Can Bitcoin Volatility Be Controlled?

[googs84]

Bitcoins supply is centralised and restricted. But its demand is unending. That is why bitcoin is becoming more and more volatile. Currencies like gold, crude, USD are controlled by the centralised authorities. Bitcoin is a decentralised currency it is controlled purely by its buyers and suppliers. Bitcoin popularity is still limited; it has not reached to all class of society. Even Malls and Chain business have not started its acceptance. Bitcoin volatility can get controlled, only when more and more people starts using it. Bitcoin is still young currency, it will take time to get settled.

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.

So true.

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.

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.

That is one of the reasons why Bitcoin is volatile but it is not the main reason why. Yes it is given that many people still lack knowledge about Bitcoin and it is decentralized but one of the main reason why is it volatile is it is being used for profit taking many traders especially the big ones are using their capital to influence the prices where they can sell high and buy low which also the market will follow and create a really big price change.

Well who'd want to change one of the factors that makes btc so valuable and in demand? The inconsistent movement of thr price is what makes investors see bitcoin as a good investment prospect. Volatility is good for cryptocurrencies

[Sengoko]

I think that bitcoin value can never be controlled.It is the distinct characteristic of bitcoins,its volatility.Its like forex rates that the price are unpredictable.

The main reason behind the profit of bitcoin is its volatility and if it get controlled then most of user will withdraw their money and will see toward any other investment so need of time is to continue the flow as it is and those who are talking about the controlling the volatility they are unaware of the fact that profit will be limited and prices will also be in stable value so for me controlling volatility is bad option.

First, we need to understand that bitcoin is completely different from fiat currency, bitcoin is a decentralized currency, so no one or authority cannot control the fluctuation of the price of bitcoin, it is more volatile because of the kind of nature bitcoin is possessing.

[Kevin77]

Price volatility should be strictly controlled, friends earning money with this method can make the same profit from other coins, but price swing is the biggest obstacle to Bitcoin's payment method.

We are in control of the price and that is what makes it totally different. I cannot force anyone to decide to sell at the price he or she wants to sell if he decides to want to sell below the normal market price and that is what decentralization totally is all about.

If you are happy with the way government have been controlling fiats and the whole idea of centralization, you may just either stick to fiat, buy some USDT as well, and may be hold some XRP but as far as decentralization is, volatility cannot be controlled.

[gabbie2010]

For now the volatility of bitcoin is uncontrollable due to the fact that there are few holders but can only be controlled by wider adoption by the people, as the numbers of people buying and holding it increases the volume also increases hence price stability will be attained at equilibrium.

Bitcoin can't controlled with any sector, it's decentralized. We see that the price is going pump and dump. They says many people know the value of this bitcoin with volatility price.

It can be controlled by some regulator (smth like part of World Bank). These regulator can control the currency rates, that will make it more stable.

Well, its same applies to the forex market, all the traders taking profit even in a larger amount, but the volatility doesn't exist in those market because the forex market has been trusted and proved to sustainable for a long time. Its different with bitcoin, it's a new revolutionary financial asset that is in an early stage, and many people still don't trust it because of lack of understanding. And its exactly what is my point the volatility of bitcoin will decrease when many people already well-understood bitcoin as financial assets.

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?

The volatile of bitcoin can not be controlled as i know. If being controlled it will make people can not do trading bitcoin anymore.
If we make sure controll it and make bitcoin is accepted as payment in any shop onlinenor offline and of course will be another effect appear like no more trading.

Yeah I know the decentralized bitcoin. but what about users who have very large capital and much bitcoin in their bankroll. and you know that bitcoin users are very easy to panic with speculation and issues. maybe my opinion fluctuations could have been in control but the result does not guarantee according to their expectations

So there isn't how to control volatility, we must deal with this on Crypto-Currency world, it's the nature of a decentralized currency and I think it's good as it is. Who are unable to take the risk can use centralized currencies, the stable ones, and at same time, unprofitable ones. People complain about volatility, but complain about stable currencies too (fiat)... However, there are few AltCoins that follow fiat price, so they are very stable.

[elpsycongree]

I don't think that it is possible to control the volatility of bitcoin because it is affected by the demand of investors (volume of people investing on bitcoin)

[coinplus]

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

I really do not get what you are driving at. However, the last time I checked it is the law of demand and supply that is mainly the cause of the volatility in the first place. So, you saying it do not always apply ?

You may need to explain yourself further. It is pure economics, the more the demand and the lesser the supply, the more the value increases and vice versa. Some may be powerful than the others by holding a whole lot of it, but a lot of that is going to change.

There are just two ways to control the volatility of bitcoin. One is to make supply equal to the incoming demand which is done in the system of FIAT or it would be possible once everyone comes on bitcoin network. with limited and completed demand bitcoin could gain some stability.

[bitllionaire]

Yes i think it can be control, but will all the people accept bitcoin and then there is very little entry of the people in bitcoin.

[Wavetoshi]

The only way to make Bitcoin less volatile is to share it with your freidns, family and nwtworks to make them buy it because the more money in Bitcoin, the higher it's market cap and the less volatile it can be because no single entity whether it be a multi billionaire or investment corporation could affect the price  alot then. Until then, we will continue seeing big swings of 10% like we do now.

[voltesbit777]

Of course it can't be controlled, because of the volatility of bitcoin many of the traders get their in this concept of bitcoin even in the other altcoins that's there is happening when the the value is low its a sign to buy the coins then when the value gets increase its time sell the coin, just simple as that.
