be difficult to happen, if more and more bitcoiners

It depends on how the cryptocurrency market looks. Now, the continually declining cryptocurrency market needs continued strong growth. For example, a 10%-20% increase every day, so there will be a large number of investors to enter, which is hard to imagine for whales. As far as I know, many people are studying cryptocurrencies this year because of the myth that Bitcoin created last year, but they all became viewers.

For me, having its value on a spike or the quality of being highly volatile is still the better option for me, having this quality means I would be able to play may money and earn profit on my own. Having a steady growth is fine as well, and I can see many investors being happy with it, but I would choose the highly volatile bitcoin.

I like the current price stability, maybe this is my chance to start doing an investment in Bitcoin, at least the current situation will give me more time to learn and understand this investment, so when there will be price fluctuations or high jumps I already know what steps I have to take, at least I will not be confused anymore and minimize my mistakes in making decisions
 

I would rather see a slow and steady growth rather than a strong upward spike. We all witnessed the insane parabolic rise which happened during some time in November to December 2017 and we all know what followed through. We are still experiencing the effect of the hype until now but the stable current price of BTC shows a strong support which is a good and healthy sign in the crypto market.

I know you like stability and safety but we will need a very long time to get the profit we want, I do not think everyone has the patience to wait, most people will like the strong spike, although this can bring a lot of side effects after it's over but we will definitely get very quick profits. And then we can withdraw from this market if we want, in your case, everything can slowly come up and stabilize but I can not know when it can reach its peak, people will be very upset with that, typically the current situation, too slow

Steady growth will be a lot more convenient if what we want is to attract long term investors and we want that businesses begin to use bitcoin as a form of payment but it is my belief that what we are going to see this more of the same, bitcoin is going to remain stagnant for some time and then it is going to skyrocket and then it is going to crash periodically.

People must understand the fact that bitcoin is volatile, and it happens to be powerful source just because of this one feature. Remove this one nature of bitcoin and see the clumsy results.

Bitcoin can function just as well, if not better without the high volatility, it would remove a lot of people who are only here to speculate on wild price swings, most of those people couldn't care less about bitcoin's future and are only concerned with short term wealth.

Those people are not going to leave the market even if the volatility was very low, because in what other market they can invest money without revealing their identities and where there are almost no rules and make money that way? Most other markets are very regulated and many of the things that people do in this market are illegal in those markets so they are not going to leave even with the lesser volatility.

I think people still prefer the votality of bitcoin or cryptocurrencies because we already know about the concept of cryptocurrencies existence,the votality gives traders a chance to have huge profit and people will took this opportunity when it will spike to its highest level but i think the steady growth has its advantage also
where merchants can have peace of mind to use it as a mode of payments and the fears that it would eradicate cryptocurrencies or bitcoin will lost because of its steady growth.

For me strong and continuous upwards movement would mean strong downwards movement which would be prone to more loss because you will be more attracted to buy when the coin is up and if you are not careful then you will end up at a loss due to volatility and mostly businesses does not want the volatility because they will not be able to account properly if they are having profits, although we are all excited about sudden spikes when it goes up, we would worry when it goes down because there would be large percentage movements which would have bigger profits or losses.

if I am a trader, then I prefer the fluctuations in the price of bitcoin, because we also need a decrease in the price of bitcoin to buy, and wait for the price to increase to sell.
whereas if I am an investor in the long run, I prefer the development of prices that continue to increase so that I will benefit a lot.
Apart from all that, I only hope that bitcoin will still be present and provide benefits, because until now the price of bitcoin is still in the expected stage.

We know that a decentralized cryptocurrency can never be stable in price. Therefore, this discussion has no practical significance.
 Cryptocurrency volatility has its positive and negative sides. For traders and cryptocurrency holders in general, who will periodically use the volatility of cryptocurrency for its sale or purchase, it brings a good profit. However, in almost all other cases, the volatility of cryptocurrency plays a negative role, above all in its legalization by states and the introduction of citizens and business structures into the practical life of citizens.

I think much better that bitcoin is slowly to grow but sure that we get a good price than to immediately grow then it will fall very fast.  And bitcoin is decentralize so the price will not be stable it will grow and go down but not steady.

if you already know it's one of the characteristics of bitcoin, why do you expect bitcoin to grow slowly?
The price movement of Bitcoin will never be stable, which is why many parties continue to suppress the growth of bitcoin, with the aim of making profits for themselves

Yeah, its too scary now to see bitcoin pumping easily because for sure that trend is being manipulated by the whales again and maybe there is no real investors that time.

I just want to see bitcoin growing slowly but surely because I know in the future cryptocurrency will be great so there is no need for us to rush things. This is a process, a long development and in due time good technology will be offer to us and the value of bitcoin will be high.

I prefer volatility and strong upward surges. because if the value of bitcoin is stable only experiences an increase or decrease of 5% then I think this will be the same as a stock investment. even though I hope the crypto market is different from the stock market. I am of the opinion that the crypto market can provide greater benefits because of its volatility. and I think most people are interested in the crypto market because this volatility is great for short-term investments and trading. and if bitcoin is stable we can still make a profit by making long-term investments.

It is a very dangerous thing for us to be having the sudden price spikes. Every such spike will result in massive selling off or dump. There, steady increase is better.

Stable growth in bitcoin will attract investors to invest in the long term. and also if the bitcoin value is stable bitcoin can be used for shipping tools. so far, bitcoin is only used for investment and trading tools because of its volatility.
but I think the stability or volatility of both can provide benefits. we only need to wait and be patient if we make a long-term investment in bitcoin.

rising prices are slowly stronger than rising sharply and falling again, maybe traders are more challenged if prices start wild because we can attract a lot of profits, because prices do not always rise, sometimes prices must experience a saturation point and a decline, trade currencies bitcoin needs motivation that can increase purchases in large quantities,  so that the market can grow quickly.

It is not dangerous, the word there to be used is risky.

It is really risky if you invested in a volatile cryptocurrency and it is having sudden price spikes all of a sudden. The price will pump, the moment you know it, investors starts selling off theirs to earn their profit and the process will continue. I think that is the same with Bitcoin in the past the reason it has its spikes and dumps. I do like the steady growth like other assets or investments, you know it is reliable since the price is increasing even though it is slow.
