Why does the pound gets marked as "more volatile than Bitcoin"? GBP crashed from over $1.40 to around $1.32 last month, and is now slightly below the $1.30 level. In terms of GBP it's indeed quite volatile, but it doesn't come even close to Bitcoin's volatility.
It was nearly $1.50 actually, so the movement was ~13%. But what Independend did, was to cherry-pick 10 day period when BTC was relatively stable, it would look much different if they used longer period.
That makes sense. Somehow when it comes to Bitcoin, news sites over-look things, try to make Bitcoin look bad, make it seem Bitcoin is just a shady ponzi scheme, or in this case provide a different/twisted view that is far away from the reality. We'll probably never get rid of this...
