Can Bitcoin Volatility Be Controlled?

[ajmapalo22]

Volatility cannot be controlled but if bitcoin value will be set like how USD are being valued I think bitcoin can be controlled. But before that to happen it will need enough time so that the market of bitcoin can be analized well it will took I think 3 - 5years but for now we cannot control volatility of bitcoin.

No. Volatility can't be controlled this is the side effect of unregulated market only the supply and the demand controls the price although bitcoin and cryptomarket isn't widely recognized by most of us even here in my country bitcoin isn't known here so, i think that bitcoin will reach stability if more users are engaged in bitcoin and the marketcap is big as gold marketcap.

As long as there are whales who dominate the market, i don't think the volatility can be controlled. They can dictate the market, thus making the market more volatile. New bitcoin users increasing day by day. When we will have steady amount of users, the price might also go less volatile.

The volatility of Bitcoin is the same as the volatility of Fiat in the forex market, the difference is that Bitcoin only has volatility more frequently than the Fiat.

The volatility has a tendency to balance when more people have bitcoin.

They are as factor helps the price crypto on market going to their trend. Just creating some news make trader on market fearing or interesting, they can "control" the volatility on market easy

Yes I agree and there's no such other reasons behing this discussions and to think why bigger whales really taking control of this, I think that market can be dictated by those bigger investor la who were the bigger whales. That's already an actual scenarion that new btc users increased but they had weaker hands and a panic sellers who couldn't control their emotions bythe time price volatility is happening already.

There have been more than a hundred coins that have come out where the developer completely control the price completely control The Exchange points at completely controlled everything with that going, and no one wanted that going because all of that control was with the developer. The same as basically true with the side token, the control is being placed within the token and within the exchange between the side token and the parent token, but it's basically a compromise between the outside token that's price controlled by the exchanges, and the side token who's price is supposedly a reflection of that other price in a less volatile environment.

volatility of bitcoin cannot be controlled because bitcoin is a decentralized currency and the market is not that stable when it comes on buy and sell . you can't predict what's on the mind of big whales that's why bitcoin wouldn't be stable some how. bitcoin is now is not made to be like that but somehow bitcoin and us user adapt it from the bottom of our heart we didn't know that bitcoin could actually grow like the price right now. im glad that i have enough knowledge on bitcoin.

Volatility of bitcoin is very difficult to be controlled because bitcoin is not in approach of someone. But I think may be it come into control after some era because technology based knowledge has not been ended. You are right that prediction about this very is also very confused. But currently it is looking very much clear that volatility of bitcoin is difficult to be controlled at the same time it is highly beneficial to lots of people who engage into trading.

The volatility situation with Bitcoin will not improve until we have more mature investors in the space. the fact is that it's mostly kids trading these assets, or novice investors that aren't trained, and it shows. You don't see this much volatility with gold or most stocks: that is because those are institutional investors. They went to school to trade, and it makes a difference.  until the general level of education amongst traders improves, this will be a feature of the Bitcoin price and most other cryptos. Uncertainty.

Too many whales in the market will make the market full with manipulation. The volatility can be controlled just using pump the price of the coin that makes those newbies feel want to join on the incorrect time such as in the middle of the pump. That gives the more opportunity for the whales to dump it just in a second. The market activities can't be determined.

High volatility is the issue,  volatility of bitcoins makes it unique from other currencies and it is attractive feature as business point of view. Volatility can be controlled if we have a stable market of bitcoin (which is in fact not possible due to its characteristics in my point of view)

We can't control volatility since it is decentralized and demand is hard to predict. Some countries planning on implementing it can make its value really high. Stable market can only happen in short period of time and can change as fast that we don't even noticed.

What about users who have millions of bitcoins in their wallets? Can not that make the bitcoin market fluctuate if the user is doing something like selling or buying? While the bitcoin market today is still very easy and vulnerable to manipulation with issues and big players?

