i think for me, i will still hold my bitcoin no matter if the price is volatile or not because i read about bitcoin value in future that will always increase from time to time. i think its normal if we see that the price in the market is change every days and no one will know the time is up or down. but if i have more money and i see that the price is down to deep, i will buy more bitcoin again and i only hold it in my wallet for future. i'd rather to wait for the price than to sell it for now because if i do this, my profit is only small.

There are a people who still to hold their coins even the price is pumping up like now, this type of people believes the price keep raising up everytime and it's benefit to hold for long term. But, there are a people who sell their coins if get X% from their initial capitals. Which one are you?
However, you could sell half of Bitcoin and keep the rest if you were not sure enough.

If you believe that bitcoin will be even more expensive in the future, volatility today does not matter to you. Just buy, stack it away and hope bitcoin prize will be truly high in the future. If you keep on tracking its volatility, you will just have headaches.

In my own opinion, bitcoin price lately is been volatile. Actually it was since that its price is fluctuating, we cant predict actually its price. Maybe later will drop and pump, just hold some of your bitcoin for sure you will earn profit for this.

With the price of Bitcoin being so volatile should we ever consider buying or even holding if we have bitcoins?

What are your thoughts??? What should we do??

As it stands today at this moment, the Bitcoin volatility index reads:
4.57% the latest 30-day volatility estimate
3.54% the latest 60-day volatility estimate

The bitcoin volatility index for present day can be seen at: https://btcvol.info/

My opinion of bitcoin longterm can be investigated here in this post titled "Hacks & puppets & forks - how to destroy bitcoin": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1834310.0

Update about one-week later;
As it stands today at this moment, the Bitcoin volatility index reads:
4.99% the latest 30-day volatility estimate
3.85% the latest 60-day volatility estimate

Bitcoin has been the best financial asset to own. Forget stocks, bonds, real estate, gold, oil, altcoins.

Still recommend reading "Hacks & puppets & forks - how to destroy bitcoin": https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1834310.0

Reduces the grown now but still hold me because I know that much higher
Very well said, and I'd like to second this.  I'd like very much to reduct my grown now and be much higher profit with trading and gambling and price up & down.

Did I get the shitposting part of that correct?

As to OP:  grow a fucking nutsack, you stretchmark-lipped mongoloid.  Volatility is part of this whole game, and if you can't stomach it--and can't profit from said volatility--you're playing the wrong game.  You need a plastic bat and a soft, harmless plastic ball tethered to a pole, and you can play that one from your backyard with a helmet on.

Volatility of BTC has nothing to do with holding it. If you buy/hold Bitcoins for long term, then it is mandatory to ignore the fear of price increase and decrease. And Bitcoin generally has potential, so just hold it and ignore the up and down when you think of your holdings. And sell it when you reach your target price.

The price of Bitcoin will be volatile forever, so if we want to invest for the long term
is really a good way to make bitcoin. I think holding some Bitcoin for future is surely be profitable.

I'm going to be straight with you.

I do like bitcoins but the price thing really makes me afraid. So usually buy/accept BTC whenever the price is lower than 1k and wait till it rise up again.
I didn't earn that much as I was still scared but hey it's not bad. Actually a lot of ppl got into bitcoins cuz of the potential it has to earn from exchange rates like these.

I don't know whether you should keep them or change to fiat as I read a topic around here about splitting bitcoins into two new coins or smth ? chinese and normal ? idk really.

why do you say "forever". because to be honest i can't see any reason why bitcoin can not reach more popularity, a bigger market and some bigger exchanges so that the price becomes less affected by the news and as a result becomes more stable.

and this IS happening anyways. for example you can compare it with 2013. by that time it was so volatile that price went from $200 to $1100 (450%) in only one month. or before that there was another big rise that i forgot, i think it was from $4 to $20 (400%) or something like that. but we can't see any of that anymore.

Price of bitccoin won't volitile forever once its holders get widespread. Holding and buying more when volitality occur, is the effective way in taking the advantage of volitality.

yeah , you are right mate , Here I will say somewhat same like this .
Here I will say if you already hold the bitcoin then keep the bitcoin in your wallet Because in the current month the price of the bitcoin will not ho jump Because here is no one reason to get fluctuate more .
So here you just need to keep your bitcoin in your wallet and wait for the month .
Here I am thinking that the price of the bitcoin will go down according to the fork ( I don't know what the actually is but it will give birth to another coin BTU)

Because I see, every year the price of Bitcoin surely will be increased,
yeah it's price for long term not for short term, we can see that between
last year to this year, Yes for now the price of Bitcoin will be stable, but I think it's just briefly.

Volatility seem to be the reason people started using bitcoin anyway. From what I heard, some make a profit out of it. Sure the price changes are unpredictable but if you got it right you can make money.

Volatility matters to those that are looking to trade the price swings. If you're only interested in holding your coins for the long term, then you shouldn't care about the volatility at all. I was a pure holder more than a year ago, which at that time I absolutely didn't care about the volatility. Nowadays I do care about the volatility as there are some decent money making opportunities, and thus I have combined holding and trading to get best of both worlds.

That's right hold majority of them for future but try to invest few of them in trading which will give you regular profits in quick time and it will also grow the number of coins and holding is good only if you have huge volume of coins in your wallet.

Yeah, I'm doing like that my Bitcoin hold for future, But some of my Bitcoin I used to altcoin trading,
not trading bitcoin. Because the trading bitcoin is very slowly the price movements in the market,
in contrast to trading altcoin. Also the bitcoin Trading needed a large capital than trading altcoin.

That is because bitcoin is more stable than altcoins which are extremely volatile compared to it. Volatility can both give negative and positive

situations. Either you go to investment or trading volatility can create losses or winnings. As for me I take advantage of this. I hold a portion of my

bitcoins for a long term investment and also doing altcoin trading.

Yes and to make profits from bitcoin trading you also need to wait for a long time and you also don't know whether price will go higher or lower in coming days but in altcoin you can make good profits even with a small capital and price pumps and dumps is very common in altcoin so you can make short term profits.

I would just add that anybody who wants to hold should just do that with hope. Because whether you hold or sell, you are not the only one as if anything is going to happen, its happening to several people who cuts across several places of the world. In addition to that, I am sure those who held in the past also are not sure of the future but did it with hope which paid of.
