Can Bitcoin Volatility Be Controlled?

[Xember]

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?

It can't because bitcoin valatolity depends on marjet demand and investors. People can't be controlled if they need to buy or sell because each of us has needs and wants. The reason why bitcoin price drops is just because people sell their bitcoin or dump it. Bitcoin price rise again because btcoin holdera are taking advantage of bitxiin price drop.

On an individual scale, Bitcoin volatility risk can be managed, by using derivatives. Interestingly, the existence of derivatives markets itself contributes to the reduction of volatility on the overall market.

On the macro scale, besides derivatives markets growth, and deepening the liquidity of spot exchanges, not much can be done. So, in speculators we trust :-)

I don't think that's even possible because Bitcoin market is somehow related to the stock market. Even though they are two different things, but still if you can find a way to minimize how to prevent the violation of the price then that means there is even a slightest chance that you can control the share market price too.

If someone has dollars worth 50% of the market cap of bitcoin he could surely control the volatility somehow. But I personally do not see why the volatility of bitcoin prevents many businesses from using it as they can exchange the received bitcoin instantly with for example BitPay. And online shops or services can also use an interface that automatically adjusts the bitoin price.

It cant be controlled because the people who are in the market are not up for control. However when bitcoin hits a point lets say 25k a coin then after that point perhaps it may be more stable due to the price and how much $

is in the market. This is what provides stability other than having outright control of all participants in the market 

[chickenfried12]

how you can do that ? i dont know but some ones  play big games we know did you see today how much 6900 to 7450 volume  it is not like a control it will be like a crazy monkey to climb the mountains

[bitbunnny]

This is kind a crazy question. If the volatility could be controled then it wouldn't be any, right? So, no, it can't be controlled. But it's not good to mix volatility and control of the market, which I think it's possible in a way, because these are two different things. But for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies different rules are valid compared to fiat currencies and it's not good to make the comparisons.

If bitcoin gets the status of a fiat currency and they are traded on exchanges, the volatility of the exchange rate will decrease.

Its impossible, if Bitcoin volatility can be can controlled, then for sure it has been stabilized few years ago and why would you want to control such thing, this traits is what makes Bitcoin really good.

[keenjester]

Yes , you can control it if you have more than 80% Bitcoin in the world, the price will go down or up depend on your decision. Selling it will down the price, buying it will up the price.

I think it cant be controled because it's impossible to keep the price volatilitys. It's connected to a market and that's why it cant be controlled, traders make the price of this coin

You are right, it can't be controlled and I would be worried if it could, because that would mean that price manipulation as easy to do. Of course that although it can't be controlled on purpose, it is supposed to go away as we get more people using it, and more liquidity in the market. If there is a lot of liquidity, it's hard to influence the market, and the volatility itself should go away.

Gold was very volatile in the beginning as well, so the same should happen with BTC. Also, as soon as the true value of BTC is understood, and everyone can point it out, it will be more hard to speculate with it, so that will contribute to less volatility as well.

I think it can't be controlled. Bitcoin is naturally volatile. Fluctuations are always expected since its market value only depends on the demand that it is getting from the market. And since the demand can't be controlled such that it changes everytime, same thing happens on its price.

Sometimes, the Bitcoin volatility still needs to creates by someone has money enough to control the market. Therefore, we have the whales, they are controlling the Bitcoin price and other markets, they are people have many money as billionaire

I don't think the volatility of bitcoin is controllable and at the first place, it was the feature of bitcoin that brought great popularity on it. The volatility of bitcoin is a good thing for money since having this gives them a chance to have their earnings grow more over time. If you are too desperate to control it, you should have first great money in order to have an account to hold it.

Bitcoin will not be so famous if it wasn't with the help of its value's volatility. It is one of the main thing that keeps attracting more and more people to go do bitcoin everyday. Although it sometimes cause disappointments, the volatility still bring us good outcome whenever the value is rising. If we are going to keep on believing and supporting bitcoin, the value will surely grow and that is how we should control bitcoin's volatility.

I don't think so when there are still some centralized qualities among miners or other big holders such as hedge funds with Bitcoins, in fact bitcoin is slowly becoming a type of digital assets that was used for frequently by businessmen to move big funds unnoticed to another party, that's further justify big online shopping stores wouldn't integrating bitcoin payment as any formal payment facilities.

The biggest problem is not just about volatility, sometimes volatility is good for business to earn more but i think the lack of serious users, high fees and transaction is the main reason here, if Bitcoin doesn't improve in the recent year i think another crypto would took over it's position as a more community friendly crypto payment solution.

The fact is that to date there are some opportunities to influence the pricing of Bitcoin. If some users throw a large amount of Bitcoin onto the market and at the same time demand is less than the Supply, then the price falls. Of course this does in order to purchase Bitcoin at a cheap price.

They are the whale, those people want to drop the price of Bitcoin with the amount of Bitcoin they have bought in the past.
They want to dump the Bitcoin price to help them control the market and margin trading with short position, then buy back with profits from short and long to make the Bitcoin price increases.
