Bitcoin's price is so volatile right now! Why should I even hold?

[LodisMcguire]

I got no time to watch the market every day and wait for the timing to make profit.I prefer buying and hold then wait for the price to reach all time high.If you got time to be a day trader,maybe it's beneficial for you,but we don't know where the price will move because it's volatility.

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

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

Bitcoin price is so volatile, that is why you should hold and it is called investment, with risky of course. holding bitcoin can make you gain big profit. You don't hold gold or dollars to gain profit. Gold or Dollars is a saving for your life due to its stable value, while holding bitcoin is a business. you don't need to analyze anything to hold gold or dollars.

This is a chicken and egg situation. For bitcoin's price to stabilize, a large scale economy needs to develop with more businesses and users. For a large scale economy to develop, businesses and users will seek for price stability.
Fortunately, volatility does not affect the main benefits of Bitcoin as a payment system to transfer money from point A to point B. It is possible for businesses to convert bitcoin payments to their local currency instantly, allowing them to profit from the advantages of Bitcoin without being subjected to price fluctuations. Since Bitcoin offers many useful and unique features and properties, many users choose to use Bitcoin. With such solutions and incentives, it is possible that Bitcoin will mature and develop to a degree where price volatility will become limited.

What I know of the World of Cryptocurrency is indeed very volatile. The price of all coins can change in a very fast time. So I'm not surprised if the value of Bitcoin always fluctuates. I still hold the coins I have because I believe these coins have a good future and the price can be high. I believe Bitcoin and all Altcoin will last for a long time.

The decision to sell or hold is not exactly for us to say. Since bitcoin is very volatile in nature, the choice to either sell or hold would be up to you because only you will be the one who will give the last call for the options...

Fluctuation is the most factor of bitcoin has ,we hodl our bitcoin because we think for better future and we believe on the possibilities may happen towards the future. Although, the transactions is so much risky the important we put some investment to have chances to gain enormous profit.

Right bitcoin is best because it has fluctuating nature and it use to move in price, if the price will remain same for long time then it will not be high forever, it is the only fluctuation which makes it different and change, bitcoin price is now rising which is attracting a lot of people for bitcoin, for me bitcoin is unique currency that never remain same for long time, price get down so high amount of people become able  to buy bitcoin then they hold till the price become high so holding with patience is the key for success.

The exchange rates have dropped by as much as 30% during the last 2-3 weeks, partly due to the tough competition with Ether. But my opinion is that, you should hold your coins, and if possible buy more. Ether is just an inflated balloon. No one knows when it is going to crash.

Is this an ethereum naked ball with its present price of 400-500 dollars? A bitcoin with a price of 7800 dollars is not an inflated ball? I do not think that bitcoin, with its current shortcomings, which do not even allow us to use bitcoin as an ordinary means of payment, is fifteen or more times better ethereum. Ethereum is now much more useful than bitcoin and performs much more functions. If bitcoin did not swell in its bubble last December, now, maybe there would not have been such a problem with the general fall of the crypto-currency market for the fourth month already.

although the bitcoin price is so volatile, it is good for us to try to make some profit because when we see the price is down, sometimes it's down too deep so if we can buy at the lower price, we have a good chance to sell at the high price. I am sure that there are many people trying to buy and sell the bitcoin because they know that they can use their chance to get bitcoin for a low price. besides, if the price is not getting up higher, they can hold it for a while until the price is up again.

[Dudeperfect]

I can understand your concern but even though we have Bitcoin since last 9+ years, I would say that it is still in the development phase and we don't have that maturity yet to deal with the market volatility. Being a payment medium, the stability of value is a crucial part but I don't think that we will have it until the mass maturity is achieved. On the other hand, with the growing user base and limited supply, the price is expected to rise over the time. In that case, hodling is not wrong through investment point of view.

It depends on the personal preference of someone if you believe in something then you should invest in it.
By a chance, you did not invest into something and after a few years the price of that thing is skyrocketing then it will be more painful compared to If you have invested into something and have lost a portion of your money.

The whole point of holding for the long term is to protect yourself from the variations in the short term of the market, you must remember that all the losses that you got are only paper losses they do not materialize until you sell, this is the way in which holding protects you, but no one obligates you to hold if you want to sell and get out of the market your free to do so.

Bitcoin also known by its volatile/changes of price. Even though it doesn't remain in its price we should still keep holding our Bitcoin account it's because we do a lot of effort and we spent time to make it possible. We can still used it by many chances,when the price getting up we can sell it to a higher amount,but when the price getting down we can keep an hold it until the price getting up again.

I can't imagine a cryptocurency market without the volatility    
Bro  that is what make it fun and  give lot of opportunities  to make money  if you trade it well     but  since you  wrote this message in 2017  i hope we learnt our lesson  cuz you can obviously say that those who hold are the biggest winners  since  btc hit  its all time  high  few months after your message  

[Masongrae]

Its not bad to hold it. Being volatile is an advantage to have bitcoin which is when the price is down, its a chance to buy and add more of your bitcoin and have something to hold and make it grow when bitcoin's price will go up again and may mulltiply your bitcoin

[green_fish]

BTC price is not stable because many people are trading BTC!

Most BTC hopes BTC will make a good profit!

BTC is the cornerstone of digital cryptocurrency!

[roomboy85]

It's not bad to hold your bitcoin even we know the price of it is volatile, and also I think it's not bad to hold your bitcoin or any cryptocurrency because in this kind of strategy you will make a good profit.

[maydna]

and if you can buy at the lower price, it is worth to hold bitcoin and only sell when it reaches the highest price. but if you cannot buy at the lower price, then you cannot do this because you don't want to see your bitcoin decrease your money. there are many people still want to hold their bitcoin because they know that the price will increase although its so volatile right now and they don't care about this. the longer they can hold, they can make a big profit in the future so they don't think that to hold bitcoin is only a waste of time.

While many assume that the current volatility in the market only happens in cryptocurrencies that is not the truth this happens in any new market that has such a revolutionary technology, however the reason that volatility is even greater in bitcoin is simply that bitcoin is not your average invention, it's a currency as well and that adds even more volatility to it.

I think the same like you I always take the bitcoin volatility positively as I know o cam earn very high in bitcoin if I will use it properly and I will buy it at the time of low price and hold till it get high and then I sell whine the price become very high, with time bitcoin is holding by me  and I know it will be the only way that I will earn high but if I will sell it on panic I will not get anything, price of bitcoin is increasing so buy right now and hold soon we will see price pumping very high for sure.