Sorry to say that, but this is complete bullshit

Crude oil markets are as institutionalized as it is ever possible to become, but they still see insane volatility at times (in fact, oftentimes) which is quite comparable to that of Bitcoin (in relative terms). Obviously, it has nothing to do with novice or experienced investors or traders. This is real economy at work here (you could even say realpolitik). This is the same with Bitcoin, and Bitcoin volatility simply reflects the (lack of) real economy behind it

I have read some posts and some concerns that it is the volatility of Bitcoin that is preventing many people and many businesses to fully adopt Bitcoin. This can be the main factor why big online shopping stores are not yet adding Bitcoin into their payment facilities (though there is now a circulated petition for this but I doubt if it can make a dent).

Some are really saying that if volatility can be managed then we can see Bitcoin going mainstream. I am wondering then: Is volatility something that we should find a way to control and how do you think it can be done?

I think the only way that volatility can be managed is if bitcoin is being used by more people where there is less control of the few to dictate the price. This will not happen in the near future as bitcoin is still a very young currency and still in its development stage. But as years go by and more people are able to use it, the price is going to reach a point where it will stabilize and only minor movements are to be seen.

I agree with you on this issue of volatility. i am hoping that years from now Bitcoin can really go mainstream and that its volatility gets stable. Though we should not get impatient as Bitcoin is still a young currency and it is still undergoing an evolutionary process. One day Bitcoin can be near perfection that is why miners and developers should decide not just based on their self-vested interests but also think of the greater interests of many small Bitcoin holders.

No. Volatility can't be controlled this is the side effect of unregulated market only the supply and the demand controls the price although bitcoin and cryptomarket isn't widely recognized by most of us even here in my country bitcoin isn't known here so, i think that bitcoin will reach stability if more users are engaged in bitcoin and the marketcap is big as gold marketcap.

I've seen that supply and demand can be manipulated by someone who has a large capital in the bitcoin market If fluctuations depend on supply and demand. It means that fluctuations can be controlled by someone who has the power to manipulate supply and demand, isnt it ?

this is only my opinion
i think if somehow many people who has a large capital merge into 1 group that has 50-70% of bitcoin and start to cooperate, i think they can control the fluctuation.

Yeah I agree with you, fluctuations will not be controlled because fluctuations occur and change it will depend on supply and demand. You know supply and demand will depend on the user and it also can not be controlled. Fluctuations may fade and start to stabilize when marketcap is very large

I am not sure but my answer is no. The volatility of the bitcoin can't be controlled by anyone. The value of the bitcoin is always changing and no one can controlled it. I think there is no way to control the volatility of bitcoin.

I think it would be wrong for all bitcoiners if bitcoin price fluctuations get stopped because most of the people are making money from the fluctuations only .
Here fluctuations are the big role who playing a important role to make the fluctuations in the market of cryptocurrency , We can see that with the small fluctuations the price of the altcoins get fluctuate more And that gave us the opportunity to make earnings through buy and sell and make profit .
But still if you are thinking that to control in the volatility will be better for the bitcoin then think that what will be new in bitcoin ( after payment ) in comparison of fiat currency .
Here most of the bitcoiners don't want to be anonymous or want earn money with privacy ,but most of them want to make money publicly , Which is possible through the fluctuations only .

Bitcoin isn't the currency to be used in the industries or shopping mall. It's high tech chain of blocks containing sensitive information yet very secure in the public.

the volatility of Bitcoin that is preventing many people and many businesses to fully adopt Bitcoin

Th volatility is the reason it is giving out us profits from investments and trades that we open up. If bitcoin value gets stabilised then on what you will put your stakes. There won't be any reason to do this and bitcoin will collapse because then there won't be any difference between gold and bitcoin and other stuff in the market.

It's better be volatile man!

[Bone Collector]

I don't think of any main factors that controls the price of bitcoin, the surge and dump of its price is uncontrollable or unpredictable. Bitcoin is different from alternate currencies its so special and its a masterpiece, Maybe the only thing that can be control over bitcoin is ownership or volume that holders have but not the price actually.
