Can Bitcoin Volatility Be Controlled?

[icimicimesigmiyor]

Bitcoin is dont have any center ofc cant volatility

[Doell]

Volatility of bitcoin and cryptocurrency cannot be controlled. In my view very few altcoins volatility were controlled just because of the team that's behind it. Some provide fake price moves to profit out of it, if the system functions in a decentralized state the volatility can't be kept under control. At times manipulation happens with the big Volume holders.

lol yes i agree , the decentralization itself pointed in bitcoin/cryptocurrency to avoid any regulation applied by one sided, controled by some groups only , people who dreaming about financial freedom will surely choose to move to use bitcoin or any other cryptocurrencies.

it is a pretty clear answer nobody can control the volatility.

thats reality,the design of cryptocurrencies is to secure and give freedom to any individual that part of this community,decentralization of bitcoin includes its volatility to be uncontrollable and thats why were growing because of that settings.and it will continue until bitcoin or crypto gone for good

It is a characteristic of the uncontrollable bitcoin ,including market volatility ,someday may be controlled if mining is over maybe ,we look ahead to whether it can be controlled and its probably small because many want to grow business within cryptocurency

It cannot be controlled because the whole market is fully decentralized and when we are talking about decentralization then it means that there is no chance for anyone even the most powerful person to control the volatility or the possible things that might happen in the market or even the whole market, they cannot control it because it is fully decentralized and dependable on the demand.

How can you stop people from buying things? I don't think there's no way. You can buy all the bitcoins but of course there will be a couple of coins left. You're just going to make the market even more volatile by doing so because there will be much lesser bitcoins in circulations. Thus, people will be playing with an even smaller number of coins. By increasing the amount of bitcoin in exchange, then the volatility might change a bit but honestly if there's too much hype, then there's too much hype. You can't really do anything about it anymore. You can only watch the price go up and down especially now that new whales are coming in and they are many.

If the volatility of bitcoin is preventing you or any other individual to adopt bitcoin, then bitcoin is simply not for you. This is never going to have a stable price unless all of the fiat have been converted to bitcoins or all bitcoins have been dumped and it has zero value (and maybe even at that point there will still be people buying bitcoin just because).

I think that if bitcoin will concentrate in hands of small group, it won't ve so
attractive as now. Nowadays everybody can buy as many BTC as need, market hasn't problems with bitcoin operations. But if there will be group of holders and some coins in circulation — BTC will die. IMHO...

As of now it would be very difficult to manage the volatility of bitcoin because the limit of 21 million has not been reached yet. On top of that this is an unregulated currency which makes it even more difficult to manage the volatility because anyone can just buy a huge quantity and then sell all at once to drop the price. So tight regulations may help control the volatility.

We can't controlled bitcoin by its volatility because no ones person behind this cryptocurrency it rise the volume by helping other coins. I think bitcoin now is an stable situation it serves many transactions to the users. The decentralization of this makes more stronger coins and not controlled by any one.

[Astvile]

we cant control the volatility of bitcoin since it is decentralized, unlike fiat, it cant controlled by the government. bitcoin's volatility is based on the people that demand and the supply it gets, and we cant control these people. if we cant control the demand, then we cant control the price and the volatility of it.

When bitcoin can be traded on stock exchanges, its volatility will decrease. Rich players are not profitable fluctuations in prices in a wide range.

We can only just keep predicting what could happen but we can never know where the price will fall to and which is what makes the whole idea of decentralization interesting. Bitcoin is not controlled by anyone and even with the whales holding a lot of cash on them to create an impact on the value, there is just so little they can do as they also try to do it to see if they can make some profit, which with the market cap, it is getting more difficult by the day.

We really do not need any tight regulation on the volatility which is more like you calling out for centralization, over time, when people understand the real value of bitcoin and then we end up seeing a lot of people in dire need to use bitcoin with a huge market cap, we would hardly see some of these controls by whales anymore.

That is the correct point here. We need to control the demand in order to control the volatility and that is why it is very hard for other people to control the price of bitcoin because they can't control the demand. There is no possibility for bitcoin to be controlled on its volatility because of its being a decentralized currency.

The reason why bitcoin get high volatility is that many people lack understanding of the technology behind bitcoin, so they get FUD easily. I believe when bitcoin has become well-understood financial assets the price will stabilize. good things is bitcoin volatility decrease every year and at 2016 bitcoin almost as volatile as oil.

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?

Well I don't think we have the ability to control its volatility instead maybe we can affect the rise and the fall of price in some ways. Usually, some unfotunate events are the ones that causes the dumps with bitcoin while sometimes, it is the demand that makes bitcoin's value get pumped up. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency which clearly says that it is not under the control of anybody instead it is free from everything which makes it volatile.

If I don't think anyone can control bitcoin, but I also don't know for sure. But if we have a lot of money I think we can expect to control bitcoin.
Technology or increase and decrease in bitcoin prices.

[setupbounds]

No, unless government tries to take control. Government would mostly stamp a lot of taxes in here when they try to take control of something that isn't centralized. They would control its price by selling all Bitcoins they got from taxes.

That’s not true, I don’t see anyway tax can reduce volatility rate. Yes, Bitcoin is determined by the rate of investment that’s being made by people, but it’s not just only that, I believe there is something more. They devs plays the major, and sets the rate at which volatility stays.

Take a look at Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash– Ethereum has a bigger market cap than BCH but Bitcoin Cash has higher price rate and is more volatile than Ethereum. So Investment rate is not the only thing that has a role to play here. There’s something more.

We can never controll bitcoin volatility.And it is about the investors and the users that make bitcoin a high or on a low price.As long as it is widely used by people then it will stay volatile.

[mOgliE]

Large institutions, governments and major economic actors are not inclined to see the bitcoin grow... just because it does not serve their own interests.

Through bitcoin, you cannot hide your transactions anymore. Evrything is written and can be followed. And as it is "written" (coded) by many at the same time, you cannot buy/threat the actors so that your operation disappears. And this, is not compatible with they way they operate.

The question of volatility is a fake problem. They do not care about volatility, they even play on t. I mean, we have seen the effects of the subprime crisis and today, banking by-products are worse than ever, trading is made at crazy rates with any products... Volatility is their main business.

But bitcoin cannot be as what has been made cannot be hidden or deleted.

Volatility doesn't only corresponds on those people who do panic sell when theres a FUD which it do simply being traded by the community and the demand do rise up high. Its just a matter of profit taking and being traded why its price is too volatile but yes,panics would really cause such movements but talking on manipulating price movements I would say even a whale cant able to do such thing knowing that marketcap of bitcoin is already too big and coins are being distributed.

[randal9]

maybe in the future, when everyone will know about bitcoin and take their decision on it - volatility will decrease, but so far it is so popular the volatility will be high

[portotoi]

It is impossible to control the bitcoin volatility. It is the normal feature. from the very beginning it is al;ready its feature because of its demand status. This volatility is the effect of the ups and down of demand by the users and investors.
